Summary: This is a story about a young boy that had to deal with the terrors of the war. While he's on his own he runs across a few of our friends and finds a new destiney and hope for the future.
Chapter 1: The Beginning
The young boy ran through the thick dense forest. He could hear the sound of his bow slapping against his legs. Weapons. He knew what they were made to be used for, for death, for murder, he was frightening himself with his own thoughts. He had always been afraid of weapons ever since those raiders killed his parents. He was there when his parents were killed, he saw it, he watched it, but he was too young to do anything, just another useless runt.
Wait... what was that? the boy thought as he heard two hog monkeys growling their unique noise. The boy put his arrow on his bow and pulled his arrow back, and steadily took aim but once he saw the mother hog monkey feeding her young he dropped his arrow. He just couldn't do it. The boy couldn't stand the thought of taking a mother away from her children. He heard his stomach growling, he knew he was hungry but he tried to ignore it. The young archer slowly collected his supplies and continued on his search for food, hoping to find food that wouldn't remind him of his horrible past. He came across a cliff. In the distance he could make out a the figure of a teenage boy that was surrounded by a group of fierce looking firebenders. The boy could faintly hear them talking.
"What do you think you're doing boy! How dare you try to steal our
food. Don't you know who we are? We're fire nation soldiers and we deserve your respect!" said the leading soldier in anger.
"What are you talking about! I haven't stollen anything from you. Besides, you gotta be kidding me! I can take all of you!" shouted Sokka surrounded by soldiers.
"We took your sword," one of the soldiers answered.
"Oh yeah watch this!" Sokka shouted as he charged at the soldier. The soldier simply kicked Sokka aside and said, "You'll pay for that!"
But before the soldiers had a chance to attack Sokka, the soldier received a arrow to the center of his back and fell soundlessly to the ground. Sokka and the fire nation soldiers turned to look at the fallen soldier in terrified astonishment.
