Book 1: Mistaken
Chapter One: Blood Of The Avatar
"Water… Earth… Fire… Air. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements could stop them, but when the world needed him most… he vanished. 100 years past, and a girl named Katara and her brother Sokka found the new Avatar, an Airbender named Aang, the last of the air benders. Although his air bending skills were great, he had a lot to learn before he was ready to save anyone. Soon later on, on his journey with Katara and Sokka, Aang learns how to bend all four elements to defeat the fire nation and calm them to piece with the help of his Avatar State. Now they live gracefully along with the other nations of water, earth, and fire across the world."
"45 years has past since what was known as the "Calm Fires" Aang, has become a Guru, his earth bender teacher Toph, is now Queen ruler of the Earth Kingdom, while Katara is Queen of the Water tribe, and her brother Sokka, leading an army of thousands of men protecting the world from any left danger. With Zuko now known as 'King Fire' he leads the Fire Nation along with the Queens, and warriors. With all masters of there element ruling the world from harm, there would seem to be no danger or force that could stop them…"
"At least that is what was said in the legend. But, would two Avatars really mean a safer place around the world? And is there really a tribe of Air Benders living underground?"
"But what fun is it to protect if there isn't anyone to attack? Well I guess this is where I come in…"
"I am the Avatar… chosen to protect, chosen to rule."
The sun crawled from out of its blankets as the morning time showed. Though the rays couldn't reach the ground, the sun gave warmth to the ground and the city of Gyron frantically. The wind blew soft like the ocean at shore, and the bird flew high towards there nesting grounds.
The people of this town got out of there houses, and sheds, and got to there marketing stations for the first hours of work.
One lady quickly grabbed a chicken from a pen and held it down on a table, getting ready to bring the chicken to its doom.
Another nailed a sign, up showing that her shop was now open. She brewed tea for herself and for her two little girls that stood by her feet.
Now this day wasn't just any normal day, it was the day that everyone in the whole entire world waited, the day that two special boys would finally become Avatars.
"Voridor!" A young brown headed boy screamed as he ran around a huge monster size room. He jumped on a mattress bed that held his sleeping twin brother. "Voridor, get up." He pushed his sleeping brother, each time he wouldn't get up; he'd push harder, and harder.
"What is it Gura?" Voridor finally moaned lazily after feeling the roughness of his brother Gura. Voridor pushed Gura off of the bed, and stood up to stretch, but he only got a sun burst in his eyes.
"Today's the day!" Gura jumped by the window the sun blasted, creating a shadow to prevent light into Voridor's face.
As Voridor laid back down, tired, and still exhausted, the sun beamed in his eyes once more as Gura ran away form the window. Voridortried covering his head by wrapping the blanket around him, but Gura pulled the blanket down to the floor by the feet.
"Come on Voridor, I thought you were excited for this day." Gura complained.
Voridor sat up once more, but to only once again have the sun beam him in the eyes. He quickly covered them, and peeked out into his bedroom. The sun made his vision blurry, and he saw nothing but orange.
"Can't this wait until tomorrow?" Voridor mumbled shaking his head, trying to get rid of the blurriness.
The sunshine warmed the room with dramatic heat, and the Moon Flower that stood by the bed of Voridor's, died down. Gura, jumped on the bed and started hopping like a frog once again, after each bounce, he bounced higher, and harder.
"Wake up Voridor, mamma and dad want us to go to Leing-Wengs castle once you get up." Gura jumped down and quickly ran to the curtains. He pulled on a few strings, and widened the window as more sunlight beamed into the room.
"Stop that Gura." Voridor complained as he almost fell off his bed by the force of the sunlight.
Gura walked over and stood gazing at Voridor from the door. "Get up then, and let's go. We have to get there before everyone else does."
Voridor slowly slid off his bed, and fell to the floor. He yawned once again and rubbed his eyes even harder. He seemed to have gone back to sleep on the ground, but he woke up as Gura slapped him across the face.
"Did I tell you?" Gura said in an evil tone.
"What?" Voridor rubbed his slapped cheek.
"Azyma's going to be there."
Voridor's eyes lit up, and he quickly forced himself up. Azyma, the girl of Voridor's dreams was going to be at his ceremony, and watch him become the Avatar. His heart pounded, and his head raced as he got dressed.
"Let's go." Voridor dashed outside of his room and down the stairs to the front door. Gura slowly trailed behind him.
Both Gura, and Voridor were brothers, twins brothers. They lived in there own castle with there mom and dad, who are close friends to Leing-Weng there pharaoh, president, ruler, king of Gyron.
Today was the day that everyone in the world awaited, the day that a new legend was made. The legend of the two Avatars, chosen by the King and Queens of the world, Toph, Queen of the Earth Kingdom, Katara, Queen of the Water Tribe, Zuko, King of the Fire Nation, Sokka, Leader of the Nation Elites, and of course, Aang, the Guru.
As Voridor, and Gura left there home castle, they stood in front of thousands of steps taking them down to the main grounds. As they started taking steps down the warm golden stairs, the people of Gyron started pointing, whispering, and giving a round of applause to the younglings for there future job… being the Avatars.
The sun was shining brighter than it had ever shown before; the wind was breezy, not rough, but strong enough to blast your spitball back at you. Thousands of crowds gathered at the bottom of the footstep as the two walked down and onto destiny.
Gura waved happily in reply, but Voridor gazed unhappily at the ground. Voridor saw a rock, and randomly kicked it off the steps, sending it hundreds of feet off the edge of the stairs into the hard solid earth.
"What is it now Voridor?" Gura asked, worried about his little minute younger than him brother.
As they both got half way down the steps, applauds were still coming, and more people gathered towards the bottom.
"Why do we have to do this?" Voridor asked.
Gura laughed as if he was playing along in Voridor's joked question.
"What are you talking about? We are becoming what everyone dreams of becoming!" Gura took a breath. "And this will be the first time ever that two Avatars…" He held up his hand and pointed two fingers up in the air. "…walk the lands, aren't you happy about it?"
Voridor quickly drew his head up towards Gura.
"Yea, but being an Avatar means more responsibilities, and I'm going to have to go through this for the rest of my life." He kicked another rock he saw off the edge. "Who wants that?" Voridor stared down at the stairs. "All I want is to live happy like other kids.
Gura bulked up, and acted buff as they were only seconds away from the bottom with people who were still applauding.
"Well, as long as I can learn how to bend all the other three elements, then I will be okay." He snapped his fingers, and a spark of blue electricity flared for a few seconds, but then died. Voridor laughed as he saw his brother wasn't able to spark up a single volt of electricity from his lightning bending skills.
"You still have a lot to learn before you want to master all three." Voridor giggled.
"You can make it four." Gura smirked.
"What? Four… but I thought there were only Fire, Water, and Earth." As the two finally reached the bottom of the steps, applauds stopped and a pathway was split through the crowd, making room for Gura and Voridor to walk through. The crowd was all of a sudden silent, and everyone seemed to have glued there eyes onto the young boys.
As they came to the end of the crowd, Voridor took a deep breath.
"You know, sometimes I don't trust the people of Gyron." Voridor breathed.
"Well back to what I was talking about…" As they two walked past market stands, Gura snatched an apple from one, and took a big bite. After a swallow, he pulled Voridor by the horse collar and whispered, "Well I've been hearing rumors that there is an Air Bending Tribe hiding from reality." He took another bite off of his apple, and swallowed after only a couple bites.
"What? You know it's not true. Guru Aang is the only Air Bender left in this world."
Gura tossed his apple behind him and wiped his mouth with his arm and laughed.
"You know Dy-Tone right?" Gura asked. Voridor nodded slowly as he listened. "Well, you know how he taught us how to Lightning Bend?" Voridor nodded again. "He doesn't know how to bend them, but he knows the ways of learning how to Air Bend, Fire Bend, Water Bend, and even Earth Bend."
As they exited the market area, they came upon another castle, the Castle Of Gyron. The castle was probably a few times bigger than there actuall palace themselves. The earth that it was made by seemed to flash gold every time the sun shined on it, and every time the moon would shine, the Castle Of Gyron would seem like a blue shaphire.
"And so…" Voridor paused. "Your saying that he can teach you how to Air Bend without Air Bending?" Voridor tried asking the question that would most stick Gura in the head.
Gura stopped walking, and rubbed his head in search of words. He shrugged
"You'll see, I'll become the next big thing… considering you not wanting to become the Avatar would mean that I have a full one hundred percent on being the next big thing. It's all about the power little brother, its all about the power."
Gura kicked the ground and a gust of dust swirled with electricity around it. But it soon died down.
"The more power you have as the Avatar, the better you are."
Voridor stopped walking as they came upon the Castle Of Gyron.
"So what does he have to do with you Air Bending?" Voridor asked suspiciously at his brother.
Gura closed his eyes, and smiled. "He can teach me, duh."
Voridor laughed in disbelief.
Gura took a step in front of Voridor and went up one of the thousands of stair steps that led to the castle door. Voridor followed a few steps later. As they made there way to the top, the people of Gyron started applauding again. As Voridor turned his head around, he saw thousands of people just standing at the foot of the stairs, clapping there hands, and waving.
"You know." Voridor started. "I don't think that being an Avatar is such a good idea, for either of us."
Gura gazed mysteriously at Voridor. Gura had always thought that Voridor and he would become legends together as brothers, but his thoughts were running out of blood, fast.
"Why do you not like wanting to become the Avatar?" Gura snapped.
"Look at it Gura, you know Aang the Guru right?" Gura nodded his head. "Look at the sacrifices he had to go through and give up." Voridor took a deep breath and held it for a few seconds. "And I don't want to be away from mom and dad."
Gura wrapped one arm around Voridor's neck.
"Sometimes you have to grow up Voridor, that's just what life is, and momma and dad isn't going to sit around us forever you know."
"I know." Voridor stretched his back, pushing away Gura's arm, and breathed in deep. "But we're only ten years old, were moving way to fast." Voridor kicked the front of a stair step, and accidentally hurt himself. He almost fell off balance but Gura held onto him.
"Well." Gura started. "Since you're my brother, I guess I can say that I know how you feel."
"I hope you do." Voridor slowly said. I hope you do. As they got up to the top of the stair way and at the edge of the Castles doors, the whole city had seemed to been killed because there was nothing but silence.
Voridor turned to stare at the immobile, silent crowd... for such a great day that millions would wish for, he did not feel the same. He stared at his brother who happily waved at the crowd, and blew kisses. He seemed to be a bit too overjoyed, though that was nothing surprising to Voridor. Throughout there lives, Gura had always been the one to be in control, he always wanted the most, whether its water, food, or power, or even space for his room. Voridor wasn't jealous, but worried that his brothers need for more would somehow veer him a stray.
As they got to the top of the stairs, the great doors of Gyron were opened, and inside they saw there parents helping set up for the big night. They started running towards there parents but a man in a razor blade hat, and brown robes held his hand out.
"I am sorry Gura, and Voridor, but I am not allowed you two in until tonight."
"What?" Gura yelled. "Come on Sungsung, let us in."
Sungsung was the commander of the Gyron army, and King Leing-Wengs favorite associate. He was young, as when in battle seemed to be untouchable.
"So, you're saying that we have to wait almost a whole day before we can come in?" Voridor asked.
Slowly, Sungsung nodded his head and whispered into Voridor's ears, "But I think someone's here to see you Voridor." He pointed along a wall, and at a girl with long black hair, with a basket of flowers in her arms. Automatically, Voridor's heart pounced, and his faced turned red. Without even thinking, he walked with speed up to the girl.
Gura crossed his arms, and made a face. "What can I do now that my brothers off with his girlfriend?" His temper dropped as he stomped on the ground, which created lightning that sparked for seconds.
"She is not my girlfriend!" Voridor-who was now beside the girl- yelled across to Gura.
"Gura." Someone said. Gura looked behind Sungsung and saw his mother coming towards him. "It's alright Sungsung, were done now."
His mom laid out a hand, Gura dashed to her sticking out his tongue at Sungsung.
"Alright then, take the brat." Sungsung joked, as Gura and his mom entered the doors.
Once they entered the doors, Gura was dazed at the lights and decoration inside. A huge torch hung off the ceiling lighting the room brighter than ever. Tables connected with each other and crossed the room. Big baskets of fruits were set on the tables every inch of the way.
"You guys really have out done yourselves mom." Gura yelped. His mother laughed and wrapped an arm around his neck.
"You boys are only ten years old and yet growing up so fast. Even your father doesn't want you to grow up so fast." She sighed, and squeezed harder. "You boys wished on being an Avatar ever since you were born and now here it is. You two must be happy."
Gura stared at the ground, and shook his head.
"What is it Gura?" His mother asked, worried.
"It's Voridor." He pushed his mothers hand away from him and sighed. "He doesn't think that we should become Avatars. He's afraid of the responsibilities, the power that will be given to us at such a young age." He flicked his bangs around, trying to rub the blue arrow on his head.
"It's true, but look at Guru Aang." His mother said as she picked up a banana from a table and offered it. Gura took the banana and started peeling. "Aang started his Avatar journey around your age, and now look." Gura's mother pointed around at the beautiful lights. "The Calm Fires are over, and everyone lives in peace."
After taking several bites out of the banana, Gura asked, "But I really don't understand why we need two Avatars…"
His mom hugged him and laughed.
"Two Avatars can protect the world alot easier than just one Gura." His mom said gradually.
Voridor was taken by the hands, and dragged behind the Castle. He ran as fast as he could, trying to keep up with the girl who took him.
"Where are you taking me Azyma?" Voridor asked frantically.
"Just wait Voridor." Azyma replied, still running with full speed.
Azyma was Leing-Wengs daughter, so she was actually Princess Azyma. But she never liked being addressed that. They had only met almost a month ago, and were already good friends; thought Voridor had more than a friendly thing for her. He always felt warm and safe with her. He felt that whatever would happen to Azyma, he would be able to protect her.
As they started slowing down, Voridors eyes firmly widened as he looked at where Azyma had brought him. It was a park known as the Gyron Park. The Gyron Park was held behind the Castle, and it was known to be the prettiest parks ever.
"This was where." Voridor paused, and he ran over to touch a stone bench sitting next to a pond. "This is where I first met you." He turned, and smiled at Azyma.
"Yes, I'm glad you remembered." Azyma sweetly said. She sat down on the stone and pulled out the basket of flowers. "I have something for you." She said as she started searching through the flowers.
Voridor's focus was not on the Gyron Park, nor what she was digging for, but Azyma. To him, she was the most beautiful girl that he had, and probably will ever meet. She seemed to be the perfect girl, his age, a royal princess, smart, and very friendly. He thought that no one in the world could ever take the place of Azyma.
"Here." Azyma held up a necklace with a white diamond on it. But Voridor's attention seemed to be on something else. "Voridor" Azyma laughed as he smiled at her.
"What?" Finally back to reality, Voridor held his hand out. Azyma slowly and carefully gave Voridor the necklace. The diamond was triangular, and shined with the sun.
"Thank you." Voridor said. "It's beautiful." He clipped the necklace around his neck and laid it under his shirt. He fiddled with it for a few minutes, examining the gift that was given to him by the girl he loved. "I'll wear this forever." He promised.
After a moment of silence, Voridor turned around to face the pond. The pond had a waterfall adding on to it with a hundreds of Goldfishes swimming around. Lilly pads floated on top the huge pond, and flowers grew along the edge of it.
The sun has now shown its full strength of heat as the wind exchanged directions. The trees that surrounded the park seemed to have only made things prettier despite the darkness it had.
"Are you excited about today?" Azyma sweetly asked, putting her basket down.
Voridor stared at the ground, like he always did when today was mentioned.
"Not really." He muttered. "I just don't think that were ready."
Azyma laughed as if what Voridor said was a joke, but then stopped and noticed that he wasn't playing.
"Oh." Azyma started. "Well, why aren't you ready? I mean this is every-"
"Yes I know." Voridor interrupted. He stood up, and walked around in circles. "But you don't understand." He turned to gaze at her beauty. He didn't want to start yelling at her; he didn't want her to feel down of him, nor his brother Gura.
"Look." He said quietly. Azyma stood up, and slowly, but casually walked over to Voridor. She took his hands and warmed them inside of hers, though she was young, she was also very bright and secure. "I'm not sure." He finished.
Voridor smiled at the warmth of her hands around his, he couldn't think of anything better than to be with her for his entire life.
"I know today's a hard day for you…" Azyma started. "But you have to live on." She smiled. "I'm glad for you."
Voridor raised his head, and smiled back His heart were still filled with warmth since he met her today. "You are?" He asked. Just then, the current of the wind seemed to have changed, and the heat the sun gave died down. Voridor flinched a few inches, but not enough for it to be noticed.
"Well." A distant voice bellowed behind him. Quickly out of reflex, Voridor turned his body around facing a tall man with a long black beard. He seemed old, but muscular as well. He had on a green robe that represented Gyron. It was Dy-Tone. "I for one am very…" He paused to stare at the Kings daughter, Princes Azyma. "Glad that you are the one to become the Avatar, along with your brother as well."
Dy-Tone's voice to Voridor, always seemed suspicious, and always up to something. Though after all these years, nothing bad has come from him, Voridor still did not trust him one hundred percent.
"Dy-Tone!" Voridor frantically straightened his back, and with his hands and legs close together, bowed.
Dy-Tone was a teacher for those who wanted to learn how to bend elements. Though his specialty is Lightning bend, he knew the ways of bending the other four elements if Fire, Water, Earth, and possibly from the words of Gura, Air.
"No, no, no Avatar Voridor." Dy-Tone still with his mysterious voice said. "It is I, who shall do the honors." He elapsed his legs and arms to the sides, and slowly bowed down.
"Don't" Voridor snapped. "I'm not planning on being an Avatar." He stared hard at the shoes of Dy-Tone. "So you can go tell everyone that i reject."
Dy-Tone instantly smiled. Voridor made a face, not expecting Dy-Tone to smile.
Lightning flared across the room at Voridor, but he was unfortunately able to dodge it by running behind his giant bed. He looked at his window, and saw the night sky lit up in flames. He then peeked over the top of his bed to see his brother standing meters away with an evil face, holding a ball of electricity in his palm gazing right had the frightened Voridor.
Voridor was breathless, and he couldn't seem to think of what to do next. He felt like panicking, but he knew that wasn't the best thing to do. He quickly hid behind his bed again, hoping that his brother had not seen him.
What am I doing? He thought. Gura stared right at him, and he felt stupid trying to hide behind his bed pretending that Gura had not seen him.
"Dy-Tone was right." Gura laugh as the ball of blue electricity enlarged, "You are weak, you're no good." He shot the ball in his palm at the bed, and exploded the bed into pieces, revealing the hiding Voridor.
"Why are you doing this?" Voridor complained standing up and backing up against the window behind him.
Gura laughed once again, but this time even louder. He held out a palm and another ball of blue electricity formed.
"I think the question is, why aren't you doing this?" Gura laughed a monster laugh, and through the ball of lightning right at Voridor.
Quickly, Voridor held his hand in front of him, and formed his own electric barrier, protecting him from the attack. But though he prevented the attack from hitting him, the force of the blast pushed him back hard against the wall, shattering the window.
"You know." Gura slowly started walking towards Voridor, again forming a ball of electricity in his palm, prepared to launch. "I'm actually happy you chose not to attend the Avatar Ritual." He threw the ball of energy at Voridor, but he ducked away just in time, the ball missing him only by inches.
"Because now, I'm stronger than ever, I guess all that teaching from Dy-Tone really paid off throughout those few days."
Voridor stood up, and faced his evil brother.
"Gura-"
"That's AVATAR Gura to you!" Gura took a large stomp infront of him, and released a wave of lightning right at Voridor. Quickly, and bravely, Voridor forced another barrier with his hands and conducted electricity to block the blast, but this time the force of the blast sent him flying out the window into the midnight sky.
Gura was no joke; he wasn't the same little boy he was before. His lightning bending was as powerful as it gets, and the way he was, it would only lead to more power.
As Gura walked near the broken window, he saw fire everywhere in the city of Gyron, people screaming, and running for their lives. Men dying trying to protect there family from the Gyron Soldiers. Gura bent his head down to find Voridor, but couldn't.
He took a battle stance and punched his arm forward, and a rod of lightning shot out from his fingers. The lightning ran into bushes and as more lightning went in, the bushes started causing a chain. Lightning ran through bushes and electrocuted every single thing inside. Gura heard a squeal as he smiled, gladly to have hit Voridor. But his smile soon turned upside down as a Rattit-half rat and half rabbit- ran out the bushes.
"Avatar Gura…" Someone behind him said. As Gura turned around, two guards stood before him, one happens to be Sungsung. Gura stared deeply, and angrily into the eyes of the two guards.
"He got away didn't he?" The guard next to Sungsung quickly said.
Without an answer, Gura swung his arm down to the floor like he was using an Axe, and instantly, a volt of electricity seemed to have covered the floor with energy, causing both Sungsung and the other guard to get shocked with enormous power. Gura then flared a string of lightning at the guard next to Sungsung, piercing a hole through his body.
As the guard dropped on the floor, dead, Gura glared into Sungsung's eyes as if asking if he wants to meet the same fate his fellow comrade has just met.
"Tell your men to control Gyron." Gura walked pass Sungsung but stopped. "I want King Leing-Weng, Princess Azyma, and my parents to stay in this house at all times… treat them as our guess." He ordered.
Gura continued walking. Once he exited his former house, he marched straight towards the screaming people. Gyron soldiers were killing if not hurting every men and women in the city. Children were forced to separate from there parents, and babies were brought to the Castle of Gyron.
Gura turned and saw one of his guards fighting a peasant, Gura watched cautiously, observing the two wrestle. Soon after a few minutes, the two were still fighting, neither backing down from death. Gura quickly, without hesitation made a fist, and punched out a string of lightning at the peasant, burning, and peeling the flesh off of his arm. Gura fisted another string of lightning, but this time aimed for the head. The peasant dropped down with blood flowing out.
"Thank you, Avatar." The guard said taking deep breaths. "He just wouldn't give in."
Gura glared at his guard with anger. He then punched his guard in the stomach, sending a volt of electricity throughout his body, exploding every single piece of organ he had. The guard fell dead on the burning ground.
"I don't accept weaklings." Gura spat at the dead guard.
Gura stared around his soon to be kingdom, and witnessed blood, and the death of people who would not do as his guards say.
Gyron was now a place of hell, everything was on fire, and people lay dead on the ground. Houses were torn apart, and the night moon seemed to look like the moon of evil.
Gura walked over to a man in a hood standing right beside Sungsun. He stared at the people cuffed and walking inside with guards by there side.
"He got away." Gura slowly said with a bit of a shake in his voice.
The man in the hood smiled at him with evil as a peasent tried to attack him from behind, but instantly like a master, he reacted. He held hand out and a gust of wind hammered out and pushed the peasent into a burning house.
"You just-"
"Shh." The man in the hood said. "We will find him later." The man in the hood laughed evily with passion. As he laughed even harder with victory, his voice seemed to have echoed inside of Gyron. "That way, he'll get a present the next time you meet him.
Almost a mile away from Gyron, Voridor stood inches away from a falling cliff, watching as the traitors of the ones he trusted burned his home. The only thing he saw was the black smoke, rising to the night sky, as he would remember the moon forever.
By his side, was a yellow rock, about the size of a pineapple; he hugged it tightly as if it were the memories of his family. Voridor turned away from the dying Gyron, and started walking away into the darkness, but stopped, as the rock started moving, moving like there was something inside.
Gradually, Voridor smiled, and laughed slowly to himself. But then turned back to his serious face as he took one last look around.
"I'll come back." He whispered. "I promise." Voridor continued walking with the rock by his side as the only thing left of Gyron other than the memories of pain. Disapearing into the night, seeking revenge.
And I wont be alone…
