Chapter one: A terrible Future
Aang, Katara, Sokka, and Toph, along with Appa and Momo had been traveling all day and now they were finally settling down for the night.
"Aww!, I' am so tired!" Sokka complained as he laid on the ground.
"Tired of what?" Toph asked sarcastically, "Being lazy?"
"Hey!, I' am not lazy!" Sokka yelled.
"That's one person's opinion" Toph muttered back.
"Come on you guys, can't you two stop fighting for at least one day?" Aang told them, "I'm tired, and I don't feel like hearing you two fight tonight"
"You can say that again" Katara added.
Then after a few more smart remarks from Toph, the four tired kids all laid down for the night and went to sleep.
Aang's dream……..
As soon as Aang's eyes closed, he was swept away into the mysterious dream realm.
Slowly opening his eyes, he stood up to a very familiar voice. "Get up Aang"
Looking around Aang saw Avatar Roku standing in front of him.
"What…what's going on?" Aang asked.
"Get up Aang" Roku replied, "I must show you something"
As Aang stretched, he began to feel warm. "What's going on?" he asked again.
The former avatar remained silent, only a worried expression showed on his face. Which also caused Aang to become worried.
"Aang….." Roku asked, "Did you know that dreams have to ability to sometimes show people the future?"
Aang replied with a nod, still not sure of what was going on.
"Look behind you Aang" Roku told him, as his face went from worried to serious.
The whole time Aang had been so caught up with Roku's face that he didn't bother in turning around.
Though when he did, the site that he saw, caused him to freeze up in terror.
Behind him the whole world was on fire, which was what had caused Aang to feel warm.
Everywhere Aang looked there was fire. Villages were being burnt down as hundreds of people fled from their homes towards safety.
Behind them where the fire nation walking proudly as they burnt down the entire village; leading them was the one and only, fire lord Ozai.
"What…..what is this?" Aang asked as tears formed in his eyes.
"This is the future" Roku answered.
"But this can't be!" Aang told him, "I won't let this happen, not while I' am alive!"
"There's nothing you can do alone" Roku said, "This is the future. You failed to stop the fire nation and they toke over. You, as well as hundreds of others, die under the fire nations wrath"
As Aang focused on the scene before him it suddenly vanished and a different one appeared.
This time Roku and him were standing in front of a grave yard.
As they walked through it, tears started to run down Aang's cheek.
Each tombstone had the names of all of his friends.
"Katara"
"Sokka"
"Toph"
"Suki"
"They're all dead Aang" Roku told him, "All of your friends are dead"
"No!" Aang yelled as he fell onto his knees, "I refuse to accept this. I won't fail to defeat the fire lord!"
Roku paused for a couple seconds. "The fire nation is strong" he said, "And getting stronger. To strong, even for the avatar"
There was silent between the former and current avatar.
Roku stayed silent while Aang moaned for the future loss of his friends.
"There as times when the universe doesn't like the future that destiny lays out Aang" Roku said, "That's why there are times when it creates people that change the world. Like the avatar for example"
"What are you saying" Aang asked as he wiped his tears and stood up.
"Like I said before" Roku replied, "This future is something you can't prevent alone; that's why the universe has created a second avatar to help you along with your journey"
Hearing this Aang stopped moaning. "What?"
"A second avatar has risen Aang" Roku explained, "And once you find him, it is up to the both of you to stop the fire lord and prevent this future from ever happening"
"Who….who is he?"
"Unfortunately my knowledge of him is limited" Roku replied, "The only thing I know is that he lives in a small town called Suno. (a/n For future refrence, any name that I give to a town or anything is going to be completely made up)
Then before Aang could asked anymore questions, everything around him began to fade. The last thing he heard was Roku saying, "Go Aang. Go and find the second avatar before it's to late"
End of Aang's dream
Aang awoke sweating the next morning just as the sun was rising.
Katara and Toph were already up, but Sokka was still asleep.
"Aang, are you okay?" Katara asked as she put a hand on his shoulder.
Aang toke deep breaths before answering "wake up Sokka, there's something I have to tell you guys"
Thirty minutes later……..
Aang, Katara, Sokka, and Toph quietly sat around a roaring fire eating breakfast. A couple of minutes ago Aang had told them everything that Roku had told him.
"A second avatar, huh?" Toph said finally braking the silence, "This should make things more……interesting"
Quickly finishing his breakfast, Sokka toke out a map and began looking through all the town names.
"What did you say the town was called?" he asked Aang.
"Sono"
"This is unbelievable" Katara said, "A second Avatar…..this has never happened before"
Seconds later Sokka pointed to a small dot his map and exclaimed, "I found it!"
Immediately everyone gathered around the map.
"It's actually not that far away" Sokka told everyone, "We can probably make it there in a day and a half"
"Good" Aang told everyone as he stood up, "In that case, we leave right now"
Minutes later everyone was on top of Appa, heading towards Suno in search of the seconds Avatar.
Cha! That's chapter one everyone! Please tell me what you think by reviewing and what not.
So far I'am not sure how this story in going to go but I' am going to probably just write as I go.
