The purpose of this is to write 100 Tokka related stories in 100 days...or less. I plan to post a story every day, or try too, at least. Please review, I'd like to know how I improve as a writer.
For those fans of Seeing: Be patient. I'm still working on it. It's not exactly easy writing a chapter fanfic for me. I tend to be really spazztic, but it's coming!
Look forward to one-shots as well in the future. I have so many plot bunnies running around in my head right now.
Avatar does not belong to me (I wish it did though). Enjoy!
001. Time
She couldn't believe how much time had flown by for her. It seemed like only a few days ago she was leaving home for the first time, running up to the giant flying bison, Appa. Now there she was, sitting in a tank designed by Sokka, her face poised straight ahead ready for anything that would come her way.
Mere days, it felt like. But it had to be at least a few months. She couldn't tell how long it was exactly. She never perfected the memorization of the calendar system, and Toph didn't even know her own birthday. Sometime in the spring. That was what her parents always told her. Born in the spring, a beautiful baby girl…but blind. Not what the family had hoped for.
But that was the way things were.
Sokka was probably just as worried as she was. Probably more worried. When he tried to explain the invasion to everyone, he failed. But Toph knew how hard his heart was beating, and she knew exactly how he felt like.
He was scared.
She was too.
"Two minutes," one of the earthbenders beside her grumbled, and Toph straightened up once again.
She wished Sokka good luck, it was only in passing, and she wasn't even sure if he heard her. But he was nearby, a few feet away from her. She could yell him good luck once again. Just to make sure he heard him.
"It's time."
She stood up.
And as the door opened in front of her, she stepped out into the battle.
But as she fought, and time went on, her feet were always watching for Sokka.
