Prologue & Foreshadowing:
*Sokka's POV*
The moon was bright and shining in the Northern Water Tribe that night, and all was quiet and peaceful, as it's citizen's lay asleep; say for myself and your mother, Suki that
is. We had both come to the Spirit Oasis, in the Northern Water Tribe, to consult the spirits, after failing many times to conceive a child of our own. I remember looking to the
moon's reflection in the pool, before staring up, and begging Yue' to grant us the life of a child to care for, love, and cherish. And for a moment, it was silent, and I had
believed we had done all that we could, that all we could do was hope...hope that our prayers would be answered for a child. I told Suki she should rest, as she appeared
tired still from the trip over and told her I would say a bit longer in her place. She gave a small smile to me and nodded, before I gave her kiss on the cheek goodnight,
leaving me shortly after alone in the mist of the oasis. I remember laying down on the grass beneath, and staring into the moon pool, where both Twee and La swam,
reminiscing the last time I was in here...it was so long ago...yet the memory was still vivid...when I had lost Yue'...when she gave herself as the moon.
"I have not forgotten that memory as well Sokka" said an all too familiar voice.
I remember looking up and seeing her...Yue'...she was still as beautiful as I remember her, looking the same that she did all those years ago. And even though my feelings
for her had changed, she was still a dear friend to me.
"Yue'" I said
"It has been a long time Sokka.." said Yue'
"Yes, it has" I said
"I have heard you and your wife's wish for a child Sokka...And I am willing to grant your wish, in reminisce of our old friendship" she said
I could hardly contain my joy at her words, as tears of happiness began to form in my eyes.
"you...you will" I stuttered happily
"yes...but it will be at a price" she said with a serious look to her.
I regarded her response with a slightly startled look on my face, but I trusted Yue' enough, so I stayed silent as she continued.
"The child I am to give you, was born of the Spirit World, and therefore is linked to it by birth, when the time comes the child will eventually have to return the Spirit World
and leave the mortal world forever...I am sorry Sokka, but these are my conditions" said Yue'
A moment of silence passed us by as I processed what she had told me, but I knew my answer.
"I understand...and I accept the terms" I said
She smiled with a kind face. "Then I would like to congratulate you on the birth of your new son" She held out her hands and in her arms a bright, white light appeared and I
shielded my eyes, when I opened them I found her holding a small white bundle of cloth, with little brown flocks of hair sticking out near the top. She floated down and held
the baby out to me, taking great care in handing it to me. The moment I held you...my son..in my arms was the day I had never been happier.
"His name is Jokul Frosti...may you take great care of him Sokka." said Yue'
I looked up to her "I will, Thank you Yue'" I said with tears of joy in my eyes.
She smiled and began to fade away "Till we meet again", and then she was gone. I remember holding you in my arms, and seeing your face for the first time, as I pulled
away at the cloth covering your face...you were perfect...and I loved you with all my heart. I remember running with you, to show you to your mother...oh how happy she
was, both of us. I'll admit we were both a bit scared about losing you one day, but we didn't care, so long as we had you we would love you then and after...it's just a shame
you had to leave us so soon...Jack.
A stray tear fell across Sokka's cheek as he looked upon his son's grave; finished telling the tale of his son's birth, he could only hope that wherever Jack's spirit was now,
that he could have heard it.
