The Next Avatar

Chapter 1-Kya of the Water tribes

Kya sat slumped on an ice berg about a mile from the Northern Water tribe. At 15 she had astounded her entire tribe (particularly her father) with her near effortless mastery of waterbending, she was by no means a master (Not yet) but she was powerful enough to waterbend her self out hear with ease. She looked up at the sun, it was about ten minutes an till she had to meet her master at her home in the upper city. Flinging her self off the ice she twirled her arms forming trail of water that became a board under her feet, a further more forceful twirl and she formed a small wave that she used to propel her self forward towards the city.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Forgoing the normal method of travel around the city Kya formed her own way up the city. In the old days during the old war the city had been far smaller but with the coming of peace the city had grown outward and upwards and her master lived very near the top in a large house that had been the occasional home of a famous man she had mentioned once or twice but all she really knew was that he had been dead for about 15 16 years.

She finally reached her masters home at the top panting slightly due to her exertions, she passed the old

symbol over the gates(A yin yang symbol, one half looking like water the other an element she could not name) as she waterbended her way in as usual (The first task of training with her master was getting into her house, the reason why she, Prince Jak and Naly were her only pupils). As she entered the central chamber she slowed her walking and took off her coat.

Her old master sat with her back to the door, Kya knelt and bowed her head awaiting her masters approval.

"Your late" she said in a lazy tone not looking around.

Kya's stomach sank "forgive me master Katara" she said hopping that being polite might save her another lecture from the old women, she was not that lucky.

Katara got up and stretched her old limbs "you know in the 124 years I have lived you know what I have learnt" she waited but Kya did not try to respond "I have learnt that there is only one constant in the world and that is my students being late for training" she turned to Kya who was relieved to see that she was smiling, though very very old master Katara still had the look of beauty that she could see in paintings of her as a young women her hair was white but her skin was only slightly wrinkled "you remind me so much of my first pupil, so much energy and no were to put it if did not know better Id say you were related"

"You never know" joked Kya.

"I hope not" said Katara "I married him in the end"

Kya bushed in embarrassment, her training over the last few months had stopped being practical her master having decided that she had learnt all that was needed in waterbending and now only needed to understand it more to become a master herself. She seemed adamant that she have a full knowledge of the art be fore she will be to old to train her.

"So tomorrow then" Katara mentioned at last giving Kya cheerful smile.

"Tomorrow" replied Kya nervously, tomorrow she would turn 16 and as her master and father had pointed out over the last year she would be getting a lot of proposals (She was very beautiful apparently) but Kya had told Katara her plan for this………….she was leaving, she was leaving the Northern water tribe and heading to the Earth Kingdom. She was not giving her self to any one she didn't love.

"Your father will not be pleased" continued Katara twirling her wrists forming two icy cups of water on the ground (something Kya had yet to master, she kept getting lumps of ice) "you should head to Ba Sing Se if you really wont to see the world"

"Have you ever been" asked Kya taking one of the cups of icy water.

She smiled "A couple of times" she looked down sadly "A long time ago back when the Avatar was still alive"

"Did you ever meet him" she asked enthusiastically, though avatar Aang had died before she had been born Kya had always been interested in the man though few were still around who remembered him, Katara was the only one she knew of who was old enough to have know him.

Katara smiled sadly and looked away "yes" she said at last "I've meet him" Kya knew she had hit a sore topic, she already knew from the rumours that her master had known the avatar some even said that this was his old home but Kya despite her curiosity knew when to stop.

"Now" Katara continued in her usual tone of voice "What are the main principles of ice as a separate entity"
