Avatar: The Last Airbender Fanfiction
The Sweet Sixteen
Chapter 2
Screams rang throughout the large, spacious room. People leapt so high they almost touched the ceiling. Moku drew his sword. Xicheng realized though that these screams were not of pain or misery. They were of joy and exuberance. This day was Moku's birthday. Not only his, but also our hero, Xicheng's.
Food was passed around nd the two friends laughed mercilessly throughout the evening. When every guest had left, four strangers, dressed in the robes of the four elements, approached the two birthday children whom were the only guests left. Immediately Moku took a step forward.
"We come on orders of the Leader," the old man dressed in water tribe robes said.
"What happened?" Moku said, fearing for his father, the leader of the northern water tribe.
"Oh, but this is not about you," the fire nation man said in a raspy voice. "This is about your friend."
Xicheng stood up, but had a confused look on his face. How could this possibly be about him? His parents were not important. They were actually quite poor.
"We are here," said the air nomad, "to announce the first Avatar."
