It had been almost 17 years since the war had ended. Thanks to the avatar, the world was at peace once more. Or so it would seem. ..Ever since Fire Lord Ozai was overthrown by his son, Zuko, The Fire nation had been divided. Some people in the Fire Nation had liked the old way, while most did not. The people who liked the new ways would do anything to stay free, even fight for it. Now, they were at war- within their own nation! The avatar now had to stay in the Fire Nation for most of the time, to keep things there in balance.
Meanwhile, on a dark, cold night in the south pole A small village was awaiting an anticipated birth- the birth of the avatar's child. People gathered around the young woman and comforted her.
"Where is he?" she said, seeming worried. "He promised he would be here…" The young 30-year-old woman let a few small tears roll down her cheek. And then, suddenly, darkness.
A few hours later, the young woman awoke, with a handsome baby cradled in her arms. She looked up and saw something that made her want to cry out for joy. "AANG!" she smiled, as he ran his fingers through her long, soft brown hair.
"Yes Katara…" he said softly as he kneeled down beside her. The baby giggled, and gently touched Aang's arrow. Katara and Aang both laughed as they looked at their son happily giggling away.
"He has the attitude of an airbender…" Aang gently rubbed his son's small head. Suddenly, the baby sneezed- and almost blew himself into the wall ! Aang quickly grabbed his son before he smacked into the wall. Aang couldn't be prouder- he was a father, and he was no longer the last airbender.
"What should we name him?" Katara asked, looking at Aang's softened grey eyes.
Aang thought about it for a moment, then grinned. "I have a perfect name… Gyatso…" Katara nodded in approval. Suddenly, an old fat man waddled into the room. "Avatar, sir… You're needed in the Fire Nation once again… Fire Lord Zuko needs to see you…"
Aang looked at the old man for a second, then quickly replied. "Get Appa ready… and give me a moment to say goodbye…" He looked at his new-born son sleeping and frowned. He then turned his attention to Katara, whose joy had suddenly turned into sadness. He leaned towards her and gave her a short kiss. "I'll be back soon… I promise it!" He took one last look at his new family before turning away.
