Chapter 1

Katara

The afternoon sunset cast a deep purple hue spread over the sky like a blanket. The sun was barely set, slowly disappearing under the ocean's horizon, leaving an imprint of wispy clouds. It was beautiful; it looked just like a painting.

I sat at the waters edge, letting my feet ooze into the moist sand as the cool water slapped at my ankles. I looked up into the sapphire sky; the moon was a thin sliver, letting the stars have a night to shine for once. The stars seemed to pinpoint a familiar shape. An arrow. My mind instinctively thought of my closest friend, the Avatar. I couldn't help but smile as I started to remember all the adventures the gang and I had.

After the overthrow of Fire Lord Ozai, and her fierce daughter Azula, we all took different paths. Sokka, my loving brother, headed off to the Northern Water Tribe and was appointed chief of the army. Toph wanted to keep traveling and decided she would help out recovering Earth Kingdoms. Last letter I got from her, she was just finishing helping Omashu get back together. Aang continued his long journey of the Avatar, keeping peace in the world while mastering the elements. I tagged along with him for about a year until love smacked me right in the face.

I remember that day perfectly. Aang and I, after a quick stop to the South Pole to see my Gran Gran, made our long trek to the Fire Nation. We were just there to see how things were going, and to make sure things were in order. We went to see the who the new Fire Lord was, and was shocked to see an old fat man with a cheery smile sitting on the throne. It was Iroh, which lifted our hearts because we knew the Fire Nation is in good hands. Beside him was a young man I thought I would never see again. Zuko. Once my eyes met with his, we connected like a chain, sending me into bliss.

A year later, we wound up under a beautifully carved alter outside Avatar Roku's rebuilt temple, on the small crescent shaped island. I could remember everything, all the beautiful blue and red decorations resembling water and fire, my beautiful silk dress engraved with a Water Tribe insignia on the back, all my friends and family happy to see me take the first step of being a woman, and Zuko's warm kiss upon my lips. I could say, my wedding day was the happiest day of my life.

I take that back, my wedding was the second happiest day of my life, because when I was 20, I was blessed with triplets. I held 3 handsome baby boys in my arms. Two of them slept in my arms, while the third wouldn't stop crying. I motioned to Zuko who took the two sleeping babies and held them in his hands. I saw streams of tears bursting from his eyes. "They are firebenders" he had whispered to me. He could tell by their eyes, the two in his arms had the same fiery eyes. I looked down at my third child, seeing a pair of large watery ocean blue eyes. I followed suit, crying tears of joy with the love of my life. "Tyde" I whispered to Zuko, referring to the baby of water. He smiled, agreeing with me. "Lee and Zanu" he whispered back, kissing the two sleeping babies. I nodded, tears still flushing from my cheeks.

They are not babies anymore. 11 years have past since their birth. Zuko and I agreed on teaching our sons the ways of the elements. Every morning, I would take Tyde out to the beach, to teach him the ways of the ocean. And every night, Zuko would take Lee and Zanu to the beach to teach them the true meaning of fire.

I wouldn't have my life any other way. Our balance of water and fire seems to be just right.

I let all my memories leave my mind as I took one last look at the sky. With a light sigh, I heaved myself off the sand, and walked back to the house, leaving all my memories lingering by the beach, waiting for me tomorrow.
