Prologue: The First Ripple

14 years before the series began

The Northern Water Tribe, a city in the North Pole surrounded by ice and water. Despite the ongoing war against the Fire Nation many of the people live happily here.

A woman with long brown hair and a blue anorak scrambles around looking for her missing her missing son. Her name was Kyoka. Kyoka's son, Taku had wondered off when she was preparing dinner. He was only two years old and very curious.

"Taku, Taku!" Kyoka cried out for her beloved child. She searched all over their icy home but he was nowhere to be found.

Where could he be? Tears swelled in Kyoka's eyes as she thought of something happen to her son.

Kyoka was a great healer and she had been very close to Chief Arnook's wife Sena. Kyoka and Sena had been friends since their childhood.

Maybe Lady Sena could help me…Kyoka thought as she out ran towards the Chief's home.

Kyoka barged into Sena's room panicking. "Lady Sena! Taku is missing!" Kyoka cried.

Sena was beautiful with her long, dark brown hair braided back and bangs to the side of her face. Sena looked at Kyoka calmly, her eyes focused yet serene.

"Kyoka! How lovely it is to see you!" she exclaimed. Sena was holding her newborn child Princess Yue. Yue was sleeping in her mother's arms curled up, snugly against her.

"Lady Sena I can't find Taku has he wondered in here?" Kyoka asked still in a panic.

Sena smiled as Taku wondered into the room sliding across the icy floor giggling.

"Do not worry. I had found Taku outside and brought him here to see Yue." Sena smiled.

Taku was tiny and had brown hair like his mother but his skin was a little lighter.

Kyoka sighed a breath of relief as she picked up Taku off of the floor. She stared into her son's blue eyes as he giggled recognizing his mother.

"You can't run away from Mama like that…" Kyoka spoke gently as Taku hugged his mother. Taku was very energetic so it was easy for Kyoka to lose track of him.

"Thank you so much Lady Sena"" Kyoka bowed.

"Now Kyoka…I told you it's just Sena!" Sena laughed. "There's no need for such formalities. Besides we've been best friends since we were little girls."

Sena put Yue in a large crib with Water Tribe markings around it. Taku dropped from his mother's arms and watched as Yue slept. Taku seemed curious of Yue's white hair.

"They seem to be like Tui and La themselves." Sena smiled.

"What do you mean?" Kyoka asked.

"Yue is like the moon and Taku is the ocean. He is so strong and energetic but when the moon is out he's still and drawn to her."

He seems to change like the tides themselves…I thank Tui and La for him. Kyoka thought and smiled.

Kyoka took in a deep breath and frowned as it smelled of fish and seagull eggs.

"It seems that Taku was playing with the chef as well." Sena laughed.

Kyoka picked Taku up but the boy's eyes were fixed upon the sleeping girl.

"It time for you to take a bath…" Kyoka wrinkled her nose at the smell. She took Taku home bidding farewell to Sena. She had quickly prepared his bath in fear of him running off. Taku frowned as his mother undressed him.

"Don't get mad at me." She smiled and stuck her tongue out.

"No!" Taku yelled as his mother placed him in the warm water. No, Mama and tummy where the only three words Taku knew.

Kyoka had left to get Taku a toy, suddenly she heard a splash. She ran back into the room to see a steady stream of water rise then splash against the ceiling. Although it was accidental, tears welled in her eyes as she knew her son was a Waterbender.

I hope you enjoyed this as much I enjoyed writing it. I will try to update every week. I'm trying to follow the series but how it would've been if I had been there. So in a way Taku is myself. I will try to go all the way until the end of book 3 so expect many chapters. Please Review! Signing off!
