Book Four: Creating a World of Peace and Justice
Chapter 1: Destiny Continues
After the Avatar defeated the fire lord, he thought his work as Avatar was over. But the scars of a hundred year war don't heal themselves. Before he and his friends had much time to relax, there destinies began catching up with them.
After Aang and Katara finish a sky kiss, Aang begins to speak, "Katara, I love you, but as the Avatar, I'm afraid I have to leave."
"What do you mean?", Katara replied started, "you just got settled down, you can't leave yet."
"I'm sorry Katara," Aang tells her as he hops on his flying bison Oppa and flies away, "but this is something I have to do."
Meanwhile, in the back of the house, Toph sees Zuko is alone and goes to talk to him.
"So what's up new fire lord? Got any plans to make the world a better place?", Toph asks Zuko
"Not yet", Zuko replies solemnly, "First I want to find my mother"
"Really, sounds like another adventure that can get me out of Ba Sing Se, I'm in.", Toph tells Zuko energetically.
"No", Zuko snaps, "I've got to do this alone"
"Sorry, but I couldn't help but overhear your conversation", Zuko's girlfriend Mai said drolly, "Me and Toph are both coming with you Zuko, and that's that."
Zuko looked at Mai thoughtfully for a moment, and then spoke, "Fine, but that posses another problem for me, I was planning as leaving you as regent while I was gone, you're the only person I can trust"
"Aren't you forgetting your uncle?", Toph inquired
"He'll never do it, but I'll try.", Zuko said and then walked over to his uncle.
Iroh saw him coming and poured him a cup of tea as he said, "Zuko sit with me, I just finished brewing a pot of Jasmine Tea."
"Thank you uncle", Zuko replied, "I have important business I wish to speak to you about."
"Zuko, can't we talk business another day, and enjoy today?", His uncle questioned.
"No uncle, I need you to act as regent while I go look for my mother.", Zuko pleaded.
"I understand you need to do this, I'll be regent of the fire nation." Iroh accepted.
Across the room, three other journeys where about to begin. As Katara walks in she tells Suki and Sokka that Aang left.
"So I guess this would be a good time to mention Suki and I are leaving?" Sokka proposed.
"Ware are you going?", questioned Katara.
"We're going back to Kyoshi Island", Sokka replied, "Suki is going to continue training the Kyoshi Warriors, and I'm going to set up a sword building shop."
"That's awesome Sokka!", Katara said energetically, "I'm going to the southern water tribe to help Master Pakku with training new waterbenders."
