I'm excited that people are still reading 'To Keep Fighting.' It's awesome. Really. Seriously. I don't own Avatar, by the way, but I did buy it off of iTunes. Works great on an iPod while I'm watching a gate at work. Anyways, I have absolutely no idea how finish 'To Stop Fighting.' I'm sure it's been like two or three years since I updated it, but can't come up with an ending to fit it. Help...please. Yes, no, maybe,... lobster?
DO YOU really think friendships can last more than one lifetime?
The words ran through her head again. That was what she was thinking after finding out that her niece was the Avatar.
Well, scientifically speaking, there's no proof.
And then her brother's word came. At the time, they weren't funny but as age came, the more they seemed comical. But reality had its ways of ruining the memories, when she realized that she was looking at her late parents, brother and husband. They all had saddened looks on their faces. She knew that she had failed. She was dead; at least she thought she was.
32 YEARS AGO…
The sound of a newborn filled the hut on Kyoshi. The mother was holding her first child since the lost of her husband and brother-in-law's abnormal accident. The healer beside her was her sister-in-law; who was round from being with child. The two could finally, in three months time, be joyful since the accident. Brown tuffs of hair stuck to the baby's head, green eyes appearing every few minutes.
All of a sudden three young boys from the ages of 5 to 2 came running in. The youngest was being dragged against his will from the middle child in the group.
"Mom, do we have another brother?" the eldest boy, Kaskae asked.
His brother, Aningan and cousin, Gyatso both stood by. Gyatso was being a bit fussy for having to hold his cousin's hand. Katara rolled her eyes, and Suki laughed, "No, you have a baby sister."
Choirs of 'aww' came from the boys.
"Girls are weird. She's going to want to play with dolls." Kaskae complained.
"He surely is your brother's boy." A tired Suki commented.
Sighing, Katara stood up to shoo away the boys. Screams filled the hut as the older boys started wrestling, and the younger followed their moves. The brothers rolled outside, while Gyatso decided that rolling out of the doorway onto the ground by himself was much better than someone landing on him. He got up, started to run after to older boys and fell again, laughing the entire time. The two year old looked too much like his father.
"Yes, but no one forced you to marry him. I had no choice but to be his sister." The waterbender retorted while watching the boys.
Her comment caused both women to frown. No one could figure out how Appa went down in the desert, or cause them to disappear. Some of the elders from the surrounding village suggested that they must have angered a spirit.
But that was in the past. Katara had one boy and one coming in a few months. Worrying about spirits wasn't her job at the moment.
"Katara," Suki spoke after sometime, causing the waterbender to jump, "Are you okay?"
The master bender paused for a moment, "Yeah, I'm fine; just thinking."
She recomposed herself, "What were you and Sokka thinking about naming her?"
"Well, if she was another boy, she'd be called Sokka Jr.," both laughed, "but I think I'm going to name her Kali because there's no moon for tonight."
Katara smiled as she turned back to the doorway. Things were going to be ok; for the time being.
