Prologue
The rumble of the carriage wheels stopping woke her. E'tali looked through the window, a clear view of the Palace greeted her. "Thank you" She pressed 3 coins into his palm and made her way up the stairs and into the palace. She snuck along stealthily, avoiding notice until she reached her destination. According to the blueprints she had acquired, the avatar trained here. The sounds of grunting and the scrape of moving earth confirmed her suspicions. She quickly vaulted in and hid behind a pillar, a heavily muscled man fought a young boy no older than her. He was good, that much was clear, the King sat in his throne and observed. The man at his right… the boy's father, his face held no emotion.
She stepped forward and made her way to the center of the room, guards ran to her in an attempt to apprehend her. "Halt. I have something to say." The Earth King's eyes narrowed in curiosity. Holding up his hand, he spoke, "Let the girl speak." The boy and the man stared at her waiting. E'tali raised her hands and began to bend, the earth bent to her will, condensing into a smooth orb and it hovered above her hand. She called to the ancient lives that resided within her and begged them to surface. The glowing eyes of the Avatar State took on her own, with ease she took the fire and water around her, taming it as a master would an animal. She pulled the air from the room and began a breeze so forceful that it ripped the banners from their places.
The Avatar's energy expelled, her eyes faded and the elements fell to the floor, drenching her in water. The orb rolled to the feet of the boy and he stared at it with disdain. "I am the Avatar." Four men stepped forward, their robes reflected each nation, Her eyes fixed on them. "We are the monks that predicted the birth of the next avatar, we believed.." Their eyes moved towards the boy's father. "That his child would be the next avatar." E'tali clenched her hands, hoping it would steady her. "He is my father." Realization flashed on his face, then it was gone. The monks turned back to her, "How can that be possible, his wife died giving birth to Rekin whom we believed to be the avatar." "Lord Tesan… My father, had an affair with a young woman from the lower ring. I am the product, as I was conceived first, I am the next avatar. My mother died recently and told me to find you all and explain this. I have the note here and several letters from that man" She points at Lord Tesan, "That will validate my story."
The monks take them and begin to read, The King stands and the room falls silent. "I knew your predecessor, Avatar Korra. She was the dear friend of my bodyguard Mako." At that name my body froze, a feeling of friendship arrises within me. Some friendships are strong enough to transcend lifetimes. "He will be delighted to meet you as will the others." E'tali pauses, "Others?" The Earth King continues, "While the original friends of Avatar Aang are dead, their descendants remain and Mako's brother Bolin will be eager to see you. This man," He flicks his hand to the heavily muscled man from before, "Is the son of Opal, granddaughter of Toph Beifong and Bolin. He's been assisting in Rekin in Avatar training, he shall now assist you." The man bows, "I am Laar." She bows in return, "A pleasure to meet you."
"Avatar E'tali, changes will have to be made in order to transition you into the role of avatar, arrangements have been made." E'tali shrugs, "Understood." She bows from the hips and presses her palms together, "It will be an honor to train with you." The monks circle around her, "It is an honor to meet you Avatar E'tali." She straightens, and smiles.
I know this was short but its the prologue, the chapters will be longer. Tell me, what type of Avatar do you think E'tali will be? I hope you enjoyed. Stay tuned for some fiyahh! (Fire!)
