Title: Her Legacy
Hetalia & Avatar:The Last Airbender crossover
Summary: Before her disappearance; Native America left her people's hidden legacy to her two children. Now with the world being tossed into imbalance Canada and America must reveal one of their greatest secrets. The Art of Elemental Bending.
Prologue
It was her legacy. Their legacy. The hidden secret of her tribes across the continents. It was how they survived the harshness of Mother Nature without relying on trade from the Outside World.
The Water Benders created their homes in the ice and out of ice; fished in the treacherous waters surrounding their remote villages; created a cloud of heavy mist to cover their villages when danger was near; and coaxed rain from the clouds in times of drought.
The Earth Benders flattened the lands just enough for their crops; nourished the parched soil; created barriers out of hard-packed earth around the villages for protection; and talked to Nature, thus knowing the secret for the best crops.
The Air Benders pushed the much needed rain clouds to the fields; carried messages to the other tribes on their cyclones of wind; transported their allies to safe destinations when war raged near; and held spread peace amongst their allies.
The Fire Benders brought warmth to their friends when the cold became too much to bear; brought light to the darkness; melted holes in the thick layer of ice coating the lakes for fishing in the winter; and were courageous and brave at heart. True soldiers.
Yes, these four factions lived in Harmony with one another for centuries on end without conflict. Hidden from the outside by her own power.
It was then she started to teach this skill to her two children who would one day take her place. She was aware that Aztec and several of her other siblings to the South had tried to teach their children, but were destroyed by the invaders from the west before they could. Soon their children forgot about their history under their new leaders.
So, now, here she stood with proud eyes as she watched her sons diligently practice alongside her people this forgotten art, so they could be able to carry on her legacy.
While they could use all four forms, they both had two where they had great strength in.
Kanata was a natural at Water, and yet could also use Fire without fear. He was often found near rivers practicing his Art, playing on the ice in winter, and swimming with the fish in the lakes at spring.
Maska's natural gifts were in Air and Earth. There wasn't a time he didn't enjoy riding on a sphere of air, hovering over the fields and talking to various animals in the nearby woods. He could tame almost any animal and could also be found playing a tune for them on his wooden flute.
Then one day, men from across the Eastern waters started to come to her lands. She soon began to feel weak and knew her end was near. After a few days of watching more and more come she called her sons to bid them farewell, and to make them promise never to show their legacy or teach the strangers how to bend the elements.
For you see, several centuries ago, when Pangaea first broke apart, there were the elemental nations, the source of bending and where the Ancient Tribes first began. A time when all people; young and old, big and small, white and black were able to use the power of the elements. The nations were made up of tribes who each practiced one sole element.
But then, one tribe disturbed the delicate balance by destroying a tribe to their south, and creating a disturbance so fierce, that the land broke again, and the Art of Bending was lost to but a select few who later on became her tribes.
So with her last words and a kiss Native America disappeared, leaving Kanata and Maska alone to protect the ancient legacy.
