Hello people of… Wherever you happen to be reading this from right now! I'm your host, 12kirby12 and this is an Avatar story!

Wow, that was cheesy. Anyways, I, 12kirby12, and Dare2dream00, otherwise known as D2D, are currently co-writing an Avatar story! –waits for wild cheering-

Thank you, thank you. Well, that's enough from me. Adele belongs to D2D. Rin belongs to yours truly. This story will be split in half. D2D writes one half, I write the other. Any questions? No? Then let's get on with the show!

Adele was practicing her waterbending in the warm spring day as the sun reached it's peak in the sky.

Someday, I'm going to get out of the North Pole. she thought to herself. Go on an adventure, but this stupid war is holding me back. She sighed as she manipulated the water to go back into the canal. Adele walked home as she pulled her dark brown hair into a braid.

Suddenly she was splashed by water. She looked around for the culprit and found a grinning girl of about six running off toward their home.

"KATEL!" Adele yelled at her younger sister, but she wasn't really mad, just kind of annoyed. Katel squealed with laughter as she out ran her big sister.

"You can't catch me Adele!" Katel teased. A sly smile found its way to Adele's face as she morphed a wall of ice to form in front of Katel.

"Can too!" Adele grinned as she swung her little sister and twirled her around.

"No fair Addy!" Katel giggled as Adele set her on her shoulders and ran home.

Adele's mother smiled at their too daughters as they sat down for lunch. Her father was off, helping the war effort with the other men of the village.

"Mom," Adele said after a silence. "I want to see the world." She said quickly.

"Adele, you know it's too dangerous for a girl your age-" Her mom started.

"Mom I'm sixteen, I'm a great Waterbender and you know it!" Adele argued.

"That doesn't make a difference, I don't want you to go off on your own."

"But I'll make friends, I want to go on an adventure, I can't do that here." Her mother sighed and considered it.

"I suppose I can't stop you..." She decided after minutes. "And you can take care of yourself. But I expect you to write every week."

"Thank you mom!" Adele giggled, giving her a kiss on the cheek before going into her room and backing some meat, a map and some blankets in her satchel. She came back not a minute later.

"W-wait, you're leaving now?" her mom asked.

"Why not? The sooner the better." Adele shrugged, then 'oofed' slightly as Katel tackled her.

"Please don't go Adele!" She whimpered. "Daddy already left and who's gonna play with me!" Adele sighed and bent down to meet her sister's tearing eye level.

"I got to Katy." Adele said gently, "and I have something that I want you to keep safe for me until I come back alright?"

Katel sniffled and nodded. Adele handed her sister her most prized possession. Her small carved seal that her father carved and gave to her before he left.

"This is your seal, you told me never to touch it." Katel whispered, clutching it to her heart.

"Now I'm telling you to keep it safe for me. Okay?" Adele asked with a smile. A grin dawned the six year old's face as she hugged her.

"Okay!" She said. Adele then hugged her mom.

"Be safe dear." She said.

"I will mom," Adele assured.

Then she started off.

Adventure here I come.

Flashback: about a month or so after Zuko's banishment

Rin walked down the hall to his Master's study. He knocked and waited for permission to enter.
"Fire Lord Ozai." he said, walking into the study and standing beside the aforementioned Fire Lord. "We have intelligence whispers that there is a conspiracy against you. Ever since you banished your son last month, there have been rumors to overthrow you." he said.
"Yes, I know. In fact, the snake behind them may very well be standing beside me now. You are about Zuko's age, are you not? Born within a month of each other, if I am not mistaken." the Fire Lord said, looking at Rin.
"Yes, my lord, but I am not sure what that has to do with-"
Ozai cut him off. "You are the traitor, Rin." he said coldly. "I have proof. As punishment for your treachery, you are hereby banished from the Fire Nation. Be lucky that is all you get. Now, go. Get out of my sight and away from my Kingdom. Far away."
