"Hey Tonrah Are you ready for the pro bending match tonight" Haru asked as he passed by me "You know I am". I said back to him as I walked to my history class. My names Tonrah I live here in republic city with my mother and father. My fathers an earthbender while my mother is an airbender. Luckily I got the Earth bending side since Ive always liked earth bending with the greats like Toph and Bolin to look up to. My family is on the poor side of things but it doesnt matter I still love my life. The past few years have been a very crazy. A few years ago we thought, after 11 years of searching we finally found the next avatar. It was a spoiled rich kid named Gao. It took a whole year to figure out the parents were faking the whole thing and he was just a non bender, so the search continues.
I sat down in my chair and got out my note pad and began listening to my history teacher "As you know class yesterday we finished talking about the hundred year war and how Avatar Aang founded this great city Republic City" She said with a emphasis on the word great. "Now we are going to begin with the life and feats of Avatar Korra". I sat their enthralled with the story of how she took down the Equalists, stopped the force of all evil, and stopped a spirit weapon with her own two hands. I really looked up to Avatar Korra she was the most brave and selfless person Ive ever seen. I just wish I was born before she passed away 12 years ago.
My teacher began talking about the ten year war. "As you know after Avatar Korra, Mako, and Bolin's battle with the red lotus most of the team was killed or defeated by Korra and her team. But what they didnt know then was that the lava bender Gazan survived" She said "Gazan quickly cooled the lava which protected him from the falling rocks and soon escaped. As you know after Kuvira was defeated her trinnacle ideals began making the red lotus ideals sound more appropriate. More and more joined before they made their first move".
"Avatar Korra, several years prior, helped Prince Wu found the new Earth Republic. And several years after it was founded it elected it first president. Gazan and his team targeted the president and assassinated him" she explained. "For ten more years the red lotus committed many acts of terror around the world. This all led up to Avatar Korra and her team battling Gazan and the red lotus. When Korra lunged at Gazan he knocked her out with a rock and began encircling her with lava. When he as about to kill her Mako quickly jumped for her and threw her out of the lava before she could be killed. Unfortunately Mako died while sacrificing himself to save the avatar. Avatar Korra after seeing what happened went into the avatar state and destroyed the entire red lotus army including Gazan" She said. "13 years after the 10 years war ended Avatar Korra passed away at 64. I know that sounds very young but keep in mind she went through alot in her time" She finished just has the bell rang.
Everyone packed up and went outside of the school to hang out before we left to go home. I found Haru sitting on the steps "Hey Haru. So who do you want to win tonight the Platypus bears or the Wolf Bats" I asked him but before he could answer I heard a kid screaming. I ran over and saw a bully punching on a freshman "Hey get off of him" I yelled at him but he continued "I said get off" I pushed him hard but next thing I know I see him go tumbling down the side walk before he stops and looks up at me in shock. Everyone knows im an Earth bender so they stare in awe and in shock "He just airbended, isnt he an earth bender" I heard tiny whispers slowly moving throughout the crowds
The principal, who saw the whole thing quickly stepped in and put his hand on my shoulder. I snapped out of my total shock and disbelief "Lets go son now" I quickly followed after him and we went into his office and he called two people my parents and the white lotus.
I sat there with my head in my hands not knowing what just happened. I looked up to see my mom, who was wearing her traditional airbender robes. Even thought my mom only worked at a flower shop she still loved showing her roots by wearing the robes. I saw my father rush in behind her in his work clothes. He clearly had to skip work and rush here. My mom rushed to my side and kneeled down next to me. I could clearly see the worry on their faces. "Whats wrong honey what happened" My mom asks and turns to the principal "What did he do" She asked him "Well he stopped a bully from pushing a kid around then he pushed the bully down but...he used airbending" I saw the color drain from their faces and I could see the disbelief so I showed them. I let out a small gust of wind and I saw my mom almost faint.
The principal explained he had called the white lotus and they were on their here now. I sat in between my parents and an hour later three people walk into the room. I sit up and see Asami, Jinora, and Hiro walk into the room. Hiro was Avatar Korra's and Asamis son. After Korra had help found the Earth Republic she and asami met with the new Earth republic president and while they strolled through Ba Sing Se they found a six year old earth bending boy who was abandoned with no name. They took the boy in and named him Hiroshi named after Asamis father who passed away in the battle for Republic City.
My mother and father stood up and my father spoke first. "Its an honor to meet you Mr. Sato, Jinora and Hiroshi" Asami smiled "No no its our honor to finally meet you. Its been a while and a rough couple of years but Im hoping this one is real" I saw her turn to me "Is it real Tonrah are you the Avatar?" she asked me "Um y-yes I think I am". I said and then began showing her how I can airbend and earth bend. Jinora looked to Asami and smiled "Hes the one".
