I remember it as clear day when unalaq and avatar korra invaded the southern water tribe. From that day onward i could never forgive what the avatar did to us and how our chief stude by and did nothing, while the northern water tribe soldiers did whatever they wanted on our land, if i were the avatar i would have stopped unalaq even, if i had to kill him. Evan though the avatar defeat unalaq it does not erase what she did to her own people, well that ends today's journal entry until next. He signs his name Neki and closes the journal that he's been writing in.
"Neki breakfast is ready!" my mother shouted to me.
"Coming mother!" I shouted to her as i put my journal back in my drawer.
I head down stairs as fast as i could to eat my breakfast, that my mother prepared for me and i take a seat at the dinner table as my mother place my plate down in front of me.
"So, are you excited" She asked me.
"For?" I asked her as i took a bite of some my breakfast.
"Don't you remember your new job is today?" She replies back to me.
"Wait, thats today?" I say as i quickly finish my food.
"Well, then i better get going before im late for work." I say as i get up from the table.
"I'll see later mother" I say as i kiss her on the check.
"Wait!" She says to me in a hurry. "Remember be safe out there." She says to me.
"Don't worry i am a waterbender, people will think twice before messing with me" I say with excitement.
She smile at me as a sign reassurance. I shut the door behind me and head to the docks for my first day working as a fishermen. When i get to the dock i see a massive dock with lots of boats
"Wow what a beautiful dock" I say out loud.
"It sure is isn't" a person says to me.
I jump back a bit as a man with a long beard is standing beside me stroking his grey beard, as i look at the man i can see this man is significantly shorter than me..
"Hello my name is Neki. Who are you?" I say as i stick my hand out in front of him. He looks at me up and down as if he is disappointed how i look.
"I know exactly who you are Neki" He says to me as he pushes my hand down. "You are the new fishermen to board my boat." As he says that he pulls out a clipboard. "From what it says here you're a waterbender correct?" He says to me.
"Yes sir!" I shout to him.
"That's good it's always good to have a waterbender as a fishermen to catch more fish." He says to me.
"Um...sir may i ask what your name is since i didn't get?" i say to him nervously.
"Oh, my name is captain tin Lu Xun" He says to me.
"Well, now that we have introductions out of the way let's head to the boat and head out to sea." He says to me.
"You lead the way." I say to him.
As i follow him he leads me to this giant boat, as i look at it i can start to feel like i love this new job of mine.
"What are you doing standing at that piece junk when the real beauty is over is over here" He says as he as gives the boat a kiss.
The moment i see the small beat up boat i start to rethink my career choice.
"Wait we're getting in this boat not that one?" I say as i point at the ship.
"Yep." He says to me. "What are you waiting get in and meet the crew." He says to me as he jumps into the boat.
"Crew!?" I say shockingly. "You didn't say anything about a crew." I say as i enter the boat
As i walk to the deck of the deck i see captain Lu Xun, a somewhat muscular man, a short skinny kid about my age, and a girl with long brown hair. She looks like the most beautiful girl i have ever seen. She looks to be about the same age as me.
"Neki let me introduce you to my children." He says to me."this one right next to me is the oldest out of my sons and his name is Sin Xun and he is a water bender just like you.." He says as he moves to his next son. "Next is my youngest son and his name is Lun Xun and he is not a bender at all." He says as he moves to his daughter " this is my only daughter and her name is Kata Xun and she is also a non bender and she just turn 17 yesterday." He says to me.
"17 thats the same age as me" I say as she blushes at me.
"Well, now that you have meet my children let's head out to sea before it turns night." He says to me. " Lun pull up the anchor out of the water and Neki and Sin get on both sides of the ship and create a wave under the boat to get the boat moving and Kata release the sails" He says to all of us.
"Yes sir!" We all said.
We all steadily do what we are supposed to do. After an hour at sea we stop the ship and release the anchor.
"I think we're are far enough away from the dock now " Lu said to us "Neki and Sin come with me everyone else wait for further orders." He says as he brings us to a barrel. "Sin i need you to teach Neki how to catch fish with his waterbending do you think you can do that?" He says to him.
"Yes sir!" He says back to him.
"Good i be at the top deck, if you need anything" He says to us.
"Well, then Neki let's get to work, but first open up that barrel for me." He says to me. I open the barrel and see him get into a waterbender stance.
"First you must stare at the water and sense the fish inside of the water and then you must pull the water towards you." As he says this a fish begins to come out of the water and he places it into the barrel. "You think you can do that Neki?" He says to me.
"Yeah i can do that." I say as i get into the same waterbending stance as him and as i stare at the fish in the water. I can sense the fish and i try to pull the fish out and end up splashing water in my face. Sin puts his hand on my shoulder.
"Don't worry i didn't get on my first try either, but after a while you'll get it" He says to me.
"Yeah you're right i just have to keep trying." i say to him
"Well, it looks like you can handle this on your own I'll be over there catching fish, so keep on practicing ok?" He says to me .
"Ok I'll keep trying." As i say that he walks over to the other side of the deck. After 20 minutes of failing to catch a fish i decide this is the last time I'm going to try or I'm giving up. As soon as i say that i see a black looking fish in the water i decide this is the fish i am going to fish i am going to catch, so i get into my stance and i close my eyes and i become one with the water. Once i open my eyes i can see the coming out of the water. I look at the fish and the longer i look at the fish the less it looks like a fish. I start to stare at it and a red light appears out out of it with symbols starting to form on it. I get scared and the water buble it was in breaks apart and he drops to the ground. After a second i pick it up and take it to under the deck and place him on a table under the deck. As i do that it wakes up and it goes around the room almost as if its lost.
"Um… Who or what are you" as i say that it moves close to my face, faster that i have to blink.
"That's something i should be asking you. " He says in a sinister way
"Um... Are you a spirit" I ask it.
"Hahaha" He says as he backs away a little bit. "After tens of thousands of years in this world the day has finally come when a mortal has referred to me as a loley spirit." He says to himself. "No mortal i am Vaatu the spirit of darkness at least that's what Raava the spirit of peace and light calls me, but i like to call myself the spirit of balance because there always as to be a little bit of darkness in the world to keep the world from being out of balance." He says to me "now mortal where am i?" He says as he forms a blade out of his tail and places it under my throat.
