God of War
Prologue
In the beginning there were four and the four lived peacefully each guarding their own element. One of wind, one of fire, one of water, and one of earth. But then they wanted a leader, one to rule and guide them all. That was the day the Avatar was made. He governed all four of the elements and mastered them all and for many years they lived in peace while the Avatar guided their actions. Then the Avatar died and there was chaos. The four elements remembered how good the Avatar was and they recreated him, having a new avatar reincarnate at the death of the previous until the end of time.
It was as they were walking out of the theater. They where irritated for the show had mocked them all. They were quiet and reserved, trying not to attract attention, but the guards saw them.
"Why are you out past curfew?" the soldier said angrily.
"We were watching the play," one of them mumbled quietly.
"Where do your parents live?" one of the soldiers asked.
They were silent until the older teenager said, "Up on the eastern hill."
"Wait a minute," one of the guards said puzzling, "I know that face. Arrest them!" He exclaimed. "It's the traitor Zuko and the Avatar."
There was a sudden skirmish are a bunch of bending but then one of the Fire nation soldiers yelled, "Stop!" He was holding one of the boys by the collar with a knife across his neck.
"Come with me now!"
The children sensing their defeat allowed themselves to be bound and walked through the streets. Then they stopped, they had arrived at the ship. They were each put in their own cell guarded by two soldiers. When the last girl was securely locked up they began to set sail for the fire nation capital.
The soldiers guarding Zuko heard it first. A light thump followed by pitter patter as something scurried about. They didn't think much passing it off as some sort of rodent. They were wrong. The knife seemed to appear and disappear in an instant as it slit the one guard's throat. He swayed and then collapsed, dying a few moments later. The other guard stared in surprise, dumbstruck, before he met the same fate. Zuko saw the door open and an object flash by his eyes before he recognized the two slain guards.
Katara ran outside of her prison cell as soon as the door opened. She stopped and gasped when she saw the mess of blood on the floor. She then turned to the two dead men and examined them. They were both definitely stabbed; there was no doubt about it. She wondered what had happened. It was confusing so she decided to sneak off to the deck to see what was going on. When she set off she quickly encountered Sokka who also spoke of the slain soldiers. They both set off to the deck when they encountered Suki, Zuko, Toph, and finally Aang, all mentioning something about the death of their guards and their release.
When they came out onto the deck they saw a gruesome scene. There were bodies littering the place with their blood spilled across the floor. There were stab and hack marks in all of them but no trace of the killer. Katara checked all of the bodies to see if anyone could tell them what had happened here. As she kneeled down to check the last body, the man gasped saying, "It's the Assassin. He has come to kill us all. The Final arbiter decides who lives and dies. He has no mercy there is no hope!"
"No hope for you that is."
They all turned to the shadows, startled at the newcomer. As the man stepped from the shadows he revealed himself dressed in a black cloak with a hood. He had a belt carrying a sword. The man also had a knife in his hand. As he walked towards them he threw the knife. Katara yelped as she tried to dodge the incoming blade. The blade however was not meant for Katara but for the fire nation soldier and it found its mark ending the man's days. The cloaked man walked over and he took out a flask and poured water over his hands rinsing off the blood. He then took off his hood. Then Sokka, Suki and Katara gasped at the face revealed to them as Zuko exclaimed in surprise, "You?!"
"Yes," the young teenager smiled, "Me."
