A New Day: pt. 1 A Tokka Reincarnation Fic
Set up: This occurs 120 years after the end of the series. All the characters have been re-incarnated and the Water Tribe Sages are about to announce who the new Avatar is. This is a follow up to "Floating" which was a follow up to "Ten Seconds" thus forming a Triptych of sorts. Sokka who died in "Ten Seconds" has already been re-born once lived a full life and has died a second time before this story begins. The focus is on Sokka and Toph, with Katara, and Aang thrown in, but some of the other characters from the series will have brief cameos. I have thrown a couple of twists in but they will be pretty obvious. Hope you enjoy it. This is non Korra Compliant.
Shu was sitting in a too small chair in his manager/agent/business manager/father's office in Gaoling. He was not particularly interested in what the "Old Man" had to say but 18 years of conditioning kicked in and he listened anyway.
"I tell you kid" his father was saying "this is the time. We all know that the new Avatar was born 16 years ago in one of the Water Tribes and the rumors say they are going to announce his name on the winter solstice. This is your big break, if we are there and you can become his earthbending teacher it will put you over the top. You don't actually have to teach him anything. We can get some other poor schlub to do the actual grunt work, but if you are named as his teacher that will put us up there with Toph. Look what it did for her, 'course she didn't really make use of it like she should have, but she was known as the greatest bender of her time. You already are the greatest earthbender alive today. I mean four years undefeated champion of Earth Rumble gives you that, but being the new Avatar's earthbending sifu will put us in the undisputed top spot and we can ask whatever we want for personal appearances and the Rumble purses will jump to the next level for us."
"The Northern Water Tribe Sages are starting to disappear." Shu's father said with a wink. "Traveling incognito so it has to be someone in the Southern Tribe. Everyone is going to be there. All the top earthbenders, firebenders, airbenders, big choice there" the "Old man" said with a nasty chuckle, "and he probably already has a waterbending master. We have to be there, to be seen, if nothing else. You've got to sell yourself to him, if he has any sense he'll snap you up, but we have to make sure he does."
Shu knew his dad was right. His dad had been right all of teenager's life. He had made Shu the earthbender he was today. His father had beaten it into him when he was just a kid that Shu was going to be the best, that nothing could stop him, it only required hard work and training, and taking advantage of every opportunity and every weakness of his opponents.
"Metalbending!" Shu's father continued, "You've got to get that kid! If we could metal bend the Avatar would have to make you his sifu. Then we could write our own ticket."
The "Old Man" had been pacing up and down the office the whole time he was speaking, and now he walked behind Shu and slapped him on the back of his head.
"You big lummox, she invented metal bending when she was twelve, and you still can't do it! You are a real disappointment, you know that!"
Shu knew who she was. All his life there had only been one she, one her, Toph Bei Fong, the Blind Bandit. His father had held her over Shu's head since before he could remember. The large teenager decided that the great tragedy of his life was that he was born the year she had died. He would never be able to face her in combat and prove how much better he was then she was.
"Dad" wasn't finished yet, so Shu sat there and listened to the rest of the plan.
"I've got passage all lined up for us on a ship leaving tomorrow for the South Pole. Everything we will need will be onboard waiting for us. I've got the whole group together and they will be with us the whole way, but it is going to be up to you to close the deal with the new Avatar. Do you think you can get off your lazy butt and do that?"
The "Old Man" slapped him on the head again for emphasis.
Shu stood ten stories up, on the balcony of his suite of rooms in the city of the Southern Water Tribe. The bell hops were bringing in his luggage and distributing it around the rooms. At least he was by himself. He had been able to talk his father out of coming down with him, telling the "Old Man" that if Shu was alone he would stand out from all the other benders who would have large entourages with them. Plus the savings in transportation and lodging helped quite a bit. His Dad was a cheapskate on top of everything else.
The large earthbender was glad to be on solid ground again, well solid ice at least. The sea voyage had been a miserable experience, he was sick the entire time. There was something about being out of touch with the earth that just made him uncomfortable, disconnected, and floating. Shu hated the feeling. He had changed his reservations and was going to be taking an airship back. He was not sure it would be any more comfortable but at least it would be a faster trip. Even now that he was off the ship he still felt loose, out of touch with the world, standing on ice was not the same as standing on good solid earth. Also he had to contend with these giant shoes, boots or whatever they called them that he had to wear. Like most earthbenders he preferred to be barefoot but in this place that was a sure way to lose your feet to frostbite. The hotel had, "at great expense, sir" imported a ship load of earth and rocks and had spread them to cover the floor of the lobby and lounge. Apparently he was not the only earthbender to feel out of place in a world of snow and ice floating on a great sea.
Shu looked out over the white expanse to distract himself from the discomfort and the cold. He was freezing out here and the room wasn't any better. How could it be when the entire thing was made of ice. His balcony looked out over the walls of the city at the great wasteland of the polar ice cap. About two or three leagues beyond the walls he saw a small patch of dark color on the ice. When he looked more carefully he realized that it was a settlement or small village out on the ice near the shore. It consisted mostly of small domed white buildings. They were so small that huts would be a better word to describe them. The color had been a few tents scattered throughout the "Village". Tents! How could people live in tents in this climate? Shu thought to himself These Water Tribe people must all be crazy.
The Concierge came up to the earthbender to inquire if there would be anything else they could do for him. As Shu dug some coins from his purse for the staff he commented,
"I really should come back here in the summer when it is warmer".
The Concierge gave a deprecating smile and replied,
"Actually sir, this is our summer and a rather warm one too. It seems that each year the summers are longer and warmer and the winters shorter but colder then the last."
"This is summer?" Shu asked.
"Yes sir," the Concierge responded, "In the North it is winter but in the South it is summer. We may be at the bottom of the world, but we are still able to turn the seasons on their heads as it were."
The large teen gave the hotel man a weak smile to acknowledge the weaker joke and handed him the coins. The Concierge bowed his head and turned to leave, signaling his party of bell hops to exit the suite. Shu stopped him with,
"Oh one last thing, what is that village out on the ice over there?" and he pointed to the snow houses and tents he had seen earlier.
The Concierge came up to the railing of the balcony and looked out to the village.
"Oh that", he began, "Those we call the 'Old Ones', very quaint, they are just a few crackpots that live in the old ways. They build temporary shelters of snow, or use tents. They travel across the ice with the seasons, hunting and fishing using the old tools and weapons. Very strange people really, I don't know how they can live like that but they are able to survive somehow."
Shu thanked the Concierge for the information and watched as he left the room. The earthbender looked out over the ice cap again, intrigued by these "Old Ones". He decided he would visit the village. It would be something to do while he waited for the solstice and the announcement of the new Avatar.
Shu watched as his breath became fog as it left his mouth. The hike out to the village had not been too bad, at least it had warmed him up a little. The village was really quite small, only a few families, mostly young children running around. They seemed to be teasing a young woman?, girl? It was hard to tell with all the heavy clothes the Water Tribe girls wore just how old they were after they reached a certain height. She had a staff that she was leaning on and she seemed to be the butt of some kind of game the little children, and some not so little, where playing.
Blue and white not much of a palette, Shu reflected. He liked bright colors, and lots of them. Since he was little the large teen had always liked color and movement. This white landscape with blue clad people seemed desolate and blank to him. Out of the corner of his eye he saw some green and dark red and immediately turned to see what it was. He saw a group of five or six people mostly in green Earth Kingdom heavy clothes but it looked like a Fire Nation outfit was in amongst them. He was not sure but in the lead it looked like "The Stone Monkey", his main contender for the next Earth Rumble. Shu had fought him in the past. They had a great rivalry and the "Monkey" was not one to stick to the rules when he wanted to win.
Someone in the distant group noticed that Shu had spotted them, and the group began to move quickly behind a ridge of ice at the outskirts of the village. The large earthbender began to run after them, trying to keep an eye on where they went. He wanted to be sure that it was the "Monkey" in the lead and if it was, Shu was going to confront him. As he ran across the center of the village he hit something soft and heard a loud "ooof", he spared a quick look to see what it was and saw the girl with the staff splayed out on her back in the snow.
Shu turned back to find the "Monkey" group but they were out of sight and he had no idea where they had gone. He went back to the young woman, to help her up. The children, who had been teasing her before, seemed to be taking great delight in her discomfort, and were laughing and pointing at her. They moved away as he approached but they kept up their whispered remarks and pointing.
Shu approached her as she sat up in the snow. He bent down and as he offered her a hand up he told her,
"You might want to look where you are going in the future."
The girl rudely ignored his hand and began patting the snow around her as she replied,
"I'll have to remember that."
Shu was starting to get more than a little irritated with this teenager. She runs into him, ignores his help and she won't even look at him. She never once looked up, keeping her head down and a little to the side as she continued to pat the snow in ever increasing circles around her.
The large teen took his hand back and straightened up but continued to stand in front of her. Because of the hood on her parka, Shu still had not seen her face, but he could imagine what she must look like with this kind of attitude. All scrunched up and prissy looking to be sure. He heard her sigh, then saw her literally throw up her hands and ask,
"Do you see my wand?" She still had not looked at him.
"Your what?" Shu asked
"My wand", she answered, then went on, "my staff, my stick,"
Then her voice changed to that of a theatrical old lady,
"My comfort in my old age"
Then it changed again to the voice of a stereotypical witch,
"My wand of great power." Which she ended with a nasty cackle of a laugh.
The water tribe teen then turned her body around towards the children and in her witch voice called out,
"And when I get it, it will be the worse for all of you, my pretties" which ended in an even louder and more malicious cackle.
Much to Shu's surprise the children suddenly went still and looked really scared and then ran off leaving the two of them alone. These people are crazy. He told himself. He then spotted the girl's staff lying off to the side, outside of her reach. He stepped over and picked it up and offered it to her, but she once again ignored him. She continued to pat the snow all around her.
She is the rudest person I have ever met Shu commented to himself, finally saying,
"Here!".
Her reaction was not what he had expected. In a quizzical voice she asked,
"There, everywhere? Is this some sort of game you play with everyone you run into?"
"Your staff! Or wand or whatever you call it." Shu said still holding it out to her.
"Oh.. Thanks" The young girl sounded sincerely grateful as she turned towards him and reached out with both hands, but the way she held her hands it was obvious that she expected him to place the staff in them for her, and she still had not looked up at him.
Since Shu was irritated he was careful to place the staff gently in her hands, but he did not let go of it. They both held it for a moment, both applying steady pressure. He saw the tension building in her. He said,
"Hang on!"
And pulling on the staff, lifted her up out of the snow. He misjudged her weight, all those bulky Water Tribe clothes, and she flew up onto her feet.
"Weee!, well that was fun!" she cried out as she landed on her feet.
The girl's hood had fallen back, and now that she was standing in front of him, Shu could finally see her face. She was actually very pretty with long dark brown hair pulled into a braid down her back and with the traditional hair loops in the front. She had the dark skin of the Water Tribe, a pretty face with a strong chin, but the most striking thing were her eyes. She had large, dark, ocean blue eyes but there seemed to be a film or fog over them muting their striking color.
She was still not looking at him, seeming to be staring at his left shoulder. He suddenly realized that she might not be able to see, that she was not ignoring him but that she could not see him. He suddenly felt very guilty for the irritation he had felt towards her. Embarrassed he said,
"I'm sorry…"
Her face went through a quick succession of expressions, starting with surprise, then to question, to understanding, to accusation. Her right hand came off the staff and pointed to herself as she asked,
"You mean you're sorry I'm blind?" then the finger turned towards his chest as she continued "So…. It's all your fault! I should have know, my mother always told me that when she was pregnant with me she saw this impossibly ugly earthbender and the sight was so horrible that she knew that her baby would be blind from birth! So that wasn't enough for you, after blinding me in the womb, you have come here in person to torment me by knocking me down in the snow. Have you no shame!"
Shu let go of the staff as if it were on fire and took a step back, raising his hands to deny the accusation. He defended himself with,
"I've never been here before, besides your only fourteen or fifteen, I would only be three or four when she would have seen me."
"Fourteen, but you could have been an extremely ugly baby."
"My mom said I was very cute as a baby." Shu said realizing that this was some sort of game she was playing with him.
"Mom's always lie about their kids."
"But I am so handsome now I had to be adorable back then." He replied, feeling a little smug with what he thought was an excellent repost.
"Well I am the most beautiful girl in the world so no matter how adorable you were, you would still have been extremely ugly compared to me."
"How do you know that you're the most beautiful girl in the world?"
"I've never seen anyone prettier than I am, and until I do, I have to assume that I am the most beautiful girl in the world."
"Your logic is unassailable." Shu conceded. "I guess it is all my fault".
"I am glad you admit it" she said as she started to brush the snow off of her back.
"Here let me help you" Shu stepped up and began to use his mittened hand to brush the snow off of her. In doing so he discovered that there were some nice curves under all that clothing.
"Katara? Are you alright?" Shu heard a girl call out.
He stopped what he was doing and looked up guiltily as he saw another teenage girl run up to the two of them. So… her name is Katara, he told himself, and he stored the information away for later use. He was starting to like this crazy girl.
Shu had spent all of his life training, and had never had a friend, let alone a girlfriend. The only girls that he knew were the girls that competed in the tournaments and the ones that hung around the competitors and he had never been very comfortable around any of them. This Katara was not impressed by who he was, she was silly and crazy, but she gave as good as she got and she was fun, not to mention that by her own admission she was the most beautiful girl in the world, and in his own opinion she was very pretty.
The girl that had called out ran up and took Katara's arm, asking,
"Is everything ok?"
She then gave a sharp look at Shu and asked, "is this big lug bothering you?"
Shu put on the most innocent face he had in his repertoire and held up his hands in surrender.
Katara turned from him to her friend, he noticed that even when she turned her attention towards someone she was always "looking" off to the side at a slight downward angle.
"Hama," The snow covered teen said. "This is the earthbender that scared my mother and struck me blind in the womb. He even admitted it to me."
Hama gave Katara an odd look then turned sharply back to Shu.
"So, you're the one responsible. I should have known just from your beady look." Then speaking out of the side of her mouth she asked Katara "How do you know he's and earthbender?"
"You can smell them" Katara answered, also out of the side of her mouth. "Don't show fear, they can sense it and will attack. Just smile and look confident."
The two girls then turned two over enthusiastic smiles in Shu's direction, Hama making eye contact and Katara more towards his left shoulder. Shu smiled back. He noticed that Hama was also young, maybe a few years older than Katara. She had black hair with the same loopies in the front. Hama had lovely clear grey eyes.
"Talk to him" Hama nudged her friend "It may have a soothing effect."
"Well my name is Katara" she said speaking as if to a dangerous animal, "just like every other girl born in the South for the last one hundred and twenty years. "
Hama turned to her and said in a hurt tone "Not every girl".
"True" Katara responded "some, well one, is named after another of the great heroes of the war".
"That's right!" Hama said." They had both turned to each other by now and were ignoring Shu.
"That's why we're friends, you're the only girl here not named Katara."
"Just be happy we were born in the South. What if we had been born in the North?"
"We'd all be named Yue and no one could tell any of the girls apart."
"Poor Sokka" Hama sighed.
Katara turned toward Shu and told him sotto voce,
"Sokka's my brother" then turned back to Hama with, "Yes, North or South all the boys are named Sokka. There must be tens of thousands of them by now."
"My name is Shu. I was named after the first earthbender."
The two girls suddenly turned their extreme smiles back on and faced back towards him. Katara started humming a tune. "
I heard they like music." She side mouthed to Hama.
Hama let a loud cloud of breath escape from her nose and leaned in to Katara and asked her,
"How long do we have to keep this up?"
Katara dropped her silly smile and asked in return.
"Oh is he still here, I had forgotten all about him? By the way what's he look like?"
"Well… he is very large."
"Muscles?"
"Lots!" Hama said in a growl.
"Hey! I saw him first!"
"No you didn't!"
"Ok, but he ran into me first!"
"Oh, all right."
"Little, tiny head?" Katara asked in a worried voice.
"Normal."
"Eyes?"
"Two."
"Color?" The younger girl asked obviously irritated.
"What do you care?" Hama asked.
"I care, alright?"
"Green."
"Oooo… I like that, what about his butt?"
Shu was used to posing for his fans in and out of the ring. It was the only thing the "Old Man" could not take away from him and he really enjoyed the attention, well to be honest the adulation. He turned around and struck a double bicep muscle pose for her. It was the pose he used after winning a fight, and was his favorite.
"Hard to tell with all the clothes." Hama mused.
"Offer to brush the snow off his back." Katara suggested.
Shu felt the blood rush to his face when he heard that. He didn't think he was being that obvious when he was "helping" Katara earlier.
"He doesn't have any" Hama said.
"He doesn't have a butt?" Katara asked in horror
"Snow!"
"Oh, I can fix that" Katara said with assurance. Shu turned to see Katara stick her staff in the snow then stoop down and pick up a large clump of snow. She reared back to throw it and then asked in a very sweet voice,
"Excuse me sir, would you please count to four for me?"
Shu bent down and began to pick up a pile of his own as he said "I said my name is Shu."
Katara's head turned as he spoke and she zeroed in on his face for the first time, and before he had finished his statement the clump was in the air and coming right at him with amazing speed. It hit him in the face and shoulder. He was blinded for a moment and had to drop his clump to free his hands to wipe the snow out of his eyes. As he did so he heard Hama say,
"You hit his face, not his back".
Katara sighed "a woman's work is never done".
As he cleared his vision he could see that she was picking up more snow and making it into a ball this time.
A snowball fight ensued. Hama was very fast and an excellent shot. Katara would not shy away from incoming shots, how could she, but she would respond in kind any time she got hit. Shu was surprised at how accurate she was just by using the return angle of any hits she received. She was also very good at throwing at the sound of his voice, or the crunching of the snow as he took a step, or packed the snow into a missile.
Shu quickly learned that some snow was better for packing into ammunition then other snow was. His first few flew apart as they left his hand. He also found that he was a terrible shot. He had never had to actually throw anything before. He had always relied on earthbending.
"No fair waterbending!" Katara shouted at one point.
"I'm just helping the snow stick together!" Hama replied defensively.
Katara responded by throwing a chunk of snow at Hama and it became a three way fight. Katara dispensed with packing the snow and just began to hurl piles of it at both of them. Shu let the more experienced fighter be his guide and did the same. Soon they were all screaming and yelling and laughing, covered in snow from head to foot. Their breath coming out in great gusts of fog, as they warmed to the work.
Shu had never had so much fun in his life. His dad had never let him play with anyone. It had always been train, train, train. He wasn't allowed to play, but had to compete with everyone he ever met. It was a revelation to him that you didn't have to care who won or lost as long as you had fun. And the two girls knew how to have fun, without being prissy or silly, well they were silly, but not in that girly way some girls were. They dove right in there, they'd take a hit to give a hit.
Suddenly a man's voice cut through the fight with an angry shout of,
"Katara! Just what do you think you are doing young lady!"
Hama dropped her snow ball and tried to look innocent. Katara, who had been just about to hit her with a clump of snow, stuck her tongue out at Hama and finished the throw hitting her in the head. Then Katara very sweetly called out,
"Nothing, brother dear!"
Shu then saw Hama take a step towards Katara while sweeping her arms up and forward, a large pile of snow leapt up into the air and buried Katara.
A young man strode onto the battlefield, he looked to be about Hama's age, his brown hair tied up into a high pony tail, with the same ocean blue eyes as his sister. He began the same movement that Hama had made, except at the end he continued the sweeping arc of his arms reversing his stance. The snow flew off of Katara and headed for Hama, but before it arrived she had changed her stance and raised her hands. The young man and Hama began a lyrical and complicated dance around each other. The water responded by moving and flowing and changing, from water to ice, from ice to snow, and back again.
Shu had seen waterbending displays before but never anything like this. The two of them were so in-tune to one another that it became one continuous dance. Shu was completely enthralled by the skill and beauty of it.
After a time Katara walked towards Shu and told him,
"They can keep this up for hours. Do you see my wand any where?"
With difficulty, Shu pulled his eyes from the two benders and located Katara's staff still stuck in the snow. He retrieved it and handed it to her.
"You should join in" The earthbender suggested "I bet you could put them both to shame."
Shu didn't know why but he felt supremely confident that even at her age Katara was a waterbender like no other in the world.
"That would be difficult, since I am not a bender " Katara said as she took the staff from him.
"Not a bender?" Shu said incredulously, then, he laughed loudly. "Don't try to fool me!" he finally got out between his guffaws.
He saw an odd look flash across her face. Then she became a little serious as she told him,
"I'm not a bender."
Shu couldn't believe it.
"Oh come on, don't be silly" he said. "You act like a bender. You look like a bender. You have to be a bender! "
A non bender could never be as alive as she was. In his life non benders were the cleaners, the cooks, the lesser people. Katara was too much alive, she was too smart, too independent, too pretty to be one of them. He liked her too much. He could never like or respect a non bender.
"Never been a bender, and never will be." Katara told him, with a little frown.
"You can't…, not be…" Shu started then he trailed off.
Was she serious? How could he have missed it? Was she trying to fool him about being a bender, or had she been fooling him all along? Was she acting like a bender all this time just to mix in with other benders? He suddenly felt very uncomfortable standing there with her. He didn't like to be deceived, and she had obviously put one over on him. She and her friends had probably set this whole thing up and would have a good laugh at his expense later after he was gone.
"Good one!," Shu complimented her, then as he continued he hid his embarrassment behind anger and disdain, "You really had me guessing for a second there, but now that I look at you it is really quite obvious that you don't count. You should be more careful though, trying to pass yourself off as a bender could get you in a lot of trouble. You really should know your place."
Shu saw the surprise enter Katara's face, which caused him to feel even more embarrassed, which he hid with heavy sarcasm.
"I've had a delightful time here and was happy to be of such entertainment for you." He told the blind girl.
Anger filled Katara's cloudy eyes, then it quickly shifted to hurt, which she just as quickly pushed down as she said in a cold voice,
"How generous of you, or should I say how like a true earthbending master. Sorry to be such a disappointment to you and, it is my sincerest wish that you will not be plagued by the likes of me in the future."
"Don't worry" He retorted bitterly, "I'll be much more careful from now on!"
"Excellent!" Her anger was evident now. "I would keep an eye out to insure your safety from contamination, but that's impossible for me!"
"Don't worry I will keep both of mine on the lookout for your kind."
"Thank Tui and La for that" she said making a slight bow to Shu. "Otherwise I would have to rely on your stench to warn me I was getting too close, and one dose of that is enough for this life time!"
"MY PLEASURE!" He shouted back at her.
Shu could feel the heat in his own face and knew that his pale skin must be bright red by now. He noticed that her dark complexion was much darker than it had been, and he could swear that he could see a vein pulsing on her forehead.
"The pleasure of NEVER meeting you again will be all MINE! A pleasure that I will forego no longer. GOODBYE!" And with that the blind girl turned and walked away, using her staff to feel the path before her.
She had only gone a few steps when Shu saw her falter for a step, then she shouted to the sky,
"EARTHBENDERS!"
Then she straightened herself and continued on her way, into the village.
There was a splash and Shu turned towards where he had last seen Sokka and Hama. Hama was soaking wet and Sokka was standing looking embarrassed trying to apologize. Hama took a horse riding stance and moved her arms out in a strong gesture. The water flew off her, changed to frost and then fell to the snow covered ice. She strode over to Shu, Sokka following her.
Hama's anger was more than evident as she asked the earthbender
"What did you do to Katara?"
Sokka gave Hama a surprised look and then gave Shu an angry one.
"Nothing!" the large teen replied, now feeling guilty.
"I'll bet" Hama said, then turned and chased after her friend calling,
"Katara, wait up!"
Shu looked at Sokka, whose dark face looked even darker than it normally did. Shu thought he saw a vein pulsing in Sokka's forehead. Must be a family trait the teen eartbender thought. Sokka seemed about to say something, but then he changed his mind and ran after Hama.
Shu just stood there for a minute telling himself that he had done nothing wrong, that he was the offended party here. They had tricked him, passing off a non-bender as a bender! Finally he turned and headed back to the city and his hotel room, telling himself that he never should have visited this stupid little village in the first place. Water Tribers were just weird.
To be continued:
Disclaimer : "Avatar the Last Airbender" the characters and the world were created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko and owned by Nickelodeon and Viacom or Paramount or some huge corporation. This is purely a work of fan fiction because I wanted to play in their world and I love the characters that they created.
Comments: This is a very old story of mine that I have had up on DevianArt back in April of 2009. It is a follow up to my first stories "Ten Seconds" and "Floating" and forms a Tryptich of that different future after the war. I hope you will enjoy it. I will be putting up the next parts over the next couple of weeks.
I appologize for the long delay on the next chapter of "I'll Walk You Home". My wife is directing a production of "Le Mysanthrope" by Moliere for an Equity Waver theatre and since there is no money everything is done by volunteers and it is eating all of my free time so writing is when I can steal some time. The show opens September 23rd so after that my time will open up and I hope to start updating regularly again.
So in the meantime I'm dusting off this last of my first stories just to have something out there for people to read and to let me feel like I am doing something creative.
The names will get a little confusing but that was part of the fun in writing the story so I kept it in. Sorry if you get a little lost.
I think it is pretty obvious who has been reborn as who but if you have any problems figuring it out please just let me know and I will explain what's what.
Yes I made Sokka blind. I don't think the Universe could handle it if Sokka and Toph could see each other. It would cause an implosion of awsomeness that nothing could survive.
I hope you enjoy it. Thank you very much for reading
