Avatar is not mine. The idea for this story and the actual story is mine.
Zuko and His Dragon
It was the week after Aang and Zuko had returned from the Sun Warrior's city. Aang and Zuko had started Firebending lessons, which were now progressing smoothly since Zuko now had his Firebending back. Aang, being the Avatar, had a very easy time learning Firebending, and he and Zuko were having practice Agni Kais every day, and even though Zuko had dominated the first few, Aang was getting better every day.
One day the gang was having dinner when Toph sensed something in the earth.
"Someone's climbing down the side of the Temple!" she whispered.
Katara looked at Zuko angrily. "Did you do this?" she yelled.
Zuko looked at her in wonder. "I risked my life for your group and for Aang. Don't you think it's past the point where I bring Fire Nation soldiers here?"
"Nobody can trust you! Forget—"
"Not the time. Everyone hide," instructed Aang.
Aang and Toph pulled a large earth barrier up. Aang made a peephole to see who it was.
A funnily dressed man walked into the room.
"Hello? I'm looking for the Avatar and Prince Zuko of the Fire Nation," said the man.
Aang, of course, recognized the man as soon as he saw him.
"Zuko, it's the Sun Chief!" said Aang, pulling down the earth barrier.
"Hello," Aang and Zuko both said, bowing.
The Sun Chief bowed back. "I came to check on the progress of the Avatar. After a week after the meeting with Ran and Cha sufficient mastery should have been achieved."
"Should we demonstrate 'The Dragon Dance' to you?" asked Aang. The Sun Warrior nodded.
After Zuko and Aang did the dance, the Sun Warrior looked pleased.
"Good. You have mastered the form," he said, taking out the Sunstone that they had been accused of attempting to steal at the city. He handed it to Zuko.
"Why are you giving me this?" asked Zuko.
"Something very strange happened. For the first time in centuries, Ran and Cha came out of their caves to talk to me. They said they had been thinking about it, and they said that it would be best if I gave it to you. I should be going now."
Night at the Western Air Temple.
The gang was preparing to go to sleep, Aang and Zuko debated on why Ran and Cha had decided to give Zuko the Sunstone.
"Maybe they just like you?" mused Aang.
"As much as I would like to think that the last two dragons on earth and the two greatest Firebenders on earth have taken a liking to me, I almost know that it has a deeper meaning."
"Probably," Aang said, taking the stone from Zuko.
When Aang's skin touched the stone, the grooves on it started glowing like Aang's tatoos and eyes did when he entered the Avatar State. Indeed, he looked like he had entered it.
Suddenly Aang stopped glowing, but the grooves on the egg did not.
Suddenly a whirlwind of fire appeared and when it dissipated, Avatar Roku, in physical manifestation, appeared before them.
"Hello, Aang, and Zuko," said Roku.
"Hi Roku," said Aang.
"It's an honor to meet my great grandfather," said Zuko.
"Likewise, Zuko," said Roku.
"I came to you knowing that you were with Aang, and when he touched the egg, I could use the spirit energy in the egg to talk to you.
"I was the one who appeared to Ran and Cha and convinced them to trust you with this egg. When the time comes, which is in about a day, a dragon will hatch from this egg "
Zuko's eyes widened. "So this is the last dragon egg?"
"Actually, no. This is simply one of the last 100 dragon eggs in existence. They will all hatch simultaneously tomorrow, effectively proving that dragons are very much still in existence. Because dragons take more than one mate, the fifty males and fifty females will, er, have their hands full rebuilding their race. With this crucial piece of information, I take my leave of you."
With another whirlwind of fire, Roku was gone, leaving Aang and even Zuko pretty excited.
I hope you liked it. Please review.
