So Gamewizard gave me this idea. We were talking about Avatar: The Last Airbender and I mentioned writing a story about it, least to say, he thought it was a great idea. This is book 1: Water, I'll also write book 2: earth and book 3: fire.
Disclaimer: I don't own Avatar or KND. It would be cool but I don't.
"Water. Earth. Fire. Air. My grandmother use to tell me and my brother stories about the old days, a time of peace, when the avatar kept peach between the Water Tribes, Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation, and Air Nomads. But that all changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the avatar mastered all four elements, only he could stop the Fire Nation, but when the world needed him most, he vanished. 100 years have passed and the Fire Nation is winning the war, 9 years ago, my father and the men of my tribe left to go fight in the war leaving me and my brother to look after the tribe. Some people believe that the avatar was never reborn into the Air Nomads and that the cycle is broken, but I haven't lost hope, I still believe that somehow, the avatar will return to save the world."
Two black haired teenagers sat in a fishing canoe in the middle of a cluster of icebergs. They boy sat in front with a spear leaning over the water while the girl sat in the back looking bored.
"It's not getting away from me this time, watch and learn Natalie; this is how you catch a fish." The boy posed the spear above the water and the girl looked over the edge of the canoe, a fish swam past and she grinned. She removed her glove and looked at her brother, he was concentrating on the water, she started to swish her hand around making a ball of water float up with the fish in it.
"Hey look Patton! I caught one!"
"Shhh Nat, you're gonna scare it away!" the boy whispered "Ahh I can already smell it cooking."
"But I caught one!" The ball of water floated over the boy's head right as he lifted the spear to strike. As soon as the spear made contact with the water ball it broke, the water landed on the boy and the fish dived into the water.
"Ahh! Natalie!" The boy sat down his spear and appeared to siphon the water off himself letting it settle back into the ocean "Why is it, every time you play with magic water, I get soaked?!"
The girl huffed "It's not magic, it's called bending and it's-"
"Yeah yeah, I know, it's a unique power that takes years to master. If you forgot, I can do it too! I just don't show it off like you do, like a….weirdo!"
"Oh, I'm a weirdo? I'm not the one who flexes whenever I see my reflection!"
The boy stopped flexing in the water and turned to look at the girl "I don't do that…all the time…."
There was a jolt and the pair looked to the front of the canoe, there were ice chunks bigger than the boat floating in the water ahead of them and they were on a crash course with some. The boy grabbed the oar and tried to move them away from the nice but an ice block got in the way and the canoe crashed into it sending the girl and boy flying out. The boy put his hands out as they slid towards the end of the ice, the water in front of him immediately froze and they stopped themselves before they slid into the ice cold water.
They sat up and looked around "You call that left?" the girl asked
"You don't like my steering, well maybe I should have waterbended us out of that, or better yet, you could have!"
The girl stood up and her furry hood fell down revealing straight, waist length black hair. Some of the hair was pulled into a bun at the top of her head but the rest was straight down her back "Oh, so this is my fault?"
"I knew I should have left you at home. Leave it to a girl to screw things up."
The girl's left eye twitched and she almost hit her brother "You are the most sexist, immature, jerk! I'm embarrassed to be related to you!" as she screamed, she threw her arms behind her causing waves that got bigger and bigger with every arm movement, one wave hit the iceberg behind her and it cracked. The boy saw this and his eyes got huge as his sister continued to yell at him "Ever since mom died, I've been doing all the work around camp while you've been off playing soldier!"
"Uhh, Natalie?"
"I even wash all the clothes! Have you ever smelled your dirty socks?! Let me tell you, NOT PLEASANT!" A giant wave hit the iceberg, cracking it even more.
"Natalie! Settle down!"
"NO! I'm done helping you! From now on, you're on your OWN!" She flung her arms back hard on the final word and a massive wave rose up, smacking the iceberg behind her. She finally turned around and looked at it, walking back towards her brother; she said "Did I do that?"
The iceberg cracked apart sending their ice chunk flying backwards with a wave, when they stopped, the boy removed his arm from behind the girl and they both looked at the place where the iceberg had been.
"Okay, you've gone from weird, to freakish Natalie."
A giant glowing blue ball rose out of the water in front of them. They stumbled backwards and the boy turned toward the water, he waved his hand upwards and a thin sheet of water rose up, rolled itself into a knife shape, and froze, falling into his hand. Instant weapon. The girl walked forward to look into the glowing sphere. A shape was sitting right in the center of the ball, a human form. Suddenly the eyes opened, they didn't have pupils that she could see, they were just white. It looked like right above the eyes and on the hands that seemed to be in front of this person, fist together, had glowing arrows on them.
"He's alive! We have to help!" the girl grabbed her brother's club and ran toward the sphere.
"Natalie wait! Get back here! We don't know what that thing is!"
The girl hit the glowing ball several times; it shot out snow and knocked the sibling's backwards. The crack spread up the ball and shot out a bright light, it shot across the sky like northern lights.
On a nearby boat…
Fire Nation Prince Chad was standing at the bow of his ship when he saw the bright blue light. Chad was a handsome young man but his face was scarred badly over his right eye.
"Finally." He said "Uncle!" he turned toward the black haired man playing with dominos "Do you realize what this means?"
"I won't get to finish my game?"
"It means my search is about to come to an end."
Jason sighed and continued with his game.
"That light, it came from an incredibly powerful force! It has to be him!"
"Oh it's just the celestial lights. We've been down this road before Prince Chad. I don't want you to get too worked up over nothing. Please, sit and enjoy a calming cup of jasmine tea."
"I don't need any calming tea!" Chad yelled at his uncle "I need to capture the avatar! Helmsman! Head a course for the light!"
Back at the glowing blue ball…
The two kids lifted their heads up as the snow calmed down, they both stood up, they boy held out his ice knife and the girl held out her brother's club. The snow cleared completely and they saw a boy standing at the top of the ball. His eyes and the arrow tattoos he had where glowing white and his short brown hair was flying all over the place, he was tall but not as tall as the black haired boy. His eyes and tattoos stopped glowing and he fell down the side of the ball. The girl gasped and ran forward to catch him. The boy started to poke his head with the ice knife but his sister pushed it away.
"Stop it!" she rolled then boy over; he grunted and started to open his brown eyes. As soon as he saw the girl's face he gasped. She was beautiful.
"Can I ask you something?" he said quietly
"What?"
"Please, come closer." The girl moved closer "Will you go penguin sledding with me?"
The boy looked so excited now, his eyes were wide open and he was practically shaking "Oh, um, sure?"
The boy practically floated to his feet causing the girl's brother to jump backwards and point his now melting ice knife at him "What's going on here?"
"You tell us!" The black haired boy yelled "How'd you get in the ice? And why aren't you frozen?"
"I'm not sure…" There was a low growl from behind the brown haired boy and he gasped "Keejo!" he scrambled up the side of the broken blue ball and they heard him plop down on the other side. The two siblings walked around the side of the ball and saw the boy on the head of some big, white, furry creature with a brown arrow running from his tail to nose.
The creature slicked the boy and he laughed "Ha-ha you're okay!"
"What is that thing?" The black haired boy's hood was now down revealing short black hair that fell emo style over his right eye. (Come on people, Patton has to do something to his hair to get it to stay up like that; they are in the middle of the flippin South Pole! His hair is all emo like.)
"This is Keejo, my Flying Bison." The brown haired boy said
"Yes, and this is Natalie, my flying sister."
Keejo started to breathe deeply and sneezed just barely missing the Natalie and her brother.
"So do you guys live around here or-"
"Don't answer him Natalie, did you see that bright light? He probably signaled the Fire Navy." The black haired boy pointed his ice knife at the young boy
Natalie laughed and walked in between her brother and the boy "Oh yeah, I'm sure he's Fire Nation, Look at his face, it's so filled with evil." The young boy smiled innocently "The paranoid one is my brother, Patton. You never told us your name."
"It's Har-Har-Ha achoo!" They boy shot into the air and then slid down the side of the blue ball "My name's Harvey."
Natalie and Patton's mouths were hanging open "You just sneezed, and flew 10 feet in the air." Patton mumbled
Harvey looked at the sky "Really? It felt higher than that."
Natalie gasped "You're an Airbender!"
"Yep, sure am."
"Flying Bison, giant blue orbs, Airbenders, you know what, I'm going home where everything makes sense." Patton said turning his back on the two and walking toward the water.
"Well, if you guys are stuck, Keejo and I can give you a lift." Harvey suggested, he spun through the air and landed on Keejo's head
"Sure, we'd love a ride! Thanks!" Natalie ran toward Keejo and Patton turned around
"No way, no way am I going on that giant snot monster."
"Oh, are you hoping some other kind of monster will come along and give you a ride, you know, before you freeze to death?" Natalie said as Harvey helped her onto Keejo, Patton raised his finger as if he was going to retort but sighed and headed toward the Flying Bison.
Like it? Yes or no for me to continue, that does mean that some of my other stories will be on hold but I could finish this, then finish Nigel Uno and the Sorcerer's Stone, then maybe Lemonade Mouth. I also have an Adventure Time story though.
3 yes votes and I'll continue, review to vote!
