YES! I THINK I AM THE FIRST! Hey everybody, ZuZu here. (I am NOT a Zuko fan but I use it cuz it has relation to my name) ANYWAYS, ever since I watched Avatar in the summer, I've been making connections to it. After I finished reading Mark of Athena 3 days ago, I couldn't help but see the resemblance. Percy (Waterbending), Hazel (Seismic sense/earthbending), Jason (Sort of airbending), Leo (Firebending); the evidence was overwhelmingly powerful…so….what if the Avatar people met the Lost Hero people? That would be fun…. The story would start from "Bitter Work"…
P.S. Annabeth is my favourite but unfortunately, she doesn't have any magical "bending" powers...
"Wisdom's daughter walks alone"
Toph groaned as Aang completed another set for earthbending incorrectly. Honestly, this kid might be the avatar, but he was as gifted as a sloth-bear. Yeah, she knew that earthbending was the opposite of airbending, but he couldn't even move a grain of sand!
"Is he this slow at waterbending too?" Toph complained to Katara, who was sitting beside her, putting no effort into conceal her voice from Aang.
"He's ok at waterbending, I guess" Katara replied uncomfortably.
"Uh…Toph?" Aang asked tentatively.
"Sifu Toph here, but yes, Twinkle Toes? Came here to whine? Get back to work!" She yelled.
"The thing is, S-Sifu Toph…I'm the avatar…" Aang started.
Toph turned her head to face Aang, before hitting his head-hard.
"OW!" Aang protested, rubbing his head.
"Sorry, I just wanted to make sure you still had your brains, Y'know, with the avatar comment and all? WHAT DO YOU THINK OF COURSE I KNOW YOU'RE THE AVATAR!" Toph yelled sarcastically.
"If you only had let me finish¸ I was going to say that I have to practice waterbending Katara!" Aang protested, rubbing the red welt that was quickly forming.
"That is true Toph. He hasn't quite mastered waterbending yet, although he is reasonably proficient." Katara put in, defending her friend.
Toph feigned interest. "Oh rea-"Toph started before her ears perked and she whipped her head around. "We're being ambushed. Stay still" She whispered, earthbending a large tunnel for them to disappear into.
"What about Sokka?" Aang asked fervently as they climbed down into the rocky tunnel.
"He's…still out hunting. Don't worry, he's OK at fighting. I mean, Suki did teach him. He'll be fine." Katara assured.
"Right. While you two lovebirds are talking, we have a real problem here. There are people up there. We have no idea what type of people they are and whether they are friends or…" Toph started.
BOOM. Dust fell from the roof of the tunnel, splattering them. A scream echoed from above, a scream that sounded like a girl's but they immediately recognized as Sokka's.
"I guess…that answers your question?" Aang joked, trying to keep the atmosphere lively.
"Not the time Aang! We know that was Sokka. Now, we have to rescue him." Katara snapped.
"Uh…guys? Um….well…..this tunnel….I think it's sinking" Toph pointed out nervously.
"What? How can tunnels sink? Is that even possible?" Katara asked quickly, almost experiencing a nervous breakdown.
"I don't know…but that's what my feet are telling me. The tunnel is sinking-Did you hear that?" Toph interrupted, cocking her head to one side.
"What?" Aang asked fearfully.
"It sounds like….laughter" Toph mused.
"L-laughter?" Katara asked incredulously.
"Yeah…" Toph replied uncertainly. "Wait…I hear water too."
"Water?" Katara asked happily "Where?"
"Gee, I don't know. Why don't you use your little magic water skills to detect it? Toph replied sarcastically.
"Hey, just asking" Katara huffed.
"Shhh there's vibrations up there" Toph said quietly. She stopped walking and slammed her hands into the roof of the tunnel. The ground shook with the impact of the force and a wide hole opened up on top of them. Toph slammed her feet into the ground, throwing Aang, Katara, and herself into the open air.
"Finally!" Aang said happily, who was just beginning to feel a little claustrophobic. After all, he was an airbender.
"Uh….Aang? We got company…" Toph said quietly, nudging her friend.
"What? That's-" Katara started.
"Uh….hi?" A voice asked behind her.
The gaang (or what was left of it) turned around. They saw a tall teenager with jet black hair with a white streak in his hair. He was dripping with water, looking rather bemused when three rather odd kids came right out from the ground. Literally.
AGHHHH so short! Ah well, it was technically a prologue. T-hee!
