Me: Hey guys this is the story I was telling you about. This is actually written by The Wolf. She doesn't really have an account here so she wanted me to help her out. I really don't mind. :D Anyway, on with the show!
"Mama Sokka said I looked like a platypus bear, " Katara cried to her mother. She couldn't believe that her brother could be so mean especially on her birthday! But her mother didn't punish him no the mama's boy told their mother that she had called him a red butted baboon. That may have been the case but her mother didn't have to know that. As her mother looked at them Katara knew she would say something about the love they must have for each other... not that she truly believed that. Though if she was being honest she really did love her older brother not that she would tell him that.
"Katara," their mother said with the utmost patients knowing the little girl just wanted to go play. "You are a pretty little girl and one day soon you will be a beautiful young woman and will have to learn to get along with everyone. And yes that includes Sokka." All Katara could do was smile at her mother and stick her tongue out at her brother knowing she should have gone to their father. He would have scolded Sokka the right way. "Now go run along and have fun at your party Katara." Katara didn't have to be told twice by her mother as she ran towards the ball room.
On her way there she crashed into the very solid form of her father's legs. As she looked up at her father she couldn't think of any person who was better. He had the biggest smile on his face as he picked her off the ground and swinging her into his big bear hug. It was only when she was put down did she notice that her father wasn't alone. Standing next to him was an older and rounder man with a pointed gray beard and the happiest smile she had ever seen.
"Katara this man is Iroh. The man who brings us all of the special tea that you love," her father's smile reached all the way to his eyes so she knew that he was telling her the truth.
"It is a pleasure to met you little princess," Iroh said holding out his hand for her to shake. Katara looked at the hand and decided instead to give him a hug. Though she couldn't actually put her hands all the way around him the hug made him laugh. She liked the way his stomach giggled next to her ear. "You know that I have a nephew who is about your age. I think that you should go find him," this made Katara curious and she ran into the ballroom without even saying good bye to the cheerful adults.
As Katara looked around the ballroom she couldn't help but smile at all the happiness she saw. That was true for everyone in the room except one single woman. She was probably the most beautiful woman Katara has ever seen. The tall elegant women was standing alone over looking the outside pound and the moonless night. Katara wanted everyone to smile so she ditched the thought of finding the boy and went to her instead.
"Excuse me," came her sweet little voice. "Why are you so sad?"
When Katara saw the twisted smile cross the woman's face she tried to run but the woman grabbed her before she could. "I was sad because I couldn't find you. The little girl blessed with beauty but the goddess of the moon. I will not let you become more beautiful than me girl," the woman brought her face closer so that her and Katara where nose to noses. "You will become a beast girl and everyone in this castle will be trapped here with you. If you don't find love then you will die."
All Katara could do was scream as her body changed into a beast and her castle was consumed with the witches fire. Iroh did all he could to save everyone but he couldn't get to the king or queen. His protective flame barely got his nephew in time to save him from the full curse but the boy would be forever scared on his eye. Iroh hid the castle from all who would seek to destroy it and in time the castle and the beast where forgotten.
