Chapter 1: The Awakening of the Avatar
Tsuriai sat up quickly, alarmed. He felt something very big was going to happen. It was clear in a moment, as a beam of light shot up from the south. It was very far away; in fact, it seemed to even be past the Southern Air Temple, right on down at the Southern Water Tribe. It must have been a huge beam of light, if he could see it here, on the other side of the world.
He had to get to a town soon. His food supply was running low, and he was keen on some entertainment. So, to save what food he had, he got out his fishing line and quickly caught himself some breakfast.
Tsuriai grasped the fish in his hand concentrated hard. Within a few seconds, he had himself a delicious, fresh, hot-off-the-hand fish breakfast, which he ate quickly.
He made the long trip up the stairs to the cliff, where the footsteps remained. Pushing them out of his mind, he journeyed north, where he hoped to find a small town in the gorge.
As he walked, he practiced controlling his unique bending ability. He had made some new discoveries; if he used a large ball of fire, there was a greater concussion effect, and if he used a lot of water, there was a great flash and the air glowed white longer.
So Tsuriai took a deep breath, gathered energy in his right hand, and released a large fireball towards the ground, at the same time exhaling. Exactly after that, he shot a small bubble of water from his water bottle. The two collided and created a crater in the ground five feet wide. Tsuriai was amused.
So for the next several days, Tsuriai walked north. On the third afternoon, he came across a herd of something that looked like a cross between a cow and a horse. It had a wide body like a cow, but the head of a horse, and they did not make noise. But he weaved his way through him, and had an extra spring in his step; signs of animals such as these could only mean one thing; he was getting close to a town.
Sure enough, around mid-evening, he saw a caravan moving towards a small hill, which he presumed to be the town. So he smiled and walked towards the hill.
Suddenly, he heard a rumbling from the south. Startled, he looked back and saw the whole herd galloping towards him. Stampede!
Thinking quickly, he shot a small fireball into the air, and shot the entire contents of the water bottle at the fireball. They collided.
There was a massive, blinding flash of light, a small, but loud concussion, and a sun-bright glowing sphere suspended in the air. The steer-steed herd stopped immediately, and scattered left and right.
Smiling slightly, he turned around and continued his course.
