PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE GOING TO THE STORY:
okay! Now to prevent any confusion like my other story...I will now explain what the hell is going on. First off, sorry for the rather dry intro...can't really do anything about it, but it is very important to the whole plot. Don't worry it gets better later on, I promise. Also...I'm probably not going to update it often because of school and the fact that I have two better stories waiting and I'm just itching to start those two. I know the names seem kind of...odd but they are actual Chinese names. I will explain the groups and the Katara/Aang situation later on in the story!!Yes the title is from Amber Pacific...And no there is not going to be two avatars fighting to the death. The title basically represents the internal conflict within Aang. Other than that...enjoy the story.
Also...Aang isn't goin going to save the world by producing more airbenders, he actually has to save them from real danger... It will be known later on.
P.S. Reviews are very much appreciated! Tell me your opinion! Is it too long, too detailed, etc! Any spelling corrections are also appreciated.
Also:if you know any good Harry Potter fics (Harry/Hermione only plz) tell me through pming me/review! Thank you!
Disclaimer: I don't own Avatar...sorry to disappoint you
The room was dark and depressing, the windows shut closed to the outside world preventing any of the sun's beautiful rays to permeate into the room. The only source of light was a dinky little lantern placed in the center of the room on a large, rectangular mahogany table. There were three seats, one on each end and one in the middle. A typical Fire Nation meeting room. Not that the three sole occupants cared about this gloomy look, no they cared about more pressing matters. None were interested in the looks of the Fire nation anyways, most of the lands still burnt from the legendary battle of the Avatar and Fire Lord Ozai. No one cared about the lands…no one had the money to fix the lands. No they only cared about a file now spread opened on the table, the contents only to be seen by these three men alone. Three of the most important men, minus the Avatar and his friends, who hail from the three separate nations. They had only arrived yesterday, but all were twitching with anticipation on the important news. They each took their perspective seats.
Xun was located at the right end of the large table. He became the new Earth King just one year after the war had ended after the old one retired. A harsh and impatient, yet kind and compassionate man made him one of the most respected man in the Earth kingdom yet most despised man in the rest of the nations. He was able to get rid of the corrupt Dai Lee and restore most of the damage done from a hundred years of war. He was in his mid-50s, but his wisdom and temper goes beyond any elder. His hair was cut short and his face was almost as flat as a pancake and his hair as mahogany as the table.
Chang was located directly opposite to Xun. He was the new Chief of the water tribes, after the old one was murdered by P.L.S or the Phoenix's Loyal Servants , a terrorist group that was just recently formed. A calm and passive man, he was able to create peace and agreement between all the nations. Although in his 70s, his wit and agility surpasses all but the Avatar, his face always masked with indifference, his hair tied up in the traditional wolf's tail, his eyes a brilliant cerulean, and his hair gray.
He-ping was located at the center of the table, his bare looks radiated with power. He was the minister for foreign affairs as well as in charge of P.A.H or the Protectors of Airbender History. His job is to ensure balance in all of the nations. Slow and patient, he always took months to formulate plans but they were almost infallible. His nature earned him a place in Fire Lord Zuko's council. Still in his early 60s, his hair was raven-black, his eyes dark brown, and his nose, hooked-shape.
He-ping slowly entered the room, with the other two already seated, and took his seat in the center. He acknowledged the two with a simple nod and spoke in a strong, confident voice.
"Now," He-Ping started, "You may be wondering why I called this meeting…Well-"
Xun interrupted, his voice practically booming through out the room. "Yes we do! Its not everyday we get a call to come to this…this..." Xun looked around the room in disgust. "Hell, it doesn't even deserve to be called a room."
Even though Chang said nothing, his eyes gave his curiosity away before returning back to its indifferent state.
He-ping chuckled softly, he knew that Xun could care less about the room's appearance, he was only looking for a object to channel his anxiety to.
"Calm down Xun…I'm getting to it…Now as you all know the air nomads have been dead for around one hundred years with only one of their kind still alive, the Avatara." He paused to pull a sheet full of data out of the classified folder. "Unfortunately, this…problem seems to cause unforeseen effects to-"
"What?! Effects?! Damn it! What kind of effects?! I've never seen any effects?!" Xun yelled in a sudden outburst of anger and trepidation, these kinds of things would ruin their already fragile economy. "Give me that!" Xun snatched the data out of He-ping's hands and briefly scanned over it. After doing so, he looked up, obviously shocked and wordlessly handed it over to Chang.
"Tornados…Hurricanes…Volcanoes…Blizzards…Spirit sightings" Chang mumbled aloud. "This…unbalance is causing a huge increase in the tendency in all of these things?"
He-ping nodded solemnly. "Unfortunately…well at least that's what the public is saying."
"Well how do you know the damn public is right?! It could just be a bunch of idiots running around and spreading rumors! I thought the damn world was safe after the Avatar defeated the Fire Lord six years ago!" Xun yelled, clearly irritated, his hand slamming hard down onto the table, causing He-ping to flinch in shock.
"The public isn't just a bunch of idiots; they have first-hand experience on these events, disasters particular. They wouldn't report these things if they didn't feel threatened in some way. They would know changes, especially farmers and fishermen because their business depends on the weather…anyways I've notice a change in the aura in the air about two years back. I'm sure that's when these reports started coming in, yes?" Chang stated calmly, yet his brain was already calculating the consequences of this problem.
"Well said…and yes." He-ping said, surprised that Chang could sense the change in aura and even more surprised that Chang didn't say anything about it. "Now I have a theory on why this is happening….the spirits are obviously angry and we are losing their favor…I'm afraid they are replacing us or recreating us…or something else. Either way, at the rate of these effects, we have about three years till every human is wiped off of this world. Then…well it doesn't matter then."
Both of the occupants openly gaped at him, Chang had even forgone his mask of indifference.
"W-What?! W-why….How?!" Xun stammered out.
"I don't know, but we must get the Avatar to have a child." He-ping said, a stern look on his face.
"Well then that's easy, just get the fucking Avatar to have sex and we'll be done!" Xun yelled, though his face seemed to relax.
"I'm sure th-" He-ping started while blushing.
"See! It's perfect! I don't even know why you called us! I'm sure the Avatar would be more than happy to have sex! Hell, I would! I'm sure half of the world would-"
"SHUT UP!" He-ping yelled as he practically jumped out of his chair and slammed his fist on the table, his legendary patience wearing thin. He-ping sighed, sat down and slowly rubbed his temples. Xun is one of the few people who could get on He-ping's nerves.
Xun obviously surprised, shut his mouth as fast as he could, accidently biting on his tongue and drew blood, but he was too shocked to even feel the pain.
"Listen…If it was as easy as that would I even call you?!" He-ping pulled out another sheet out of the folder; this one looked very old and delicate. "According to legend, an airbender can only be…produced if the love is pure only."
Chang spoke out before Xun could yell again. "Well it could only just be that, a legend, and I'm sure the Avatar must love someone."
He-ping paused, not sure how to answer. After several minutes of painful silence, he spoke. "You may be right, but I don't want to take a risk, according to legend, if the Avatar has sex with someone he is not in love with or out of lust, he can no longer produce airbenders. As for your second question, I've already tried to hook the Avatar with almost every girl in the world…and it was a pretty subtle hook up if I might say." He-ping sighed and rested his head on his hands. "I'm afraid that the Avatar has gone into a state of seclusion."
"Why?" Chang asked simply.
"I'm not too sure…but intelligence shows that this girl is the source of our problems." He-ping said while pulling out a portrait of a smiling Katara, who was sitting on a chair posing for the painter. Chang studied the picture closely, he silently admitted that the girl was beautiful with her smooth, long, mahogany hair, her perfect, tan, skin, and her stunning cerulean eyes which mimicked the ocean in every way….or maybe the ocean was mimicking her.
'I know her…from somewhere' Chang though, examining her more closely, then it hit him.
"That is one of the Avatar's companions…Katara I think…yes, yes I remember her from my visits to the South Pole. Why is she a problem? I thought she and the Avatar were close friends."
"We don't know exactly…but the day they went their separate ways was the day the Avatar lost all interest in life itself…that was six years ago and look at the Avatar…still moping…"
"I see…well I have connections in the Southern water tribe that could ensure that…Katara could come over here and we could explain the situation maybe?" Chang stated.
"No, if she knew she might disagree, from her file it said she hated arranged marriages and that is basically what we are doing to the Avatar. No, we must be as discrete as possible in order to assure pure love instead of a forced one…preferably Katara becomes friends with the Avatar again and Aang become all happy again and finds love. If he falls in love with Katara, then it is better…cuts the time to find more girls to fit the Avatar."
"Fine…I'll get right on it." Chang said, while already starting to write the scroll for a certain friend of his.
"Good….remember, do whatever it takes to get Katara and the Avatar back together…as friends or as lovers." He-ping said while standing up, indicating that this meeting was over.
Yay! first chapter done! I know...very boring really...But it WILL get better! Sorry about the change in tenses...I've corrected most of them... if you find any errors help me out! When I say it won't be updated often...well I'll update it within the month...maybe
