Chapter 1
The palace from a distance looked to be made entirely of ice, but studying it intently shows that it has crystal ornaments here and there . It seemed to grow right out of the ground like a glacier and it reflected the light like many shards of glass in the morning sun.
It was high upon the hill overlooking the town, it's many pointed towers giving it the look of an eccentric crown.
Around the palace were the horse pastures and kitchen gardens for the royal family, and around that was a stone wall topped with iron spikes and guarded day and night.
The sculptures in the royal garden had been made long ago by masters of the craft. They were set on pedestals amid the water of the fountains and the perfectly manicured hedges that looked like different animals. White blossoms and white frost flowers were decorating the boundaries of the royal garden. It was just below the huge balcony of the royal palace where a lone figure stood , taking in the fresh air of the garden.
A breeze brushed past, teasing the thick strands of her lush brown hair. She had the deepest blue eyes with touch of sapphire in them that shines like crystals. Her smile would melt your heart and when she flashed her pearly white teeth, she would light up an entire room. Her voice was every bit as beautiful as her glamour. Her pale blue dress which appears white at first glance was tight enough to show her flawless figure with wide hips. A beautiful crystal blue chocker having water tribe symbol on the blue crystal stone was wrapped around her slender neck. An exquisite white gold crown lined with diamonds and Sapphires sitting on her head proudly, making her every bit of a princess
The Olive coloured Princess famous for her beauty and brain, was a known general in united water nation navy. Her grace in her art of bending and swordsmanship has astonished the whole of the four nations.
The ever loving fiesty Princess Katara was the incharge of defence of the water nation, loved by citizens all across the nation. With the title of general in emperor Hakoda's court, she was respected and cherished by the council members except a few exceptions.
" My lady " said a women with pale blue eyes with a hint of grey in them having light brown shoulder length hair stood bowing.
" Yes? " Said the princess
" His royal serene Highness, Emperor Hakoda requested your presence in his study "
" Please inform him I'll be right there in a moment, Kris " said the princess Katara moving away from the railings.
" Will do, my lady " Kris said bowing her head " Anything else my lady desires? "
" I am quite content, thank you"
The servant moves out of the line of vision. Sighing, katara head towards her father's study.
" Hey katara ... Dad called you too? Wonder, what's on his mind " said the prince with broad shoulders and square jaw with hint beard dressed in expensive silver armour with dark blue vest and pointed boots lined with polar bear fur. A silver crown sat on his head with big ocean stone crystal in center.
" Yes, he called me as well though I don't know why , I am on the same page as you, Sokka " said katara sighing.
" Well then let's wait for our dear father , it better won't take long . I promised kya and Amaq to take penguin sledding " said the prince with affection in his voice for his five years old twins.
" Don't worry Sokka , it surly won't take that long " said the princess twirling her long brown strands framing her face.
" I just don't want to disappoint them " his voice thick with emotions.
" Oh Sokka , you can never disappoint your kids , I know it's been hard without Yue but they're going to be loved and cared for because they had such a great father. " Said katara with concern laced in her voice .
" Yeah , thanks kat for cheering me up " said the prince
" Always up for it , brother " winking at her brother and earning a laugh in response.
Just then the doors of the study opened with a booming sound and emperor strides in the room looking every bit of King he is with a serious expression on his visage. The broad shouldered man dressed in long dark blue ceremonial robe laced with silver lining , cracked a smile as his eyes fell on his children.
" Ah Katara , Sokka I am glad you're already here " his children jumped up from their chairs startled from their heart to heart conversation and bowed to their father.
" Good morning father " said katara.
" Ah a good morning indeed " said the adoring father.
" Your majesty we apologize for our unawareness " said the prince
Waving the apology away the king gestured them to sit down on their seats and moving to pour himself a cup of tea
" Let me , dad " said katara taking the kettle from his hand and pouring the boiling liquid in the cup.
" Oh my little water bender always the caring " king smiled at his daughter affectionately with a certain gleam in his blue grey eyes
" If may ask father , why are we summoned , not that we don't like your company but just curious "
" Of course my son , I summoned you two here to discuss quite important matter at our hands " said the king
" What is that important matter be ? " Katara voicing her opinion
The prince and the princess waited eagerly for their father's reply
" I and the council members of my court , has arranged marriage for you both. " Informed the king with a hint of finality in his voice .
