:death and love: prologue
It was a day like any other, in the south pole, a pair of siblings were having a particularly rough time fishing for their dinner. Meanwhile in the fire nation, deep under the royal palace, an entirely different story was brewing.
The fire nation held a great secret, for thousands of years, this secret had helped them stay strong for as long as they had. This secret was an invaluable one, for the fire nation had trapped one of the spirits themselves, the most deadly and powerful one of all, the spirit of death himself.
The fire nation had trapped him in the 100 years that the avatar had vanished, the avatar and the spirit of death were closely linked, as was their power, making death easy to capture as the avatar was incapacitated. The avatar had been strongly tied with the spirit of death ever since the very first avatar had cut a deal with him, the avatar would be reincarnated every time he died, and death would get access to the avatars massive reserve of power, this meant that death could bend all elements just like the avatar.
Deep beneath the royal palace the spirit of death was chained up heavily, his form was that of a human, with ash white hair, and deep black eyes, whenever the avatar would die, this form would change. Every one of his limbs were on shackles, even his neck, he was fed by the guards he was assigned, however, despite the fire lord's desperate measures to keep him hidden and secret, azula had known ever since she was a child. She would go down to him to feed him sometimes and toy with him, as she often does with everyone. But she felt a deep connection with him, unlike anybody else, strange she thought, but that was soon forgotten once she stopped visiting him because of her duties as princess, keeping her too busy.
Back to those fishing siblings. Their names were Katara and Sokka. They were currently arguing over who was ruining their time fishing, as well as other matters such as chores and what not. Katara was getting very angry, which was awakening her powers as a waterbender, cracking open a massive glacier, which smashed their small boat and appeared to have brought a bizarre sphere of ice to the surface of the water. "What is that?" katara asks
"I'm not sure but we should stay away from it." Sokkaa says to her, but she ignores him and steals his club and starts whacking at the sphere of ice. It soon cracks and a powerful blast of air pushes them away and then the sphere opens to reveal a teenage boy, unconscious. He was bald and had strange arrow tattoos all over him, and the clothing of a monk.
"He's an airbender!" Katara exclaimed she tried waking him up, shaking him slightly, he soon woke up, saying tiredly "h-hello, can i ask you something?"
"Yes of course! What is it?" katara responds "will you go penguin sledding with me?" he excitedly asks, katara tilts her head in confused surprise
"Um, sure" she smiles. He then airbends right onto his feet, smiling and looking all around.
At around the same time, in the cell of death, he felt the avatar had awakened, giving him a massive boost of power, he smashed his chains to pieces, using firebending to heat them to the point of being brittle, he then used airbending to knock out all the guards, smashing their heads into the wall of the small hallway they were in. He then used earthbending to swim through the earth, to the surface of the fire nation land, he flung himself into the air, then used airbeinging to soar away, using small wings made of water from a nearby pond, he made his way towards the earth kingdom, he was finally free! For now.
