Prologue

This is my fanfic, I own nothing in this story. I am just writing a story about how I think it should go in the mere future. Now in this prologue is what I think should happen between the end of the war and my fanfic.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was a glorious fight, the fight was, fight to the death. Ozai almost won, but Zuko came through and shot Ozai through the heart with the lightning. It was in slow-motion when Ozai dropped to the ground, dead. The gang past out from hours of fighting. There were alot of men lost.

The war had ended, the wrath of Ozai ceased, no more war, no more pain caused by Fire Nation armies. The joy was never ending.

When the gang woke up they were in Ba Sing Se, celebrating their success. There was a giant feast in the honor of Aang, Katara, Zuko, Toph, and Sokka.

"We welcome you all here to celebrate victory over the Fire Nation. We brought back the heroes. Avatar Aang of the Air Nomads, Prince Zuko of the Fire Nation, Master Katara and Sokka of the Water Tribe, and Toph Bei Fong of the Earth Kingdom. They fought bravely and didn't give up until the Fire Lord fell. Now here they are the Warriors of the World." Said the announcer. The group blushed with all that was good said about them, while the rest of the room roared with cheers.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I know we've been traveling for the last few weeks together." Katara said to Zuko as they were sitting next to the fire.

"Yeah." Zuko said calmly.

"I know you've never got along with anybody except me."

"Yeah, I got along with you."

"Do you think we could ever be friends?"

"I thought we already were, when I joined the group."

"Yeah you did become my friend when I asked you to join and teach Aang fire bending."

"Then why did you ask?" Zuko asked.

"I don't know, just making sure, I guess."

------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I don't want to be Fire Lord, Uncle!" Zuko exclaimed. "You'd be better at it. I'm not ready yet, I'm only seventeen."

"Very well, I will be Fire Lord until you are ready." Iroh said calmly.

"Thank you." Zuko said.

"What are you going to do since you are not the new Fire Lord."

"I'm going to study the ways of being a Fire Lord."

------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ty Lee, the Fire Nation has failed miserably." Azula said while pacing the inside of her new cave located in the Earth Kingdom, her clothes torn to rags. "We need to redeem our country."

"Why? We didn't lose our honor."

"It's not that. Now the other nations think we are defenseless. They now think we are trash." Azula lied.

"They do? but I just walked to an Earth Kingdom shop and they treated me with respect, like I was an equal."

"Well they do me!" Azula snapped.

"It's probably because you're in rags."

Azula looked down at her dress to see it was destroyed. "Stupid." Azula mumbled to herself. "Join me because we have been friends for forever."

"I know that."

"I know you do."

"Fine, I'll join you. Only because I am your friend."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I said for you to treat me like a queen!!" Azula yelled as Ty Lee was watching in fear.

"But I shouldn't have to obey you because I am your friend. But I can respect and honor you."

"I lost my honor when I ran from the Avatar. I want to be obeyed!!" Azula yelled.

"That's it. I'm outta here!" Ty Lee yelled as she grabbed her bag and started to walk away.

"Oh, no you're not." Azula said softly to herself as she was preparing her lightning.

Ty Lee looked over her shoulder to look at Azula one last time and saw blue lightning within Azula's grasp. She started to run peering over her shoulder constantly. She avoided every shot of lightning thrown at her. Then she took a sharp turn into the wood, stopped for a second to catch her breath and wipe the sweat from her forehead. Then at a full sprint away from Azula.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Katara was screaming at the top of her lungs as she plummeted from several feet in the air. It was a terrible storm, it was so windy that the group had to hold onto Appa's saddle so tight that it made their arms turn a bright red and hurt tons. Obviously Katara wasn't holding on tight enough.

Aang was flying toward Katara to catch but was to slow. Luckily, Katara used her water bending to less the pain of the impact. Katara then yelled at the top of her lungs as she was making a board of ice for her to use, "Go on without me. I'll be okay!!!!"

Then something dropped beside her she looked at it for a split second and knew what it was so she picked it up and slung it across her shoulders, it was her bag. They knew she was going to be separated for awhile so they gave her what she needed.

As she water bended to the shore, it was very difficult for her she would constantly stumble over waves and get caught in giant waves. But, before she knew it she was on shore laying on her back in exhaustion. When her energy returned she got up and walked into the woods for shelter.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Zuko, you are now twenty years of age you can now be the Fire Lord." Iroh said to his nephew.

"I read that I must be married to gain the throne."

"Are you in need of a wife?"

"Yes." Zuko snapped.

"What are you going to do about it."

"I'm going to go look for one."

"Like who for example?"

"Katara."

"Katara?"

"Yes I am going to go find her and ask her to marry me."

"Are you leaving now?"

"Yes." Zuko said while packing a small bag, "Bye Uncle."

"Bye my nephew." Iroh gave a Zuko a hug all that Zuko could was to put his arms around him.

"See you soon." Zuko said while walking out the door.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I've gotta go look for Katara." Sokka said while packing his bag.

"But we are looking for her." Aang pointed out.

"You're the Avatar, you can't be wasting time looking for Katara when there are more important things for you to do." Sokka said while walking out, "Bye Aang, I will come and find you and Toph when I have found Katara."

"Bye Sokka." Aang said while giving Sokka a hug.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Weeks have past since Zuko's search for Katara. He was on the shorelines of the Earth Kingdom, knowing Katara would be by water. Then he walked into the woods when the day was coming to an end. He set up camp and went to go hunt. While he was hunting, he saw someone walking through the woods, who could it be?
