Chapter 1: An Unexpected Ally

"Well, the borders are quiet today. A little to quiet. I haven't even heard a whale." Kaiya was pedalling in her whaleskin canoe, out on a patrol for the Northern Water Tribe. She brushed the golden strand of her brown hair out of her eyes as she gazed out over the quiet sea. Checking to see that her pure white sword was still in her black sheath, she breathed deep and let out a few fire bursts. See, Kaiya wasn't a waterbender. She was a firebender. Her mother was a waterbender and her father was a firebender, and she got her father's bending. Sniffing the air, she suddenly detected the smell of..."Smoke. Their's a ship near." Plopping back down, she paddled in the direction she smelled the smoke. As she passed through a patch of mist, she saw something that horrifyed her...a Fire Navy ship. "Crap, should I go back to the tribe? No, the ship could beat me there. I have to attack...now!" Kaiya quietly paddled up next to the enourmous boat and slung her grappling hook over the rail. As she began to climb up she heard shouts and saw bright blasts of flames. 'They can't have someone attacking them...can they?' she thought. Shaking the thoughts out of her head, she hopped aboard and creeped toward the fight scene. Seeing her chance to strike, she blasted from her hiding place, white blade in tow. The older man's eyes widened as she spun him around and put the sword to his neck. "What are the Fire Nation doing here?"

"Nice try, little girl," the man said and tossed her over his shoulder, sending Kaiya sliding across the deck. The younger man just stood and watched, a smirk on his face. Kaiya got up and turned to see the older man rushing her, a fire whip in hand. Without thinking, she created a fire shield, sending the whip away. The man tackled her to the ground and placed a foot on her chest. "Well, well, well, what do we have here? Sozai, looks like we have a firebending, water tribe, peasant." Kaiya opened her eyes to see the Fire Nation Prince standing over her.

"Who are you? And why can you firebend?"

"Let me up and maybe I'll tell you!" The older man moved his foot and Kaiya rose from the ground, rubbing her shoulder. "I'm Kaiya, a worrior of the Northern Water Tribe. And I can firebend because my father was a firebender, happy? Now you have to answer some of my questions," Kaiya replied walking steadily toward the Prince.

"What? No, we ask the question-" immediately Kaiya's sword was poking his neck.

"Wanna keep that neck? Then you will answer my questions." Suddenly Kaiya was tossed over the Prince's shoulder, Kaiya grabbing him as she tumbled. Shaking her head she opened her eyes to meet startling amber ones. "Um...are you going to anwer my questions?" she stuttered. Sozai leaned down and breathed,

"Not a chance." When Kaiya's eyes opened again, the Prince was off of her, and walking along the edge of the boat. "We need to get to the Water Tribe Leader. Can you take us?"

"Sozai? Who's this?" Kaiya turned to see a girl walking out from the captain's quarters. 'Great, he got a girlfrie-, wait! Why should I care he's the enemy!'

"Kira, this is Kaiya. Hopefully, she'll be taking us the the leader of the Water Tribe. Well, your answer?"

"Fine, fine, I'll take you. Yeeesh, know how to pressure someone?" Kaiya walked back to her boat and lifted it up onto the ship then went back to the trio. "First I need some introductions. Who is everyone?"

"Well, you know me," Sozai began, "I'm the Fire Prince, Sozai. This is Vincent, my personal guard and my best friend. And this is Kira, she was a stowaway on the boat, and is now part of our ragtag group." Kaiya breathed and made her way to the front of the ship.

"We need to head past this patch of mist. The Tribe is just a little farther. Ya know, you're really lucky I didn't go get our other warriors. You guys wouldn't have...lasted?" Kaiya turned to see the Fire Prince behind her, VERY CLOSE behind her.

"Really?" he said, inching closer, "I think we could have taken them." And with that, he went back to the others, leaving Kaiya stunned.

"Stupid playboy, probably flirts with every breathing girl on the planet," Kaiya muttered, watching as the boat plunged on through the mist. "Why exactly do you need to talk to my leader?"

"The Fire Nation is planning on stealing the spirits, and since I am running away, I though I would warn you. Maybe help fight in the war and keep my father's army from winning." Kaiya gazed at the Prince, a look of true determination covering his face. Well, he sure was an unexpected ally, wasn't he?
