Hey everyone!! I know I haven't updated in a long time, but I want you all to know I'm going to be going through all of my chapters and editing them. There won't be a new chapter for a while, but I'm adding a lot of details. I will make a note at the top of the chapters that have been edited. So far I've done chapter 1 and 2

Chapter 1: Katara and Zuko

KPOV

Hi, my name is Katara, I'm a trained waterbender as well as having a master in bloodbending. I decided when I finished studying, I wanted to become a teacher and completed my credentials. I am now a full time teacher in my home-village's main high school as well owning a dojo for waterbenders from around the world to train or visit. I've even had students who weren't benders or a bender of a different element come to see how the fighting style is different.

My mother had died when I was younger, when my country was still very deep in war. My father only recently came back from fighting and negotiating peace after I had already entered college, so him and I aren't very close. However, I am very close to my Gran-gran, who is very close to her death bed.

I also have an older brother who decided to walk in our father's footsteps and join the army. It's been years since he's enlisted and now he's a major. He's even had some of his men train in my dojo.

I'm 27, and my brother is 30. We may seem young for the things we've accomplished, but it's tradition for us to figure out our futures at a very young age. Once you hit high school, you pretty much have your future set for you and besides your general classes, you take classes that lead you through the path you choose to take.

Let me explain some things. There are 4 nations in the world, Water, earth, fire, and air. Each nation is generally known for a specific trait.

The water consists of the North and the South. The North has kept more of its traditional ways than us Southerners. Although, they do have advanced technology, we have more young scholars and are much more equalitarian. The Earth Nation is known for its manual labor and strong army. Although every nation has an army, the earth nation's army is known to be the strongest in the world. The Air nation is known for their peace and neutrality. They kept their noses out of the war and let everyone else deal with it. Many resent them for the fact they didn't do anything about it. The fact that the Avatar, and airbender, took so long to interfere probably has a major factor for the dissatisfaction from many parts of the world. The Air nation consisted of many monks and is deeply rooted in their religion. The Fire Nation is also known for their army since they are the ones who started the war against the Water Nation. After the Fire Nation invaded many parts of the Earth Nation, the Avatar finally stepped in and the Earth Nation's army worked together with the Water Nation's. This combined effort threw the tyrant off the throne and they started a newfound democracy.

The Water and Air Nation's still don't have a full democracy, mostly because our ways still work well with how our government is set up.

After the war, there was much hostility between the nations, especially towards the Fire Nation.

I have studied abroad in each nation, and was happy I was able to learn so much from them, but being in the small village that I'm in, I don't get to interact with those from other nations too often.

Until he came of course.

I hate moving.

I have never, nor will I ever, like moving. There are too many boxes and so much junk that my uncle refused to throw away.

This time, we are heading to the Southern Water Nation, because my uncle was able to buy a shop and he wanted to start up a new tea franchise. He figured selling warm tea in a place that always has snow was a good idea. For once, I agree with him.

I'm Zuko. I'm a firebender and once I became of age, I was forced by my family to join the military where I realized that the war was all a load of crap. I, luckily, joined right when the war was at its end, so I wasn't there for very long. After that, I stayed with my uncle, working in his tea shop, and now we are moving due to certain circumstances with our family.

I honestly planed on taking over the tea shop and staying in our packed city, which I was perfectly comfortable with, I felt I didn't need to travel anymore. However, he now decided to up and move to the Water Nation, of all places! Sometimes, wait no, scratch that, most of the time, I just don't know what he's thinking. Some days I'm grateful, others not as much.

I'm 25 years old, and just recently became single. I had been dating a girl named Mai before being forced to join the military. When I came back, we had never really been the same. We stayed together for the image, but now that I was leaving, there was no reason to try and stay together. At least I got away from her, there's actually one upside to the move.

I do have a younger sister, but she decided she wanted to become a politician and is in the middle of going to school right now. She and I aren't exactly on speaking terms anyways.

In case you didn't pick it up earlier, I am originally from the Fire Nation. Both of my parents died in the war, as well as my cousin.

I didn't have many friends throughout life, and my romantic life didn't pan out well either, I've always had trouble getting close to people.

That is, until I met her.
