This is a part of my Tales series. Taking inspiration from the Last Airbender episode, "Tales of Ba Sing Se". I'll be producing two simultaneous versions, one based during TLAB and revolving around those characters and one based on LOK and those Characters. Find them in that series' specific category. Also check out my LOK fanfic: The First Avatar (one of the characters in the LOK tales is an OC from there, she'll be getting her own tales and may appear in others)
Genres will vary from tale to tale, but will include, Romance, Humour, Angst, Tragedy and and Family. All Tales will be T-Rated.
These Tales will be brief but frequent (when possible) and may contain spoilers to TLAB and LOK. I will inform you of spoilers and if possible, the episodes they are from.
I do not own Avatar. I hope you enjoy!
Genre: Family
Spoilers: Possible spoilers for Roku's past.
Timeframe and Location: Southern Air Temple shortly after Roku's death.
Tales of The Last Airbender
Tale of Aang: 1
The Birth of Aang
The nuns scurried around the bed, collecting water and towels and checking on the occupant. A young woman, in her late twenties at the most, was lying there, sweating and panting and screaming the infirmary down. The woman was heavily pregnant and had entered the final stages of her labour, her hand held by the only male in the room, a thirty year old monk with a big grin and shining eyes, he used his bending to cool the air around his wife.
With the gentle urgings of the matron and her husband's excited encouragement, the young woman gathered up the last of her strength and with a huge push and an ear-shattering scream, the woman collapsed backward exhausted as a crying filled the room.
Everyone smiled as the head nurse cut the umbilical cord and gently dried the baby before passing it to the eagerly awaiting parents.
"It's a boy!" his mother exclaimed happily hugging him gently to her chest.
"Then his name shall be Aang" said the father as he gently kissed his son on the head.
As the parents and nuns celebrated the birth of Aang, the matron was called away by the head monk.
"We received a message from our sister temple in the north, Avatar Roku has died" the monk said grimly.
"Poor Gyattso must be devastated…when did he pass?" asked the matron.
"Three days before summer's end…" the monk answered.
"That was ten days ago! We're in autumn now which means…!"
"That's right. Any airbender born in autumn after the death of the fire nation Avatar has a chance of being the next."
"Only one child has been born and none of the other girls are far along enough!" the matron knew what this meant but was afraid of saying it.
"Wait a few months then give him the test. If he passes then we'll have to send his parents to another temple" the monk frowned sadly before turning and leaving, the elderly matron was left to deal with the mess.
My take on how Aang was born. I'll make more baby aang tales later.
