I feel the warm body of my mother pressed against me. Her fire nation gold eyes glitter with sadness. I feel warm droplets of salty tears fall onto my cheeks. Her light coloured hand reaches and brushes them away. Holding me closer to her she whispers something in my ear. "Chisai, I love you so much. Never forget that."
"I love you too Mommy. But why are you crying?" My five year old self asks.
"Because, my darling I have to leave you, possibly forever."
I start to cry seeing how sad she is. "But mommy," I whimper, "you have to stay here, you and daddy."
"Oh, my baby I wish it could be that way. But I can't the Earth Kingdom won't allow it. And your father has to help me escape. And he needs to leave for the war or he will be killed.
Just as I was about to hug my mom even more someone opened the door to the tent letting the warm wind blister in ruffling the items inside. The man from outside stood with a cold stance. His pale eyes scanned me and my mother. The man was my father.
"Ching Ta, let's go. It is almost morning. I have to get you away safety and I need to leave for the ship soon."
My mother clutched tighter to me, "Come, in for one last embrace, Shan."
My father gave a nod and embraced us in his tight, large arms. I could hear him begin to sniffle. I always thought that my dad was this mean old man, but at that moment I realized that he was a human just like me.
He raises his pale eyes to me, running his pale hand over my hair and gave me a kiss. "I will miss you, Chisai."
Slowly he pulls away from the embrace and pulls my mother away from me. "Ching Ta, you know that we have no choice we have to leave now or it will bring trouble."
My mother who is still sobbing nods and stands up. As she makes her way to the flaps of the tent she whispers, "I love you." Then she and my dad leave to go to who knows where.
I sit there alone and cold. Tears are falling from my gold eyes. I already missed them so much. In a fit in run out into the humid weather with no shoes, running out to outdoors trying to catch my parents. Just as I found sight of them they left. I fall down to the ground. Utterly alone.
So there I was struggling against one the tribe members, crying like a little child. But I was four at the time I had just lost my parents. But looking back I hated myself for acting this was. That was last day I ever say my parents. . . .
Now 10 years later to this day I still haven't seen my parents. My name is Chisai Juerga of the Eastern Earth tribe. My mother is a native of the Fire Nation and my father is from Omashu. My mother is a fire bender and my father is an Earth bender.
They met when my mother went to attack Omashu she saw my dad. They instantly fell in love. They immediately got married and had me. I think having mixed blood is pretty cool, but there are times when I wish that I was just a 100% Earth Kingdom.
My name Chisai is a combination at the words "Kasai" which means fire and the word "Chikyu" which means Earth. I do admit my parents were very creative when they came up with my name. But it was of the few things that they gave so I love it very much.
But another reason why I wish to be only Earth Kingdom is because of the way I look. I mean I am not ugly but it is what some people way when they dock their boats and come to by things from our market plaza. I sell foods at my Aunt and Uncle's shop. And often when they come in they always hesitate to ask me. Because they don't know what tribe I am from.
I have auburn Earth Bender hair tied back in a braid. Then I have bright gold fire bender eyes, and my skin pale. Like take now for example, this man came in with his son looking to buy some food when his son commented on how I look.
"Daddy, that girl she looks funny. What tribe is she from?" The boy's father looked at me and gave me a weird look. "Umm, miss what tribe are you from?" He asked in a confused tone.
My gold eyes glazed over; scanning his I saw that he was from the Earth kingdom, possibly from Omashu. "I am from the Earth Kingdom." I answered simply.
The dad gave me a surprised look and quickly purchased some things and left with his son. These are exactly reasons why I wish that I was just Earth Kingdom. My life would be so much easier.
My thoughts were cut off with a loud bang. My aunt had dropped some boxes. I ran over to help her. "Auntie, you ok?"
"Yeah, I am fine Chisai. I think I rush hour is over how about go and take a break?" I give her a forced nod and went out into the cold. I made my way down to the rocky hills. That was where I liked to sit and think. Sitting on my little ledge I dove into my thoughts.
Why am I here? I asked myself. I was tired of living in this little tribe. I wanted to go out and see the world. But my Aunt and Uncle were scared to because of the war. They thought that the fire nation would kidnap me.
I mean I could bend not only Earth but fire. I guess I just inherited both of my parent's gifts. I never got too display my fire bending skills that much because my Aunt and Uncle made me keep it a secret. I understand why, but I felt like it was a waste. I mean like I loved fire bending. I was better at it too.
Just when I was in a lull state something snapped me out of it. I turned my head towards the tribe and saw smoke! The fire benders were here.
Running back to the tribe I saw that houses were burning to the ground. As the soldiers came through on their Rhinos, they pushed down buildings, people trampled in the stampede. I saw Aunt and Uncle running away.
"Chisai, Chisai!" They began to scream. They looked around in the hopes of seeing me. When they finally spotted me we both began to run towards each other. My aunt engulfed me in a hug when she saw me.
"Chisai, we need to runaway. We need to save you." My aunt said tears in her eyes.
Just then I saw a fireball hurdling towards my aunt. I panicked and made the Earth from the ground come up and create a shield.
She turned around when she heard the sizzling, eyes wide she saw what I had did. "Oh Chisai, you shouldn't have done that. They are coming to get benders. Now run, find your uncle he should be at the place. "
I nodded my head. Trying to run to the secret escape place that my uncle had made for us. As I tore my way down the heavily crowded street one of the soldiers had caught me. "No, bender is getting away." He said to me with a snarl.
I struggled to get away from him, but I couldn't. So I did something that was ever so bold. I made rocks come from the earth and made them hit the guard. He and the other soldiers were confused at first but then they knew what was happening.
"Get her!" One of the guards yelled.
I turned around and began to run bare foot to who knows where. When I finally felt like I had lost them I was rudely surprised to find that they were behind me. They caught me, pushing me down to the ground. Not allowing me to move at all.
"Okay, boss we got her!" the soldier call.
"Great now bring her here, but don't let her bend."
As the soldiers pulled me over to their ship I caught sight of my aunt. Tear stains dirtied her face. "Chisai!" She cried to me. She began to run to me but I shook my head. "Don't come." I mouthed.
She began to cry as the soldiers pulled me onto their ship. I looked back getting one last glimpse of her before they closed the doors to the ship.
My old life that I had known was now gone forever. I was no longer Chizu of the Earth Kingdom I was Chisai, the fire nation prisoner.
