If you have read my other story, Not Me, then the two OC in this story will make you kinda go , Aha. But if not enjoy. I'm just experimenting with OC's and as always constructive critisism is welcomed, but flames? Just don't faze me. If you don't like it just say so, you don't have to be rude.
It was always forbidden. Two benders from different elements were not allowed to be together. That rule was made long before the war and during the time of the first avatar. It was deteremined that for two benders to come together would be a dangerous combination. If they found it imperable that they have a relationship, no offspring must come of it.
That was until the twins were born. They became the execption and the reason for the rule. A powerful fire lord, had become intwined with a water tribe soveriegn. Thus creating freaks of nature. A powerful duo, an unspeakable power.
Zana, and Kiroh.
Katara looked up into the mirror and smoothed her hair. She smiled. Today was going to be a good day. She stood up her long flowing ruby colored night gown hanging rather snuggly over her swollen stomach. Her husband was throwing a party, a ball rather, for their eldests. Today they were sixteen. She smiled in rememberance. She was sixteen when she fell in love with Fire Lord Zuko.
It was when her dearest friend Aang, had finally defeated the Fire Lord Ozai. And believe it was no easy task. Aang's power had been drained to the maximum and he could bearly move. Then the unthinkable happened. The then exiled Prince Zuko stepped forward helping the young avatar to his feet. The only reason that Zuko had brought the Avatar, after finally capturing him, to his father, was for the defeat of his father. Zuko had been sent on a misson to bring the avatar to the Fire Lord, never truly understanding why. But once the prince had figured it out, his plan of revenge and plot to regain his throne fell into place.
After a heated discussion and choice words thrown about by the two water bending siblings, the avatar and the prince, an alliance and pact were formed. It seemed that the motives of the two enemies were one in the same.
The Avatar was to destroy the Fire Lord. And the Prince wanted to have his throne and free his people of the oppressing tryany of his father before him.
As Zuko was helping Aang, Katara ran to the avatar's side. She wanted to help as well. Over the few months that they had been traveling as 'prisoners' aboard Zuko's ship the four had became quite close. Aang now trusted his one time enemy with his life. The only one that truly remained skeptical was Sokka, but then again he never trusted anybody.
Katara sighed and turned as she heard the door open. Her attendant, Masia, stuck her head in and cleared her throat nervously.
"Come on in." Katara smiled pulling her friend in by the arm. Masia's golden eyes flicked about the room. Something was wrong.
"What is it?"
"The twins. There gone again." Katara let out a sigh and told Masia to inform their father. She shook her head and let her hand rest upon her tummy. She smiled as the small form moved inside her.
"I hope to the gods you aren't as much trouble as you'rebrother and sister."
Kiroh looked down from the tree he was sitting in. His sister was walking back and forth on the ground below. He rolled his eyes and leaned his head back.
"Would you calm down. You know we have to attend this thing, or Father will be all over us and the lashings will begin." He smiled down at his twin. Zana nodded her head as she bit her fingernails. She stopped and looked up at him.
Today they both were to be recognized infront of the entire nation as the dual heirs to the throne. They were different from all the rest. In more ways then one. They were to take over the nation as a partnership, as demanded by their father, Fire Lord Zuko. But that wasn't what had the girl's nerves worked up. Sure they had been shown to the nation several times, but everytime they even walked down the street of the market they would get stairs. They were twins. A male and female born with identical looks. Identical twins. But that wasn't the weird part. Their eyes made them different. They each dawned a eye of gold and an eye of blue. Kiroh's left eye was blue where his right eye was gold, and Zana was the exact opposite. The reasoning for this miraculous goof. Their parents. Going against all rules their parents had fallen madly in love with one another. Their father took their mother as his Lady when he regained his Lordship. They were the first born and because of this, the Water Tribe traits along with their home nation traits had a wreck. They were born that way.
But the oddest thing of all was what they had learned when the were around six or seven. They learned the reason it was truly forbidden for two benders to have children. Kiroh and Zana both were benders. You might think that one could control water, while the other fire. Not exactly, the twins had the power over both.
Kiroh's water bending however was more powerful and more precise then his fire bending. Where again Zana was the opposite.
Kiroh jumped down from his tree and grabbed his sister by the shoulders.
"Everything will be fine." Zana smiled deviously and shook her head.
"You know that Mother and Father are going to insist that today be the day you cut your hair, don't you?" Kiroh frowned, his hair was his treasure. The two of them besides their mother were the only people in the nation with brown hair opposed to black, and he had let his grow very long.
"That is not going to happen." Zana laughed and nodded.
"You wait. I bet you ten copper dad will through a fit." Kiroh looked at her and grabbed her hand making the bet solid.
"Prince Kiroh! Princess Zana! Your parents are looking all over for you?" It was one of thier father's attendants. Kiroh grabbed then man by the collar.
"Must you always yell?" He set the smaller man back down and looked at his sister.
"It seems we are being wanted?" Zana nodded and looked at the messenger.
"Tell the Lord and Lady that we are only preparing ourselves and will be in shortly." The man nodded and walked off to deliver his message.
Katara had finally dressed when Zuko came to see about her. She turned and smiled weakly at her husband. He came over to her and looked over her with worried eyes.
"I will not have you making yourself weak. If you need you will stay here." Katara frowned. Almost seventeen years of marriage and he still felt as if he could order her around.
"I am fine. And I will do no such thing. This isn't the first time I was pregnant and you know that." She snapped at him. Zuko let out a sigh and nodded in defeat.
"Chief Sokka is here and is demanding to see his nephews and niece. The idiot won't leave me alone." Katara smiled. There was always going to be that little rivalry between her brother and her husband just for the pure fact that she had married. It wouldn't have really mattered who it was, Sokka wasn't going to like anyone that took his baby sister away.
Let me know what ya think. And as always with my stories. If you don't like them, I will take them down, to keep everyone happy.
