Authors notes I don't own Avatar The Last Airbender and this is completely AU to the series just a warning to some fans who like certain characters like Aang, Katara and Sokka they wont be in this fic. Any notice to anyone who's read my previous ATLA fics Kalo will be human in this fic.
Chapter 1 waiting for nothing and decisions about the future
As the sounds of partying in the streets of the town were heard by the man in the hotel he didn't go down to join the townspeople in their celebration of the war with the Fire Nation coming to an end after so long with the defeat of Fire Lord Ozai at the hands of the Avatar Aang.
There were several reasons why the man didn't go down to join in the party the first being that he knew that this victory wasn't the end of all wars just this war and he had a felling that somehow war would start up again either with a Fire Nation coup d'etat against the new Fire Lord Zuko by elements of the army who were loyal to Ozai now imprisoned for life in the Fire Nation.
War could also start up again by people in the Water Tribes and Earth Kingdom who had lost everything in the war and who no doubt wanted revenge for what the Fire Nation did, the raids of the Southern Water Tribe, burning down entire Earth Kingdom towns and villages and killing thousands if not millions of people throughout the entire conflict and most importantly the complete genocide of the Air Nomads over a hundred years ago by the Fire Nation army on the orders of Fire Lord Sozin.
The last 2 reason why the man didn't go down was that he was from the Fire Nation and he didn't care as he knew he wouldn't be around much longer anyway as he was dying.
The man then stood up from his hotel bed and looked in the dusty mirror in front of him at his reflection of a tall man with gold eyes, black hair and a look that signified that he didn't care one way or another what happened in the war.
The man also had a look in his eyes of a man who had seen so much in his life but had also done so much horrific things as well. The man remembered everything that he did the Fire Nation army all the innocent people who's lives he had ruined when he was carrying out the orders of his superiors but then over time as he was rose through the ranks of the army no longer was he getting the orders to do horrible things it was now him giving the orders out to young men and women who were soon turning from teenagers into murderers.
As the man sat back down on the bed he grabbed a nearby bottle of beer and drank it as he wanted to fall asleep drunk so he wouldn't see her face again, even thinking of her hurt him in so many ways. Her blonde hair, her green eyes and her smile all were now memories of a life that seemed so long ago and that belonged to someone else not the drunk dying man who feel asleep shortly after drinking the beer. And as his eyes closed Kalo Tzhang smiled as the alcohol finally took effect.
As he feel asleep Kalo was happy he wouldn't dream of her but while he was free from some nightmares he wasn't free from all of them. He was then trapped in nightmares of his past in the army as well as some of his family whom he hadn't contacted in years. But unknown to them Kalo had contacts who kept watch for them especially his sister Mai when he heard she was imprisoned in the Boiling Rock prison along with her childhood friend Ty Lee for treason against the Fire Nation by the order of Ozai's daughter Azula Kalo had considered going there himself to free them but he knew if he did he would have a lot to explain to them like why he faked his own death years ago and why he hadn't contacted Mai or their parents for so long if he was alive and Kalo didn't want to face that, he didn't want Mai to worry about him, he wanted her to live life to the full and be happy with Zuko.
Kalo always knew those two liked each other ever since they were children and he was happy that his little sister had found her soul mate and wished them long happy lives together.
However Kalo knew 1 simple thing he didn't deserve a happy ending to his life not after all that happened already in his and he was going to die alone but content he had done what he could to ensure peace for the world after the end of this war and first thing he needed to do to ensure that was to find the leader of the Dai Li Long Feng and kill him.
With Long Feng dead the Earth King Kuei would be able to rule over the Earth Kingdom without fear of the Dai Li staging another takeover of Ba-Sing-Se. And that would ensure the Earth Kingdom remained stable and didn't fall apart in civil war.
Meanwhile a young female bounty hunter was riding through town on her Shirshu Nyla and as she looked at the bounty notice in her hand for Dai Li leader Long Feng following his escape from the Fire Nation she smiled as she saw the reward was 50 thousand gold pieces dead or alive.
June immediately made up her mind as she left town and headed off to find an area she could set up camp and rest for the night as rain started to fall from the sky. Starting tomorrow she was going to look for Long Feng and she was going to find him and get the reward money and all that mattered to her now was how long it took till that happened.
Authors notes well that's chapter 1 completed let me know what you think of it read and review no flames though ok. And i recommend readers check out fics written by Appa Appa Away and SaphirePhoenix101 as they are 2 of the best authors on this site in my opinion.
