Chapter one: Umi
Kenjin was the most powerful of the fire sages one thousand years ago. He governed the largest city in the Fire Nation; he had an amazing palace with winding stairways and magnificent fountains, and was very wealthy. But he was almost never happy after Umi left. It began the day his daughter was born up in the Northern Water Tribe, a couple of days after a meeting with the chief about mainly trying to create a standardized economy (which did not work out that well).
His wonderful wife, Muzummi had a child. But the child, still unnamed didn't seem to be alive at all. She was breathing, but her eyes wouldn't open. Her heartbeat was slowing and they knew that she was going to die. They sent her to all of the healers but no one could help. Umi was going to die. It was a new moon, and it was totally dark. Fear spread across the city as it darkened even more and the innocent child was growing closer to death. The chief solemnly laid out the child in the spirit oasis, faithfully believing it might help. Kenjin and his wife watched their child in the oasis, waiting for a moment, any moment, for her to begin crying.
After hours and hours, the discouraged people slowly drag them selves out of the home of the moon and ocean spirit. Until just when they opened the door to get out, a gleam came from the pool, and the child started crying. That very moment, was the only moment Kenjin ever smiled. He watched her short brown hair slowly become a shining sapphire that shimmered even without the moonlight to shine down on it, and her sharp amber eyes were drenched now in a lulling navy color. She actually looked entirely different, but she still looked beautiful.
The next day was all celebrating the fact that she lived even after everyone's spirits plummeted. On that very day, Muzummi gratefully named her child Umi, meaning "sea". Although nobody knew it, this child had more of a destiny than any of them could imagine.
To be continued. Hope you liked it (I know I did lol) and yes, this will have something to actually do with the show eventually.
