So, each chapter will go back and forth, from present, to past, and present again. So, Aila's story will unravel like this, instead of long flashbacks. I'll warn you now: Some chapters will be WAY shorter than others. This is the prologue, and I wanted to start the story without actually starting it, so this happened. Next chapter will be much longer.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own the Avatar series.
Chapter One: Prologue
The Fire Nation couple smiled down at their new daughter. It had been a long pregnancy, but the poor couple was now just happy that their baby had survived, and thankful for their family, and all that they had.
The doctor came over to them, and smiled.
"Your new baby daughter is healthy, and will survive."
The mother smiled, very carefully smoothing out the little hair her daughter had, and gently laid down her daughter in a cradle, draping a red and black Fire Nation cloth over her.
Nothing could describe the relief and happiness that she felt right now.
After a long time of standing, and staring into their beautiful child's light brown hair, and amber eyes, the father whispered into his wife's ear.
"What is her name?" he asked.
After a moment of thought, the mother replied, "Aila, meaning light bearer."
"Then she will bear the light in our world," the father said, and hugged his wife as they looked lovingly at their baby.
The man had no idea that he had just uttered a prophecy, and that when little baby Aila grew up, she would be known as the Avatar, the bridge between our world, and the spirit world.
