In a time where the Fire Nation ruled by fear, there came a hope. The Avatar; master of the four elements, earth, fire, water, and wind. Though this air bending Avatar was young, and inexperienced, he saved the four great nations with help; Katara a water-bender and her brother Sokka, two villagers from the south pole, Toph the blind earth bender, and Zuko the banished prince of the Fire Nation. After Sozin's comet had passed, and the Fire Lord defeated, Aang, our young but brave avatar, confessed his long existing feelings for Katara, who returned them. But as years passed, and with them, change. Though being good friends and lovers, Katara and Aang could not seem to find the spark that had existed when they were children. Though it brought them short pain, they separated. Also Zuko, the new fire lord, found that he, for a second time, could not connect to his fiancé, Mai. Though he loved her, the love, he found, was becoming something brittle, almost empty. Mai, on the other hand, had found a new love, a great general in the army. Wanting Mai to be happy, Zuko broke the engagement, breaking his heart along with it. Another year of peace passed, and soon a great festival took place, marking the day that fear was concurred. At the fire palace, a gathering was made of ambassadors from each nation, all coming to see old friends. Aang and Katara where still friends, having realized that their separation was for the best. Sokka came with his love Suki, their little son Tokken clinging to his mother's skirt. Toph arrived, appearing regal and poised, yet also strong, no longer the china doll her parents made her out to be. Zuko stood apart from the others, not because of his scar, but because of his heart ache. The other's had come, lighthearted and gay, yet he could not shake the pain of knowing that Mai could not love him. Soon the hours passed, and a fire lord was missing. Out of curiosity and worry Katara slipped away, silently wandering the halls until she came upon him, quietly looking out into the royal gardens, a look of woe and pain painted across his handsome face. The image took Katara by surprise, her heart giving a flutter it hadn't shown in years. Unknowing to her, it was the moment that her heart was given to Zuko. Coming to his side, she simply wrapped her arms around him, resting her head on his shoulder, giving him silent support, a friend to lean upon. Zuko looked down at the young woman in shock. They were good friends, having saved each other's lives, but the feeling of sudden warmth that blossomed in his chest took him by surprise. Wanting to keep the wonderful warming feeling, he encircled his arms around the water-bender, unknowing that at that moment, love's arrow had pierced his heart. While in the garden two opposites drew together, another pair also were pulled by attraction. Aang was not entirely surprised by the change in Toph. As a young girl she had been rough, not taking a moment for grace, but now her steps were seamless, but her sharp wit and tongue were still intact. Toph, on the other hand felt lost. Her heart had always held a place for Aang, a place that had grown larger in every passing year. At hearing the news of Aang's separation made her excited yet nervous at the same time. Now Aang looked upon her, seeing the subtle beauty in her pale eyes, her porcelain skin. His heart became like his glider, taking the air to fly into her hands, to wait verdict. She accepted his signs of affection, giving her own. Soon love and romanced bloomed fully, the new found lovers finding what they were looking for in each other's arms. Katara fulfilled Zuko's only wish, becoming his Fire Lady without a moment's delay, while Aang swept Toph off her feet, asking her to be his. After weddings of love and cheer, the new found families were blessed with the gift of children, though Katara and Zuko faced a challenge with their love. The people of the Fire Nation where worried of the weakening of their royal blood line, demanding that if the child could not bend fire, or at worst, showed signs of being a water bender, that they must relinquish their claim to the throne. Katara and Zuko worried over their child's future, but still kept hope for the best. To their surprise and horror, when their child was born, they showed the ability to bend both elements, one with each hand. The people could not argue that this heir could not be adequate to fill the expectations as a ruler, but parliament made clear that the child must pass and Agni Kan with another who was also fit to take the throne, and that they must marry a person of stature and a fire bender...
