"Taizo, we have been married for ten years and still have no child" a woman of about thirty yelled at her husband after he inquired to her sadness. She wanted a child more than anything in the world and could not bear one of her own.
She wept in her chair with her hands covering her face. Her husband could only provide words of comfort and hope even though he knew that their hopes would only be that, hope.
"Why don't you go to bed, I'll finish cleaning up" he helped her up and started to finish cleaning up their meal. When he finished he quietly snuck upstairs to where his wife had cried herself to sleep again. He shut the door and snuck back downstairs and out the door. He walked out to his favorite spot to think and pray. The wind picked up and swirled around him as he stood on the clearing.
"Spirits, I have asked nothing of you, and now I would like to. My wife and I have tried for ten years to conceive a child and we have failed. Please give us a blessing of a child. I would like to offer you a sacrifice in return. I would like to sacrifice this small amount of money, it isn't much, but it is all that I have to offer. Please take it and bless us, I beg you" the man wiped his tears and dropped his money on a rock.
He returned home that night and could only lay in bed, not able to shut his eyes for more than a blink.
When dawn approached he rose and preformed his usual chores with his wife. He was in the middle of fishing when the wind picked up severely and he heard the sudden cry of a baby. The man looked around and knew that no one in the tribe was around, and that no one lived on the South Pole besides his tribe.
"Taizo, do you hear that" his wife asked. The man dropped fish. He paddled as quickly as he could towards the clearing, his wife struggling to keep up with his pace. When they reached the shore the man jumped out not bothering to tie up the canoe and dashed towards the clearing. A tiny buddle of blankets was placed on the rock instead of the small bag of money where the man had left his sacrifice the night before.
"Taizo, it's a baby" the woman gasped. The woman picked the bundle of blankets up in her arms and looked upon the face of her adopted daughter. The babe had beautiful shimmering green eyes. Much like the finest emeralds the King of Ba Sing Se owned. The small amount of hair that the babe had was an uncommon color of dirty blonde, and was gathered around her head in curls.
"Thank you" the man said into the open air and embraced his wife and new child.
"What shall we call her" the woman asked excitedly.
"Kaiko" the man breathed starring at the now sleeping babe, "for that's what she is. She's a blessing."
A/U: Kaiko is pronounced like (Kay-Ko). Taizo is (Ta-zoo). Sorry that the first chapter was really short but it's sort of a prologue. XD Hope you enjoyed it. Reviews, critique, and suggestions are welcome. :)
