Today (Day 1)

I woke up it the midst of the night. I knew I had lost the fight but I had lost more than just the fight, I had lost my house and more importantly, my sister.

5 Years Ago

We were living 500 years after the end of the war. Peace was lasting in our nation, or so we thought. When I was 10 years old, meteors came to every part of the world and impacted every nation. Several benders of each nations tried 2 reduce the damage of this natural disaster, however many of them lost their lives, including my own parents. At age 10, I was living with the Southern water tribes with my parents and my sister. We were just beginning to be taught waterbending, and we were going to catch fish with it. As soon as my dad began to show me how to catch a fish, a meteor crushed his entire body. My mother called for the other tribesmen to help us free him but when we called for them, many meteors continued to fall. My mother tried to free him but by the time she did, he was already dead. All the water benders were called to reduce the damage from the meteors and prevent them from causing too much damage, but the meteors kept coming. While my mother was our igloo gathering our tools to evacuate, a meteor smashed into the igloo and killed her.

The Next Day

Word had spread to every nation of the meteors impact on every nation. We received word from a messenger hawk that the avatar was in a coma. The meteors had knocked him out while he continued to protect the eastern air temple as it was still a small nation although the war had ended long ago. Only 1 air bender survived other than the avatar, and then nation would disappear if they died. My sister, Susan, was what was left of my family in the Southern water tribe. She was 9 years old, young and still naïve. She had black hair and wore the water tribe coat with the water tribe's insignia. She showed me the new messages being sent out to every nation. As I read it she gathered what we had left: our clothing and the little food that remained. On the message I read, "To all nations: because of the current condition of the avatar, there is no one person to keep balance in the world. Therefore, we are requesting the formation of a group of leaders of every nation's survivors. This group would maintain balance in the world until the avatar awakens. Signed: Fire Lord Vrym. This formation of eventually became the Council of Nations. The leaders of the Water, Earth, and Fire nations and the last remaining air bender. This council began to send out benders from each nation to help out with the damage from the meteors. They eventually had a group of earth benders make a refugee island off the coast of the Northern water tribes. Rebirth isle is where Susan and I came to live our next 5 years, until that day.

Yesterday (Day 0)

"Kai wake up!"

"….." I continued to pretend as if I wasn't woken up.

"Wake up Kai; you have to come see what the messenger hawk brought!"

"Fine, fine… I'm awake." I said

It had been 5 years later, and I now lived on Rebirth isle. I am Kai Winters. I had lived in a small cabin in the rainforest with my sister these 5 years. I had black short hair, wore a black shirt with the water tribe insignia on it, black pants and carried a pocket full of marbles filled with water. They were used as weapons, but as for how, I'll tell more on later. I went to our small wooden table in the center of our cabin and began to read the message we received. We received a message everyday, as the messenger hawks gave us the news from each nation. It read, "Council of Nations buys out Rebirth isle. The Council has taken the island under their own ownership to create more facilities for jobs. They will begin to-"

"This is a load if shit!" I said, "They're not trying to create more jobs, they're going to just figure out a way to make more money!"

"I know that Kai" Susan said, "but there isn't much we can do. The council has 4 powerful benders to terrorize our people and there aren't too many bold enough to take them on."

"I know… that's why we've been training to take them down one day"

"But that day is not today" Susan said, "We have to be patient"

I went out that afternoon to fish for food. Although my parents never had the chance to teach us, I taught myself to bend the fish out of water. I brought a bucket of fish back to our cabin, and that's where things went downhill. I walked towards the cabin to see Susan and 2 other people arguing outside our cabin. I moved closer and began to speak.

"What's going on here?" I said.

"We have a warrant for the demolition of this cabin here and for all those who interfere; we have full rights to use force to do our job."

A woman said this. She was wearing a white shirt and pants. In the center of the shirt there was an insignia; a square with the insignia of the 4 nations inside.

"And just who are you?" I said.

"We are members of the Council of nation's protection squads. Now move aside"

The man said this; he wore the same clothing as the woman, but however looked much more serious.

"Well, since you both are here to protect us, why are you trying to destroy our home?!" Susan said.

"I won't say this again" the man said, "Move now!"

"Make us!" Susan said.

With that, the woman shot fire balls at the both of us.

"Watch out Susan!"

She moved away and shot a wave of water at the man.

Before the water had hit her, the man pulled up large earthen wall in front of her.

He sent that wall towards us but we both moved away from it.

I threw the water marbles in my pocket at both the man and woman and as they hit them, they were covered in water. I bent the water into ice and turned them into icicles.

"I think it's over Susan…"

"Yeah"

As we turned to go into our cabin, the icicle began to melt as the woman burned it up.

"you didn't honestly think it'd be this easy, did you?"

She began to send waves of fire at us one after the other.

Susan and I began to pull the water from the plants around us and made a wall of water.

As the fire and water evaporated, the man sent a large stone at me.

It hit me and knocked me into the side of my house, knocked out cold.

Today (Day 1)

I woke up it the midst of the night. I knew I had lost the fight but I had lost more than just the fight, I had lost my house and more importantly, my sister. The house was no longer there, just ashes from the wood were left. As I looked, I saw my sister Susan with burn marks across her chest. I was going to heal her, but as I touched her arm, I couldn't find a pulse.
