Chapter 1
Strangest Day
Aang decided that today was the strangest days of his life. It was way stranger than the day the Fire Lord died and named his heir, stranger than Sokka becoming an Earth Kingdom warrior, and even stranger than the nomads that he had met many years before.
The Fire Nation had called peace, which wasn't to strange if you consitered the new Fire Lord. The Water Tribes wouldn't be satisfied with the new peace treaty until the Fire Lord married their Feircest warrior. That part was a little strange.
Aang had been asked to come help keep the peace between the battling tribes until after the wedding had taken place. He had made comprimises between the two completely different traditions. The goal was to keep both traditions while not contriticting them.
Now that the day of the wedding had come, and the Fire and Water nations would be combined. Aang was exausted.
According to Water Traditions, the bride and groom knew who the other were, but by the Fire Traditions, they were not allowed to see each other once the engagment was set.
Often there would be fights about clothing, food or the actual cerimony. Aang had come up with crazy ideas for every fight. One could tell by simply looking at the groom's outfit that fights were made regularly.
He stood at the front of two rows of people. On the left side were seated Fire Nation roalty, and on the right, Water Tribe friends. One would find themselves lauging at his apparal. The Fire Nation armor and ponytail would have looked fine if it had not been in blue. His veil, that covered the top half of his face, was also icy blue, but was covered with red sequins.
Suddenly the sound of drums blazed passed the ears of the watchers. They all stood (the groom a little taller) as a traditional Fire Nation royal chair carried by four water tribe warriors appeared. A huge wall of flame sprang up from the left side of the clearing while large tendrils of water bent and froze together in the Water Tribe Symbol on the right.
The chair was set down and the curtians parted to reveal a vision in Water Tribe Red. The fur encased her body and fell nearly to the floor. As she walked, one couldn't help but want to laugh when her Fire Nation Sandles poked out. Instead of watching her feet, all eyes were on her red half veil, that shimmered with blue sequins, making her look like a maiden within a frozen fire.
She was escorted up the isle by the four warriors tha thad carried her chair. She stumbled slightly on the stairs, but caught herself.
She stood on the landing, and Aang took both their hands and led them to the other's veil. The slightly shaking hands lifted their betroth's veil.
