Avatar + Vampire

Chapter 1

Tsukune, 15 year old Airbender, had striking blue eyes that looked like a vast ocean swirling in his irises, uncommon for an Airbender, and short brown hair barely covering his arrow tattoos. He was the Eternal Avatar. Granted, he was immortal; a gift, and a curse. it was very rare for an Eternal Avatar to be born. the last one was the First Avatar.

He died by suicide after a long and lonely life of 4,238 years. Though Tsukune was an Airbender, he was known to have a short fuse if you blew the wrong circuit. He was just told last month that he was the Avatar. Not only that, but he was immortal. Because of another attack from the Fire nation, the Elder Airbenders planned an escape for Tsukune… to another dimension.

There, he will being a new destiny. One of love, life, and happiness. And dangers...

"Anikki~," Tsukune tiptoed up the steps that led to the bison pavilion at the Southern Air Temple.

"Anikki," Tsukune repeated, closing in on the snoozing sky bison. "I finished my lessons early today, so we can have some fun!" The beast gave an annoyed groan and turned his head away from the young Airbender as if to say, "Five more minutes!"

"Aw, come on, Anikki!" Tsukune pleaded with his best friend. "If you wake up, I've got something I know you'll like!" Tsukune took a red apple from behind his back and waved it in front of the bison's nose.

Anikki sniffed, and then ever so slightly raised one eyelid to look at the treat he was being bribed with.

"Got your attention now, don't I?" Tsukune grinned, very pleased with himself.

Anikki snorted and closed his eye again. He would not be taken advantage of that easily.

Tsukune frowned. He had expected this. "Really, Anikki? Okay, fine," The young Airbender turned around and sighed dejectedly, then swiftly airbended another apple from a hiding place on the steps into his free hand.

The breeze from the young master's bending sent the smell of apples wafting into the bison's nostrils, and he was on his six feet before you could say "hogmonkey!"

"Okay, how about two-" Tsukune put on his best haggler face and held the two apples out in front of him, but they were gone before he finished his proposition.

"Ha ha!" Tsukune laughed as he wiped bison saliva off of his hands and onto his shirt. "Guess that answers that question!" Tsukune rubbed Anikki on the top of his head as he finished eating his mid-morning snack.

"So where do you want to go today?" Tsukune asked the bison as he stomped over to the water trough. "We could go back to that giant glacier we found last week. Or maybe that ice flow with the family of penguins? Hmm…" Tsukune scrunched up his face, thinking hard. "Oh, I know! Let's go back to the place where the ice was really thin and we could see fish looking up at us! But, I don't remember where that was. Do you, buddy?"

Anikki stopped lapping water to look at Tsukune with a sopping wet mug that said, "You're the person with opposable thumbs and a map!"

"Yeah, yeah, I know," Tsukune waved off Anikki's glare. "Well, let's just fly around and see what we discover. Does that sound like a good plan?"

Anikki licked Tsukune from toes to head in reply.

"Ha ha!" Tsukune laughed as he climbed onto Anikki's head and took the reins. "Okay, buddy. Yip yip!" with that, Anikki raised his large tail and slammed it down and took off into the sky.

"There is nothing to see out here!" Tsukune exclaimed in disappointment. "You would think since it's Spring more animals would be out playing!" Tsukune gave a frustrated "Hmph!" as he crossed his arms and sat back against Anikki's saddle.

Anikki gave an 'mmnnnnggggghhhh', as if scolding Tsukune for his sour attitude.

"I know," Tsukune pouted. "All of the animals are probably still in their dens. It only just turned spring, after all." Tsukune fixed his gaze on the horizon filled with endless chunks of ice. "So what do you want to do?"

Anikki roared softly in a vote of indifference.

"Me neither. Why don't we go check out those blocks of ice?" Tsukune suggested.

Anikki snorted his opinion.

"Yeah, I guess we've seen too much empty ice for today. We could go visit Kaila," Tsukune looked at the sky and judged the time from the position of the sun. "Never mind. It's the middle of the afternoon already. We wouldn't have enough time to go to Kyoshi and back," Tsukune grinned to himself as he thought of his Airbending master. "Plus Tenzen would be mad we didn't take him with us to see Madame Hinoma." Tsukune laughed and Anikki chimed in with what seemed like a chuckle.

Tsukune's harmonious laugh faded into a sigh as he said, "I guess we better turn back now, huh?"

Anikki gave a melancholy roar in resignation.

"Okay," Tsukune twisted the reins and Anikki made a U-turn.

Tsukune looked down at his and Anikki's reflection in the water and yawned. "I didn't realize I was tired," Tsukune mused.

Anikki yawned as well, adding weight to Tsukune's already heavy eyelids.

Tsukune spotted a glacier just ahead of them that seemed like it was made especially for Anikki.

"I woke you up from your nap this morning, didn't I?" Tsukune asked Anikki sleepily. Anikki snorted in confirmation. "Well," Tsukune yawned. "Let's go home buddy." After a short flight, Tsukune and Anikki made it back and were in for a surprise. Tenzen, his Airbending master, had Tsukune's staff and a bag of fire, water, earth and a few complex Airbending scrolls with him. "Tsukune. The time has come. Your duty as the Avatar is now in effect." Tenzen said with a hint of grief.

"Will you all be alright?" Tsukune asked. "He he, I am sure we will be fine, young one. But whatever may occur, you must stay safe." With that, Tsukune and Anikki headed towards the stream that lead to a different dimension and formed a cryogenic sphere around the two.
