I know I shouldn't be starting a new fic but I really like the plot.
Once upon a time, there was a war. Now this war went on for more than a hundred years. You've heard from bedtime stories that it was ended by five very powerful children. But its about time you learned the story of what happened to the children, after it was over.
Chapter 1
Happiness
The sound of running resounded off the hard tiles of the island castle. A tall man with dark as night hair kicked an old door off it's hinges and ran into the small room. He looked around slowly when a flash of dull red caught him in a hug. He looked at the woman and immediately returned the hug. He felt dampness on his shoulder and realized the woman was crying. She released her hug and looked him in the face. He smiled.
"Zuko. My son. It's over isn't it?" He nodded and led her out of her prison in a comfortable silence. Her golden eyes widened at the sight of a giant bison.
"Mom. I'd like you to meet my friends." One by one, teenagers appeared from behind the giant creature.
"Hello. It's very nice to meet you."
"Hi. I'm Aang." She shook his hand and stared at him intently for a few seconds.
"You're the Avatar." She stated happily.
"Yup. That's me." A pale girl with dark hair stood next to him.
"Lady Ursa, it is such a pleasure to meet you. I am On Ji." She bowed, fist in palm. Ursa smiled and noticed a tall, dark girl stood smiling kindly in front of her.
"My names Katara. It's so great to finally meet you." She shook her hand lightly and nodded.
"Ursa." A boy about Zuko's age came and shook her hand heartily.
"My names Sokka. Nice to meet you!" She smiled kindly at him. At last, a small girl barely in her teens, made her way up to her.
"Hi. I'm Toph." Ursa didn't know why, but she hugged the small girl. She let go and smiled.
"You helped him." Toph had a confused look on her face but smiled anyway.
"Hey Mom? A lot's happened since you've been gone…" She came up to her son and traced his scar. Ozai…did this to him… she thought. She brought her hand down and he continued.
"A lot has changed. Would you like to see?" She nodded and boarded the animal. She wondered how they would get off the island on this creature. And with a call of 'yip-yip' she was terrified. She clutched onto Zuko the entire way to the Fire Nation Capital. When the bison landed she was very grateful. She took in the scenery and noticed an important trait to the palace.
"Where's Azula?" The others sighed and Zuko took her arm.
"I think you can help her." They walked down into the ancient refuge under the palace and made it to a steel door. Zuko took out a small key and opened it slowly.
"Azula? You have a visitor." He spoke kindly to his distraught sister.
"Azula!" Ursa ran to her daughter and enveloped her in a hug. Azula cried in her mothers arms.
"You… you think I'm a monster." Azula whimpered.
"No Azula. I love you." She hugged tighter. Azula hugged her back. Zuko smiled.
"You're not lying."
"Of course not honey. I'd never lie about that. Ever." They got off the ground and Azula looked at Zuko. He smiled at her. She put on her first genuine smile he'd ever seen on her.
"Your father…" It quickly disappeared. An awkward silence filled the room.
"Is never going to hurt anyone again. Aang took away his bending. He's in prison right now." Zuko led his family out of the bunker and met with his friends before letting them see Azula.
"All she needed… was her. Azula is absolutely fine right now, so don't do anything to upset her." They nodded collectively. He gave them a second glance and opened the large door.
"Hi." Azula said smiling. This crept out the group.
"Umm… hi." Aang replied. Azula sighed and bit her lip.
"Listen, I'm sorry about everything I've done to you…" No one could answer.
"It's okay." Toph smiled.
"Thank you."
The rest of the night was spent telling stories to Ursa, some good, some bad, but she loved them all. She was so happy her children finally saw the truth. She never expected to see them again. They had friends who cared about them. They were like a big happy family.
The thing about family though, it only takes one person to screw it up.
Questions to be answered:
Will Ursa want to see Ozai?
Who's gonna mess up the happy family?
Why am I asking you these questions?…
A/N: I didn't really like the whole Ursa-Azula reuniting part… Oh well. Review for me to figure out if this should be continued.
