Prologue
Once upon a time, there was a couple. They were not in their homeland though. The couple was of the Water Tribe but their home was in the Fire Nation. The woman was with child and was due soon.
The woman had her child, a son. Delighted, they named him Sokka. A year and a half later, the woman became pregnant again. This time she had a daughter. The daughter was beautiful. Her beautiful cerulean eyes were bright and alert. Her dark brown hair was downy and her soft brown skin was smooth. They named the girl Katara.
When Katara was three, they discovered she was a Waterbender. However, the family had no well on their property. Their neighbor, the witch Jun, had a well however. Katara climbed over the wall between their houses every day in order to practice waterbending. However, one day, Jun looked out of her window and saw Katara. Jun then demanded Katara. Her parents' pleas fell on deaf ears. It was Katara or their entire family's death. So the parents wept as Jun bid them goodbye. Jun then spirited herself and Katara farther into the Fire Nation, into its very heart.
