Hey everyone,

So I let my friend, Mermaid Caren, post this on her profile while I was getting my account set up. I'm really happy you liked my story, but I add a little more now, to the Prologue. I hope you like it!

BTW, I don't own Avatar!

Prologue

They were basically opposites. She was calm as the water she bended. He was like fire, very fierce.

Both were on different sides, her on the avatar's, and him, on his father's. What she didn't know was that, he left his father, just to be with her.

Time past, every moment they met, she began to see his good side. After she finally accepted him, they became friends. He though, didn't want to be friends. Ever since their eyes met when the avatar first escaped his grasp, Zuko couldn't get Katara out of his mind.

Opposites attract. They always do. But, this story is different, it all starts at the beginning again. All because Zuko gets a second chance, he met me. The time spirit. The only soul in the spirit realm that resembles a human. Though, I look quite different, with my waist length golden hair. Enough of me, so shall I tell you the time he came to me, for help?

I think I should.

The spirit world can be entered during the solstices, due to the closeness of the mortal world. But in order to get their safely and surely, the avatar can grant safe passage. Somehow, Zuko was able to get into the spirit realm with Aang's help. Though, I would really like to find out how he did it, but it's too late, time has already been turned back.

Anyway, this was when I first met him

Wandering was all I did at my home in the center of the spirit world. No one ever needed the time spirit, because everyone accepted they way everything that was their destiny. Humans could have fought back and seeked me out, but no one ever came onto my doorstep, asking for a favor, until someone knocked on my door.

"Come in."

The wooden door opens and in steps in a fire noble. His blood red robes, slightly ripped and burned. A scar marked one side of his face, rugged and jagged. Looking around, he seems not to have noticed me. I spoke, "Might you need something, mortal?"

He flinches at the sound of my voice, and turns towards me, golden eyes looking into my multicolored ones, and then they scan me, up and down. Now he speaks, his voice deep, "I'm seeking the time spirit, where might it be?"

"You are speaking to 'it'."

I said, smiling sweetly. He goes down on one knee and bows. This angers me. "Please stand mortal!"

Compiling, his eyes look toward my face, but then look away. "You are most beautiful than other spirits."

I glare. "Flattery will get you no where. Follow me, you wish to talk about you desire, I presume?"

Cheeks red as the clothes he wears, he follows me down the foyer, and to a wooden door, that I push open, to reveal a room that has only a chaise, couch, and small table. I lie down on the chaise, letting my purple silk dress flow out. Looking over at the him, who is still standing near the door, I order, "Sit."

I gesture to the couch across from me. He sits and stays quiet, then speaks, "I wish t-"

"Go back in time and make Katara fall for you, Zuko?"

He grips the armrest of the chair, glaring, "How do you know my name?"

"Must you ask such a stupid question?"

If looks could kill, I would be dead. Noticing where his hand grips the armrest, I notice it once brown color go black. I sigh. "I'm the time spirit. My powers are seeing into the future and going back into the past."

"Your powers also include, are that you can send someone back or forward in time."

I smirk. "I do. Now tell me your desire, and I'll say if I want to grant it or not."

He yells. "Don't you already know?"

"I do, but I want to hear it from you."

Again, he glares, then blushes, but looks down, he whispers, "I wish to go back to the past and make Katara mine."

"Selfish your desire is, don't you already have Mai?"

He sighs. "Katara is the one I want and love. Mai only had some of the same qualities of her. It's the only reason I stayed with her."

Closing my eyes, I access his memories. Felling the pain of losing his mother, sorrow of rejection of his father, and little happiness he received when being with Katara.

I knew my decision.

"Zuko. I stand and walk in front of him, his eyes following my every movement. "I'll grant you desire and wish, on one condition."

"Condition?"

"Everything has a price Zuko."

Looking at his face, I notice how aged it looks, for what he's been through, his age is 18, but he could pass for 25. He thinks it over and asks, "What is the condition?"

"My condition is if you fail to make Katara yours, you will become my consort."

"Consort?"

Smiling, I bend down and whisper into his ear, "You know I'm not like other spirits, I don't exactly live forever, even if I'm in the spirit world. Due to my powers, I have to pass them on to the next time spirit, which is my daughter. But she isn't born yet."

"Isn't born yet?"

"She hasn't come into existence yet. Also, I'm lonely. In order to produce my daughter, I need a mortal man. You will be this mortal man if you don't get Katara."

He is silent for a long time, but nods.

Holding out my hand, it glows a soft golden, then disappears. Replacing the glow is a golden chain. A small circle hangs from the golden chain, with the kanji for time on it." Take this."

I let the chain slide from my fingers and let it fall into his open palm, he looks at me questionably. "During your time in the past, I'll give you advice, you are free to choose to listen or ignore it. Also, if you need anything, tap the circle two times."

Nodding his head, I place my hands on the side of his face. He asks, "What are you doing?"

"This is the only way to put you back in the past. But before I send you, I have one rule."

"What is it now?"

I smile at his impatience, if only he knew when I was sending him. "You are not to tell anyone what has happen in the future, and-"

"I thought there was only one?"

"Do you want to go back or not?"

He shuts his mouth, and looks at me intently. I whisper into his ear, "You are not to let the chain leave you, if you do, I won't be able to talk to you or," I pause.

"Or what?"

"I'd rather not say, so just don't lost the chain."

He sighs. "It that all?"

"Yes. Now, I will send you to any time plane I choose, so relax."

He does, and I bring my lips to his. Soon, he vanishes from site. I smirk. I should have just touch his forehead, but he needs to learn that it is not best to keep a level head all the time, best to show more emotions.

I should contact him but he should get settled in his sixteen year old body.
