Author's Note: Hello everyone! This is the first chapter of LONG LIVE THE AVATAR. So it's rather short. But I'm already writing the next one which will be much longer...
I own nothing except my many OCs ^^
The Child
„So… It's her, isn't it?" Suki whispered – unsure of feeling proud or gloomy.
The council of the White Lotus was a bunch of old men in blue and white colored robes. The most serious looking one nodded with a bow. Another one pointed at the toys her little girl was playing with on the ground at the moment while another member of the White Lotus sat smilingly nearby and held his little finger to her which she immediately grabbed.
"The decision is made – no other child in the Earthkingdom chose the four toys of the Avatar except your baby daughter, woman" the one who pointed to the toys said with a ceremonial voice – she was not sure but thought to remember that his name was Daisuke. Baby Girl threw the toy that represented the water tribes against the head of the man sitting next to her who introduced himself as Botan. He rubbed his forehead and blushed – well… The little bit of skin that was uncovered by the brown shoulder-length hair and the short thick full beard blushed while the rest stayed unseen.
"Don' worry" Botan said – who seemed to be the youngest of the men "She won' be taken from ya – your peninsula is a great place fo' practicing her skills the next yea's." He stood up and flattened his robe as far as his remarkable huge tummy allowed it. "Masters will come to teach her the different elements and other skills an Avatar needs to know. Here you have good conditions with the beach nearby and the untouched nature. Don' want to think about how all this would have been managed if we had found the new Avatar in the desert…" He grinned widely and tucked one of his comrades with the elbow. It was the serious one – Hong – who ignored him obviously annoyed. He was a slim man with pale skin and black hair. His features were sharp and cold and the bun on his head was tight – as it seemed just like the man who belonged to it. Botan was his very reverse: Small, chubby and warmhearted.
"So" Suki felt a load off her mind "I can take care of her – and can even stay at home?"
"That's what it seems like" Botan retorted in a funny tone and smiled a wide frightening huge grin "The only thing we need now is very important…" Suki felt a lump in her throat. Botan kneeled down to Baby Girl once again.
"What's the name of our new, little, tiny, incy, wincy Avatar at all?!" he asked in a high pitched tone and nipped Baby Girl's cheek carefully whereupon the child threw the watertoy against his head once again. Suki laughed.
"It's Kyoshi…" she answered.
Yes, I chose the name Suki because I thought it would be interesting that Sokka's Suki is named after Kyoshi's mother...
And? Do you like it?
