Avatar-Love and Doubt

Chapter 1: The News

It was a peaceful afternoon in Republic City. The sun was beginning to set and was lighting up the sky with colors of yellow and orange. I was standing on the balcony right outside our home on Air Temple Island. It was a simple two story house that was painted a light orange with a reddish yellow roof and was costumed to what the air nomads would have lived in .

I can't believe how much has happened since the ending of the war, and how everything has come for the better. During my reminiscing, I soon then heard familiar footsteps. I turned around to see the face of my beloved husband. He was smiling but in an unusual way. His smile seemed kind of off. "What's the matter, is there something wrong?" "No, nothing, everything is great." "Come on, I know you and I know when something's up, so what's wrong?" "Ha-ha, I guess I can't fool you." "Well, lately I have been getting some strange signs, and I think I know what it is and I think you have noticed them too…" "Katara, I believe my time is about to come." I stood there, trying to think of something to say but couldn't. I have been with Aang for over 60 years, and it doesn't seem long enough. It will never be long enough.

Too hear that my husband, my life, and my love is going to go away, for good, is a devastation that I cannot bear. And as I sit here, dumbfounded, I can't help but remember how it all began, and how I almost ruined it all. . .
