Here's the first actual chapter

Enjoy

In the waters north of the Fire Nation a small Fire Nation Frigate was investigating a rare occurrence. An Iceberg had broken off from the island sized icebergs that dominated the Southern Water Tribe and had slowly made its way north. Through a combination of wind, ocean currents, and simple luck, it had survived long enough to be north of the Fire Nation.

As was said before, this was a rare occurrence and one that was deemed necessary by the crown prince of the Fire Nation to investigate. On the deck of the ship, three people sat at a portable table. One was an older man with a gray goatee and a balding head, the other was a middle aged man with already graying hair though he looked as though he still had some good years left in him, and the last was a boy with black hair tied up in a bun on his head. They were playing a three way game. It could be played by four but they were only playing it with three. It was a relatively new game that pitted each of the nations against each other.

The old man, whose name was Iroh, was playing the Airbenders, Lt. Jee, the middle aged man was playing the Earth Kingdom, and Prince Zuko, who was the teenager, was playing the Fire Nation.

As Lt. Jee took his turn Prince Zuko's eyes strayed to the iceberg they were approaching. "So that's the phenomenon that was reported to be moving North several months ago."

"Yes Prince Zuko, the Southern Water Tribe patrols notified us of it."

"I think we should land on it Uncle."

"I can see the interest one might have in treading on such a rare occurrence, especially since I estimate it only has a week to remain, but I can see that you have another reason Prince Zuko, what is it?"

"I think our soldiers should train on it, we need all the experience we can get in fighting the Northern Water Tribe in their own element."

Lt. Jee moved his pieces around and placed the units he had bought, and then he turned to Zuko and said "I think you're right sir, it is also your turn."

Zuko smiled and continued on with the game as they drew closer to the iceberg.

They moored on the side of the Iceberg and most of the crew came ashore. Zuko had the firebenders begin practicing their sets in the hampering cold of the Iceberg and had the normal soldiers begin practicing their fighting techniques on the ice. After making sure no one would fall off and leaving Lt. Jee in charge, Zuko and Iroh hiked off somewhere to train in a more private area.

Once they had found a sufficient area Iroh began running Zuko through his fire sets. Zuko performed them all flawlessly up until it came to the breathing exercises. Iroh sighed, he still wasn't incorporating the notion that fire came from the breath, not the muscles. He instructed Zuko on this and Zuko began to try to incorporate breathing in with his firebending.

During one of the breaks that Iroh demanded (if Zuko had had his way he would've powered right on through without any rest of any sort) Zuko spotted something strange. In the sheer face of ice they were training by he could see what looked like an arrow glowing. As he approached it to get a closer look his uncle inquired what he was doing. He pointed out the light and Iroh walked over to look at it himself. Then Zuko saw two more lights appear like eyes opening. Iroh gasped and Zuko placed his hands on the ice. He began heating them up and they sunk into the ice wall until his arms were fully extended.

Air suddenly blasted out from his hand-made holes and slammed him flat on his back. Iroh immediately went to help him and they both watched as cracks began forming in the wall. Then all the ice exploded outwards and a beam of bluish-white light shot up straight into the sky.

The aforementioned beam of light was noticeable for miles around. Thus, it was no surprise that a girl on the deck of a tossing ship saw it. The girl was dressed in green and looked to only be about twelve years old. One noticeable feature about her was that one of her eyes looked like it had a milky shroud over it that, along with numerous scars around her left eye. She saw the beam of light and muttered "finally." She then turned to two people playing a game of Pai Sho. One was a man in a uniform, obviously just part of the crew. The other was a girl who looked to be around Zuko's age. She was quite beautiful and her hair was an unusual color of pure white.

The first girl who had spotted the unusual beam of light said to the girl "Yue look; it has to the Avatar."

The girl who's name was apparently Yue said "Or perhaps it's just something to do with the Northern lights. We've been around here before Princess Toph.

The first girl turned back and Yu, while still playing Pai Sho said in a calming voice "Toph, I don't want you to get your hopes up over another dead end. Maybe it would do you some good if you played a game of Pai Sho with me."

Toph whirled around and shouted "I'M NOT GOING TO LET THIS OPPURTUNITY SLIP THROUGH MY GRASP. HELMSMAN, HEAD A COURSE FOR THE LIGHT!"

Toph continued to scan the iceberg and the other two continued on with their game.

At the source of the light, Zuko and Iroh uncovered their eyes which they had covered at the blinding flash of light. They both looked in shock at what had been uncovered. What could be easily distinguished as a Flying Bison was one of the things. The other was a boy with Airbender tattoos running down his forehead, though he looked to be only about 12 years old. The boy stood up and his eyes and tattoos were glowing white, both Iroh and Zuko fell into battle stances. Then the glow left the boy and he fell down. Zuko prodded him in the head a few times with his foot and all he got in response was a small groan.

Then the boy sat up and observed his surroundings. As soon as he saw Iroh and Zuko his face split into a grin. He leapt to his feet and said in a very enthusiastic voice "Hi!"

Iroh and Zuko simply stared at him in confusion. Trying to break the ice, Aang bowed in the customary Fire Nation greeting while saying "greetings, my name is-" but then he stopped suddenly. His bow disappeared and his face scrunched up "ah . . . ah . . . ACHOOOO!" The sneeze was monumental and propelled him at least 10 feet in the air. He fell back to Earth and said in a cheerful voice as if nothing had happened "I'm Aang!"

This was too much for Iroh who burst out laughing, even Zuko grinned at the situation. After Iroh was done laughing Zuko asked "who are you, and for that matter, how were you frozen in the ice?"

"Don't know, I'm from the Southern Air Temple." He heard the Bison grunt and jumped on it, hugging it.

Zuko continued to question him, "why were your eye's glowing like that, and how did you shoot that big bolt of light in the air?"

"I don't know, I just, did."

Iroh nodded "many times we are unaware of our true potential." He then pointed to himself and his nephew in turn "I am Iroh, and this is my nephew Prince Zuko."

Aang's eyes widened "wow, Prince, is Sozin your grandpa or something, I didn't know Azulon had a son yet." Zuko and Iroh just stared at him in confusion until they heard the sound of many feet approaching them. They turned and saw Lt. Jee along with about 10 other men run around a bend to find them.

"Sirs, we saw the beam of light and had no word from you afterwards so we came as soon as we could."

Iroh apologized for not alerting them that they were fine and explained what had happened. After he was done they all looked at Aang. But Aang was looking out to sea at something.

"Ooh, is that your guy's ship?" He asked, pointing out to sea. Zuko looked and felt his stomach clench, "no, that's an Empire ship."

"What's the Empire?"

"No time to explain, we've got to get out of here!"

Zuko turned to Lt. Jee and ordered him to get the ship ready to leave immediately. As the Lt. rushed to do as he was ordered Zuko walked up to Aang "can you ride your bison to our ship, it's moored on the other side of the glacier?"

Though he looked confused, Aang's face brightened "I get to come with you guys, cool!"

He mounted his Bison and they took off. Zuko and Iroh quickly followed.

Toph, looking through a telescope, saw the bison take off. She didn't, however, get a good look at the pilot. "I've found him" she breathed, then her gaze switched to the retreating forms of the Fire Nation soldiers, "as well as his helpers."

She ordered all of the waterbenders to come up on deck.

This was originally going to be a lot longer but I decided to split it into two chapters. I hope I didn't sacrifice the quality of the story for it. If so I'm sorry.

Here's the mailbag:

Really interesting! I love it! Looking forward to seeing you update!

I hope this satisfies you.

Just to get this all straight...

The NWT and BSS are the enemies, much of the surrounding land near BSS is part of the alliance, and one about fourth of the Airbenders survived- all of them female. Presumably the SWT is still in relatively good shape, and the FN is still stable- the same holding true for KI and Omashu. The rest of the earth kingdom is being contested, yes? This is an interesting concept, and I'm eager to see where the story leads.

I'll explain the things you talked about later in the story.

KaliAnn

You truthfully are remarkable and showed a great what if? I do enjoy your redemption and healing. I have to say you personally inspired me to use some spiritual nature in my Young Justice story. I hope to read more of your work whether its YJ or Airbender soon

Thanks, I'm glad to have a reader like you reviewing my stories. I hope this lived up to your expectations.

If you really want me to get inspired to continue this, review please.

Good Day and God Bless :)
