Hello peoples! Here is Chapter 1 of my fanfic. All I have to say is well, it's kinda short :/
Chapter 1
Meet Our Avatar In Training, Terra
"Terra, wake up" said a voice. Terra mumbled in response, hugging her pillow.
"No, I don't want any more cookies dad, give them to the triplets" she mumbled. A strap of her t-shirt slipped down her arm as she hugged her large pillow tighter. Forte sighed at this. It was like a daily routine, he tried to wake up his daughter, the Avatar, she wouldn't wake up, then he would call the triplets.
"Terra, come on, wake up" he says taking the pillow out of her hands. As a response, she grabs the sheets and hugs them, still asleep.
"Mama, why does your skin feel softer now?" she says in her sleep. Forte freezes at the word Mama that was able to escape Terra's lips. "It's been a while since we slept together. I forgot what hugging you was like" she says. She was having that dream where she was reunited with Lisa, her mother who died. She would dream of them either fighting together, or sleeping together in the same bed like they would if Terra would "have monsters under her bed" or "sees a ghost in her shadow". He sighed, then whistled.
"Len! Kaito! Yoshii!" he called out. 3 little 5 year old boys zoomed into the room, with the same face, the same clothes, and the same hair. No one ever knew which one was which, but only they knew. One saluted like a soldier to their dad.
"Reporting for duty, sir" he says. Forte points at the 15 year old sleeping in peace on the bed.
"You know what to do" he says. They all laugh, then climb onto the bed.
"TRAMPOLINE!" yells one. They all start jumping on Terra, on her chest, head, stomach, thighs, in the places they knew would wake her up. Terra's eyes shot open, and then she struggled to sit up.
"Cut it out! Get off of me! You little maggots, stop!" she yells. Once they know she's fully awake (and not half asleep), they stop and jump to the floor. Terra sits up and yawns, stretching both her arms as far as they can. She smacks her dry lips and looks out the window that is letting the sun shine into her room. She looks at her family standing at the end of her bed.
"Dad, the maggots were jumping on me again" she says.
"I know, because you're late" he replies.
"For what?"
"Oh, I don't know, your meeting with Kiara perhaps?" Terra's green irises widen, then she looks at the clock on her night table. 9:30, the meeting was at 8:45.
"Oh shi- I gotta get ready!" she says. She leaps out of bed and runs to the bathroom. The door shuts with a loud Slam!, and all that could be heard was the sound of water running.
"I'm getting used to this" says one triplet. The other two nod.
About 2 hours later, Terra comes out fully dressed, wearing her mother's flower in her hair. She ran into the kitchen and looks at the clock. 11:30, Oh no, oh no, oh crap!
She runs into the living room with a piece of toast in her mouth.
"Dad, Ima take Miwa to see Kiawa okay?" she says with the toast in her mouth. As she turns around, she sees a woman sitting on the couch sipping out of a teacup. She had long black hair and pale skin, with blue eyes of a waterbender. It was Kiara. Terra cringes at the sight of seeing her. Damn, she beat me she thought. She plasters a smile on her face then walks casually towards her, hands behind her back.
"Hey there Kiara! What are you doing here on such a... random day?" she asks.
"Terra, you overslept, you took 2 hours to get ready, I got impatient" she says eyeing her suspiciously.
"Okay I overslept, but blame my mind!" she says pointing at her head.
"I blame the time you go to sleep" Kiara mumbles. Terra sighs then sits down next to Kiara.
"So uh, what was the meeting about again?" she asks
"It was about your waterbending test you took last week" she replies.
"Oh yeah! So, did I do good?" Terra asks with excitement.
"You did. As a matter of fact, you passed" Terra jumps up in joy and spins all around.
"This is great! All I need to learn now is air and I'm finally gonna be a fully realized Avatar!" she says cheering.
"Hold on. You're forgetting one thing" Kiara says. Terra stops her mini-celebration and looks at the waterbender.
"You need to be able to learn the spiritual side of bending, and you need to master the Avatar State" Terra puts her arms down and sighs. She looks at the floor as a shadow casts upon her face.
"Kiara, can you not remind me about the Avatar State please?" she asks. Kiara remembers this, then nods.
"Sorry about that" she says. Terra remembered the first time she went into the powerful form. It was when she was only 10 years old, 5 years ago, when the terrible death of her mother, Lisa, was witnessed by the young Avatar. She remembered the last words Lisa said to her. Terra, be the strongest Avatar that you can be. Don't cry, no matter what happens to you. Hold back your tears in any situation. I want to see my little girl be brave and strong, that'll make me the most happiest thing ever. All she could remember was clutching her dying mothers hand, feeling her get more colder and colder, and feeling her pulse slow down. Terra, I love-. It was black out. Terra tried hard over the years to erase those memories, yet they still came back to her the same way a Polar Bear Dog would look for their owner and stay with him.
Terra sighs, then looks at Kiara.
"So then, does that mean I'm actually going to the UR?" she asks. Kiara lifts a brow in confusion.
"The UR?"
"You know, the United Republic, Republic City?" Kiara understands then nods her head.
"Yes. You will be visiting the airbending family of Jinora and Rohan, descendents of Avatar Aang, the one before Korra" says Kiara. Terra smiles at this thought, excited about it.
"I just hope you will be able to learn it without any struggles"
"What do you mean?"
"Avatar Korra, she had this huge spiritual block that prevented her from learning airbending, but, as time progressed she was able to get the hang of it, and eventually during the revolution of Republic City, she mastered airbending" Kiara said.
"Well, that was because she had trouble with her spiritual side. I don't" Terra says triumphantly placing hands on her hips.
"Yes, but your natural element is earth. Air is the opposite. Avatar Aang's natural element was air, and he had trouble learning earth"
"So wait, you're saying the Avatar will easily have trouble learning their opposite element? That's kind of a stereotype" Kiara sighs. Terra always had trouble understanding things. That was a low for someone her age.
"No, I'm trying to tell you there's a very light possibility you'd have trouble learning air. Don't you remember? You learned the elements the other way around. You didn't learn them according to the cycle like you were supposed to!" Terra gets the look of a confused dog.
"Say what?" Kiara gets annoyed.
"You were supposed to learn the elements in the order of earth, fire, air, then water, but you ignored all your teachers and decided to go for earth, fire, water, then air" Terra sighs.
"So?" Kiara grunts in annoyance then turns around.
"Never mind" she says. Kiara stares at her tea and hears laughing behind her. She turns to see Terra giggling.
"What's so funny? This is serious business we're talking about" she says. Terra ignores her and continues laughing.
"Well, you're kinda like Mako" she replies with a smile.
"You mean my father?" Terra nods.
"Yeah. He was always so serious and hated it whenever I didn't concentrate or understand anything" she says. She remembered when she was learning fire, Mako and his other daughter Zuna were teaching her. He'd start getting annoyed the same way Kiara did just now every time Terra wasn't focusing.
Kiara smiled a little bit. "I guess you're right" she says. They both end up laughing. Kiara stands up and heads for the door.
"Well, I have to go. I'll talk to your father about you going to the UR and we'll arrange something, okay?" Terra salutes like a soldier.
"Yes ma'm!" she says. Kiara nods then leaves the house. I can't believe it. she thought. It's only been 10 years since she started learning the elements, and now she's so close to becoming a fully realized Avatar. She may soon be as powerful as Avatar Aang and mother was.
Kiara was a little bit worried for the 15 year old, though. About the dangers in Republic City, the obstacles she might face, and, who knew what else there would be? She looked up at the sky and inhaled the fresh scent of the trees surrounding the town that Terra had lived in ever since she was born. Mom, what will happen? Will she be a great Avatar like you? She sighed then continued walking on. If only you were here to help her out for everything, for all I can do is give her advice and little support.
See what I mean? Pretty short huh? The next won't be so short, okay maybe they will, but, I will update daily because I'm too freaking soft.
I own Terra, her dad, her brothers, and Kiara, not Legend of Korra nor Avatar TLA.
