Prince meets Avatar
Two siblings, Katara and Sokka, are out fishing in a small canoe. While Sokka prepares to spear a fish, Katara attempts and succeeds to catch one by bending the water around it, lifting the bubble above the canoe. Sokka, oblivious to his sister's success and ignoring her pleas to look at her catch, readies his spear to strike and accidentally hits the bubble with the back of the weapon, knocking the fish back into the ocean and drenching himself with the water of the now-pierced bubble.
"Why is it that every time this happens to me when I'm with you, huh?" Asks Sokka with some steam coming from his nostrils.
"Sorry but it's an ancient art." Smiles Katara making Sokka roll his eyes. Sokka interrupts her and concludes that if he had "weird powers" he would keep his "weirdness" to himself. The siblings start to bicker, though their verbal exchanges are cut short when the sea currents suddenly pick up speed. Sokka tries to steer the canoe to avoid collision with the chunks of floating ice, while Katara frantically shouts to "go left", though the boat ends up being crushed between three ice floes, leaving Sokka and Katara stranded on the ice in the middle of the sea.
"You call that left?" Asks Katara with some bitterness in her voice.
"You don't like my steering? Well, maybe you should've," says Sokka as he waves his hands, mockingly imitating waterbending, "waterbended us out of the ice." The view cuts to a wide shot of the two on their floe; among the large icebergs and tiny floes surrounding them stands a massive, towering shard of ice, its craggy peak rising high above the siblings. Katara gets on her feet again, facing Sokka so that the pointed iceberg is behind her.
"I knew I should've left you home!" Says Sokka who's annoyed. Katara's face as it contorts with fury as she points accusingly at her brother, who makes no movement as she screams her disgust at him, the floe bobbing lightly up and down. She swings both her hands back forcefully once again and her unconscious waterbending hurls a wave directly into the towering iceberg behind her; with a loud, splitting crack, a hook like fissure arcs up its surface and out its side, leaving a spray of ice where it ends. Sokka, who wears a somewhat disinterested expression, glances briefly in his sister's direction and sees the iceberg; after a short moment, he does a double-take, his expression morphing into one of terror. The shot cuts to show Katara's outburst from behind Sokka; as she continues with her verbal outburst and arm movements, little chunks of ice from the iceberg splash into the water, unheard and unnoticed by Katara.
"Hey Katara-." Attempts Sokka while Katara continues to rant.
"Ever since mom died, I've been doing all the work around camp while you've been off playing soldier!" Yells Katara making Sokka widen his eyes and stand up.
"Dad left me to defend us or did you forget that a war is going on!?" Shouts Sokka who glares at his sister who glares back.
"No that's it! I'm done helping you! From now on, you're on your own!" Shouts Katara. Her last movement is her most agitated and it creates a huge wave which, when it impacts the iceberg, sends a number of fissures to snake their way up the iceberg; one of them reaches the top of the iceberg, splitting it completely in half. Petrified, Sokka gasps for air, and it is only now that Katara turns to look behind her. She gasps and the shot cuts to the iceberg; the two halves begin to fall away from each other and the siblings can be seen through the widening space between them. The siblings fall into the water before Sokka resurfaces with Katara. Sokka glares at his sister who looks shocked.
"Great, now I have to find our boat and check if it is still in one piece." Says Sokka making Katara blush in embarrassment. Before he can leave another iceberg, basking in blue light and containing two forms, rises to the surface. Deducing one of the forms to be that of a living human, Katara instantly grabs Sokka's club and makes her way over to the iceberg, despite Sokka's order to stay back as they do not know who they are dealing with. As they both arrive at the iceberg, she resolutely starts chopping at it. After several strikes, she is blown back by a gust of air escaping from the hole she managed to make. The two siblings watch in astonishment how the ice breaks from that point and, when the iceberg cracks in two, a bright column of light shoots high into the sky.
Prince Kuzan
On his boat is Kuzan who paints and writes about his journey into the south. His men stand behind him protectively before a light rises into the sky. Kuzan glances up before standing and looking to his soldiers.
"Time to go." Says Kuzan getting nods from the soldiers. Kuzan turns left and looks at his uncle who is playing cards.
"Uncle it is time, get ready." Says Kuzan as they approach the water tribe village. Iroh looks up and frowns.
"I won't get to finish my game?" Asks Iroh making Kuzan deadpan. Kuzan walks over before looking at some cards and placing one down. Iroh gapes.
"I win now let's go." Says Kuzan while directing the helms man.
Katara and Sokka
The boy elegantly rises to his feet in one swift motion, surprising the other two. Katara looks at him in awe while Sokka backs away in shock, aiming his spear at him again. Katara glances at him in disbelief. The boy looks around while rubbing his head while Katara scrambles on her feet.
"What is this?" Asks Aang making Sokka step up and point his spear at him.
"You tell us! How did you get in the ice? And why aren't you frozen?" Asks Sokka with some aggression as he pokes the boy in his side with his spear. A low, gruff noise suddenly fills the air, coming from within the crater of the iceberg. Quickly, the boy scrambles up the ridge of ice and happily jumps on the head of a large, furry creature that has the same arrow-shaped marking on his forehead as the boy.
"This is Appa." Says Aang as the creature wakes to lick him.
"Sure." Says Sokka a little alert around the boy. Aang looks questioningly at Sokka for a moment, but his attention is diverted back toward his bison when Appa starts to inhale deeply. Realizing what is about to happen, Aang ducks before Appa sneezes, sending a large blast of green flying directly onto Sokka, who becomes completely covered in it. He squeals in disgust and begins to frantically try clean it off, rubbing his face in the snow under the amused gaze of his sister.
"So do you live out here?" Asks Aang making Sokka rise.
"Don't answer that! Did you see that crazy bolt of light?! He was probably trying to signal the Fire Navy!" Says Sokka with a glare before Aang sneezes and enters the sky. Katara watches as he comes back down.
"Y-you're and Airbender." Exclaims Katara with a smile at never seeing one before.
"Yep sure am… so why did you think I was Fire Nation?" Asks Aang having no idea what is going on. Katara and Sokka look at each other before Sokka shakes his head. Sokka, convinced that he is going crazy, decides aloud to go home and leave behind the nonsensical world he has stumbled upon; he takes all of three steps before realizing, unfortunately, that he is stranded on an iceberg in the middle of the ocean. Aang, seeing the problem, offers to fly the two back to the Southern Water Tribe; Katara happily agrees, while Sokka refuses at first, agreeing after a few seconds only when he realizes he has no other choice. The group gets on Appa's saddle, with Sokka still grumpily refusing to believe that Appa can fly. Aang says, "Yip-yip!", and Appa leaps into the air, though immediately comes crashing back down into the water and starts swimming. While Sokka crows sarcastically about Appa's inability to fly, Aang decides Appa is still too tired to fly just yet. He turns around and stares at Katara with a huge smile on his face, causing her, after a few long, awkward seconds, to ask, "Why are you smiling at me like that?" He replies, "Oh, I was smiling?" Sokka lifts his head back, groaning, while Katara, at first smiling at Aang's response, frowns back at Sokka.
"Since you are an Airbender, do you know what happened to the Avatar?" Asks Katara with some hope making Aang nervous.
"Oh, no. I didn't know him. I mean, I knew people that knew him, but I didn't. Sorry." Says Aang with a weak smile.
Katara is eager to introduce him to the rest of the tribe and Aang dresses quickly with Katara watching. She notices with surprise the arrow markings running along his body and gasps. She does not say anything, however, and as soon as Aang is completely dressed, she pulls him along and introduces him to the entire population, which consist of several dozen soldiers with the majority being women and children.
As Katara and a few of the children rush to Aang's aid, Sokka rushes to the base of the fallen structure and tries vainly to save it. As a mass of snow buries him, he grumbles aloud about Aang and Katara both being time-wasting benders and storms off. Aang is thrilled to learn that Katara is a waterbender, though Katara is only able to tell him that she is only "sort of" a waterbender before her grandmother calls her away, telling Katara she has chores to do. Out of earshot of Aang, Katara ecstatically tells Gran-Gran that she believes that she has found a bender who can teach her waterbending. Gran-Gran seems skeptical of Aang's potential and warns Katara not to place too much stock in a person she has only just met. Katara brushes the request aside, replying, as she strikes up a meditative pose, that she believes Aang is "filled with much wisdom." At that very moment, they happen to glance over at Aang, who is showing the village toddlers, to their deep amusement, his ability to stick his tongue to his staff.
Prince Kuzan
One the ship Kuzan faces two soldiers who sweat a little. The two attack as Kuzan efforestly blocks the blast of fire before gathers fire in both hands and shooting it at the two. The soldiers block the attack as best they can before Kuzan corkscrew spins between them while unleashing two fire blasts. The soldiers fall the ground before standing and bowing to Kuzan who nods. Iroh walks up to him and smiles.
"Well done, remember power from firebending comes from the breath." Says Iroh getting a nod from Kuzan as he dons his armor and cape. He looks out to see all his soldiers lined up. Kuzan looks to Iroh before gaping at his uncle as he eats roast duck.
"Uncle!" Says Kuzan while face palming with dismay.
"You must always eat your meal to acquire energy." Smiles Iroh making Kuzan sigh.
Water Tribe
The warriors of the tribe move several crates filled with food. The crates have the symbol of the Fire Nation on them as the warriors laugh about. Sokka looks on before helping out with the movement. Other boys do the same while Aang messes around. Sokka then calls all the young boys over for their lessons.
Sokka gives the six young boys of the tribe a stern lecture on their military practices, emphasizing that they are the "warriors" of the tribe, but is interrupted by one of them when he innocently raises his hand and says that he needs to pee. After a brief attempt at getting his point across, Sokka unhappily asks how many of them need to do the same and all the boys raise their hands. As the kids leave, Sokka face palms and Katara walks up, looking for Aang. Aang himself is leaving the outhouse as she talks to Sokka and, as the boys arrive at the outhouse, Aang enthusiastically declares, "Wow! Everything freezes in there!" While the boys laugh, Sokka becomes angry and demands that Aang leave, as they are in the middle of a lesson for "warriors only." To his further distress, he, hearing more laughing children, discovers some of the boys and Aang playing on Appa; they are taking turns sliding down the bison's tail and off the end, which has been propped up so that it points into the air. In addition, they have taken his spear and are using it to measure the distance they have flown. Rushing over and demanding that they stop, Sokka berates them and rails on Aang once more, accusing him of distracting his "warriors" with fun and games, things which have been pushed aside in light of the ongoing war. To both Sokka's and Katara's shock, Aang slides down from Appa's head and, somewhat curiously, reveals that he has no knowledge of any such war.
"You're kidding right?" Asks Sokka making Aang tilt his head. Aang looks questioningly at Sokka, but the expression on his face changes to enthusiasm when he catches sight of an otter-penguin. He races off toward the animal, raising a cloud of blowing snow with airbending as he departs, leaving Sokka, still dumbfounded, to ask the same question of Katara; they exchange looks of uncertainty and slight confusion.
Time passes on as Katara teaches Aang how to catch a penguin. The two have a lot of fun before the end up near the Fire Nation Shipwreck. Katara looks away from the symbol making Aang look to her.
"Whoa! What is that?" Asks Aang in awe while Katara glares at the ship.
"A Fire Nation ship. And a very bad memory for my people." Says Katara darkly. Aang looks at her before approaching the ship to which Katara warns him not to go. During the time in the ship Katara tells Aang about the war.
"No that is impossible." Says Aang not believing it.
"It's true the Fire Nation under Fire Lord Sozin attacked the other nations and started this war." Says Katara with a sad face. Aang looks on with sadness.
"Wait what about the Fire Lords after him?" Asks Aang making Katara tilt her head.
"Well you said Fire Lord Sozin started the war, so what about his successors?" Asks Aang making Katara shrug.
"All I know is the Fire Nation are bad." Says Katara while Aang steps forward before activating a trap.
Prince Kuzan
As the ship gets closer the Water Tribe the soldiers begin to ready themselves for the battle that could arise. Prince Kuzan straps Dragon's Tooth to his back while Sabor stands behind him. Tula flies down and lands on his shoulder. As the boat moves a flare enters the sky making Kuzan look to his left. He holds his hand out as a soldier passes him a Spy Glass. As he looks through the spy glass, Kuzan spots two figures moving fast.
"An Airbender, here?" States Kuzan with confusion. Iroh walks up to him.
"Hmm, strange they usually stay in the Southern Air Temple with their families." Says Iroh making Kuzan nod his head.
"So why is this one all the way out here?" Asks Kuzan more to himself. Kuzan thinks before shrugging.
"No matter, our mission remains the same." States Kuzan before eyeing a small village.
"To retrieve our supplies from the thieves." Says Kuzan with a frown.
Water Tribe
Returning from the site of the shipwreck, Aang and Katara are greeted by many angry faces in the village, their accidental triggering of a flare on the ship having warned the Fire Nation of their presence. Because of the mishap, the safety of the village has been compromised. Katara looks at her brother who is looking angry with several warriors behind him.
"Do you know what you've done?" Asks one of the warriors with a glare. Katara shrinks away from the man.
"You signaled the Fire Navy with that flare!" Says another warrior with a glare. Katara looks to Sokka who seems sad and disappointed.
"Aang didn't do anything! It was an accident." Protest Katara before a warrior looks at her.
"An accident that should never have occurred!" Shouts a warrior getting nods from the others.
"You know that place is forbidden but you went there anyway." Accuses another warrior. A bitter argument ensues, in which Sokka decides to banish Aang from the Southern Water Tribe for his perceived betrayal, an action Kanna agrees with. Katara, outraged by the decision, initially resolves to leave with Aang, who had offered to take her to the Northern Water Tribe to find a master waterbender who could teach her. However, Sokka asks her if she would actually choose Aang over her own family. As Aang states that he does not want to come between Katara and her family, she rethinks her decision and sadly decides to stay. A downcast Aang and Appa depart from the village, setting course for the Southern Air Temple, where Aang previously lived. Katara, frustrated that they have banished Aang, snaps angrily at her grandmother, leaving Kanna looking saddened. Sokka watches his sister go with a sorrowful gaze before a warrior touches his shoulder making him nod his head. Sokka hurriedly readies the young children for the imminent combat with the Fire Nation. Meanwhile, Aang and Appa rest on a wind-carved ice formation and Aang, acting as if Appa can talk to him, tells Appa somewhat dejectedly that he liked Katara. Aang suddenly spots Kuzan's ship approaching the village and, realizing the severity of their predicament, he quickly decides to help defend his new friends, leaving a dozing Appa behind.
The soldiers of the Fire Nation done their armor and swords. Others ready their chose of weapons as several Komodo Rhino's. Sokka grabs his spear and boomerang before painting himself in war paint.
Sokka and the warriors stand ready as the Fire Nation ship approaches. Katara and the others see it coming and hold expressions of fear. The ships approach collapses Sokka's makeshift walls and towers. Sokka continues to stand bravely, only balking in order to avoid the ramp that descends from the ship. The Warriors rally in front before the soldiers of the Fire Nation walk out of the ship. Kuzan walks in front of them as a warrior charges him. Kuzan catches the man's arm before breaking it and sending him flying back with a fire blast.
The warrior skids on the snow before stopping in front of the other warriors who glare. Kuzan looks at them before gesturing for them to bring it. The warriors roar before charging only for Kuzan to step aside as the Komodo Rhino's charge through the warriors. The soldier dash forward and engage the warriors who fall one after the other. Kuzan walks through the bodies before dodging an attack and kicking the man who hits the snow.
As the soldiers progress into the village they spot the supplies before gathering it up. The warriors attack them but are only prolonging the inevitable. Sokka hits one of the soldiers in the head making him fall before he spots Kuzan walking forward. Kuzan sees the boy and sighs as he charges. Kuzan fire blast Sokka who widens his eyes as he flies back. Katara sees this and runs to her brother while Kuzan's men take the stolen food. The warriors are all down as the soldiers load the food on the boat. Kuzan stands in front of the villagers while his men disarm the warriors who groan.
"I should level this village for the deaths you've caused in the colonies." Says Kuzan making the villagers shudder in fear. Kuzan narrows his eyes before sighing.
"But luckily for you I have an uncle who… has a way with words." Says Kuzan. The villagers look at him with confusion.
"That being said, the warriors will be imprisoned." Says Kuzan as he turns away. Sokka gets up and attacks making Kuzan look to him. Kuzan draws his sword and cuts the weapon in half before flipping Sokka on his back. Kuzan unleashes a fire blast that Sokka dodges. Sokka throws his boomerang making Kuzan duck under it before Sokka is thrown a spear. Sokka charges at Kuzan who cuts the spear into pieces before jabbing Sokka in the face with his fist, three times. Sokka falls while Kuzan sighs.
"I would stop if I were you." Says Kuzan as a gleam in the air is seen by Sokka. Kuzan sighs before turning and catching the boomerang making Sokka gape. However suddenly Kuzan's feet are trapped in ice making him widen his eyes and turn left to see Katara who is panting. Sokka stands and attacks before Kuzan explodes in blue fire melting the ice and sending Sokka flying back. Kuzan looks down at Sokka before turning away from him.
"Load the supplies." Orders Kuzan as Katara looks at all the food being taken. Angry she stomps up to Kuzan who sees her coming and tilts his head before turning while walking off.
"You can't do that, our village needs to eat!" Shouts Katara making Kuzan stop.
"You can't just steal our food!" Shouts Katara making the warriors who are awake to look away.
"Your food?" Asks Kuzan while turning around to stare at Katara who backs away.
"Did you miss the huge Fire Nation Symbol on the crate?" Asks Kuzan as he points to the crate. Katara looks at the crate.
"You stole our food!" Shouts Kuzan as he glares at the girl.
"We needed the food to survive!" Counters a warrior making the villagers look to them.
"Do you know how many you've killed?" Asks Kuzan with a glare.
"Firebenders have killed more than us." Glares Katara making Kuzan look to her.
"Really?" Says Kuzan as he walks over to the crate.
"Tell me do you know where this food was heading?" Asks Kuzan with a glare. The villagers are silent.
"No, it was heading to the colonies where families have been starving due to the war." Says Kuzan with a glare.
"Your actions have killed families who are starving." Says Kuzan with barely controlled anger.
"So forgive me if I care not if you suddenly die from starvation." Says Kuzan as he gestures to the men to take the crates.
"It was the Fire Nation who started this war!" Shouts Katara with tears on her eyes.
"It was a firebender who killed my mother." Cries Katara making Kuzan look to her.
"It was the other nations who let the war go on or did you not know that my grandfather Fire Lord Azulon tried to end the war?" Asks Kuzan making Katara widen her eyes.
"The Water Tribes didn't even try to make peace and the Earth Kingdoms demanded that we give them back the land that was taken and the fire nation citizens leave the towns." Says Kuzan with a glare.
"And do you think you are the only one to lose someone you love in this war, I can assure you that many fathers and mothers of the Fire Nation will not be coming home for their children." Says Kuzan before turning. A warrior cuts his bounds and attacks Kuzan who sighs. Kuzan flips the man over before sending out a fire blast. However the blast never reaches the man as a gust of wind intercepts it. Kuzan looks behind him before jumping over the penguin and landing. He looks up with a jealous face with red on his cheeks.
"No fair how come he can go penguin sledding?" Asks Kuzan making the soldiers sweat drop. Aang walks forward while the firebenders continue to load the supplies.
"Stop why are you doing this?" Asks Aang making Kuzan look to him.
"I am taking back what is ours and sending it where it was supposed to go before it was stolen." Says Kuzan.
"How will they survive?" Asks Aang gesturing to the villagers and children. Kuzan looks at the children and turns away.
"T-that is not my problem." Says Kuzan making Aang widen his eyes.
"As the Prince of the Fire Nation my duty is to my own people." Says Kuzan making Aang widen his eyes.
"You're a prince!?" Shouts Aang making Kuzan nod his head. The soldiers take more crates before Aang swings his staff at them. The soldiers are thrown back making Kuzan look at Aang.
"You intend to stand in my way?" Asks Kuzan in a reluctant tone. Aang hears the tone but nods his head.
"If what you say is true than I am sorry but they still need to eat." Says Aang making Kuzan sigh.
"So be it." Says Kuzan before he turns serious and front flips while rolling in the air. Blue fire launches from his feet making Aang spin his staff to block the fire. Aang counters with a wind blast that Kuzan disperses with his arms before launching a barrage of fire blast that Aang blocks and dodges before swinging his staff. Kuzan stomps his foot down as fire rises in front to block the wind. Kuzan dashes into Aang who grunts before recovering and swinging his staff only for it to be blocked by a sword. Kuzan and Aang duel skillfully before Aang kicks up some snow on Kuzan, making him look like a snowman. Aang laughs at the scene. Kuzan melts the snow before spinning and slamming his hands forward. The fire melts the snow making it hot water that drenches Aang who yells and runs around making Kuzan laugh at him.
Aang stops and attacks again but with a smile. Kuzan blocks the attack but smiles before the two stand back to back while blocking blows and strikes. Kuzan ducks under a swing before tripping Aang who yells before Kuzan spins on his back releasing a wave of flames from his legs. Aang slams his staff down to deflect the flames but takes his eyes off of Kuzan who appears behind him and slams his fist into Aang's back, releasing a wave of fire. Aang yells before hitting the ground with his butt on fire. Kuzan laughs hard while Aang runs around before sticking his butt in the snow. He sighs in relief before spear heads are at his neck.
"I have to say that was fun." Smiles Kuzan before turning serious.
"But my job remains." Says Kuzan making Aang look down.
"I heard that the War had taken many lives on all sides," says Aang making Kuzan nod, "I also heard that the Fire Nation started the war but also tried to stop it." Kuzan sighs but nods his head.
"You want to stop this war right?" Asks Aang making Katara widen her eyes and look at Kuzan who nods his head.
"Then start by helping the ones who need it, regardless of who they are." Says Aang making Kuzan look at him.
"You've been gone sometime Avatar," says Kuzan making the village widen their eyes, "and I'm afraid it is not so simple." Suddenly a roar is heard as Appa hits the boat making Kuzan look to him. Kuzan whistles before Appa is hit from the sky by Sabor who lands and wraps protectively around Kuzan. Aang widens his eyes before rushing to Appa who stands and growls at Sabor who hisses.
"Please, don't do this." Pleads Aang making Kuzan look at the villagers with a glare. The villagers look down with the warriors hugging their families. Iroh walks up to Kuzan who looks at the scene.
"Prince Kuzan." Says Iroh.
"No, stop we have a job to do and I can't help the people who are responsible for the deaths of our people!" Shouts Kuzan while turning away.
"More food will come for the Colonist but they don't have that luxury." Says Iroh.
"So it is okay for them to steal the food that feeds the families in the colonies?" Asks Kuzan making Iroh shake his head.
"No but doing this will not help or change what has happened." Says Iroh making Kuzan scoff.
"Board the supplies." Orders Kuzan making the men nod. Aang looks down with the villagers. Katara looks saddened as she recalls Kuzan's words about others dying. Kuzan walks up to a large crate before in a flash he cuts in apart making the food fall out.
"Soldier, why has this cart not been secured!?" Shouts Kuzan making the man sweat and gape.
"S-Sir?" Asks the soldier making the villagers look to him with Aang and Katara.
"Look at this, the food is pouring out." Says Kuzan making the man tilt his head.
"I-I'll pick it up." Says the soldier.
"No, it is lost. No need in taking it with us." Says Kuzan with a blush as he walks on. The villagers widen their eyes with Katara smiling with tears in her eyes. Aang smiles before Kuzan looks back.
"Thank you." Says Katara making Kuzan widen his eyes.
"What do you mean…? I simple failed to retrieve a single crate." Says Kuzan with a blush before walking over to Aang.
"Now then I've got something special planned for you." Says Kuzan with a serious face and tone making Aang gulp. The villagers look on with fearful gazes.
"Yahoo!" Says Kuzan as he leans left on the penguin leaving Aang in the dust. Aang laughs before sticking his tongue out and leaning right. The two have been penguin sledding the whole day. The soldiers of the Fire Nation help the villagers build their homes. Katara shudders when a soldier gets near her but stops when the soldier passes Kanna a drink and helps her up. The soldier walks away.
"All this time I thought firebenders were evil." Says Katara making Kanna look at her.
"War makes everyone confused." Says Kanna as she sees Kuzan and Aang racing each other.
The day ends and soon it is time for Kuzan to leave. He steps up with a smile before turning serious.
"Avatar, I should warn you that if you become a threat to the Fire Nation… no matter my thoughts of you… I will defend my nation." Says Kuzan making Aang walk to him and smile.
"I'm glad to have met you Kuzan." Smiles Aang while putting out his hand. Kuzan looks at the hand before slowly shaking it.
"But I will do my duty as Avatar and end this war." Says Aang making Kuzan smile. Kuzan walks away before glancing back at Aang
"By the way I'm still one win ahead of you on penguin sledding." Smiles Kuzan cheekily. Aang pouts with his head down at losing.
"You cheated on the last round." Pouts Aang making Kuzan place his hand on his waist and laugh.
"All's fair in penguin sledding." Laughs Kuzan making the soldiers sweat drop. Suddenly a smalls child runs up to Kuzan making Katara widen her eyes. Kuzan looks down before bending down with a smile.
"Twank you Pwince Kuzan." Says the child making Kuzan widen his eyes as the child offers him an apple. Kuzan takes the apple before smiling and winking making the child giggle. Katara runs up to the child and looks to Kuzan who turns away.
"I'm sorry… I shouldn't have-." Starts Katara.
"It's okay, you lost a mother… that is why this war needs to end." Says Kuzan before smiling and walking aboard his ship. His smile fades to a sad gaze.
"One way or another." Whispers Kuzan as the ramp shuts.
Ok sorry for the slow update but when I get an idea I've got to put it out quick or I will forget it. But i try not to give up on stories.
So Aang and Kuzan have met and they are… similar in ways. Aang has a duty and Kuzan has a duty. Now despite being a Prince Kuzan is still a child so loves to have fun. Evident by him being jealous at Aang who got to penguin sled.
Aang will meet Kuzan on several occasions and they will fight but never try to kill one another. But their duties will interfere with one another's so conflict is expected.
Till next time ;)
