It was a beautiful morning in Ba Sing Se, the sun was shinning, the birds were singing and nature was alive. Mirai and Yuuta were walking into the royal garden. Mirai saw Chan standing there and watching the sunrise. "Mirai you can't make things move faster, he needs to recover and after you will help him take his revenge on Yan Cho."
"I know, but it's just… that he is suffering so much and it's only my fault."
Three months passed like wind, Chan was recovering well and he started to train knowing that if he wants to face Yan Cho he will need to fight. He found out three months ago that Yan Cho was crowned Fire Lord and Mia Fire Lady, that broke his heart but he knew that Mia was doing this with a reason; he also found out one month ago that her daughter was born and Mia's mother died. Mia named her their daughter Kimiko, she knew that Chan wanted to name their child like that if she was a girl.
The Fire Nation Palace
Mia was sitting near her baby's bed, she was already asleep, but she loved watching her baby. " You are so beautiful, you look a lot like your father, and don't worry I'll find him and we'll all going to be a happy family. We had a lot of plans but someone ruined them." Yan Cho entered into the room and went to Mia.
"Mia, please come to bed it's getting late, you'll hear her if she cries." Mia stood up and gave a little kiss to her little angel.
"Good night, Kimy." They both went to bed. While Mia was brushing her hair, Yan Cho went to her and started to gently touch her. "Yan Cho, please… I already told you hat I will never do this with you." She told him those with a total rejection. She went to bed and added. "Maybe we are sharing the same bed but we will never share it with the other meaning. Good night!" Yan Cho didn't receive the answer that he wanted but he knew that he will someday, and that day could be even tomorrow if his actions will be thought well.
The morning came fast, right after breakfast Yan Cho started his Fire Lord activities and Mia went to take care of her daughter. In the city Yumi was waiting for news from her fiancé who didn't come back after the war ended. Her sisters started to annoy her more and more every single day. "He isn't coming back Yumi, stop hoping it's useless. Why don't you go and make me some food?" Her big sister was saying this every single day since the war ended.
Yumi had enough of this, she couldn't stay there and see how her sisters were messing with her. "Why don't you go and make by your own?" She stood up and went to her "I am the one who cooks, cleans after you and trains every single day, since mom's death I am the one who is taking care of you. But when you will understand that I'm not here to take care of you? I am here just for my best friend, I it wasn't this situation I would be gone from here a long time ago!" She went outside slamming the door strong. Whe she got outside a man was waiting there.
"Excuse me. Are you Yumi?" In that moment she recognized him, he was the admiral who was heading her fiancé's troop. She knew that there weren't good news.
"Yes… it's me. Please tell me that you have good news." She was hoping for that, but a sigh from the admiral told her that there was bad news.
"You fiancé died in an accident while coming home." Yumi couldn't control her tears, why, why were all of these happening to her. "I'm sorry to bring you bad news, he told me how much he loved you and how much he wanted to return home and marry you." Yumi was still standing there and crying, her big sister was watching from the house and smiling thinking in her mind i You deserve it sis /i.
She couldn't do but run to her friend, she was the only person who could stay near her now. When she got there Mia couldn't believe what happened, not just her fiancé, her sister either. "I'm so sorry Yumi. You don't deserve this, you are the most kind and good person I ever had the luck to meet." Suddenly Mia's father came in the room.
"Mia, I need to discuss something very important with you." Mia told the servants to go with Yumi into a room and stayed with her father. They both took a sit and started to talk. "I decided to go to South pole and stay there."
"What? Why?" Mia didn't understand at all why her father was living but she knew that he had reasons. "But if you go, I'd like you to say me few things that mom didn't tell me."
"Sure anything sweetheart." He wanted to tell to her daughter anything the her mother didn't tell her yet .
"At first, how did you two met and second why will the avatar be from our family for the next 500 years?" He expected somehow those questions and what choice did he had, he had to tell her the story.
"Our love story started when your mother started her waterbending training in South, it was love at first sign, when Rena had to go for her earthbending training she wanted to go to her mother, the Fire Lord, to tell her about us. In that time it was interdicted in the Fire Nation for a princess to marry someone from other nation. Your mother knew that the only way for us to be together was have throne and change the law, so she challenged her mother to an agni kai for the throne." Mia couldn't believe how was that possible for a mother and daughter to duel each other. "Rena was the avatar, and her mother was pretty old, so it obviously who won. Man, that woman never liked me, her gaze for me was always the same iI'm watching you/i." Mia couldn't stop a short laugh.
"And, how about those 500 years." It was a bit harder for him to answer at that question because, he didn't knew if his daughter could actually understand this situation.
"It all started when you were one year old. You were a kid with a lot of energy. You had an accident while you were playing, you almost died, I did everything I could to save you but I was powerless in those moments. In one night Rena entered in the Spirit World and begged the spirits for help, they accepted but with a price. The healed you and they told your mother that the avatar will be from our family for the next 500 years."
"But how is that a price, I mean if the avatar is from our family this means that we have a total protection in front of danger." He was afraid that she might think this.
"Believe, sooner or later you will realize that this is a curse. But now let me ask you something, haven't you ever asked yourself, why you are the only person in the world with blonde hair?" She realized this just now.
"If you are asking… yes, few times I asked myself."
"It was gift from spirits, because me and your mother were the first people in the world who broke the division of the nations they blessed you with amazing healing abilities and also you are the greatest waterbending in the world." Mia was amazed by hearing all of those. She never knew that she was blessed but somehow, cursed. "I'd like to stay with you and talk, but I have to go now. I'm sorry that I have to live you like that."
Mia, went and hugged her father, and almost started to cry, after his living she will be almost alone. "I'll miss you." He father left with tears in his eyes. It was hard for him to live her only daughter but he couldn't stay in this place anymore, everything was reminding him about Rena, the woman he loved.
Back in Ba Sing Se
Chan went to Mirai and the Earth King. "I decided something, standing here wont help me get back everything, so I'll go back to the Fire Nation tomorrow and get my revenge." Mirai smiled thinking that finally she had a chance for her own revenge.
"Then, we'll leave tomorrow, and I hope you already have a plan." She got closer to him. "We want to win this fight, don't we?"
"Don't be afraid, I have a plan, and I need you for it." He smiled, he had something in his mind, something that is going to make Yan Cho pay for all what he did to him and his family.
Yuuta came in the room too, and went to Mirai. "I hope you understand that I won't let you leave without me this time." Mirai smiled and went to gave him a short kiss on the check. In that moment Chan reminded how much he loves Mia and how much he wants to regain her and his family.
In the Fire Nation, things weren't good at all, Yumi decided to return home to her silly sisters who were messing with much more then usually, as Mia said to her, she tried to ignore them, even if it wasn't easy she was doing it. Mia was taking care of her baby in every single moment, even if Yan Cho's plan to get her "in bed" was going on she was ignoring him every time when he was mentioning something about it.
