The Water Dragon
Prologue
Water. Earth. Fire. Air. In ancient times, humans learned how to 'bend', or control, the four elements, and used this power to construct four great civilizations, the Water Tribes, the Earth Kingdom, the Fire Nation, and the Air Nomads. For generations, harmony between these four nations was maintained by the Avatar, the only person who could master all four bending elements. However, this harmony came at a price, for the Avatar had decreed that, in order to maintain balance, the four nations needed to remain separate, their joys and sorrows remaining theirs, and their alone, to bear. But while three of the nations were content with this, the Fire Nation was not. They had seen the burdens that the other nations had to deal with, and wanted to share the bounty that they had, with the rest of the world. But the other nations did not understand, and the result, was war. One hundred years later, the Air Nomads have been defeated, the Water Tribes isolated from each other, and the Earth Kingdom is under occupation, and yet, the war still rages on, seemingly without end. But, two years ago, the spirit of the Avatar, who vanished shortly after the war began, appeared to me in a dream, with a message, "Only a Dragon of Water, will be able to fully quench the Fires of War". I now realize that it is my destiny to bring about the end of this war. My name is Zorra, the only waterbender to serve in the Fire Nation Army. I am the Water Dragon, and this, is my story.
And Cut!
This story idea has been on the backburner in my head for about a year now. I drew inspiration for this from a number of Avatar fanfiction stories that I've bene finding online. There's some really great work out there! I am so envious of these guys who have the time, motivation, or even the willpower, to crank out such fine works of fiction!
Anyway, my story will be set in the Last Airbender universe, featuring my Avatar OC, a waterbender named Zorra who was born in the Fire Nation and is serving in the military under Commander Zhao. By some chance, she is reassigned to serve under General Iroh as he and Prince Zuko chase after the Avatar. What will happen when you put a feisty waterbending soldier on the same ship with a hot-tempered firebending prince?
If you want to see this story written, please let me know by responding and letting me know what you think. Seriously, the more reviews I get, the more likely thsi story will take wing!
Until Next Time!
