Avatar's Adventure

Author's Notes: Part Two Is Here

Katara: Aang? Get Over Here!

After I left the marketplace, I went up to the hut to practice my Waterbending. I removed my fur coat, and poured a bowl of water. My hand swept over the bowl of water. However, it froze as I did so.

I huffed. What was I gonna do?

"Can't get it right?" said a suave voice. I whirled around, my heart pounding.

Pyresake was sitting on the windowsill.

"You scared me!" I whispered. He smiled, sliding off the windowsill

"Sorry… didn't mean to frighten you. I was just dropping by to see if you were still here. I see you are. What are you having trouble with?" he asked, looking over my shoulder. I could smell the faint scent of cinnamon, and flowers. Is that what foxes smell like?

"I'm trying to bend this water, but it's really hard."

Pyresake pushed up his sleeves. He put his arms around me. I felt my cheeks burning.

"You have to believe that your hands can mold the water. Watch me darling," Pyresake whispered.

With his cheek resting on my shoulder, I watched the bowl of water as Pyresake's hands gracefully moved over it. I noticed that he had on wooden bangles.

Soon the water was whirling around in a little cyclone that was standing straight up. Pyresake moved his hands around so that the water turned into a watery crystal-like dragon. He made it twist and turn.

I marveled at the delightful scene. He was a Waterbender! His wrist moved with such grace, the way his wrist swept and flowed made me think of Tai Chi. Pyresake sent the dragon back into the bowl.

"Wow! That was wonderful Pyresake! You're amazing

Pyresake smiled and hugged me warmly. However, I noticed that the smile he had was not suave. It was joyous, very happy. He even laughed.

"I haven't done that in such a long time… I'm forbidden," he whispered.

"Why?" I asked.

He sighed. "It's nothing…"

"But… why can't you bend water?" I pressed.

"Because she is a Firebender and I am a Waterbender. We are not supposed to even be together. The laws of our world have changed… from when I was.. younger. I used to be more happy… I even had a lot of fun with the Avatar… but now… I am engulfed in sorrow as well. And so the only way I can defend myself is doing Martial Arts. I belong to Sun Sana, like Appa belongs to Aang. Or rather, like the boomerang belongs to Sokka: I'm dispensable, disposable. Just a useless animal that is in the possession of a little girl. I must protect her, or I will die. It's my fate."

"Why will you die?" I asked.

"I will tell you one daymaybe…"

"Oh… " I moaned.

Pyresake smiled reassuringly.

"I like you a lot Katara. You're a sweet young lady. I always wished that I could have a little sister. So I could teach her to bend water, to find a boyfriend (lol), to braid her hair even. I'm an expert you know. But I don't. All of my kind are gone. They were killed by Sun Sana's kind. I will never bend water in the presence of a Firebender unless I'm killing one of them…"

Pyre's eyes began to glitter as he stood up. He walked over to the window. He leaned his hand on the sill.

"And now I'm insignificant. My kind would shun me to hell if they were aware that I was serving a Firebender… I would be rejected amongst them. Can you see why I don't fancy being her pet? It's not because she is mean, or controlling, or dangerous. It's my status that troubles me. She is a wonderfully sweet girl, but I can never be alone with her… If you can prove me wrong, God knows I will be forever grateful…"

"Do you love her?" I murmured.

"I'm much too old for her!" Pyre exclaimed, his eyes wide. That was just a fancy way to say yes. I giggled. Pyre didn't smile too much, but he did sneak a glance at me to see if I bought it.

"I do want to protect her, but the position I'm in crushes my heart under my own self-consciousness. I feel inferior, like my adoration for her is a joke. Perhaps this is why I lack the self-confidence that you have, because so many things happened to me when I was younger. Things I can never forget… no matter how hard I try."

Pyresake climbed back out of the window. I ran to the window after him. For some reason, I found myself hugging him fiercely.

Pyre slowly hugged me back. "I know Katara. I know… Thank you so much for caring. Maybe… I need to just talk to Sun Sana… or… something…So we can be on the same page with each other…" Pyre whispered. He put his face on my head momentarily, kissing my forehead.

"I really appreciate your concern a lot… I will address Sun Sana about possibly coming with you and Aang and Sokka. I wish to protect the lot of you as well as her. I think I owe you something for talking to me. No one knows this much about me but you."

Pyre let me go, and waved to me.

He leapt to the next buildings.

Somehow, I was going to have to get this Sun Sana to realize that no matter how pleasant Pyre was in her presence, he was hurting inside.


The Fire Nation attacked Kyoshi. Pyre was nowhere to be found… Where's he GO?

Sun Sana: Meeting the Prince… Again

Pyresake disappeared on me after that girl left. I think he took a liking to her. I wanted him to come back to me though. I needed his help. : '(

I was at the house, sharpening Pyresake's spear. I love doing that, because he uses it a lot. We never stay in the same spot, so we both like to find and sell fruits. He likes to chop them with his spear, or ward off angry fiends. Pyresake is strongly against killing animals though. I wonder why…? OH YEAH! He's like…a fox… 6.6

What I wanted him to help me with was my hair.

I fumbled 'round with it till I found a style that was somewhat like Pyresake would do. Sighing, I placed my hand on my head. The Avatar was here? Wow! O.O

I realized what this meant! They were going to save the world from the clutched of the Fire Nation. Yippee…

I wasn't all that enthusiastic. I mean, the Fire Nation was controlling the world, but I was a Firebender. So excuse me for not feeling totally happy. However… I also wanted to protect the nice peoples from the really bad ones, so I decided that I was gonna just… you know… kill some stuff.

So… that's how come I went outside and found people screaming. I rolled my eyes. I was just gonna have to take up on that promise…


A/N: Katara just has to help Pyresake! Who knew he was feeling so terrible inside?

In other news, I'm not going through the whole part with the invasion of the Fire Nation. I don't need to, because everything will be exactly the same that way: Katara will be Waterbending again with her newfound knowledge given to her by Pyre. Aang will go off like a little boy. They will see each other again, and then they will save everyone from the Fire Nation. The end!

Except… that Sun Sana will be fighting her own kind next chappie! She'll fight side by side with her protector!

Next chapter, coming up. Sorry these were so late. I was subscribing to deviantart;it's a very nice site. I even posted up some wallpapers! I'm under my same name. Coolness…

Also, I'm busy at the fatal frame section here. It's hard juggling stories, and doing things here, 'cuase there's no forum or anything...
