The fire serphemt risen from the waters and with the fire lord's duaghter, they made their way on to a island. Not just any island, but the city of the four nations,
"Where are we?" asked the duaghter meekly, looking around to see a small city were all four nations were working together, in harmony, and in love.
"We're in the city of the four nations," said the serphent, as a bright light came around him. The fire lord's daughter let go of his hand in aww. Soon the bright light dimmed, and revealed a handsom young man, "This is my home, my kindom."
They made their way up to the city's palace, stopping at her quaters, once inside, "You'll be staying here for your stay," he replied.
The duaghter had a look a forloren, the young man saw that look ands questioned" What aids you my beautiful?"
"I was supposed to take the hand of a fire serphent for the sake of the people, but now I learned that you're just young handsom man." she replied.
"Do you still want me to take your hand?" he asked, " I just wanted to save you from your father, nothing else."
"But what about the peolpe in other nations?" she asked, "Will no harm come to them?"
"No, but why do you care? Are you not a firebreed?" he asked in return.
"No I'm born of many elements, and I care for many other people, that I do not know of, but I wish for their safety over mine. Even if it ment marring someone that doesn't seem to care.", and she went into her room. Leaving the shocked young man there all alone, to think.
Weeks went on, the duaghter doing things to help out the city, the prince watching her to see her doing the things a normal princess wouldn't, amazed at her beauty, strength, kindness, and determination. Helping in the feilds, taking care of children ect. It didn't matter if they weren't nice to her, she was nice to them, that was what emazed him.
That night he went to her quaters, and knocked on the door, when the duaghter answered it, he looked shocked that she was wearing a priestess garb. Beautiful was all he thought of when he looked at her.
"If it's ok with you the wedding will be in a few weeks," stated the prince, waiting for reactions. There were none. At least none that were bad.
"Oh great prince!" the duaghter shouted, leapping to give him a warm and inviting hug.
"I believe that is a yes?" he questioned
"Oh yes! Yes" she shouted, tears of joy come from her eyes.
The prince looked down at her, confused, "Why is there water flowing from your eyes sweet one?" he asked
the duaghter giggled at him for not knowing," They're tears of happiness prince,"
"Happiness?" he asked.
she smiled,"Yes happiness."
Weeks came and went. The wedding was open to any one that wanted to come. Flowers, and flowers were everywhere. It was decided that the wedding would be at the holy temple. The doors never been oped, until now.
They married into a happy and beautful life.
Katara smiled as she remember the story with fondness. She was meditating in front of the closed doors of that very same temple, sakura blossoms sred all around her.Till this day they still haven't been opened after the wedding. No knows what the prince or the duaghter looked like any more, or what their names were. It didn't matter now. Li-en was now the ruler, and kind and witty ruler that she was. It is said that the rolyal family only gives birth to girls.
Which it hasn't seem to be proven wrong eigther, ever since the wedding only girls has been heirs, just the way the duaghter and serphhent wanted it to be. She would be give birth to her first baby girl in a few months, four to exact. Hoping the baby to be a healthy one, the shaman,and healers are takening all procosions needed and more.
Yes Katara miss Aang (kayko15) and the others, but she felt more at home here then any other place. And she didn't want to leave, no matter what. She remember the messager that came the day before, with a notice that thefire prince would be coming in a day or two, rooms have been made for him and his men, food, and clean clothes and bandages if needed. She couldn't wait to see the face of his when he sees her here! Ha! What folly!
She stood, making her ways down the long, and steep stairs, leading back into the city, near the palace, in which she stayed. She had a feeling the the prince would be here soon, and her feeling was proven correct, when a messanger from Li-en came towards her, "M'Lady! M'Lady! Lady Li-en sent me to tell you that the Prince would be here in an hour." he stated, out of breath.
"Thank you, heres a payment for your troubles," she said handing the young messenger a few golden coins.
"Oh M'Lady you shouldn't, this is too much!" he shouted, trying to give it back to her.
"No it is just fine." Katara stated, now moving away, towards the palace, not looking back.
She was now the High Shaman for this little, well not so little anymore, city. She has been training for what seems like years, which really was a few weeks, most of the things she already knew, from her past life as a high shaman in this city before... the avatar isn't the only one with past lifes yea know?
She walked into her quaters to get ready. She pulled out another High Shaman gown, this one was similar to the one that she had on, but was different all the same.
The skirt was like the other, but didn't have black shorts underneath, it was tied with a gloden like string, starting at the hip bones. The shirt was like the other one, ending 2in.under her breast. The right sleeve was a bell bottom one and went up to 1 1/2in. past her hand. The neck line was low enough to show the crease of her breast. A neckless with a dangled tear drop feel with all of the elements, but they didn't fight each other while in the drop.
A golden serphent circled around her left arm. Her windwillow mark shown, now high-lighted in a rich gold, and withthe becoming of her shaman-hood a golden star was place at the other side of her belly botton,with a peircing of a golden sun in her belly botton. Her hair down, it rolled down herback in waves, sakura blossoms growing withen them.And last but not least, her shoes were 1 in. thick, and the laces twirled up her nice tan legs to her knees. All in all she was a beautiful shaman.
She made her way down to the port, with Li-en, who had met her outside the palace. Walking she remebered the time when she really got to know the Prince.
(flashback)
It was dark when she awoke from her 'not so good slumber'. She decided to work on her bending, Not just water bending too.
She relized after the visit with the earth kingdom that she had other powers as well. After all it was expected out of all windwillow borns.
She was practcing fire when she heard a voice," So you can do other tricks as well."
She turned and saw Prince Zuko, it was no surprise, she knew he had been watching her for a few weeks. probaly trying to find away to capture her for the avatar. But he found out her secret instead.
Feeling another precence coming near she rammed Zuko into a tree.
"Hey what do you think you're doing?" she didn't seem to pay attention to him, but was looking around. He looked in the direction that she was looking at to see commander Choa.
"What the hel-." he was cut off when a pair of lips came upon his own. shocked, too shocked to move,just as Katara had planned it. Waited for Choa ti get out of hearing and sighting rage. She checked once more for his arua, it was far gone now. She moved away from Zuko, her lips now leaving his, both weretrying to catch their breaths.
It seemed like hours, before "What was that for?" Zuko questioned.
"I highly doubted that you wanted to get captured by Choa," she stated calmly, breathing just now getting back to normal.
"No, but you didn't have kiss me!" he shouted, blushing, or at least trying not too.
"You wouldn't be quite, so I improvise."
She started walking, then stopped," I saved your life, so at least this time wait until later to try to capture Aang ok?" she asked Zuko, looking over her shoulder.
He smirked, thinking of away to get back at her, "Ok, but on one condition,"
He started walking towards her, "What?" asked Katara, now backing up into a near by tree.
He smirked, stepping closer, until she was fully againest the tree and put one arm on each of her arms, keeping her still.
"Payback," he said and then kissed her fully, the kiss was just payback right? Then why did it turn into more? The kiss turn into a regular kiss, into a french kiss. Then it stopped all together. He left, and Katara slid down to the roots of the tree, "Wow,"
(end Flashback)
Her flashback was interrepted, when Li-en pullind on her sleeve whent hey arrived at the ports. The gates were closed. Ships were docked on the other side, but you had to walk in through this way. Li-en gave her a look that told Katara that she was in controll of this operation.
Katara snapped he fingures, looking up at the gate keepers. They nodded, pulling the triggers and thingy-mom-bobers.
The gates opened, and there stood a calm ex-commander, his men, and a very, very, shocked prince. They stood there for what seem like hours, in which were only a few minutes.
"Welcome to 'The City of The Four Nations," said Li-en, bowing, as Katara did the same, "My name is Queen Li-en, I"m am Flamedwater. This is my good friend,and High Shaman, of all elements, Katara, who is a windwillow.
"I"m Iroh, and this is Prince Zuko, of the fire nation," said Iroh.
Katara stepped forward, knowing what to do, "As was said, I'm Katara, and I ask of you and your men, is that while your here, you will abade by our rules. The most cruelsion one is that is you touch the opposite sex, without their permission, you will have to face the consequences, wether it be slavery, marriage, battle, or even...death,"
cliffy!
