Chapter 1

"So, you mean I'm the Avatar? How can you be sure?"
"We knew when you started Waterbending at two. At Avatar Aang's final request, we let all the Waterbending children pick a toy in a pile. You were the first one, yet you didn't pick a toy, you picked this."
The elders held out a beautiful necklace that had a sapphire heart.
"My necklace!" she touched it.
"Yes, you chose Katara's engagement necklace."
"Avatar Aang's wife!" her eyes widened.
"Yes. You see, Aang told us to put it in there, and whoever picked it was the next Avatar."
"Wow. So I am the Avatar?"
"Yes. Now, we know you are a Master Waterbender, so now you must go master Earthbending. Good luck."

"Don't forget. First you master Water, Earth, Fire, Air. You must learn in this order. Water is cool, and calming. Earth is steady, and stable. Fire is ruthless, destructive, and alive. Air is essential, live-giving. Don't forget what we've taught you."

"Yes, master." she bowed. He bowed back. She exited the tent. "So, what was that about?" Pakku, her best friend asked. "I have important news. Where's Enya?" "She is with Mistress Kenya." "It's Healing Lessons today?" "Yep." "Go get her and tell her its important. Meet me at our place." She ran to the tent. She packed up everything she owned. She went by the river. She practiced for awhile. "Kiara? Pakku said you had something important to say." "I do. Pakku, Enya. Come on." "We haven't done this for years, Kiara. It must be really important. "Life changing." she said while she nodded. They sat in a circle holding hands. "What is it Kiara?" "Well, as you know, I had a meeting with Chief Nayuko. He told me...he told me that I was the Avatar." "No way!" Enya's eyes widened. "No. Are you sure it isnt a mistake?" Pakku asked. "I don't know, but they said that this" she held out the necklace, "was Katara's." She told them everything the elders had told her. "Wow. Well, we better pack." "We-we?" Kiara said, doing a double take while gathering her stuff. "What do you expect? We let you go alone and get killed by some Fire Nation soldier? No, we are going with you." Pakku said, standing up. "Well, I'm packed." she gestured to the sack. "We'll be back here at sunrise, okay?"

Kiara and Enya were sitting by the ocean's edge. Pakku finally came. "FINALLY!" she exclaimed. "You...try...carry...a...canoe...on...YOUR...back...!...help...?" They ran over and used Waterbending to set the canoe in the water. "You know that this city is completely rivers?" She was right. The Northern Water Tribe city had no streets. Only rivers. "Well...so?" She rolled her eyes. "Let's go. Got a compass?" Pakku tossed her one. "We are heading to Gilashi city...it's an Earthbending city on the coast. There we will trade in the canoe for supplies. We need to head South...west." They climbed in the canoe, and stared at their beautiful city. "We'll...return. Someday...when I've mastered Earthbending, okay?" They nodded, gulping down the tears. They set off.
