Chapter 2:The Legend of the Stone

Katara lifted her head groggily and looked around. It was too dark to see anything except for the faint outline of a statue.Where am I? She blinked a couple times to get used to the darkness. As her eyes adjusted Katara had to bite back a scream. Zuko! And he was holding her hand. Gross!

Katara tried to jerk her hand away sending Zuko tumbling on top of her.

"Get off of me you--" Katara trailed off deciding it wouldn't be wise to say what she was about to say.

Finally Zuko opened his eyes and let out an enraged scream."Let go of me, water witch!"

"Me let go of you! You're the one who's hurting my hand you're squeezing it so hard!"

"Well maybe you better let go before I burn your hand off!" Katara winced as she felt her hand start to heat up, and tried to pull away. She froze, her hand wouldn't budge. Suddenly it hit her like a ton of bricks. When two hands of separate hearts meet here...

"We have to find a way out of here! We have to get back to the prophecy!"

Zuko's hand immediately cooled down as his face twisted in confusion,"What are you talking about?"

"Don't you remember?" Katara stared at him as if it was obvious," That temple. The wall. It was magic!"

Zuko rolled his eyes," I don't need to hear your idiotic water tribe lies. Now let go of my hand!" He thrust his whole arm upwards trying to separate them. That was a mistake. As he pulled Katara up their lips met.

There was silence for a few seconds as they kissed, not realizing what they were doing. He's a good kisser. Wait a minute! I'm kissing Zuko! She shrieked and pulled away."You just stole my first kiss!" She screamed a second time as a fireball smashed right above her shoulder.

Zuko's anger died down as they sat in silence looking away from each other." We should find a way out of here," Zuko finally mumbled.

-------------------------------

An hour later...

Katara's feet ached and she finally sank to the ground pulling Zuko with her. We'll die of starvation in here. How are we ever going to get home? As she leaned against a nearby stone she noticed something engraved in it.

"Look at this," she pointed to it," It's some kind of story."

----------------------------------------------------

150 years ago...

Princess Hikari of the Fire Nation was miserable. I miss you so much mother. A tear slid down her cheek. The world needs you. Father needs you. I need you. Why did she have to go? Why couldn't that avalanche have fallen on me instead?

The palace was too much for her. Everyone was so happy. No one seemed to care she had lost her one and only mother, her best friend. She ran out of the palace sobbing. Finally she sank down against a giant boulder in the woods. Ever since her mom had died Hikari's father hadn't been running the fire nation right. He rarely spoke to anyone and locked himself up in her room.

She sobbed onto the boulder."I wish you could find love again. Then maybe things would be okay. She fell into a deep sleep.

"Hikari? Hikari! Where are you?" The fire lord was out with his good friend Aya searching desperately for his daughter. He spotted her asleep in the distance and they both started to run at the same time and tripped, their hands landing on the stone. Their hands were stuck together.

Slowly as they spent more and more time together they fell in love. Soon they were separated but came together again when they married. Princess Hikari had a block of the boulder engraved and built into a temple, the Temple of the Sun and Moon.

Katara's eyes sparkled,"Isn't that beautiful, Zuko?"

"Yeah, I guess," but one look into his eyes and you could tell he was touched. Suddenly, Katara heard footsteps and turned around. She saw a fading image of a girl, about sixteen. She had long black hair and a beautiful red silk dress. You could tell just from looking at her she was royalty,"Hikari..." Katara breathed.

The girl smiled and nodded. She then walked over to thick vines and cut them aside. Katara gasped as they fell away. The way out! The princess put a finger to her lips and slowly faded away.

"Zuko! We can finally get out of here!" The waterbender motioned towards the exit with her free hand and they slowly walked out into the light.

"Well if it isn't the banished prince and his little girlfriend the waterbender. Two traitors. You'll be coming with me of course."
