Chapter 3
Discovering a Hidden Destiny
Katara woke up from her meditation and groaned, "Oh great…"
She looked around and yawned slowly and returned to her hut…
"Katara, I was so…"
"Shut up!" snapped Katara.
"Katara, I am really…"
"You worry about me too much!"
"Katara, I don't want you to get killed!"
"Shut up Sokka!"
"Katara…"
Katara went to sleep before she heard the rest of what her brother wanted to say…
Katara walked over towards the exit of the village and saw Fire Nation guards guarding the exit…
"Damn them!" spat Katara and charged right at them and knocked the unconscious and step over them and laughed, "Suckers!"
She walked over to her canoe and saw her brother fishing and called, "Sokka! Hey Sokka!"
Sokka looked at her and ran up to her and began, "Katara, you shouldn't go out there, it looks like there's a storm coming…"
"Relax Sokka, I'm a waterbender, what can possibly go wrong?"
"Never speak too soon Katara." Replied Sokka and Katara looked at him and replied, "Relax Sokka, I'll be fine, I am only rowing to the Blossom Sea…"
"Oh alright, it isn't that far, so I guess you'll survive…"
"Thanks Sokka!" smiled Katara and hugged her brother and tucked her bangs behind her ear as she got into her canoe and waved to her brother as she waterbended out into the sea…
"Careful Katara…" whispered Sokka as he felt the wind pick up and groaned, "Katara, you just had to go now didn't you?"
Katara continued to paddle out in the sea fighting against the waves and spat out the salt water and caught a sightings of a wave and that crashed right on her and suddenly she fell into the darkness…
Something called her name…
Katara…Wake up my dear child…
Mother…?
Wake up my child; you will rise with the Moon…
I do not feel the same…
You will gain the power to defeat the Fire Nation, free our Tribe, become Princess Katara of the Southern Water Tribe…
I can not…
You must and you will my dear child…
"Katara! Katara, wake up!" yelled a voice…
"Mom…" groaned Katara.
"Katara wake up! It's me Sokka!"
"Sokka…" she groaned and slowly opened her eyes and muttered, "What happened?"
"Oh thank goodness you are alive!" laughed Sokka as he embraced his sister and Katara looked around, she found herself in a medical hut, her grandmother was beside her brother and gave her a smile and Katara whispered, "What's going on?"
"Katara, you have been out for three days my dear…"
"Three days!" exclaimed Katara.
"Yes." Replied Sokka as she stared at her grandmother and her brother and asked, "What happened?"
"You were pulled under…" replied Sokka.
"No…No…I heard this voice, it sounded like Mother, she was talking to me, she was saying something about me becoming the Ocean Spirit, the village relies on me to free them from the Fire Nation wrath…"
Sokka and their grandmother exchanged glances and Sokka hurried to close the hut door and their grandmother pulled a stool beside Katara and took her hand and whispered, "You must keep quiet about that…"
"About the Ocean Spirit?"
"Yes." Replied Sokka, "You will be in great danger."
"What?"
"The Fire Nation soldiers and the village people, including us saw the Water Temple's crystal was glowing, it means a new leader was born." Replied their grandmother.
"Huh?" asked Katara.
"Well, you see…I had a dream, the same dream as your brother the night the crystal glowed…It told us that you are the Princess of the Southern Water Tribe, the villagers are building a palace right now until they get further notice about who is the Princess, or Prince. They cannot know that you are the Princess of the Ocean Spirit."
Katara nodded and looked at her hand and gasped, "Uh…My skin color…."
Sokka chuckled and replied, "Katara, you are going to have some changes…"
Katara touched her hair, her grandmother handed her a cup of tea and chuckled and replied, "You may be a little shock that you are the Ocean Spirit…"
"I AM THE OCEAN SPIRIT!" exclaimed Katara and looked at her grandmother and asked, "How will I hide my secret?"
"By wearing this!" laughed Sokka as he threw her a cape as she got out of bed and pulled her hood on and smiled, "You are seriously pathetic Sokka!"
"Yeah really!" laughed Sokka then suddenly snapped, "HEY!"
Katara and Sokka walked out with their grandmother and passed by the soldiers and they looked at Katara suspiciously… and she snapped, "What?"
The were shocked by her respond and quickly marched away…
"Nice one…" chuckled Sokka.
"My gift!" joked Katara.
Sokka and her went into their hut as their grandmother went to bed…
Katara yawned and looked at her brother fell asleep…
It wasn't long to have that strange dream again…
Katara my dear, wake up, come to the shore of the ocean, I am waiting for you…
Mother, why am I the Ocean Princess?
It was your destiny…
Katara woke up wide awake and looked at her brother that was still asleep peacefully she looked outside, it was early in the morning, the sky was still pale…
Katara pulled on her cape and snuck out and left a note for Sokka and headed to the ocean shore…
She arrived and felt the wind brush through her and pull her towards a high cliff and Katara whispered to the wind, "Why are you bringing me to the highest point of the South Pole?"
"To give your people hope…" responded the wind.
"But they already know…"
"But the Fire Nation soldiers are coming to attack, look ahead of you…"
Katara looked across of the sea and the wind continued, "They are here to finish their task Katara, you must stop them…Are you ready, they'll attack by nightfall…"
"Yes, I am ready…"
The wind suddenly died and Katara ran back to her brother and gasped, "Sokka!"
"What is it Katara?" panic Sokka as he saw Katara's worried face and gasped, "They are coming, the Fire Nation, they are coming to finish us off…"
"No, they can't!" screamed Sokka and ran out of the hut and ran around the village warning the people while Katara returned to the cliff and looked at the village and felt her eyes swell up with tears and blinked them away as they were wiped away from the wind and Katara looked at the ocean and whispered, "I will fulfill my destiny…"
