This is set before Aang finds out about the comet. Also some of this info might be out of date because the only channel that shows avatar is only at book 1: water so Aang is just learning water-bending and is taking his time getting to the North Pole, not knowing he needs to rush.
CHAPTER 1: siramiris
"Remind me again why we're stopping here?" Katara sighed as she, Aang and Sokka where gliding over a vast ocean on Appa, Aang's flying bison-thingy." I mean we've stopped at nearly every island so far. At this rate we'll never get to the North Pole.
"Because someone's eating all the supplies" Aang shouted back.
Katara gave Sokka a killer glare.
"Hey! I'm not the only one who's been eating! Look at the monkey" Sokka shouted, trying to defend his rumbling stomach
Momo hissed like a cat.
"For the last time, he's a lemur and he doesn't like being called MONKEY" Aang shouted over the howling winds
"Ohh, a thousand pardons your highness"
((((30 minutes later)))
"Are we THERE yet. I'm STARVING! How LONG is this going to take" Sokka whined.
"We should be there in about 3hrs." Aang answered and returned guiding Appa across the vast ocean.
"I knew this would happen"
"then why didn't you pack extra food"
"I did" Katara said and quickly threw a deer hide bag at Sokka. She succeeded in nearly knocking Sokka out and over the edge of Appa. Sokka's pout quickly turned to a grin as he rummaged inside the bag and pulled out an apple.
"I'm going to savour this. One little bite at time, then it'll last me for about 10mins longer than normal." Sokka thought as he closed his eyes and prepared to bite into the succulent apple, to feel the juices run down his throat, to feel the smoothness on his lips to hear the delicious crunch it made. Only to be met by the salty sea air. Bewildered Sokka opened his eyes, to be met by Momo taking a huge bite out of the ruby apple.
"I'M GOING TO KILL THAT BLOODY LITTLE THING! GIVE IT BACK ! LET ME AT IT! THAT BLOODY MONKEYS ON THE MENU TONIGHT! GOIN TO F'ING KILL YOU!"
Aang grinned as Sokka tried to catch the lemur, which had now launched itself into the air. Momo fought against the hard winds Ducking and diving through Sokka's waving hands.
Aang frowned, if this wind kept up it would be very dangerous. Murphy's law states that if something can go wrong then 9/10 times it will. Just as if the fates were listening a gust of wind caught Appa by surprise. Throwing anything that wasn't tied down into the air. These things included a Katara, a surprised looking Sokka, and any bag that wasn't firmly tied down.
Aang held fast to Appa and quickly put him into a dive. Momo gliding overhead eyes huge with worry. Aang managed to get Appa under the tumbling Sokka. CRASH!
"Thanks Aang remind me next time to pack more pillows" Sokka croaked as he sunk into unconsciousness.
Aang never heard the thank you as he plunged over the side with his staff ready to open the glider at any moment. Katara was a blue blotch on the cruel turquoise mouth of the greedy ocean ready to swallow her up. Using his air-bending skills Aang gathered more speed until he was level with a screaming Katara. Grabbing on to her he opened the glider and shot up back towards Appa.
Laying Katara round he held his breath.
"Could she have died of fright or not been able to get enough oxygen, was she in shock"
Suddenly she began coughing then opening her deep blue eyes she reached up and pulled Aang into a hug. She didn't need to say thanks the one gesture said it all.
He looked at the mirror in his crimson chamber. The mirror reflection gently rocked in the rhythm of the ship. Why was he scarred like this? Would he have this…this mark for the rest of his life? Marked for eternity. Why did he have to chase this…this child across the world just to be aloud to see his family? He was a good fighter. He wasn't a cowardly sneak like Zhou and yet, his father favoured him over his own son, his own flesh and blood. No one would want him. This scar was a sign of disgrace and exile no beautiful Fire lady would want an exiled Prince. He shouldn't have to do this, chase a kid across the globe; his father shouldn't need him to…
Zuko's train of thought was interrupted by a loud knock on his dark-crimson door. Not waiting for the door to be opened for him, an old fat man entered pushing a trolley full of tea.
"Uncle, have you never heard of KNOCKING!"
"I did" the old, man said as he sat down on a high back crimson chair.
"Well, have you ever heard of WAITING"
"Ohh, silence young one"
Zuko frowned, his good eye twitched. Iroh, reading the signs, imediatley corredcted himself.
"Sorry, I meant not so young one"
Zuko was prepared to go into a full out fire tantrum (involves throwing uncontrolled fireballs all over the place) but stopped himself. The old man was just winding him up and was succeeding. Giving up Zuko through himself into the other dark crimson high back chairs and, for once, excepted the steaming mug of tea. Damn sea, so cold he thought he was going down with the flu. How he longed for the plains and great red cities of the Glorious Fire Nation.
"So Uncle is there anything we should discus?"
"Well, I was thinking about organising a chess championship with the crew but only…."
"I mean about the Avatar, Uncle, has there been any sightings of that giant flying beaver…"
"Buffalo"
"WHATEVER! Has anyone seen it?"
"Well, Zuko…"
"Yes uncle"
"You've got to stay calm"
"Why, Uncle as you have taught me a great leader is always calm and patient. Now please what do you want to say"
"Well, the avatar's flying buffalo has been sighted above the "Hakala islands", it looks like it's heading towards the island of Siramiris.
"Where is that?"
" Earth-bending Island, has a temple Devoted to Loka the forty-something avatar absolutely swarming with Wolves"
"Ahhh,"
"Yes it also known as that but being in the middle of nowhere it will be more defenceless"
"Excellent, Now if your finished I have to meditate" Zuko said getting up and lit each meditating candle with a handful of fire. The blood red candles' silver smoke circled around Zuko, he subconsciously played with the spirals till they vanished into nothingness.
"There is one more item I wish to discuss"
"Uncle, how am I supposed to meditate with all these distractions? You've told me so many time's that meditation is essential to my fire-bending and yet every single time I try to meditate you disrupt me…"
"Are we finished yet…" The old man interrupted
Zuko pouted.
"Well, Commander Zhoa is going to be arriving on the island 3 or 4 hours after us…"
"HE'S DOING WHAT! WHO THE HELL DOES HE THINK HE F'IN IS"
The meditation candles exploded like a new-ear fire works display, complete with rockets
Ohh IM finished my first chapter Wooness!. Please review. Incase you didn't read the bit above the disclaimer this story is set before Aang finds out above the Comet and after the air temple (hence Momo) and is lazily going to random islands. I might take sometime updating though so be patient. Also, REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW.
