Chapter 1
The sun was setting in the hidden village of Relau. This village was composed of water-benders skilled in the art of ice. This village lived in peace on an island south of the North Pole. They keep themselves hidden by shrouding the island in mist, and pushing boats away from their home.
But there was a disturbance.
All of the villagers were crowding around this one building, it was the Infirmary. This isn't really new though, our village warriors are always hurting themselves through their rigorous training. Mostly only the younger recruits are hurting themselves. Yet there is never a crowd like this before.
My name is Vern. I'm one of the Guardians of this village. I have learned the art of water-bending to the point that I cannot learn no more. I am not the strongest, but one of the best. I made my way through the crowd by jumping on the clay homes roofs. The windows were being blocked by children and adults so I had to shove my way through.
Inside the building, I saw three of our best healers. On the bed I could only see colorful robes of orange and yellow. The person's hands were svelte and fine. I couldn't see his face because one of the healers was blocking it.
Then I saw his face when the healer moved to grab a cloth. It was a girl. How disgusting. Her face was pretty and pale. Flowing yellow hair like the sun, her ears were sticking out a bit and her lips were medium sized, with high cheek bones.
I hate women. Well, I don't hate them, but they distract me from my job. All I have ever known women to do is seduce men, and take them away from your life.
I tried to leave but the door was blocked by the leader of the Guardians. His name was Gard.
"You have always had a great curiosity Vern." His deep voice surrounded me with anxiousness.
"Who is she, how did she get her?" Those were the first words out of my mouth.
"She washed up on shore, how that happened without our knowing I don't know. Who she is, is still a mystery." I looked over to her body and saw her eyes beginning to flutter. I need to get out now before trouble follows me. The window was finally cleared so I made my way to it. Then ice covered the window, prohibiting my escape.
"Where do you think your going?" Gard asked.
"I need to finish my problem that I started; if you don't mind." I never looked back at him.
"I actually do mind. You need to postpone your petty problem, and see that this girl has traveled safely back to land, somewhere near the earth kingdom if you don't mind." I hate this man with a passion. I truly do. Gard knows I hate women, he knows my problem isn't petty, but I can't disobey, he was like a father to me. Mine is dead, along with my mother and older brother.
"W-where am I?" A voice questioned. I looked over and it was the girl. Her eyes were gorgeous, their color warmed me on the inside, and they shone with bright green like fresh grass in the early morn.
What am I thinking? I need to get out of here. Wait I can't, Gard told me to stay.
"You are safe miss. Please relax, you are safe here." One of the healers told her. I eyed Gard with intense fury, but he just smiled.
"You will stay with her. Make sure she is fine. You will leave with her in the morning." With that said, Gard left. The healers were finished and decided to leave. I knew one of them and begged him to stay.
"I am sorry Vern but I cannot. My wife kids are calling me. Just don't freak out like last time." With that he left. I cannot believe I'm left with this girl, this very attractive girl…I won't last the night.
