This is my first avatar fanfic. It follows the story of another remaining air bender and his group, and their journey to defeat the fire nation, and their encounters with the avatar.

Just keep running. They can't kill you if they can't catch you.
Inari ran, trying to keep up with his father. The fire nation soldiers were after them, and they didn't look like they wanted to just say hi.
"After them! Don't let the airbenders escape!"
Blasts of fire followed these words. Inari ran harder.
While they had the advantage in speed, the firebenders had already come up with a strategy. Inari and his father's path became blocked. A man came from the circle. He had dark hair and long side-burns.
Inari's father stood in a fighting stance. "Lieutenant Zhao."
The man frown, then smirked. "That's Commander Zhao. Better show some respect. Your very lives are on the line."
Inari felt his head jerk back, a knife put to his throat. He held back a scream.
"Inari!"
"Now tell us. WHERE IS THE AVATAR?"
Inari's father's face showed confusion. "The Avatar! He disappeared a hundred years ago!"
Zhao frowned at the lack of cooperation, a dangerous tone in his voice. "Yes, but you're an air bender. You know where he is."
Then, as quick as lighting, Inari was scooped up and taken among the trees. His father set him down on a branch, handing him a staff. "If trouble comes, I want you to run." His father jumped down. Inari heard the clash of weapons and screams of pain. Pretty soon it stopped. There was a silence.
"Dad?"
Inari jumped down to check out what happen. Inari's eyes grew wide.
His father's body had been pierced in every spot imaginable by spears and swords, and burn marks scorched his body. Inari felt a tear go down his face. "No…"
Zhao smirked. "And so is the fate of those who appose the fire nation." A cold struck Zhao. Zhao turned. The wind picked up. Inari clenched his fists. A small tornado formed around him. It slowly changed shape, from a twister to a wolf. Zhao gasped.
This can't be the same kid.
Inari put a fist forward, the wolf howling before going towards the fire nation soldiers. It moved swiftly, knocking out all of the soldiers in its path. Zhao had one thought before blacking out.
My worst defeat. 200 fire navy soldiers taken out by one kid.
Inari's tears hit the ground and he ran off onto the trail, fainting halfway through it.
A short chapter, but it's only the beginning.
