DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN ANYTHING FROM ATLA
Also, I am new writing stories, so any feedback is welcome.
(This occurs a couple of days before the first episode of the series, the uniform of the Order is a green robe with a hood, a beige tunic beneath it and a brown belt with pouches and black boots).
It was hard to reach the South since a lot of ships don't go there thanks to Fire Nation and the Southern Raider but lucky for me a fisherman was going near there, I only had to pay him for the travel and for his little lifeboat since he only was there to fish and I had to keep going, the trip was hard enough with the cold and being 3 people on a ship for days makes conversations a little tedious but I started to miss the chats after leaving the ship to reach the first Water Tribe in sight, food was getting low and I almost lost the boat thanks to the ice in the surface of the sea, fortune change when I saw a deform tower on a wall and smoke coming from a big igloo in the distance.
I left the boat near to the village; I could hear a couple of children laughing as I was closing to the place but as soon as I enter the place the entire village went to silence.
"Hello? I mean no harm" I said to dissipate the silence as I started to look around with my hands up and taking my hood off, only to realize that the village was full of woman and children.
"With whom can I tra…?" I was interrupted by a man's voice and a spear pointing my chest.
"Who are you and what do you want?" said the man with a serious face looking at me with spear in hand.
"I'm hear only to trade and speak with the chief of the place about something that I'm looking for." I knew the man was not the chief since he was younger than me, soon after I answered both an old and a young woman came out of the igloo only to have the same expression that everybody had.
"I'm the chief" the man said but the only answer he got from saying that was a couple of laughs from the woman and children.
"Don't lie Sokka" the old woman replied with a smirk on her face, "We are not use to strangers here so what can we help you with?" said the young woman next to Sokka.
"I'm here to buy food and ask to whoever is in charge about the Fire Nation attacks to this place". I had to be honest if I wanted to leave and have my answers sooner but saying that made a lot of people angry.
"We have food, but we have not stories to tell you about the attacks, the Fire Nations has hurt too much" the old woman answered me that with a face of disgust.
"We have a Fire Nation ship cover on ice from the early days of the war" the young woman answers me and with that I was hoping to find anything that could lead me to the missing member of the order.
"Okay then, I would like to buy food from you and if anyone can take me to the ship that she mentions I will leave you in peace" I said, with a serious face the old woman accepted the deal, leaving the village behind the young woman took me to the ship and once there I asked "What is your name girl? So, I can thank you"
"I'm Katara and just be careful with the traps inside." she answered while leaving the place.
