Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Southern Soulmates. Enjoy the 800-Chapter word. I don't own LOK Michael Dante DiMartino, Bryan Koniezko and Nick do.
(Southern Water Tribe)
Haden looked back at the Water Tribe, he strapped the water pouch around his waist, the Southerner wasn't the boy he used to be.
Then again, being 9 years older played a role in that, Haden walked onto the stairs and looked up at the ceiling.
"She runs off and without a single post card… Same old Kor I grew up… At least I got told where I have to go." Haden said, he ran his hand over the railing as he walked down the steps and further into the ship.
That was when the 17-year old Water Bender was knocked to the ground by someone, he blinked and leapt to his feet quickly.
"Sorry, I'm so sorry!" Haden heard, he looked at the boy with what was obviously an Earth Kingdom set of clothes, though from what he heard the style resembled something from where he was headed.
Republic City.
"That's fine, buddy, no harm, no foul." Haden said, dusting himself off, the Water Bender helped the Earth Kingdom teen up.
"Wait, you're a Water Bender, aren't you?" The teen asked, Haden rolled his eyes and pulled down the hood of his parka to show his brownish hair all Waterbenders seemed to share.
"No, I'm just a guy who likes to dress like one, dude. Yes, I am a Waterbender, the Parka and the fact that I look like a Waterbender not help tell you anything like that?" Haden asked, he crossed his arms, the boy chuckled and scratched his head.
"Sorry, it's just, I haven't met one before, not many come to Republic City, at least from the South I heard. I'm Raddon by the way." Raddon said, Haden nodded and smiled.
"Haden, and yeah, we're a bit too cold blooded to leave our icy paradise, I'm going to visit a friend who ran off to Republic City… That and look for Daiki who came with me on the ride." Haden said, before Raddon could answer, Haden spoke up again.
"Before you ask, Daiki is a big, lazy, Snow Leopard Caribou who is probably trying to feast on the food here and then sleep until I find him, lazy cat… Still, he's family, I'd never leave the South without him around to keep me company." Haden said.
Raddon looked around before said hearing what sounded like a hiss from the other side of the ship.
"That's probably him, I'm going to go get him, Raddon, maybe we're meet again. I'm going to also play Probending when I get up to Republic City, I just need to find a team which means finding an Earth and Firebender. I do that, and I'm set to kick butt." Haden said, he turned and walked away, not knowing he would indeed see Raddon again, and it would be sooner then he thought.
Haden continued on, he gently pushed past people who clearly looked like they were either from Republic City, or were too wealthy to care about a Water Tribe teen.
"Where is that big pain? He should be somewhere around here? Seriously, I leave him alone for 10 minutes and he's gone already. This is going to be the last time I let that giant furball run around without keeping a leash on him." Haden muttered, he wanted to find Daiki before he got to Republic City, if he didn't, he'd have to put off finding Korra.
"Seriously, where did he go?" Haden asked, he was about to leap overboard to look for Daiki when a massive plume of fire followed by blaring alarms cut him off.
"Ok, either that's a firework show, or something is wrong." Haden joked before he flipped onto a higher level and heard shouting from the other side of the ship.
"Thief, somebody help! He stole my money! That Firebender stole my money!" Haden heard, he sighed and shook his head.
"And just when I thought there wasn't enough to worry about." Haden said, he manipulated the water from a fountain and threw himself to the top of the ship before using the water to lift himself down to see someone in a red tunic with Amber eyes generating a Lighting Blast.
"Oh, you must be the entertainment here!" Haden joked, he unscrewed his water pouch.
Author Notes
Phew, another chapter done! Yes, I know it is a short chapter, I promise next one will be a bigger chapter. I also want to point out Haden and Korra are paired up for anyone who thinks Korra is going to be paired with Asami in this story. Next chapter will be next Wednesday and will show Haden fighting the Firebender. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
