Disclaimer: If I owned the Avatar….would I be writing Fanfiction?

"What…..How do you know….are you sure?" A young girl's voice asked the council of fire sage's that sat before her.

"We've known since you were very little, today is your 16th birthday and the day we're expected to tell you of your destiny." One of the fire sage's responded.

"I see…" The young girls voice said quietly, the hair from her black ponytail fell over her shoulder and caressed her cheek, she sighed kept her eyes on the ground.

"Zuke, you are the avatar, you have a duty to this planet and to the spirits, you have already mastered firebending, you must leave and master the other elements in time." The fire sage practically demanded her, he was worried about her, she needed to learn airbending, but with only three airbenders on the planet, it was very doubtful she'd be able to master it.

Zuke bowed her head and stood up, she didn't know what to make of the situation or how to react, and she knew this would mean leaving her home, her family and her friends.

She shuffled her way outside to where her friend was waiting; she sighed and looked up at her. "So, what did the fire sage's want?" Aki asked her life long friend.

"Nothing……except…I'm the avatar" Suke responded quietly, she lower her head and kept her eyes on her feet.

"NOTHING! WHAT DO YOU MEAN NOTHING? THIS IS SO GREAT MY BEST FRIEND IS THE AVATAR!" Aki bellowed as she jumped while holding onto Zuke's shoulders.

"But…..Why aren't you excited?" Aki said as she stopped bouncing, she always dreamed of being the avatar and being all powerful, she wanted to help the world just like Zuke.

"Because….I have to leave the fire nation…and travel to learn the other elements….maybe I can put a stop to this war, like I always dreamed." She said quietly as her golden eyes scanned her friends face for a reaction.

"What….why? Why can't they come to you? You ARE the avatar; shouldn't they treat you like royalty and not make you travel?" Aki tried making a point; Zuke shook her head and sighed.

"It's not that simple Aki, if I don't travel, the rest of the planet will assume me lazy…and unworthy I don't want that, especially if I want to help the world" Zuke explained to her.

Zuke started walking towards her home with Aki following close behind her trying to convince her it wasn't worth it to leave. Zuke merely processed the information but only kept in her mind the rest of the world needed her, and she couldn't let her 'selfish' feelings get in the way.

When Zuke walked in her front door with Aki still following behind her, she looked at her mother sadly. Her mother's eyes scanned her and immediately knew what had happened, she had known about her daughter's destiny for quite some time but knew it wise for the sage's to be the ones to tell her. She knew her daughter would be leaving soon and had already packed her bags for her.

"Hey sweetie…what's the matter?" Her mother asked trying to act like she didn't know.

"I'm the avatar…mom…I have to leave …leave you…leave my home...leave my friends…just to learn how to bend some stupid elements!" Sake said raising her voice slightly as flame daggers shot from her fists.

Her mother tried to calm her down and rested her hand on her shoulders, "Shhhh shhh it'll be okay, just don't worry about it, you can leave as soon as you're ready, I have your bags packed for you."

"My what….you knew? You knew I was the avatar and never told me? Mom how could you, my whole life is changing and I've only had 2 hours to ponder on it! Now I have to leave and you're practically shoving me out the door! Zuke was furious that her mother had kept it from her, she had no time to think and barely any time to say goodbye, with this war she needed to learn the elements as fast as she could.

Zuke stormed out the door and her mother looked at Aki, Aki shook her head and raised her hands and walked out after Zuke. Zuke had already made it half way down the street and was practically on fire; she had daggers shooting from her fists and was swearing incoherently as she walked.

Zuke had a temper that was obvious, but she was a very beautiful girl and cared about others. She had waist length raven hair he wore in a high ponytail held up by a red tie ( like zuko's) that she braided during training, her eyes were a brilliant golden color which hasn't been seen in her family in over 4 generations. She had a very muscular body for a girl, but not overly muscular to where it was practically obscene. She had large breasts for her age which she often complained about during training, and had a burn mark on her back the shape of a bird with its wings spread, she had gotten it during a fight with an older boy who was picking on a little girl. She wore a sleeveless Chinese style very dark red shirt that cut off over her belly button, under it she wore her training shirt which was a strapless bright red shirt that only covered her breasts, her pants were baggy and tied around the ankle so they don't trip her, she had armbands around her upper arms (like any Firebender) and she had a small self tattoo of a flame on her shoulder.
