Others: Chapter 1

Nobody's POV:

A cloaked figure appeared outside the gates of the Northern Water Tribe. Inside a bubble of water, earth, fire, and many different colored lights, the person raised its head so that it looked at the guards but kept its face hidden. They were obviously baffled. Who else could do that besides the Avatar? Then person in the sphere spoke,

"Open."

It was such a simple request, but one did not come barging into the Northern Water tribe city, unless it was a citizen or a person of importance going home or to a meeting. The guards didn't react though; no one could get inside without a special pass or a letter.

" I said to open the gates," the human form repeated, the voice was distinctively feminine.

"I would suggest for you to do as I say."

The sentry stood still. Unresponsive, unmoving.

"I could open this door if I wanted to. I have decided to be civil and a good guest, but that can change."

A faint chuckle could be heard from the guards now. Nobody could come in nor out without their consent. The strength of the gates had increased greatly, thanks to the Avatar.

"Sorry miss, but I cannot let strangers inside the city, all the citizens have been notified. A meeting is being held-" the man was cut off as the girl raised her hand.

Her cloak was swirling about her in the sphere, and two glowing ice blue eyes glared at the man. He was suspended in the air, about fifty feet up, not making a sound.

"Let. Me. In." she said slowly, stressing each word. The sphere was glowing brightly now only the Avatar could do that and she was defiantly NOT Aang.

"I, I'm really sorry but I can not. I am under strict orders from the Mistress of the Southern Water Tribe, to not let anyone in the great city. Its not our fault that we can't let you in." an anxious guard said, worried for his comrade.

The figure paused for a moment, and then let the guard she was holding down. Immediately, her eyes dimmed and the bubble slowed to a slow rotation.

Sighing she spoke, "Fine, I'll do it myself. Not like I need the practice anyways."

The person gestured one hand to the wall of ice, and the sphere moved up against the wall so the hand was touching it. One second passed and the Door came crashing down in little shards. The big ball of matter came floating near the ground, the disappeared completely into the air. Jumping down, she started to walk to the place where the meeting was held. One of the people on guard duty broke out of the trance that seemed to circle the benders,

"Hey, you aren't allowed in the city!" and he bended some water to fly right at her.

Right before it hit, the water stopped and flew right back at the man. Slowly turning, the man could see that intruder's eyes were glowing blue underneath her hood,

"Do you have a death wish? 'Cause I will be happy to oblige." Glaring at the bender spoke out against her.

All at once the guards on duty created a cage and flung it over to her. Holding up a pale hand, the girl quickly enlarged it and placed it around the men, who so foolishly had tried to ensnare her. Knocking out the first opposer, the cloaked person continued up the stairs and walked steadily into the palace.
