Hi guys! Sorry for the really long wait on this one, kinda having writer's block and school is preventing me from finishing as early as I want to. Each scenario I picture in my head ends up similar to Avatar Last Air bender, so the story will take longer to write. Originally this chapter was going to be very long, be I decided to split it into 2 or 3 chapters. You will just have to wait for the second part! Hehe. Hope the spacing is better. Please review! Also please tell me if this is turning out similar to LOK or ATLA. And tell me if you prefer me continuing in 1st POV or 3rd POV. Quotes from Avatar The Last Airbender series have been used in this text.

I don't own Avatar The Last Airbender nor Legend of Korra. Did you guys see the book 4 sneak peek? I feel bad for korra, now that she has

nightmares. I am also wondering why she cut her

hair.

Book 1:Wondering

Chapter 5: Learning

Sean's POV:

The Avatar, some White Lotus members, and the Chief of the Southern Water Tribe had arrived about 7pm yesterday. Being Crown Prince of the Fire Nation meant that I had to greet them. My 13-year-old sister had seemed very excited to have guests. I had a feeling she would be too excited though, so I decided to hang around my sis in case, my sister accidentally starts trouble. The Avatar seems a little too polite, so gotta watch out. The Chief of the Water Tribe seemed concerned, and had a letter in his hand. Today, during breakfast my sister had started a conversation with the avatar and her friend. Apparently, the avatar's name is Cheryl, and her big sister Akina had came along. Or something like, I was only half paying attention. Cheryl seemed startled by my sister Lily's hyper personality & fast talking. Akina , on the other hand seemed to handle the situation quite well. Which made me quite puzzled, but then again all big sisters probably dealt with situations similar to these.

During the mourning, I watched my sister give a tour to Cheryl & Akina. After the tour Cheryl & Lily chattered excitedly about their experiences on a bench in the far end of the garden. I on the other hand, decided to sit by the pond and feed the turtle-ducks. Akina then sit nearby.

"Hello, my name is Akina. What's yours?" she asked.

"Sean. Nice to meet you." I replied. There was an awkward silence after this. Akina rubbed her arms as if she was cold.

"So...you from the Southern or Northern Water Tribe?" I said to break the silence.

"My mother is from the Southern Water Tribe, and my dad is from the Earth Kingdom. Though I turned out to be more like my mom's side though. I became a master water-bender. I can heal too."

"Already? That's fast."

"I guess, my family is middle class. So we were able to get a water bending master quickly. I had been learning since I was 4 or 5. You a master fire bender?"

"Yep, can bending lightning too." She nodded.

"How come you wasn't surprised by Lily's hyperness? I usually lose my temper with her." My curiosity getting to me.

"I deal with it most of the time with Cheryl. She may not look like it now, but Cheryl can be very hyper at some points. She even threw a party on the ship along the way here. Though she usually becomes cheerful to ease tensions in the air." I nodded and stared at the baby turtle ducks.

"So, is she going to learning fire bending? She is the Avatar, besides I overheard that there is a situation with the Earth Queen." At first Akina seemed surprised that I had knowledge of the information, but then her face expression turned back to normal as if she expected a person like me to already know. Suddenly I heard clapping noise, we all turned to the direction of where the noise came from.

It was my father.

"Avatar Cheryl, sorry to disturb your conversation, but your fire bending teacher has arrived." Cheryl's eyes seemed to sadden a bit, she sighed and followed my father to meet her teacher. I huffed, her duty was to bring balance to the world, she didn't need to be aggravated about it. For me, I've always thought that our priority was our jobs. However, as a Prince in a peaceful era I didn't do much.

I followed my father to the court yard, when I saw Mr. Johnson. My sister ran up to him, and gave him a hug. I shook his hand. He was once our fire bending teacher when we were little, but then got sent somewhere else for unknown reasons. It was nice seeing him again.

"Roger, this is Avatar Cheryl." My father said. Cheryl stepped up and bowed. Mr. Johnson bowed back.

"Because this is your first fire bending lesson, most of it will be me talking and demonstrating." said Mr. Johnson. Cheryl nodded, the fiery passion out of her eyes. I frowned, to be a fire bender you needed to be passionate & lively. How was this girl able to do fire bending without the basic emotion concept?

Cheryl's POV:

For some reason, I was just not into the mood to do fire bending. Being an earthbender seemed different from fire bending and it made me feel uncomfortable. Roger's voice knocked me back to reality.

"Fire is the element of power. Its all about life and energy. The will to accomplish desires and tasks." I frowned, it seemed so forceful, like having no back-up plan. Roger then produced a flame in his right hand that was as big as his fist.

"Try to produce a flame like mine." He nodded to my own right hand. I closed my eyes. Fire...my will... my want to do my best as the avatar...my want to protect my loved ones. I then felt heat from my hand. I opened my eyes. There was actually a flame in my hand like my teacher! I smiled, the warmth of the flame seemed to make me feel better. Maybe fire bending wasn't so bad after all. After that Roger showed me a bunch of techniques. I did pretty decent, but occasionally tripped. I laughed them off though, I was used to pain from flying rocks, and falling onto the ground wasn't any different. Fire bending was more like blasts instead of the sturdy and stubbornness of earth bending. Roger was a pretty patient man, I was happy that he wasn't the grumpy type. At the end of the lesson, Roger decided to tell me more about being the avatar. Akina, Sean, and Lily also joined in to listen.

"As the Avatar, you have to master the elements and keep peace and balance in the world. Avatar Korra mastered 3 of the elements in a compound. According to the cycle, you have to master Earth, then Fire, then Air and finally Water..." said Roger. But I zoned out after hearing the order of the elements.

I felt like the word 'compound' brought an old memory. I studied the ground, and suddenly I was pulled into a vision. I was in a fire bending exam, well not exactly me. I was seeing through Korra's eyes. Around the sides of the compound were large walls of snow, there was a huge red rug below me and I was getting ready to battle two people. Then suddenly, everything whooshed past me as if I was going to different time period. I felt older and this time I was staring at a Avatar Korra's temple. But we were still in the South Pole. I closed my eyes, the temple was just on the outskirts of the capital of the Southern Water Tribe. I didn't have a visual, but I just felt like I knew where it exactly was. I blinked twice. Why was I seeing this? Am I suppose to come to the temple?

"It would be nice to see the next avatar. Maybe, I could talk to him or her in the future via this temple on winter solstices." I heard Korra say. Then a bright flash brought me back to reality. I decided to keep this info to myself for now and to tell the others later.

"You have a big responsibility, Cheryl. And I heard that there may already be some conflict going around the world. Mastering the elements is only part of your job." Roger continued on

"How come I have to master the elements? Can't you have a team of people that are masters of each element to 'save' the world?" I asked. Roger sighed and got up. He picked a medium-sized stick. Roger drew an earth bending symbol.

"Earth is the element of substance. The people of the Earth Kingdom are diverse and strong. They are persistent and enduring" Roger then drew the Fire bending symbol.

"Fire is the element of power. The people of the Fire Nation have desire and will. They also have the energy to achieve what they want" Next, he drew the air bending symbol.

"Air is the element of freedom. Air Nomads detach themselves from worldly concerns and found peace and freedom." Roger paused and looked at me as if waiting for the information to sink in.

"So by learning the elements, the avatar is able to understand each nation along with its people. Making them strong physically and mentally." I said in realization. Roger smiled.

"You catch on pretty catch fast." I smiled, but then frowned. Being the Avatar meant I was taking on an adult's job already. I had always knew that I would be an adult someday and the fun would end. But as the Avatar, you literally can't have fun anymore, everyone is counting on you. Akina noticed my frown.

"You okay Cheryl?" she asked.

"Yeah" I replied and got up to do a little stretch. I looked at the sky, the sun was setting. It reminded me of the times I stared at Aang Memorial Island back at Republic City.

"Why don't we all enjoy nature or a little TV?" I said cheerfully. Akina looked at me as if she knew something was wrong. Sean looked like he was trying to decode the silent message between my sister and me, but then he shook it off.

Lily instantly jumped up.

"Come on Mr. Johnson! Let's watch the Special Pro-bending Program they have today!" said Lily as she pulled him inside. Nowadays, Air-benders could join pro-bending but because not many air benders want to do pro bending, only a certain tournament during a certain time of year is when teams can include air benders. This special tournament was shown on the color-TV as the Special Pro bending Program.

While everyone payed attention to Lily's burst of excitement, I sneaked away to Sona. She was resting in the Royal Stables. The place was pretty well kept. The stables was like any other one other than the fact that it was bigger, the red paint was more intact, and the insides didn't smell that stinky. Man, I wondered how they do it! I carefully placed the saddle on her back and gently woke her up. I then guided her to the stone walls that protected the palace, I closed my eyes and used seismic sense to detect the width of the walls. I then earth bent a huge deep tunnel for Sona and made a flame in my hand. I hopped onto Sona's back and motioned her to the tunnel and told her to continue digging forward. I then closed off the tunnel opening, making it look like no one had earth bent there. I smiled, maybe being the avatar wasn't so bad if I could sneak away every once in a while.

So...yeah, this chapter was suppose to be longer like ,10 pages long. ^-^ Iroh is Fire Lord here! Yeah so hope school is going good for you guys. I will post the other chapters later to give me some more time to type and think. My school gives me me a lot of HW, so its kinda hard to find time to type my fan fiction. Please remember to review, I really need the support.
