Chapter 2

Starting the Journey

16 years old Master Waterbender, walked along the Southern Water Tribe cold snowy terrain. The small area was nice a peaceful, quiet, perfect, life was perfect here, better than the Northern Water Tribe where the trading posts took place for merchants all around the globe.

"Hey Katara, there you are, I was looking for you! Gran-Gran is having her hiss fit again."

The waterbender looked at her brother and laughed, "Sokka, you shouldn't insult Gran-Gran!"

The Water Tribe boy laughed and asked, "Have you gotten any clues how to airbend?"

"No, I'm afraid, neither Earthbending, it's going to be impossible to learn Firebending without destroying anything!" sighed Katara as she looked up at her brother and grinned, "But last night I found out how to meditate for Firebending! I believe that when you're Firebending, you must have control when you are breathing, while I was mediating I had to focus on the flames and breathe in and out slowly, and when I breathed in the flame grew smaller, when I breathed out the flame grew bigger, interesting eh?" replied Katara excitedly.

"Very." replied Sokka sarcastically, "Now are you going to help me go fishing or what?"

"Ha, ha, ha." She laughed at her brother and asked, "Are you not going to take a fit because I used my magic to catch more fish than you?"

"No, and stop teasing me about that!" scowled Sokka as they walked back to the village.

Returning back to the village they picked up the canoe and placed it into the water and got in and Katara began waterbending the currents to send them to their fishing spot.

Sokka held his spear ready as Katara waterbended two dozen fish and began, "Sokka, I think I got enough for a week!"

"Erg! Katara, come on, let me catch one fish today please!"

"Fine, but don't make me stay here all day!" scowled the waterbending girl.

"Don't worry I won't…AH HA!" exclaimed Sokka as he thrust his spear into the water and laughed, "Katara, look I caught one!"

"Alright Sokka, you succeeded your first level, catching a fish on your first shot, tomorrow try to catch two fish in a row!"

"I will!" replied Sokka as he puffed up his chest as Katara shook her head unapproved with Sokka's reaction of bragging by puffing out his chest for no reason.

"Hold on tight Sokka, I am going to try airbending again."

"Oh no, remember…AH! SHITT KATARA!" hollered Sokka as Katara took a deep breath and forced the wind back to the village.

"Yes! I did it!"

"SHITT KATARA! Don't do that again!" scowled Sokka.

Katara laughed and climbed one of Sokka's watch towers as her brother climbed up behind her as she looked the opposite direction of her brother as he stared into the distance as he gasped and looked at Katara and began, "Katara, you need to leave."

"Why?" she stuttered from the shocking sudden comment.

"They are coming."

"Who?"

"The Fire Nation, you can't get captured, you need to go now! Pack up and leave, head towards an Earth Nation Territory and find a Master Earthbender, then search for a Fire Nation Deserter who happens to be a Master Firebender and get trained, after you master Firebending, search for scrolls with the bending illustrations of Airbending, you are to defeat Ozai and free the world, understand? No go!" shouted Sokka firmly as she ran into her hut and quickly began packing and came out and saw the village waiting to say good bye, saying good bye to her family she gets into a canoe and waved her final good bye to her friends and family and heads out into the ocean watching her homeland with her tribe disappear…

The Fire Nation ship approached the village and was led out by a scarred teen as he began, "Where is he? Where is the Avatar?"

"It's gone, the avatar fled, going to the Northern Water Tribe to Master Waterbending." Lied Gran-Gran.

The teen eyed the children and the adults then Sokka, "What does the avatar look like, tell me everything, or I'll burn down your precious village."

"He has brown hair, grey eyes, tall, 16 years old, there you have it; well enough?"

"That information will do." Grumbled the teen and ordered, "Get moving we are heading back North!"

Disclaimer: Short Chapter but the next one will be interesting.

Good for you Sokka protecting your sister by making up the avatar identities.
