AN: Legend of the Ocean's chosen as told in the Northern Water Tribe.
Long ago, a child was born with white eyes, blind eyes. The father could not bare the thought that his son would never be able to see, and pleaded the waterbenders, the healers, even the great spirits for help. Finally one night he heard the voice of the Ocean. He told the father to bring his son to the sacred place. There the Ocean spirit gave the child the gift of sight, and his eyes become not blue, but the colour of the Ocean.
But in return for this gift, the child carried a piece of the spirits life, to safeguard. This gift meant when he was a man himself, he had to travel with his family to the south, and set up a new tribe. And at the end of his long life, pass the gifts of sight and life on to the next child to be born with white eyes.
I got a good response, and my muse was inspired!
