Five years later
He was walking in a dark cavern, glancing around at the walls lined with crystals. He stops when he sees two figures standing in front of him, both wearing cloaks with hoods raised. "Who are you?" he asks timidly.
One of the figures lowers their hood, revealing a woman's face. She was obviously water tribe, based on her deep mocha skin color. "We are here to guide you, young one."
"Why?"
The other figure steps forward. "We are here to help you not make the biggest mistake of our lives."
"'Our lives?' Who the hell are you?" the boy demands angrily.
The still hooded figure lowers his hood revealing his face. The boy gasps. It was his face, but older. On the left side of his face was a nasty scar. "I am you Prince Zuko, but from an alternate time line. Tomorrow, you will try to beg uncle to enter a war meeting. Don't, it will only lead you into a set of events that will end the world."
"But I need to enter that war meeting to learn how the court works first hand."
"No, do not enter the meeting. Right now you need to ask uncle to train your fire bending. In two years I will visit you again. Just remember that uncle is the only person you can trust. Do not worry about father, he is not worth your honor to please."

Zuko wakes up and looks around his room. "What a strange dream." Zuko stood up and looked around his room. It was the usual fire nation red, black, and gold. The room had three doors, one that lead to the hallway, one that lead to the bath chambers, and the last lead to his brother's room. He walked over to his closet and pulled out a red shirt, and black training pants. He walked to the door that lead to his brother's room and knocked. "Seph, you awake?"
"Ya, come in Zu." he heard his brother call from the other side of the door. Zuko enters his brother's room and looks around. It was odd, in the fact that it was a strange white and black, with a pattern of fighting angels and demons. "What do you need?" Sephiroth asks cheerily.
"I had a weird dream last night."
"What happened?"
"I met myself, but from a different time. I had this nasty scar on the left side of my face. He was warning me not to go to the war meeting today, the one we agreed to beg uncle to let us in."
"Anything else?"
"He told me he would visit in two years to help me find my path, and he told me to get uncle to train my fire bending. He also told me not to trust father, but always stick by uncle's side."
"So do you plan on listening to his advise?"
"I don't know. That's why I came to you."
Sephiroth looks out the window and sighs. "I'm not sure what to tell you, except that you need to follow your heart."
"OK. I am going to talk with uncle about this. Maybe he could help."
"Alright, I'll come with you. Give me a second to get dressed."
"OK, see you in a minuet."
Zuko walked into the hall and waited. While he waited he saw Mai and Ty Lee walking towards Azula's room. "Hey, girls."
Ty Lee smiles and greets Zuko. "Hey, Zuzu, whatcha doin'."
"Waiting for Sephiroth."
"Ohh, that hunk of a brother."
Mai sighs and pokes Ty Lee. "Come on, we need to hurry to Azula's room, before she gets mad." TY Lee nods and waves goodbye to Zuko. Soon Sephiroth steps out of his room. He was wearing a pair of black pants and an open black cloak, with belts crossing at his chest. His large katana was strapped onto his back. "Why do you always carry that thing."
"To keep your ass out of trouble." Sephiroth replies smiling. "And where are your Dao blades, little brother?"
"I left them in my room. I don't need them to visit uncle." Sephiroth sighs and walks into Zuko's room. He comes out a few seconds later with the swords and tosses them at Zuko.
"Never leave your swords behind, you never know when you will need them." Zuko nods and the two leave to find Iroh.

Kain was hiding in the trees, spying on a young, black haired woman. She was grooming a large beast, that resembled a giant mole. He shifts his weight, and some of the leaves rattle. Shit, is all he has time to think before the woman's whip wraps around his leg and pulls him out of the tree. Kain hits the ground hard. Suddenly he feels the woman's weight on his chest and her dagger at his throat.
"Who are you and what do you want?"
"My name is Kain, and I simply wanted to meet a beautiful woman like yourself."
The woman looks down and lifts Kain's helmet. "Hmm, your not too bad on the eyes either." she stands up and holds out a hand to help Kain up. He accepts the help and is soon on his feet. "My name is Jun. I am the best known bounty hunter in the earth kingdom."
Kain smiles and looks at the beast. "What is that creature?"
"That is Nyla, she is my shirshu."
"I thought they where untameable."
"They are, she isn't tamed. She is my best friend."
Kain smiles and looks back at Jun. "I guess I'm not the only one to befriend an animal. Rosa, come"
Suddenly a large blue dragon lands in the clearing. Jun whistles as she checks out the beast. "Beautiful, simply beautiful. I thought all of the dragons where hunted down years ago."
"Most where, but we came from a special village. Unfortunately it was destroyed five years ago, so now me and Rosa are the last of our kind."
"And what would that 'kind' be."
"I am a dragoon."
"A what?"
"A dragoon. An air bender with a dragon familiar. My armor is made from her scales, and my spear is tipped in her first lost tooth."
"So the rumors of air benders still being alive where true."
"Yup, unfortunately I am the last, so it is up to me to repopulate the race."
"Yes, so unfortunate your duty to have sex with hundreds of women to repopulate a race." Jun replies sarcastically.
Kain smiles and grabs Jun's hand. "Not hundreds, just one. And I have chosen her." Jun pulls her hand back and slaps rushes to Nyla and jumps on the creature's back. The two dart off, leaving a smiling Kain behind. "And the chase begins."

Jecht crouched in the snow, preparing to ambush the turtle seal pack infront of him. He jumps and uses water bending to prepale himself fifteen feet in the air. He then creates an ice ball and kicks it at the largest turtle seal, killing it instantly. He bends the ball back and kicks it again into the next target. He repeats the process until he has twenty turtle seals dead. He packs the creaturs on his sled and sails off back to the palace.
Here is chapter 1. Review and tell me what you think.
