-Epilogue
Sokka the sword master, the war hero, the genius, lived a very happy and long life with his son and wife. (They had decided it was best for Bato to not split.) He helped put an end to the hundred year war. He worked on the original plans for Republic City. And he was the great grandfather of the new Avatar, Korra. He was funny, sarcastic, witty, and the greatest brother a girl could ever ask for. With his passing he rejoined his long lost love Toph.
Katara pointed to Toph's statue. Next to her stood two more monuments on either side. The one on the left was a wise looking monk, it was Aang, he had passed in his sleep fifteen years ago. Apparently being 165 took its toll on the body.
On Toph's right side stood a tall muscular warrior with a sword. This was Sokka; he had just recently passed on leaving Katara with only Bato and her son Tenzin. He was 83 and had died of an unknown illness. Some say he couldn't wait any longer to be with Toph in the afterlife and Katara started to believe it. There was nothing wrong with Sokka when he had died. She had tried healing him herself.
Katara smiled as she looked at her family on the wall. One day it would be her turn to join them. Even Zuko and Mai would be sculpted onto the wall when their time came. The Gaang would be immortal on the great inner wall of Ba Sing Se.
She turned back to the crowd. "Please do not be sad for Sokka. He would want you to be happy for him, he had been waiting his whole life to be with Toph again, and now he is."
Katara stepped away from the podium and walked back to the seat next to her niece. Korra was 15 years old and already a master waterbender, which Katara had trained. She also knew how to earth and firebend. Katara had told her the story of her great grandfather and Toph. Korra had never known of their secret love.
Bato taught Korra how to earthbend. He used the same technique Toph had used when she was alive. He could even bend metal just like his aunt. Sokka had even given him Toph's meteor bracelet when he had died. He had told him that he could keep it, but before his time came, he had to return it to Toph's statue and bend it back onto Toph's wrist.
Bato had become the strongest earthbender alive, but no matter how good he got his father told him Toph was better. The funny thing is Bato didn't doubt Sokka. Especially after the story he had told him of Toph defeating fifty warriors including the greatest firebender ever, while protecting himself.
Truth be told Bato never actually got as good as Toph, but had gotten very close. Sokka told him he was so strong because Toph's spirit gave him his unbelievable power.
When everyone had left Bato walked over to Toph's grave. He pulled the old pansy out of the ground in front of her memorial. It was the one he had left last visit.
Bato replaced it with a new one like he did every week.
Since He was a child his father would bring him here every Friday and leave her the same flower. Apparently it was Toph's favorite.
Bato turned his gaze to Toph's monument, like his father before him; he couldn't wait to see her again.
Years later the inner wall was finally complete. All of the hero's of the hundred year war became immortal.
They would always be together in the afterlife, and eventually they would be joined by their families.
