CHAPTER 2: THE BEGGINING

It was about 60 or so years ago when I first met Aang. I and my brother Sokka were riding in a boat in the South Pole when we came upon an iceberg. I had noticed that someone was in there and was alive. I didn't care who or what It was, all I knew was that I had to get them out. When I opened the iceberg a boy emerged from it and was found opening his eyes in my arms. He had said his name was Aang and he was an air bender. We had yet to know that he was the Avatar.

He gave us a ride back to our village on his flying bison Appa, which sokka didn't believe to fly. I should him my village and my family. He also showed me how to have fun. Then, he took us penguin sledding. "I haven't done this since I was a kid!" "You still are a kid." Since the war has started and since I've lost my mom, I didn't think I could ever be truly be happy and have fun again, but Aang changed all that . And if it wasn't for him I would still had believed that were true. After penguin sledding. We came upon the fire nation war ship in the ice that has haunted my tribe for many years. We went inside and had accidently set off some booby traps and signaled the fire navy.

When we came back, sokka banished Aang from our village and made him leave, he thought he set off the signal on purpose to warn the fire navy. I was devastated, what I thought to of been the only chance for me to learn water bending was gone, and so was a new friend. Soon after, prince Zuko came to our village looking for the Avatar. He was terrorizing all of my people, but then Aang came back to help us. He then revealed that he was the Avatar and agreed to leave with Zuko if he left us all alone. He had given up his freedom and went to the fire nation as a prisoner for us. I knew I had to save him. Sokka and I then left on Appa to go and save him. When we finally cached up with them, Aang was in the Avatar state, water bending and destroying prince Zuko's boat. It was the most incredible thing I had ever seen. We left the Southern Water Tribe and started our journey to the Northern Water Tribe so that Aang could start his water bending, and for us to start our long friendship together.

"Why didn't you tell us you were the Avatar?" Cause I never wanted to be. . ." We began our journey heading to the Southern Air Temple, for Aang to visit his home. But I was afraid of what awaited for Aang.
