Disclaimer: ATLA isn't mine. Neither is this song, which is, by the way, one of the sweetest and most adorable songs I know. Especially because it's by an artist who writes some of the most disturbing songs I know of. Seriously. The lyrics are so creepy, it's one of the artists I listen to for the music, not the lyrics, or message they are sending. Look some of them up. They are messed up. Wow, this is a long disclaimer. This story belongs to me, btw.
The Sages were wrong. They said Katara would corrupt the line, would be wrong for the country, would grow to hate him. She was too different. The Sages were wrong. They said it was only an infatuation, her beauty would fade, the distance between them and their countries would only grow. The Sages were wrong.
If the line was corrupted, why was their son beautiful, a prodigy? If she was wrong for the country, why did the people love her; why did she resolve every issue she came across peacefully and efficiently? If she had grown to hate him, why had she grown to love him even more than she had before, something he had thought impossible? Simple. The Sages were wrong.
The infatuation was revealed to be a deep, well-rooted love that had started when he saw her, strengthened when he tied her to a tree (they still laugh about that) and saved her from the pirates, tested under Ba Sing Se, and totally accepted when he took the lightening for her. Her beauty didn't fade; in his eyes at least, she was more beautiful than ever. The gap between them and their countries was completely sealed shut; there could never be a stronger alliance than the Fire Nation and the Water Tribes—except, maybe, theirs.
The Sages were wrong. Especially since this was their 50th Anniversary.
Song: Anniversary by Voltaire
Awww! Sweet, sweet adorableness! I loved writing this.
Okay, I am really sorry. And a liar. I said two days ago I would have the next chapter of SoB finished by yesterday night at the latest, and, well, I lied. That chapter is taking longer than I thought. It is so hard to write. dlksfjghfjdksa. Bleh. Please Review!
