-Avatar: The legend of Hetang 

---current place: Si Wong Desert---

---current year: 1989.---

While it's almost so hard to breathe in the warm Si Wong Desert, and while spirits sing their good morning song, Shong and his tribe went on another desert expedition. Shong's wife, Naila stayed at home doing every job around the house and their child, Hetang. Hetang was a 9-year-old book lover. The only library on Si Wong Desert, other than buried ones, was visited by Hetang every time he would finish a book, which was mainly 2 times a day... In order to survive, they were selling animals from their farm near the house, or sometimes Hetang would clean people's shoes walking by for some cash...

 As the night was falling, Hetang was reading a book about flying bison, when someone entered the house. It was Shong coming from another failed expedition.

,, What is that smell? ''Shong said angrily... Naila wasn't answering... Shong made eye contact with Hetang and slammed his door leaving him alone with his wife. With the door closed, Hetang could still hear the shouting and anger from his father, and he could feel the pain from his mother.

Around fifteen minutes later, Shong left the house and head to the bar. He was going there every day, but today the hole Si Wong citizens are going so they can choose a new leader for every tribe. That was a tradition every year in Si Wong Desert and Shong was furious to lose his leadership.

!!!!! TRIGGER WARNING !!!!!

Hetang and his mom could hear the music and joy from their house... Hetang was trying to read but his mom was crying in the bathroom...he tried to sleep so he could clear his mind, but a few minutes later when he felt the silence, he thought he was asleep, soon realizing that his mother stopped crying. He came out of the room seeing a half-opened bathroom door...

,, Mom ''? Hetang opened the door when suddenly he saw his mother laying on the ground with a covered blood knife in her hands...

,, MOM ''? Bursting through tears Hetang grabbed mom's arms trying to call for help...but no one was around... 

!!!!! U CAN SKIP TO THIS PART- END OF TIGGER WARNING !!!!!

Earth started to shake... animals started to scream... Hetang's eyes started glowing. With sand and air bending, he destroyed not only his house but several different houses in the city and making a sandstorm like one that Si Wong people didn't see yet. His eyes stopped glowing...while falling to the ground Hetang realizes his identity as the avatar...

When Si Wong people saw the damage they thought it was a sandstorm like every other, not realizing that avatar created it...Hetang was more silent than he already was...he was confused and lost in his mind, not knowing what to do...Shong lost his leadership and his wife, but this time he was silent for a long time too...

As years passed, Hetang was hiding his destiny from everyone, even himself... He would often help his father with the farm or just read books avoiding his true identity as the avatar.

---current year: 1998.---

Hetang turned 18 years old as a book lover and a master sand bender. His avatar identity was still unknown. He would often talk to animals on the farm...closest to him was a fox-antelope named after the death of his mother, Naila. 

Shong was always drunk, he started selling animals from the farm almost every day to the point where he wanted to sell Naila, Hetang stood up to him.

,, What are you doing ''? Hetang asked angrily but he was scared of his father's response...

,, What do you think I am doing? Getting more money obviously''. Shong responded half-drunken

,, Naila is my only friend, you can't sell her to some garbage zoo in Ba Sing Se! She stays here!... Are you even listening to me?''

,, Oh ye go cook something for dinner until I get back I am delivering this shit for more money''.

,, NO, stop right now-'' as Hetang tried to stop his father, the fire got from his mouth burning Shong's arm! 

,, YOU STUPID CHILD WHAT DID YOU DO'' !? Shong was screaming in pain while Hetang tried to calm Naila down.

,, Stop crying already there is no fire anymore! '' Hetang said to his father. 

,, You- YOU ARE THE AVATAR, MY SON IS THE AVATAR'' 

,, It's not how it looks I-'' while Hetang tried to explain, Shong was running to the village to share the news. Hetang never saw him this happy, but it didn't take long for him to realize that it was for the glory, for his leadership of the tribe...

Order of the White Lotus showed up the next morning after receiving Shong's call.

,, This is him oh mighty order, the avatar! He is MY son, MY SON!'' Shong said excitedly...

,, Avatar Hetang it's an honor '', White Lotus head member said, we have a long way to go but everything is prepared and ready for you, teachers we got for you are so excited to start with your training!''

,, Is that a flying bison''? said Hetang while amazed by the look of the creature.

,, Yes sir, I think it's time we head to our first destination, shall we?'' Order member said.

Hetang got on a sky bison leading Naila to climb on the bison's tail. As they were flying Hetang was amazed by the view from the bison, but was also calming Naila from her first flying experience...

,, This is still just sand, you just wait until you see great walls of Ba Sing Se from this hight''! Order member said.

,, We are going to Ba Sing Se? '' Hetang asked.

,, Yes sir! You are finishing your earth bending training with master Pur over there! ''

---current place: Ba Sing Se airport---

,, Wanna get something to eat?'' ,, Nah I am full, do you know how much Ba Sing Se special rice did I have-'' two order members were talking.

,, What do you two think you are doing, get the avatar, and let's head to master Pur's place pronto!'' the third Order member said.

,, Um, but sir, I thought the avatar is with you? ''

,, What are you talking about I told you to watch the avatar while I feed the bison! 

While the Order of the White Lotus began to look for the avatar, Hetang was on Naila's back running around the city and looking at the surroundings like the ones that he could only imagine while reading his books...
