Zutara: The Next Avatar

Chapter 3, Discovery

Katara POV still,

I was going through my day at our palace for the chief, my father, Hakoda, when people in blue robes with white tops came, they claimed to be the white lotus, and they had some things to talk about with me, so I brought their leader with me to the library study. It has bookshelves made of purple ice going up to the ceiling, with hanging firefly lanterns coming down, glowing with a blue-green glow, and lamps that illuminate pink, and the night sky painted on the ceiling. It is my favorite place in the entire palace. My father knew how much I loved the southern lights, so he made the library look like the southern night sky. The leader of the "white lotus" sat down on a chair by a fireplace, and apparently, he is a firebender because he made the flames dance, and swirl by moving his finger, and he tells me to sit, so I do, then he tells me,

"My name is Iroh of the White Lotus, I am here to inform you about the new avatar. Today marks the six-month mark between your fourteenth and fifteenth birthday, correct?"

"Yes, it does, but what does that have to do with anything?" I reply,

"It means we were on time. Have you ever felt like you could firebend? or knocked someone back without touching them?"

"Yes once, I have"

"Well you can firebend, earthbend, waterbend, and airbend. Because you are the avatar, Avatar Katara."

"Well, that explains why my eyes glow when I sleepwalk."

I walk out to my room on the third floor and try to firebend out the window. I know I can do subcategories of bending, I have bloodbended before, but I am reluctant to do it again. I wonder if I could lightning bend if I tried hard enough, maybe even do lavabending. Eventually, I made a flame. it was small, about the size of a candle flame, but it was abnormal. Instead of being a scarlet orange, it was a reddish pink, like the pink auroras. It illuminated my room for a second before it went out, and it was magical. It lit up my purple night sky room with a glow out of a fantasy book, and it made the stars glow so beautifully, that is what I want my life to look like. My flame went out pretty quickly though. Tonight I will write a letter to Avatar Aang's granddaughter, Raven. 

                       Dear Raven,

This is the new avatar, Avatar Katara, I would like to ask you to be my airbending teacher, I can come to the Southern Air Temple where you reside if you wish, or I can meet up with you in the Southwest Earth Kingdom Forests.

                   Many thanks,

Avatar Katara
