My sources have told me that the Fire Nation is coming for the Northern Water Tribe. I have dreaded this day, but we are prepared for whatever gets thrown our way. For as long as I can remember the Fire Nation has tried countless of times to take over the Northern water tribe. They've broken our sister tribe and killed all the water benders from the Southern Tribe before I was even born. It broke my heart when my mom told me about what happened.
For centuries the moon warriors have never shown themselves in the public eye. But when the Fire Nation strikes it'll be up close and personal.
I've also been told that the Avatar along with Sokka and Katara are here in the north, looking for a water bending master.
I left my room and made my way down the front palace steps to the training room. My first command informed me that Admiral Zhao was heading north with a large force. As a result, my warriors had to be prepared.
I entered the room and stood next to my mother, watching my sister and the warriors practice. My new warriors have performed admirably, and they have excellent water-bending form. I only hope they're ready.
This is also the first time my sister will fight in battle. I'm nervous for her, but I have faith in Imiq that she'll be fine.
"How are you feeling, my love?" My mother asked, taking her gaze away from the warriors, a small smile on her face. I sighed and crossed my arms, saying, "I'm confident we'll be fine. We're strong, and they're prepared. I just can't help but feel..." She cupped my cheeks and kissed my forehead as I paused.
"You're afraid. It's also okay to be scared. A great leader is always concerned about their people. But you turn your fears into strength; you've done well, you've trained well, and your father would be proud of you. Mighty Moon Warrior, his little warrior." She had a teary expression on her face.
My eyes watered and I leaned over kissing her cheek, and smiled looking back at my warriors, holding my head high.
The Fire Nation is going to regret coming to my door step.

"I’m not one to complain, but can't Appa fly any higher?" Sokka said, groaning. Aang turned around to look at sokka with an angry expression on his face.
"I have an idea, why don't we all get on your back and you can fly us to the North Pole?" Aang yelled. Sokka scoffed and turned his back to Aang. "I'd love to! Climb on everyone" he wiggles his butt at everyone, "Sokka's ready for takeoff!"
Momo jump up on Sokka in response to his invitation.
"Look, we're all just a little tired and cranky because we've been flying for two days straight." Katara said, trying to calm them down. "And for what? We can't even find the Northern Water Tribe. There's nothing up here." He said, throwing his hands in the arm up, plopping back down .
Suddenly a noise is heard up ahead. Ice is moving rapidly towards Appa. Aang who screams and pulls Appa’s reigns to starboard. Appa banks right and avoids the ice, but almost tips everyone off the saddle, who hangs on for dear life. Appa then banks left as another jet of ice erupts out of the waves, but this one slams into Appa’s underside, who drops in an uncontrolled spin into the water. Out of the icebergs several ornate wooden skiffs come to surround Appa. They are manned by people in water tribe garb.
"They're waterbenders! We found the Water Tribe!" Katara said, smiling. "There it is!" Aang yelled, excitedly.
They came closer to an ice wall with towers and turrets.
"The Northern Water Tribe..." Katara said, slowly with an astonished look on her face. "We're finally here..." sokka said, looking relieved. One of the water tribe skiffs, where the waterbender crew waterbends in unison. The city wall, where the waterbenders have removed a semi-circular opening to reveal a tunnel that leads into the city. One of the waterbenders on the skiff in the foreground.
He motions them forward and Appa swims in. Inside the tunnel as Appa swims in, they looked to the lock where the tunnel opens into. Switch to an overhead view showing that the lock is square and that the waterbenders line the tops of the lock's four walls.
The three sides of the lock not adjacent to the main wall have water behind them almost to the height of the city wall. The waterbenders open sluice gates along the three walls of the lock to raise the water level. The wall opposite from the main city wall begins to lower itself, ultimately to free a path for Appa to continue.
"I can't believe how many waterbenders live up here!" Katara said, shaking Aang excitedly. "We'll find a master to teach us, no problem" Aang said, with a confident look on his face.
The lock wall dropping beneath the water line, with a few boats waiting in the channel beyond as Appa swims out. Aang, Sokka, & Katara sat on Appa, smiling and looking around them in wonder at the overhead panorama look of the city.
It is made of ice and is breathtakingly beautiful. It also has three interior walls in addition to the main city walls. All the way in the back is apparently some sort of citadel or temple. The roof of one of the buildings in the city, an older man and a young boy watch as Appa follows a Water Tribe skiff through the canals. Soon more people join them.
In fact, as they go, small crowds of people begin to gawk at them from houses and foot bridges. Aang waves at them as they pass. The city is loaded with beautiful streams, waterfalls and fountains.
"This place is beautiful." Katara said, smiling at the people. And marveling at the waterbenders.

Chief Arnook standing to address the crowd. "Tonight, we celebrate the arrival of our brother and sister from the Southern Tribe, and they have brought with them someone very special, someone whom many of us believed disappeared from the world until now." He paused, looking into the crowd, that was waiting for him to continue. "THE AVATAR!"
The crowd cheers. "We also celebrate my daughter's 16th birthday!" He backs up to reveal the beautiful girl with the white hair, flanked by two attendants, walking up to the table. They all bow, smiling. "Princess Yue is now of marrying age." He said, proudly walking away so she could speak.
"Thank you, father. May the great Ocean and Moon Spirits watch over us during these troubled times." She said, bowing at the people with a smile. "Now, Master Pakku and his students will perform!" Arnook said, clapping his hands together.
The Chief motions towards three men who now stand on the dais in front of the fountain opposite the dignitaries' table. The center man is clearly the eldest with a bald head, but long white hair on the sides of his head and down his back. The begin waterbending water from three enormous amphorae in front of them. The crowd begins to cheer. Aang and Katara who looked at each in utter delight while they clap.

My mother, sister, and I waited for Arnook and his wife to enter their room. They had just finished watching the water show and would be going to bed soon. But we had something important to talk about.
We wore our gear and mask covers to avoid being seen. We turned our attention to the door after hearing the handle rattle. Arnook and his wife walked in, said good night to their guards, and shut the door.
We emerged from hiding, causing his wife to scream, and Arnook protectively slid his wife behind him. "WHO ARE YOU?" He yelled at us. We approached them, but Arnook remained firm.
We removed our mask covers, and they gasped, and Arnook stumbled a little, clutching his wife. I could tell they were holding their breath when I looked at them.
My mother approached them, and they fell to their knees. My mother stood in front of Arnook, sternly looking at them. "On your feet, Chief!" He quickly stood up and stared at her, while his wife looked at me and my sister with teary eyes.
"They're coming, Arnook," my mother said as she walked closer to him.
