Avatar The Last Airbender: The Sins of the Past [Katara x OC]

Chapter 1-5: The King of Omashu

After visiting Kyoshi Island, Aang and I decided to return to Omashu. It's where our mutual best friend Bumi used to live a hundred years ago.

As we landed at the end of the path, Aang said, "The Earth Kingdom city of Omashu."

I add, "We used to always come here to visit our friend Bumi. Aang and I also met here in Omashu."

Katara awes, "Wow. We don't have buildings like this in the South Pole!"

Sokka adds, "They have buildings here that don't melt!"

Aang says, "We'll let's go, slow pokes. The real fun's inside the city!"

Aang leaps off the hill with his airbending, landing a few meters away in the snow.

Katara grabs his arm to stop him from going further, saying, "Wait, Aang! It could be dangerous if people find out you're the Avatar."

Sokka muses, "You need a disguise."

Aang sarcastically asks, "So what am I supposed to do? Grow a mustache?"

I say, "Actually, that could work."

I gather some of Appa's loose fur, and Sokka ties the bundles into a wig and mustache for Aang.

He scratches under his wig, saying, "Ugh. This is so itchy. How do you live in this stuff?"

Appa slowly turns his head toward Aang, snorting at him.

Sokka says, "Great! Now you look just like my grandfather."

Katara says, "Technically, Ryuza is 116 years old, and Aang is 112."

I ask, "What about me? Won't I need a disguise?"

Katara says, "You should be fine as long as you don't bend."

I nod, and Aang nimbly kicks up his staff and spins it before placing it upright on the ground to be used as a walking stick.

He hunches his back and leans heavily on his staff like an old person, saying in his best grandfather voice, "Now let's get to skippin', young whipper-snappers. The big city awaits!"

Sokka and Katara look questioningly at each other as Aang shuffles off.

I shrug, saying, "Let's get going, guys. I can't wait to see Omashu again after all these years."

It takes a while to walk down the long path to Omashu.

Aang says, "You guys are going to love Omashu. The people here are the friendliest in the world."

A guard at the city gate yells at a cabbage merchant in front of us, "Rotten cabbages?! What kind of slum do you think this is?!"

The guard squishes the cabbage he's holding before earthbending a rock under the cart, catapulting it off into the chasm next to the path.

The cabbage merchant dramatically exclaims, "No! My cabbages!"

I say, "I guess they're not quite so friendly anymore."

Aang nervously smiles, saying, "Just keep smiling!"

As we approach the guard with nervous smiles, a guard steps forward, levitating a boulder over Aang's head.

He aggressively says, "State your business!"

Aang quickly runs from underneath the boulder, halting right in front of the guard. Aang pokes at the guard's chest, who drops the boulder in surprise.

Aang says in his old man voice, "My business is my business young man, and none of yours! I've got half a mind to bend you over my knee and paddle your backside!"
