The Last Legacy

Chapter 1 : Letters unfold

One spark starts a fire , and here it is the spark ....

In the left part of the world , on a rainy yet clear evening , one  light bulb was on , while the rest were off . There in a hidden corner in an empty probably abandoned orphanage , stood a tall figure ordering a teenager to take care of a rather eight year old child . " You have to take her away , go  and hide in the basement , no one will find you there I promise . " The tall figure who turned out to be just the owner of the place whispered into the ear of the scared young man who was carrying a sleepy little girl . Her words seemed to frighten the boy more and more ,that it was hard for him to get the words out of his mouth . "But what  about you mamma Luce ? They are gonna kill you . " His words brought tears to her eyes , and the least she could do to calm him and her down was hugging him probably saying goodbye . " Just go , don't worry about me , wait Harry take this , when you and Ginney are safe , read it carefully and you will finally understand why your parents had to leave you . "She said as she gave him  an enfolded parchment . Once Harry's cold icy shaking hands touched the parchment , he ran  fast , but careful so as not to wake the poor girl up , after all no one deserves to  see such misery .

" Now that the kids are safe , let's end this ! " . Lucie bravely states to herself as she stood in front of the door waiting for the worst to happen . And it did , because as the poor woman faced what she had feared , a hulk man entered barging in like he owned the place , but with a pistol in his hand and a satisfying smile on his face . His aim was clear , right in front of Lucie's face , he wanted to kill her for sure , but something was holding him back from pulling the trigger .

" If you tell me where the guardian is , I'll spare your life , poor Lena , she didn't have a chance to see her son " . He stated simply as if killing a soul was nothing to him  . " Yo... you killed her ??" . Shock was written all over her face , probably from the loss of a beloved one . " Yeah along with her husband and the rest of the group , now where is the boy ?" He said ready to pull the trigger any time . " Gone ! , Now get it over with , kill me !!" She was steady for someone who would sacrifice himself for the sake of others . " I 'll tell you what , I have a better idea , Sam ! Rocky ! " An evil smile never dared to leave his face and it grew wider as his 2 men entered . " Tie her up . our boss will be very happy with her and will make her talk " . He said emphasizing on the word boss . The three men took her away and Lucie bravely went with them saying goodbye to the light .

Deep down deeper into the orphanage , in it's dark basement , well not very dark  , the only source of light was the candle light and held by little Harry who was sitting on the dirty floor waiting for the scary voices of the men to just stop . His heart skipped a beat as he heard a door being shut roughly . His ears were on guard ready  to capture any sound to check if there was someone upstairs or not , but it caught nothing . He sighed , took one look at Ginney then started to unfold the parchment slowly , thinking , debating whether he is ready to find out the truth ........ or not . For this is moment he had been waiting for his entire life . 

"Dear Lucie ,

you have been my best friend for as long as I can remember , and now  I must leave you with my baby boy , Harry , please take good care of him , you know I have to fulfill my duty as the guardian of this generation , I've found them all , all the benders , but my baby can't stay with me , it is too dangerous  for him , please when he turns 13 , tell him all the secrets because he is the last guardian . He has to know everything because it is his duty .Let him know that his parents are heroes with forced responsibilities  that can't have let them take care of him and kiss him for me . Tell him I love him and I wish more than anything  to raise him , but I can't ...

                                                                                                                                                                   Love Lena , " 

The ink  didn't disappear  from the letter  as Harry's tears fell on it  , because it was too old , it only allowed him to see the second letter on the back . With shaking hands , he turned the parchment on it's back to reveal a new letter . Here we go again !!!!!!

" Dear Harry , 

By the time you read this , I will have been dead . " 

More and more tears fell from Harry's sparkling blue eyes , he couldn't picture how these horrible men killed his mamma Luce , but finally composed himself , after all , the ink was still fresh and some of the words he had already read were starting to vanish .

" Read this letter carefully and try to understand each and every word I am telling . First happy birthday , you have reached 13 years old , which means that you are the last guardian . You know the stories I used to tell you about the amazing golden bender , Zera . Let's continue them : after she defeated the pirates , more oppositions continued to face her  and led her to write some legacies to distribute Rava's powers among 16 only left benders , every generation , but unfortunately this is the last generation , which means you and the 16 benders that you are to search for and find have to destroy the world's enemies.  At the end of the letter you will find a map to a place where you will find the first legacy in a parchment and inside it another map to the second legacy and so  on and once you collect all 16  you will have to search for these people by using the sensor that you will find with the first legacy and with the last one , you will find another map to a secretive place where all the previous benders used to train and live . The key is to be secretive . You are the last branch of a family tree full of guardians . The whole world rests on your shoulders , I know you won't blow it and good luck .

                                                                                                                                         Love Lucelle , " 

The crying and the tears stopped , they all changed to rage and anger . Harry angrily threw the letter cursing nobody in particular , his shouting didn't stop except when he noticed the eyes of the little girl started to open . He had stopped breathing  , but luckily sighed when he found out the girl was just yawning  , then it all started again . 

" What the hell , Lucie ?? The whole world rests on my shoulders , I have to search for 16 legacies then 16 benders and you leave me with Ginney , I hate her ! How am I supposed to find her a family while you couldn't , she is a moving catastrophe ! " His face was a tomato , the fact that he had  responsibility bothered him , let alone two . Managing to compose himself   , Harry took a deep breath . 

" Now , what am I supposed to do with you , moving catastrophe ? " The fact that he was waiting for an answer from a sleeping girl was crazy , but what was even more crazier the disappointment look he had on his face when she didn't answer him . " Sorry moving catastrophe  , I have to leave you , hope I can take you with me , but leaving you here is safer . I need to give you your best chance , and it isn't with me ." 

Harry had  made up his mind so far and nothing could change it . Although he took on only one responsibility , he had a determination yet a sorry look on his face . At last , he picked up the map Lucie gave him and left heading towards the future , although , at the back of his mind , he had a feeling , he would meet Ginney again ........................ soon .
