I was off near one of the biggest bodies of water I have seen, penguin sledding and having the time of my life, but then I heard horrified shrieks. The penguins around me began flapping their arms in shear panic, I ran towards my bow staff and slid down multiple hills to get to the water tribe, I saw nothing but fire everywhere and villagers running away from Fire Nation soldiers. I searched and searched among everyone below me for Sokka and Katara, I saw their boat and ran towards it, not wanting to alert the Fire Nation soldiers that I'm the avatar. "Where's the avatar! Where's Sokka and Katara!!" Multiple villagers scream for us, and by the time I found Katara she's knocked out cold on the ground, Sokka is knocked out too, but he's being dragged away. I want to run after him, but I hurriedly lift Katara off the ground as much as I could and dragged her to the Elder's tent.

I smirked as I saw my men huddled up in groups, one surrounding the avatar, and the others had plenty of other young kids I could train. Once they got on the boat the group holding the avatar came towards me while the others went to the dungeon. My favorite soldiers who I had told to capture the avatar threw a different boy to me. "What the hell is this, I asked for the avatar!" My men looked at me in confusion and looked at each other, "but we saw this boy water bending! There are no more water benders, so we thought he was the avatar!" I growled in frustration and bent down to look at the boy, his skin was a lot darker than mine, his hair was shaved all from the temple down. What little hair he had was pulled into a ponytail, he held a boomerang with a sharp tail end that had two holes at the wider rectangular end tightly in one hand and the other held a club that looked like a giant curved blade was thrown into a giant blue bead and was glued together that way.

While I saw nothing but black I could hear someone shouting, "you fucked up big this time! If you weren't my best men you'd all be dead!" Stomping and shouting, shuffling and steel creaking, the sound of fire crackling got farther and father away, while the yelling got louder. "Listen, we're sorry Fire Lord, but look at it this way. He isn't able to fight back if he really isn't the avatar. You could teach him to firebend if he is! Then we could have a killing machine on our side!" I opened my eyes slowly and saw nothing but steel and boots. I sat up slowly and felt the back of my head, it felt wet and warm, I looked at my hand that had just been on my head and saw blood. I began freaking out, I was now hyperventilating, my vision began to blur from looking all around me, I wanted to scream but I didn't. A pair of legs rested infront of me, I looked up and saw who they were connected to, a tall white skinned guy with a giant pink and red scar on his left eye, he looked down at me with cold eyes. "Whats your name, and are you a bender?" He sort of shouted at me and I shook my head I'm terrified "n-no, my name is Sokka..and I can't water bend...my sister is the last waterbender!" His good eye opened in shock, then closed in anger as he growled. "How old are you?" The man kneeled down infront of me and glares at me, "15, what do you want with me?" I looked around a bit more and saw my tribe far behind me, fire being put out by everyone, I felt tears welling up in my eyes, they fell as they pleased and I gave up all hope.

Sokka, as he told me his name is, looked back at his tribe, he cried and I just looked down at him even more that he was showing weakness to his enemies. "Listen, stand up and give me your weapons." He stood up alright, but he threw his boomerang at me, I caught it, but that caused my hand to bleed and a sharp pain to travel through my arm, but I didn't so much as flinch cause I can't show weakness to my enemies, I have to be better than them. "Now, shall we go to the dungeon where you'll be staying til we get back to the Fire Nation?" I handed his boomerang to a soldier next to me, they then ripped Sokka's club from him and ran to my room, after a couple minutes he came back "they are under your bed sir." He whispered as I smirked a bit more and nodded, "now, follow me 'Sokka'" he just looked down at the deck and slowly stood up.
