Chapter 1: Soka's Prophecy

"Aang! Aang! Look at this!" yelled a boy with black hair pulled to a ponytail at the back. He was waving a scroll while running towards a boy that looked to be around the age of 12 or 13.

The boy had a light blue arrow on his head and was wearing a yellow jumpsuit looking clothes with a red cloth thrown over his shoulders. The boy looked up, hearing his name being called by his friend. "Soka, what is it?" Aang asked Soka as he reached for the scroll. "Ah ah ah. I will show it to you only when Katara and everyone else gets here!" Soka answered, easily pulling the scroll out of Aang's reach.

Ten minutes later Toph, Katara, Appa, Momo, Zuko, and Iroh were all standing, or sitting, near Soka while he looked too excited to be healthy. "Ok so why are you so excited?" asked Zuko. Soka was practically bouncing in his seat while he waved the scroll from earlier around. "It's a scroll, Soka." Katara said while Momo and Appa agreed with a bob of their heads.

"No it's not just any scroll it's a prophecy." Soka said darkly like he was trying to tell a scary story. "And a Fire Nation prophecy at that." He continued while staring Aang in the face while Aang fidgeted nervously under Soka's intense gaze. "Why do they need to hear a fire nation prophecy? I have heard all of them." Said Zuko with confidence.

"Even the one about someone who is going to help us and the avatar?" Soka asked getting a smug smile on his face when Zuko didn't reply. By now Soka had everyone's attention. "This scroll is a prophecy of a child who was said to help the avatar in his or her time of need. Though people stopped believing this prophecy after a while, they believed in it when a child appeared with Avatar Roku." Soka began "When Avatar Roku was in his greatest time of need, he appeared with a child standing beside him. The child Fire Bended like a professional. But after he died, the child disappeared. Every Nation searched all their lands for the child that was believed to be Avatar Roku's child but the child had disappeared without a trace. After that people learned that the scroll of which this prophecy was written on was not a fake or a hoax. It was real and that child was not any child of Avatar Roku's but a child of the gods and the prophecy." Finished Soka as he read the scroll aloud.

Everyone was speechless even Iroh, who everyone says has been around since the beginning of time, had never heard of the prophecy. "So there is one other person I need before I can be ready to defeat Ozai?" asked Aang in a low voice. Soka nodded while everyone else was still trying to process this information. "Well I guess we will have to find this child." Started Toph "Except we have one problem though. The child was last seen over 100 years ago. So we have no way of knowing where to start or if the child is even alive."

"Aang could try talkin' to Avatar Roku through his connection." Suggested Iroh while he sipped on his tea. "True but I need to find somewhere holy. That is the only way I can communicate with Avatar Roku." Replied Aang.

"Ok then once I finish my tea we can go." Stated Iroh simply. Everyone else groaned especially Zuko who knew from the most experience that his uncle was going to take forever. But they were surprised when just as they got comfortable where they were, Iroh stood up and said "Well are you just going to sit there? We have to get to the temple." While he fire bended onto Appa.

Everyone groaned while getting up, well everyone except the almighty Zuko. They all got onto Appa. Everyone except Aang was on the saddle on Appa's back. Aang was on Appa's head. Everyone was talking nicely on Appa's back while they flew towards the temple. "Should we stop for the night or keep going? If we keep going we could make it there by morning." Aang yelled from the front.

Everyone looked at each other wondering what the best option was but surprisingly Zuko answered. "We should keep going in the middle of the night me and Aang could switch so that the Avatar won't get too tired for what will happen tomorrow." Everyone nodded their heads while Zuko got into a comfortable position so that he could sleep till it was time to switch.

12:00 AM

Zuko grunted as he was shaken awake by Aang. "It's time to switch." Aang said lowly so as to not wake the others. Zuko got up and moved to Appa's head. When Zuko had settled down on Appa's head he asked Appa, "I trust you know where you are going because I sure as hell don't" Zuko had to balance himself as Appa's head bounced up and down answering his question.

Zuko glanced at the moon, 'It is full tonight.' He mused inside his head. He was about to look back down till he saw a black figure fly across the moon. It looked female but it could be male considering how far they were from the figure. Soon the figure blended in with the night but just before that happened he caught the color of the figure's hair and it was one he would definitely remember if he saw it again. The figure's hair color was a brilliant silver color with slight streaks of pink, black, and orangeish-red.

Chapter 2: The Prophesied Child

Zuko woke up and looked around. 'We are at the temple. I must have fallen asleep on the way here. Was what I saw nothing more than a dream?' he wondered while realizing that everyone else was still asleep. Well everyone except Aang who he saw no where in camp or around it. Zuko got up and started looking around. 'It would not be good to lose the avatar.' He thought while looking the best he could.

With Aang

"I wonder how I found this place." Aang thought aloud "This wasn't here the last time I was here." He started to look around the room. It was a very elegantly made room. The walls were white and black. The white started at the top and slowly turned to black by the time it reached the floor. On the ceiling was a painted picture of a dog. The dog's fur was a raven color and it's eyes were a golden color with a tint of silver. Beside the dog was a girl. The girl had her hair tied up in a ponytail and it was silver with streaks of pink, black, and an orangish-red. She was wearing a water bender's clothing. The outfit looked to be very old. The pants were hakumas, something that hadn't been used in thousands of years, and the shirt was a matching blue color that didn't look like anything that Aang had ever seen. The pants hang loose till the ankles where it grouped together causing the rest of the pants to be pushed outward and create a balloon. She wore armor over her clothes. The armor was black and covered her breast and shoulders. On her hip was a sword and on her shoulder was what looked to be a humanoid fox. Beside her holding her hand was a female child. The child also had silver hair with streaks of pink, black, and orangish-red so Aang assumed it was her child. The bad was a black four poster bed that had purple curtains hanging from them. The wardrobe as made from pine wood and had carvings that depicted a wolf on one door and a dog on the other, both howling to the moon depicted at the top of both doors.

There was also a table with chairs. They were also made from pine wood. The table had a wash basin which Aang would not have payed any attention to if it had been empty but it had water in it that was still warm. "Why is this water still warm?" Aang asked himself. "Because I had to clean up." Said a voice that startled Aang. He hurriedly turned around to see a girl around his age leaning against the wall beside the door. She was wearing the same garments that woman in the picture from the ceiling was wearing. "Who are you?" Aang asked cautiously. "I should ask you the same thing." The girl said while looking up to the ceiling. "Not many air benders are still alive so it is a relief that you're are not dead but I was under the impression that the only air bender, besides me, left was the Avatar." She said calmly. "You are an air bender?" Aang asked excitedly. "Yeah barely, I can't do much air bending but I try my best Why?" she asked Aang. Their conversation was interrupted by Zuko's voice calling out for Aang. "I am in here!" Aang yelled back. Soon Zuko appeared from behind the door. He didn't notice the girl that was leaning against the frame of the door until she said "Hello Prince Zuko." He looked to the voice and saw the girl but that was not what caught his attention, it was her hair. "You... I saw you last night in the sky. Can you fly?" Zuko asked dumbfounded.
