Steam: An Avatar Story

Prologue: Part One

"Prince Ozai, we have finally destroyed the last Air Bender. There is no one left." One of Ozai's advisors, General Khan, reported.

Ozai nodded, but he wanted to be sure before he brings this information to his father Azulon.

"How do you know you've destroyed the Avatar?" Ozai asked.

"2nd Lieutenant Zhao killed him personally." General Khan replied. "He tortured the poor boy until he gave in. We got the Avatar."

"Excellent. Be sure that 2nd Lieutenant Zhao is promoted to 1st Lieutenant." Ozai said, smirking to himself.

"Very well." General Khan bowed and left the room.

"Now we must find the next Avatar. The avatar will be born into the Water Tribes. We move on them next." Another counselor, General Ikaika, spoke up.

"We must not be so hasty." Ozai said. He looked at his advisors. "We can not kill every single Nation and expect to have anything to rule over. Fire should be feared, for we are the superior element, but the Earth Kingdoms and Water Tribes are still in open rebellion. We need the Avatar to conquer the world and show them that the Fire Nation is truly the most powerful element."

"What do you suggest we do, My Prince?"

"Watch. Listen. Wait." Ozai said dangerously. "When you find out the identity of the new Avatar, bring that child here. I will raise them as my own, instill a love of the Fire Nation in them, and then we will conquer."

"Yes Prince Ozai. Shall we deliver this news to Fire Lord Azulon?"

"That is not necessary. I will tell him." His advisors nodded and left him to go to his father's throne room.

3 years later, The Southern Water Tribe

"Kata-ra!" Sokka was searching for his sister. His dad said he needed to see her, and it was very important.

"Sokka what?" The 2 year old asked.

"Daddy wants to see you. There's some men with white and blue robes in our house."

"Okay." Katara followed her brother back to their hut.

"Good, they're here." An older man said. He was holding a cloth folded over with a bunch of toys in them. "Hakkoda, please bring your daughter over here."

"Katara dear, please come here." Hakkoda said gently, beckoning his daughter over. "Sit down."

"Dad, what's going on?" Sokka asked, going to sit in his mom's lap.

"They need to find out if your sister is the new Avatar." Hakkoda replied. Sokka had heard stories about the Avatar, but didn't really know what that meant.

"Katara, my dear, please choose 4 of these toys, they are a gift." The man who was holding the roll of toys opened it in front of her. Katara's eyes widened.

"So many toys!" She exclaimed happily.

"Choose 4 Katara." Kya said, smiling. Katara looked hard, and then started choosing.

After about 10 minutes, Katara was finished. The 3 men who came to test her shared a significant look. "The four relics." One of them said. The man who presented Katara with the toys nodded.

"It seems we have the new Avatar among us."

"That's incredible." Hakkoda sighed, glancing at Kya. 

"Thank you. We will be in contact." The three men bowed and left the tent.

"This changes everything." Kya said, later that night. "We have to protect her. She's the world's last hope."

"I know." Hakkoda sighed, glancing out a window. "I know."

The next morning, Katara was playing with a couple friends of hers towards the outside of the village.

"Katara! Let's build a snowman!" One of the girls, Mya, exclaimed. Katara nodded and they went to work.

One of the men from the village was walking by when he spotted them. Smiling, he walked over.

"Girls, that is a very beautiful snowman." He complimented.

"Thank you!" The girls chorused.

"We should show our families!" Elia said. Mya and Katara nodded, each running off to get their families.

"Katara, was it?" The man asked. Katara stopped and turned around, nodding. "Come with me, I want to show you something." Katara nodded and followed him. They walked out of the village as black snow started to fall. Katara was worried.

"Where we going?" Katara asked, confused. They were walking out of her home, her dad always told her to never go outside of the village alone. But she wasn't alone, one of the villagers were with her. But still, that black snow was scary, she needed to find her mom.

"I'm showing you a ship." He said. "It's a new one that your dad was working on. I think you'll like it a lot."

"I need to find my mom first, something is wrong!"

"We will find her right after this, I promise."

Katara never went home that day.

~~~

After months on the sea, Katara didn't have anymore tears left. She missed her mom, her dad, her brother, and her tribe. This ship was scary and cold, with grey stuff everywhere. There were also decorations of red and flames everywhere, and the people on the ship had scary outfits on.

The man was kind to her, but she still missed her family. He said they needed to go somewhere special, but she never knew why. It was getting hotter and hotter, nothing like the cool air of her home.

~~

A few days later, the man that walked her out of the village came to wake her up. "Katara, we're here." Katara opened her blue eyes and rubbed them. The man smiled and picked her up, carrying her off the ship.

Katara looked around at everything. The people here didn't look like her at all, and it was really loud and bright, and extremely hot. Katara's eyes watered, she was scared of the new sights and sounds, and wanted to go home.

"It's okay little one." The man patted her back. "It's okay."

~~

"Prince Ozai, she is here." One of his advisors mentioned. "Lieutenant Sang is with her. They've entered the palace."

"Excellent. Tell me about her."

"She's 2 years old, and a member of the Southern Water Tribe. Her father is the chief."

"Hakkoda? That man has been giving me so much trouble. I'm glad we have his daughter now."

"What do you want done with her?"

"Introduce her to Zuko and Azula. She is to be given a room in the Royal Wing. You will treat her as a princess of this nation, and as my own daughter."

"As you wish." Ozai smirked. His plan was in motion.

Hooray! Guys I'm so excited to start this new story. I was rewatching Avatar and was having some serious Zutara feels, but I wanted to flip it like a lot of people and make Katara the avatar. Definitely not a new plot line, but here's my take on it.

Hope you guys will enjoy! Vote and comment.
