The Other Iceberg Boy

Chapter 4: Northern Water Tribe

Just as I suspected, Fire Nation is on us. We were readying to take off when the ash cloud of the ship came into view. "Get inside. All of your people need to stay inside, and hold doors and windows closed," I ordered.

"Uh, sure. May I ask why?" He asked. "A Tsunami is about to wipe out the fire," I replied, and started running towards the ship in the distance. "What are you doing?!" Aang asked, Appa flying over me. "Get higher in the air, or else you may actually drown this time," I called.

Appa flew to the clouds, and the citizens of Kyoshi locked up their homes. Including the Warriors. Fire Nation Soldiers began flooding the city, but stopped 50 feet in front of me. "Hello again! I see you brought some pets this time!" I called.

The soldiers shifted uncomfortably, as their beasts snarled in anticipation. "Why are you here?!" Zuko called, readying a fireball. "What do you think, little prince?" I sarcastically replied. He growled. "Where is the Avatar?!" He snapped.

"He's a good enough distance away," I said. "Prince Zuko, he's stalling," a soldier said. "Still, capturing him would be beneficial for the Fire Lord," another replied. "ZUKO! TSUNAMI!" The Fat man that was with them before cried, pointing behind me.

A 100ft wave rose high behind me, aiming at the Island. "Heh, wondering when you'd notice," I exclaimed, now visibly straining. "Retreat. RETREAT!" Zuko called, and they began to run away.

"Serpent, distract them," I telepathically ordered. The Giant Sea Serpent rose out of the water with a roar, and began charging the boat, not destroying it though.

I raised my arms, and the wave began to crest. "Good Luck!" I called, and dropped my control of the wave. It began tumbling towards us, destroying little of the landscape. I controlled the sea to avoid the the houses, and backflipped. I rode the wave towards the Soldiers, wiping them out easily.

I rode over their ship, destroying it heavily, but it'd still sail. The water wrapped around my legs, and rose me up in a water tornado. Appa soared next to me, and I hopped on. Now, we can get to the North Pole. I wonder if Santa Clause exists.

Time Skip:

The North is impressive. Not to the naked eye from where we were, but I could feel every part of it. It was like Venice, made of snow and ice, and nearly everyone were Water Benders.

The gates opened via water bending, and many other things to control the city were manned by Water Benders. "This is impressive," Katara is exclaimed, her face full of fascination. "Indeed it is. The complexity of their civilization is astounding, and the way they incorporate their Bending into their everyday lives is remarkable," I stated.

We moved through the waterways, before coming upon the main palace. "Welcome, Avatar. I hope your journey wasn't to...displeasing," a slim man with dark skin, long black hair, and Water Tribe robes that somehow seemed more pristine, welcomed us.

"It was fine, sir. It could've gone better, but it was fine," Aang answered normally. Which, technically is informally, to which Katara elbowed him for it. "Forgive me allies, Chieftain. They have not been practiced in Formal Etiquette. I hope this informal attitude can be overlooked at the moment," I apologized, bowing deeply.

"Indeed it can. I will not hold any displeasure to the Avatar, nor to his allies. Though, I do hope it can be learned during your stay," the chieftain proposed. "Of course, sir. I shall teach them in such arts before our next encounter. Also, forgive my bluntness, but I am unaware of your name, sir. For future encounter's, it would much beneficial to know the name of our hosts," I said.

"Quite right. I am Chief Arnook. This is my daughter, Yue," he said, and gestured to a dark skinned, white haired teen girl, with huge assets. "It is a pleasure, Miss Yue," I said.

I could feel the stifled laughters from Sokka and Aang, and Katara was actually stifling it well. "The pleasure is mine, sir..." she started. "Perseus. But please, you may refer to me as Percy. Formalities are not my strong suit," I answered.

"Well, Percy. I welcome you and your comrades to our home. I hope your stay is enjoyable," Yue said. I nodded in thanks, and stood up. I looked over my shoulder to said comrades. They struggled to stand straight, and hold blank faces.

"You done?" I whispered. "Mr. Perseus, if you would follow. A performance by Master Pakku is going to be held for dinner tonight, and you must see it," Arnook said.

"Thank you, Chieftain Arnook. That is much appreciated," I said, and led my friends after the 2 royals.

We gathered at a oval table, that was hollowed in the center, where 3 men stood. Arnook waved his hand, and the show began as we ate. Katara and Aang watched in awe, and Sokka focused on Yue, who sat next to him, on concealed love.

"Quite the performance, Mr. Arnook. I'm quite impressed by the level of skill," I spoke in a hushed tone. "I'm sure Master Pakku would be pleased," Arnook replied. "Though, I'm more impressed with architectural work, and use of bending within your city," I replied.

"I thank you, Perseus. Most do not compliment the city, so much as the Masters," Arnook said. I nodded in acknowledgment, and resumed my meal and focus on the show.

After a few minutes, everyone left to their quarters, and I caught up with Pakku. "Master Pakku, could I have a word?" I asked. "Yes, what is it?" He snobbishly asked. "I was wondering if you could teach my comrades Aang and Katara, as they are in need of a master," I asked.

"I will teach Aang. Katara, however, cannot. Women learn Healing in our tribe, not combat," Pakku explained. "Well, you're going to teach her Combat Water Bending, whether you like it or not. She is not of your tribe, making her not forced to follow your traditions. If you don't accept her with Aang, then I challenge you for that right," I warned, and walked off.
