~Chapter 1: Prologue~

"Is it your own destiny? Or is it a destiny someone else has tried to force on you?"

-Uncle Iroh

Katara was practicing her waterbending when her Gran-Gran interrupted her session. Swirling the water around her arms, she gracefully placed the water back on the ground, where it quickly turned back into snow.

"Yes?" She asked, pulling her coat closer. Even though it was the middle of summer, it can still get pretty cold here in the Southern Water Tribe.

During the spring, back in Ba Sing Se, Katara couldn't bring Aang back into the world of the living, and he died that night from Azula's lightning. Katara never forgave herself, and in fact grew more and more hatred for the Fire Nation. She wanted it to burn to the ground, to taste their own medicine.

Ever since they returned to the tribe, she forced herself to train everyday, and almost every night. She barely got sleep in the few months that had passed. Her father returned to the tribe as well, traveling with Katara, Toph and Sokka. He does worry about his daughter, a lot, but there's nothing anyone can do about it.

"Come child, your father wishes to speak with you in the war igloo." Kana waved her granddaughter forward, knowing this next discussion isn't going to end well.

Walking towards the war igloo, Katara noticed Toph stomping out of the huge structure, clenching her fists tightly. Toph was always angry-mostly by the fact that due to living in the South Pole, there's no earth to bend or help her see-but today she seemed more upset than usual.

That's when she heard shouting; especially from her father. Running at full speed and pulling the water from her water pouch, Katara burst into the igloo and pinned the nearest person to the wall in ice daggers.

That person just happened to be Azula.

Review please!
