Prologue
"We must do something! We can no longer stand idly by!"The young man paced back and forth with agitation spread across his face. The veins in his tan muscular arms pulsed out of his skin with every step he took only to resend back when the step was complete. His dark blue eyes pierced the young blonde woman sitting across from him as she addressed him.
The young woman focused her light blue eyes on the pacing man before her. "We can't! It is not our place to interfere with the world's affairs. It is the Avatar's duty to bring justice and peace back to the world."Her blonde hair cascaded down her back as she got up. Her long off the shoulder dress grazed the floor as she approached the young man. A light blue sash was tied around her waist which accented her small figure. A half pendant necklace adorned her neck.
"But the Avatar is a twelve-year-old boy who has been frozen for 83 years!" He relaxed when he felt her hand fall upon his right shoulder. "Our people are almost extinct! What are we suppose to do, wait for our people to face the same fate as the air nomads?"
"No we can't let are people die, but we must not interfere." Her voice echoed with the beauty and regality of her appearance.
"If the Avatar does not awake by tomorrow I will do something!" he shrugged off her hand as his brown hair fell in front of his face. His hair stopped at the top of his shoulders. His outfit resembled a kimono-like tunic, with split sides for leg movement and fur-trimmed leggings underneath. He wore the other half of the pendant his counterpart adorned.
"I'll make you a deal La, if the Avatar does not awaken in three months we will do something. I have a plan."
La turned to face his counterpart shocked by her submission to the subject. She was known throughout the spirit world as the most compassionate of the spirits but also for her stubbornness.
"Tui, are you joking?" His eyes showed nothing but confusion and bewilderment as he stared at his beloved. He studied her to see if she was truly joking but saw no amusement or deception in her eyes, but instead he saw seriousness, concern, and deep thought.
"Will speak of it when or if the time comes. Now let us go. Are time in the spirit world is almost up. We must return to our natural forms on Earth." Tui walked over to La and grabbed his hand as she led him to the gate where they would do their never-ending dance.
Three Months Later
"Tui it has been three months, your time is up. The Avatar is still frozen and our people are still suffering. Are numbers are dwindling every day! Now tell me, what is this plan that you have withheld from me for these past three months?" La paced while his agitation grew by the second. His anger had grown ever since he witnessed the extinction of the air nomads and with the threat of extinction becoming a possibility he had become enraged and paranoid about everything.
Tui turned to look at her partner with concern as she said "We shall have a child."
