Chapter 1-Looking Deep Inside
Aang had made another airbending blow to his opponent. He was fighting someone wearing a black hooded cape, so that person's face was completely hidden. The hooded person was using waterbending in order to attack Aang, but he had moved the earth using his earthbending abilities to trap the hooded person's entire body except for the head. However, the hooded figure could also earthbend, and broke free. Aang was surprised how the figure was able to bend two elements. Aang froze up, because he was astonished by how this was possible.
"Who are you?" Aang shouted.
"I'm someone who is from the future." The hooded person replied. The hooded person was a girl, because her feminine voice gave it away.
Aang had then tried to airbend, in order to blow away his opponent, but the hooded figure was also able to airbend and blew him away by a 10 yard distance. This figure was able to bend all elements, just like Aang.
"No more fighting." Aang shouted angrily "Show your face!"
The hooded figure took off the hood of her cape to reveal the face of a teenage girl whom from her facial appearance would be from the Southern Water Tribe. Her eyes were blue; her hair was black with two ponytails in front and one in the back. As soon as Aang saw her face, he became curious to know her identity.
"What is your name?" Aang asked in a softer voice.
And then Aang woke up from that terrible dream, with sweat dripping from all over his body. He took a bunch of deep breaths before getting out of bed. However, he did not feel much better when his girlfriend Katara had served him breakfast. Aang was silent, not even paying attention to everyone else.
"What's wrong, Aang?" Katara asked "You never turn down a meal this early in the morning. Have you been having nightmares recently?"
"It's been the same dream over and over." Aang answered "Is that not normal?"
"I don't know, Aang." Katara replied.
"Whatever it was, it seemed like it was important." Aang described "Like I felt it was actually going to happen."
A lot had changed a year after the defeat of Phoenix King Ozai and Princess Azula. The four nations were becoming a unified society called "The United Republic of Nations". Thanks to Fire Lord Zuko, the era of imperialism ended and his legacy would carry on sharing the idea of world peace. Aang and his friends were in the treatment process of the construction of Republic City. It was a difficult project, as they were still figuring out how the city will look.
Elsewhere, Toph Beifong was teaching the skill of Metalbending to other earthbenders. After her class was finished for the day, she had walked home. But along the way, Sokka had come along to walk beside her.
"Hello, Sokka." Toph greeted.
"How did you know it was me?" Sokka asked cheerfully.
"I can sense your presence anywhere." Toph answered "So, what are you doing here?"
"I'm trying to find the perfect present for Suki." Sokka replied.
"I still don't know what she sees in you." Toph commented.
"Why do you feel the need to do that?" Sokka questioned.
"It's what I do for a living." Toph answered before she started laughing.
However, as Sokka and Toph continued walking down the road, Sokka saw an image of a ghostly figure right behind him. He turned around and saw that the figure was an image of Phoenix King Ozai. Sokka threw his boomerang, but Ozai appeared to be translucent, so the image of him just vanished like dust. The boomerang ended up to hit the Cabbage Merchant's cart causing all of his cabbage to fall down.
"My cabbages! Not again." The merchant shouted out in anger.
"Why did I just sense a cart falling down?" Toph questioned.
"You're going to think I'm crazy, but I think I just saw Fire Lord Ozai." Sokka replied.
"You're right, Sokka." Toph confirmed "But isn't he in prison."
"I know what I saw." Sokka answered "But it seemed like he was a ghost."
"You saw a ghost?" Toph said before bursting in laughter "Are you on cactus juice again?"
"That was more than a year ago, let that go." Sokka complained.
Aang was still bothered by recurring dreams, but it did not distract him from his romantic moments with Katara. The young couple had sat down on sand together as they had watched the sun go down. Katara had put her lips on one of Aang's airbending tattoos located on his right arm, and moved them from onto his hand up towards his shoulder. Katara had then turned her head to towards Aang's face as their faces were only a short length apart. As they looked towards the sunset, Aang and Katara had their arms around each other.
"Aang, can I ask you something which is completely random, but I feel like I need to say this to you?" Katara asked "When did you first fall in love with me?"
"It was the moment I saw you for the first time. After I was released from that giant iceberg after I was inside for 100 years, and opened my eyes to see yours." Aang replied "Now, when did you first fall in love with me?"
"Remember the time when we visited the fortune teller, Aunt Wu." Katara commented "And I was so obsessed with her predicting my future. I was so fascinated with the fact that the man I was going to be with forever would be a 'powerful bender'. Then when Sokka said that you were a powerful bender, I began thinking to myself that you were the one I would be with."
"And now we are together." Aang said.
"Aang, will you promise me that we will always be together?" Katara asked.
"I promise." Aang replied.
Katara had then placed her hand on Aang's chest, feeling his own skin pressed on hers as she moved closer toward him in comfort in order to ensure that promise.
"Aang, I want to head towards the water." Katara recommended.
Aang and Katara had stood up and walked towards the water. Soon, they began to enter their playful nature and used waterbending in order to splash each other. While in beach attire, Aang and Katara had played in the beach water, and soon they entirely surrounded by water they were bending together which was taking the form of a tube. Inside the water, Aang and Katara had kissed passionately. After they kissed, Katara began to exit the tube, and Aang was inside all by himself. Aang saw the water surrounding him moving around, and soon the image of the teenage girl that was in his dream had appeared before him.
"Please, tell me, who are you?" Aang begged.
Aang had then woken up in the water, with Katara helping him to stand up.
"What happened?" Aang asked in a clueless manner.
"You got tired out while we were in the water, and suddenly feel asleep so suddenly." Katara answered.
"It's that dream again." Aang replied "Actually, it's not a dream, it's more likeā¦a vision."
"What's your vision?" Katara questioned.
"I don't know, but I believe I need to visit the guru again." Aang suggested.
