the 40th and final installment of my series, which has finally come to a complete close. this is more of an epilogue rather than an actual chapter, but oh well.
HOW IT ALL TURNED OUT
The times that followed the downfall of Clazdian were “really dull compared to the old times” as Toph put it. However, though “dull” they may have been to some of us, we lived in peace, and everyone was happy.
Katara returned to the Northern Water Tribe. She is no longer depressed, but she of course still has (and will likely always have) a soft spot in her heart for Zuko. Her children, Sokka Hakoda and Katara Altina ended up growing up to be skilled benders and very fine adults.
Young Sokka Hakoda became a swordsmanship teacher, and he succeeded his mother Katara once she abdicated to live the rest of her life at ease. He was a very fine Water Tribe Chief, and had a fine wife and family. Young Katara Altina grew up to be a very attractive woman and a dangerously and seductively powerful firebending master. Being a firebender, she did not settle down in the water tribe, nor did she settle in the Fire Nation, for she looked a lot like a water tribe girl. She always seemed out of place, so she would wander around, making friends and never establishing a permanent residence anywhere. She was known worldwide for her skills and her good looks, and it is unknown to this day if she ever married, or if she ever settled down. Neither of these two is likely to have happened. Both children ended up going back with their mother, who taught them and raised them well, no longer being depressed. Nonetheless, they all still loved Zuki, and she visited Katara’s family quite often.
Zuki was still a vigorous Kyoshi warrior until she was in her late 110s. She may have been old, but she was still hale for much of her days. She became the notorious stereotypical “crazy old woman” but even to the day she died, everyone, (no one excepted) loved her and was her friend. Zuki’s personality never changed, and had been that way since she was born. She was still lacking in the intelligence department for the rest of her days, but her happy go-lucky attitude and her cheery, optimistic personality did indeed make her live a long life. Zuki ended up living to be 253 years old, surpassing the very same Kyoshi herself whom Zuki resembled both in attire and appearance.
Sokka continued to live in the Earth Kingdom as king, next to his wife Toph. He was still a master weapons trainer, and gave free lessons to anyone willing to accept the challenge of the blade; and, in some cases, the boomerang as well. He and Toph had several beautiful and strong children, and they lived the rest of their days (for like Katara, they abdicated somewhere down the road) in peace and serenity.
Toph continued to rule the Earth Kingdom as she always did, and no one ever found out about her glass eyes, not even Sokka. Sokka did, however, note that they seemed shinier, and Toph just laughed and elbowed him in the gut. They did on very rare occasions bleed though, and often times, tears would form out of nowhere, but Toph always seemed to have a plausible cover-up story for why they were there. She lived a good long life, and her days were happy, despite being “dull”.
Iroh continued to be a wandering Sage, and yet anywhere he could, he would make and sell tea. The day of his death was a day the world mourned, for a great and honorable man died that day. Like Zuki, everyone truly loved Iroh, for there was nothing about him no to love.
Ty Lee ended up getting married later in her life, and her legacy ended up bringing the airbenders back. Many, many years later, they flourished, and statues of Ty Lee were placed in the 4 air temples. The new Airbender race seemed a lot more cheery than the old one, which said something in and of its self considering who the airbenders originally were. They style of bending was also slightly different (not to mention more acrobatic) but considering it was a race that nearly faced extinction, no one complained.
Mai was a worldwide legend, about equal with my group in fame. She was a world-class ninja, and she ended up sharing her skills only to a very select few. She was generally in the earth kingdom whipping the Dai Li into shape, and the law enforcement of the world improved because of her doings. It is unknown if she ever married, and if and when she died.
I, Kai Serenes II, continued to fulfill my duties as the avatar, but it never stopped me from constantly visiting my friends Sanaki, Katara, Toph, Sokka, Ty Lee, Iroh, Mai, and my mother. When I died, the avatar spirit moved on to someone in the earth kingdom. In the meantime though, it remained with me, but I never had to use powers as extreme as the ones I had used against Clazdian. I was thankful for that. Incidentally, I did find myself a husband later in life; and, like my father, he was also surprisingly named Zihark. Coincidences happen, you know...
My mother, Kai Serenes I, followed Iroh around, and the two of them would travel together, for both of them were old and wise. When my mother died, there was an international day of mourning. It was here that I learned just how famous she had been. The earth avatar that succeeded me ended up asking me why she was so famous. They were talking about an “incarnation of Kai”. It was here that I learned about my fame, but, like my mother, I never really was into that sort of thing. I just told her that her heritage was very interesting, and that she sort of had a lot to live up to.
Sanaki ended up going back to the Fire Nation. It turned out that she had indeed been waiting for a man, and this man’s name was Saza. My mother said that he and Sanaki had met long, long ago, and that they had fallen in love then and there. Sanaki was loyal enough that she awaited her return, and when she next met him, they were married, and Saza became Fire Lord. Although there was the “Lord over Lady” principle, Saza would never make any verdicts without getting Sanaki’s consent, for the love that these two shared was mutual. Sanaki ended up one time referencing to me that it was something that she and Saza did that made her able to hold her breath for so long. Sanaki’s legacy was glorious as well, and she and Saza produced a fine family from which the future Fire Lord would come. Moreover, she also had a set of twins. Incidentally, they were both girls. To Sanaki’s great interest, one of the girls—the 2nd one to be exact—was born blind. Sanaki ended up teaching this one how to manage firebending despite being blind, and the legend of the blind firebending master continued.
Tera continued to wander the world. Like Iroh, Ty Lee, my mother, or any other wanderer though, she would pay us visits very often, and often times we all would make plans to meet again. She was immortal though, so after we passed away she remained. However, she would often vanish into the spirit world on “business”. This “business” was visiting us once we had all passed away, and her presence was welcomed. However, before we passed away, we learned something interesting. Tera had found love in a supernatural that had not been created by Clazdian. He had formed when the elements collided, similar to the old legend. He and Tera fell in love at once, for their past stories were actually very similar. They had a beautiful family, and soon enough, the supernatural race again began to flourish. People just began to accept them as people with yellow eyes and huge ears, and they only used their powers when they had to, or for practical uses. They became a liked race, and have lived happily since.
Like the avatar before me, I was simply a young avatar who had a great destiny sort of thrown onto my head. I might have done an incredible job in the eyes of some people, but I was merely doing my job. Of course, although some people called me perfect, I knew better. Like any human, I had flaws, and I acknowledged them. Like my mother, I was rather shy to the end of my days. People would sometimes playfully make fun of me for that, and I often just shrugged it off.
This is the end of my story. I guess the phrase “and they all lived happily ever after” really can happen sometimes. I guess we must have been some of the lucky ones. I mean, my very existence was proof that the avatar cycle had survived. My story though, was over.
