enjoy.
CHAPTER 99: THE EIGHT WARRIORS
Eventually though, the group did part ways so that everyone could continue with their normal lives. However, they would get together often, and if they were not all able to be there, they would see each other in their travels a lot, for none of them could ever stay in one place, not even Orzon and Ayumi.
Great temples were erected in every major city in each Nation, all of them with the same purpose—to honor the legendary heroes who had changed the course of the world and had saved it from oppression. The names of these heroes—Kimiko Nagishima, Cheng Alesha, Lehran Serenes, Altina Serenes, Koara Lombardi, Mulan Kumani, Zakura Ishiko, Royota Fenyk, Taki Masahiro, Orzon Zhaoka, Ayumi Zhaoka, Iresu Fenyk, Zeruda Mezkiel, Alzar Miyamoto, Shinon Iwata, Aiku Tadashi, Zinjamyn Sakurai, Tenoko Dragmire, Sanaki Foxx, Reyson Mezkiel, Meili Meisha, Maric Dragmire, Malak Dragmire, Vigo Zakatau, Azula Caroso, Sokka Altina, Katara Altina I, Zuko Altina, Kai Serenes XLIII, Michiko Yao, Fukuda Yao, Zuki Meisha, Katara Altina II, and the late Ryuka Satoru—were remembered for thousands of years to come.
Kimiko periodically paid visits to the prison site where her life had changed forever in more ways than one. Occasionally, Cheng would be with her, but for the most part, this was personal business. She still mourned over her dead family, but she knew that there was no way of bringing them back, and she did not dwell upon it.
Kimiko also became much less shy than she used to be, and she no longer shied away when people looked at her scar. She also actually would talk to people about it when they asked her. Less than a year after the Avatar War, as it came to be known as [and the heroes, good and evil, became known as “The Avatar Warriors”], she became Kimiko Serenes, after she and Lehran married.
Their eldest two children were daughters, the eldest a waterbender, and the next a firebender. They also had two sons, both of whom were waterbenders, and the baby was a firebending son. They bore the same rugged appearance as their father, and the stubbornness and persistence of their mother. The scar on their mother’s face became an icon of sorts—something they all wanted to aspire to—something such as “I want to be as brave as mommy was”. So far, they are succeeding.
Cheng occasionally went with Kimiko to the prison site, as it was him meeting her that caused him to have his change of heart. He would also occasionally visit his parents, both of whom were safe at the Southern Water Tribe. He took Taki with him for that, and they grew fond of her as well; and they loved their grandchildren.
A few months after the Avatar War had ended, Taki gave birth to a healthy set of twins—a male firebender and a female earthbender. Their appearances were so much like their father and mother respectively, that they were named after their parents, thus giving rise to the names Cheng Alesha I & II, and Taki Alesha I & II. Cheng II turned out to be almost exactly like his father, and Taki II turned out almost exactly like her mother. There were several inside jokes made about these two by their parents as they grew up, but all in all, there were no family quarrels. They also enjoyed their younger siblings, as the Alesha family, in a 17-year period, had a total of 8 children.
Lehran returned to his village to ensure that everything was alright, and after marrying Kimiko, they never really found a place to settle down except the Northern Water Tribe, in a town near the Serenes Village. Needless to say, he accompanied Kimiko during her annual travel to the prison where her life had changed, as Lehran’s place of residence was very close to where he had been introduced to The Avatar Guard by Koara Lombardi. They met a lot as well, as Koara would often pay them some visits.
Lehran was an amazing father, just like Kimiko was an amazing mother. Many of the Serenes Waterbenders would visit them though, because they grew fond of his young family. Lehran did find his mother and father upon his return, but Altina by that time didn’t want to be away from Lehran, and so Lehran kept her, though he visited his parents often enough that it wasn’t a big deal.
Little Altina grew up to be a fine young Serenes Waterbender. Like her older brother, she never stayed put, and she traveled the world as well. The scars on her face only added to the traditional deceptive appearance that most Serenes Waterbenders had—they looked tough and rugged, but on the inside, they were quiet and gentle. Altina grew up to be no exception to this principle. She was well-liked, especially because she was not as shy as Lehran had been when he was her current age. She was an outgoing young lady, and she made many friends. She viewed Lehran as her father almost.
Altina had a few emotional problems as she was growing up, but it was nothing that Lehran and Kimiko could not solve. The scars on her face did sometimes hurt, but not often enough to become a disturbance. She became famous for being the baby that went to war, being only 2 years old during the majority of The Avatar War.
Koara Lombardi traveled a lot, mostly between the two Water Tribes, though she settled in the Southern Water Tribe. 17 years after the war, when the next event related to said war occurred, she was still alive, being 110 years old, and still hale. Many jokes were made about her age, but Koara’s positive attitude only caused her to laugh with them as well. She was a popular in the Southern Water Tribe, often telling some of the younger warriors, hunters, and tribes-people in general some of the stories of her long life, all of which were interesting.
Koara once claimed that she was going to die during one of her stunts, especially at her age. However, even at 110, she is still continuing her stunts, and is still not dead. She sees death as merely the way to see her husband again, but she also enjoys life, and knows that people would be sad if she died, and so she put her life in fate’s hands, deciding to let it decide when it wanted to take her.
Mulan immediately went to the Eastern Air Temple after the war was over, mainly to check on her child, who she named Nikita Zakura Kumani. Despite Ju Long’s death, she still retained the name, for, despite his betrayal, she had still loved him. From there, she mostly spent her time around the air temples, but occasionally dropped by Fengtai or Ba sing Se to see how Zakura fared. She also became acquainted with Yang while Yang was in prison, and Mulan was one of the few people that she would talk to.
Mulan raised Nikita by herself, never remarrying. There were certain scars that she could not heal, and Ju Long’s betrayal was one of them. When Nikita grew old enough, Mulan told her the heartbreaking tale of how Ju Long had threatened her life, and how bad she felt after they had broken apart from each other. Nikita grew into a skilled airbender and a very mature young woman. She was proud of her middle name.
Royota often visited the palace, but all in all, he had retired, even from the military. However, he claimed to be on “active reserve” along with the rest of Zakura’s Elite, should anything bad happen or should The Order again try to rise as a group of extremists. He settled down in Ba Sing Se with his sister Iresu. However, they too traveled around a lot, as the world was a very fun place to travel around, especially during times of peace, and knowing that it was being supervised under Zakura’s reign—the avatar’s watchful eye.
Royota did not just sit around and nothing though. He became sage in various Earth Kingdom temples, advising young military officers and seasoned ones alike. We was well-known throughout the military of the Water Tribes, Earth Kingdom, and Fire Nation [since the Air nomads still had no formal military; though there were a few soldiers, many of which knew Royota Fenyk]
Taki followed her “Cheng-Cheng” nearly wherever he went, though when he went to Kimiko’s prison site, she usually went to Kyoshi Island or to the arena where she had first met Royota and her life had changed. She also trained her children, namely, Cheng II and Taki II, how to be good combatants, and then let them enter into arena matches, which were supervised by Zakura’s watchful eye.
Taki had indeed been pregnant during the course of battle at the tower, but luckily, her twins had been strong and healthy. Taki did sometimes become emotional when Cheng would take them to visit his parents, as it reminded her of her parents and siblings, all of whom were dead. Nevertheless, she enjoyed the company of Cheng’s parents as they were very friendly and fond of Taki as well. Taki’s bloodlust died down slightly, but it still existed as one of her “flaws”, but that did not deter Cheng at all. Their love was too strong to let mediocre things like that affect it, and they lived happily together for the rest of their days.
All in all, the world became a better place once the war was over, and so far this stood true. These are only the stories of the original figures to join “The Avatar Guard”.
“To think,” Said Taki to the others, “that before this we were all just normal people; now we’re legends—every one of us.”
“Aye,” Koara replied, “now we’ve even got our own title for this little group of us—we are known as The Eight Warriors.”
