South Pole: Southern Water Tribe ~ Sasuno'o's Revenge

Tsukaia scowled quietly to herself as she unloaded with her mother, uncle and the other passengers out onto the ice. The camp of the Southern Water Tribe, having a resemblance to the more Northern Water Tribe, was frigid and cold.

She hugged her coat closer to herself and used her Firebending to heat her up somewhat. "Wh-why did we h-have to come here?" she asked bitterly.

"You said you wanted to get out of the house. So did we, so we took you with us," Tekara replied noncommittally as she walked alongside her (much) younger brother Kiari.

Kiari, however, gave her a much considerable answer. "When your mother and I left the Northern Water Tribe," he explained. "We wanted to get to the Southern Tribe. But everything changed when the Fire Lord took us under his wing."

Tsukaia glared some more. They entered an inn/bar, where people ate and drank in the (surprisingly warm) interior. They ordered a seat and sat down to look at the menu.

Sasuno'o looked down at the tribe from above the cliff. He still had Pyro tethered by shadow chains. He looked down at the tribe "How peaceful..." he said coldly "Let's disturb that peace with our revenge shall we Pyro?" The spirit growled at him, Sasuno'o scoffed and sent a jolt of electricity through the chains. "Now, now, be nice Pyro" he said "Let's go"

Aki looked out at the sun, the was shinning brightly but the air was icy cold. Aki put on her parka and went outside to see everyone just working and doing their on business. Aki saw a different site 3 people unloading supplies and going into the 'Ocean Blue Bar and Inn' Then it hit Aki. That was Tekara. Aki looked though the door of the 'Ocean Blue' to see them siting at the counter looking at the menu. Aki walked over and said "Hello Tekara."

Will was flying threw the air on his glider loving the cold air brushing against his face. "Whoo hoo! YEAH!" He screamed as he glided threw the air. Right then he hit something in the air probably a bird, it made a hole in his glider... Down Will went spiraling into the snow. Will slowly got up and looked around. His vision started to blur as he passed out.

Tekara felt someone behind her, but the inn was rather crowded so she didn't mind at first. It was until she heard the person speak to her, say her name that she turned around. Beautiful blue eyes stared back at her, attached to a surprisingly familiar face framed by unnatural black hair.

Tekara reveled in her presence of a close friend. "Aki!" she breathed, proceeding to throw her arms around the other woman. "How come you're not in the ocean?" she teased good-naturedly.

"Mom," a voice groaned somewhere in the booth. "Who the hell is this?" Tsukaia muttered, poking at her menu with unveiled annoyance.

Tekara glared viciously at her. "Just because we're in public doesn't mean I won't have the audacity to smack the shit outta you Tsukaia, remember that."

Tsukaia rolled her eyes.

"Aki," Kiari began, his tone lilting and calm. "Is a good friend of ours. She's been around since I was young. And she is rather... special." He did not look up from his menu as he spoke, long hair falling over his shoulders. In the years he'd grown very handsome, still with a delicate face and slender body. Even so, he was powerfully strong.

Tekara herself had grown curvy and fuller with health. She let her hair grow this time, and it fell just to her shoulder blades. She wore a thick clothes to protect herself from the cold, but her figure was still apparent. Sitting down next to Tsukaia, she motioned for Aki to sit across from her, next to Kiari.

Aki sat down next to Kiari and across from Tekara. "I have missed you so much since the sun warrior city." Aki said then doing a slight flash back then she came back to her senses. "Who is this young lady here? Tsukaia?" Aki said looking at the sixteen year-old girl with her pink eyes rolling around. "Tekara why are you at the southern water tribe? How are the triplets all good natures I presume?"

Will lay passed out in the snow when the bird that made him crash flew over him and pooped right on his forehead, this made him wake up... "Eww... What happened?" He tried to stand up but he fell, finally he stood up and started to make his way towards town, he found an Inn and decided to check in there for the day... Or until he could get out of here whenever that would be.

"This child here is my daughter Tsukaia," Tekara told her, purposefully enunciating the word. She felt her daughter glare again, and resisted the urge to 'smack her face straight' in front of her best friend in the entire world. And her little brother.

"Why are you at the Southern Water Tribe? How are the triplets; all in good nature I presume?" Aki questioned, obviously eager to know.

Tekara responded to the first one fairly easily. "Remember when I told you about how I'd run away from the tribe with Kiari when I was sixteen?" she said. "I was trying to take him and myself to the Southern Tribe, where I could have an easier life. That didn't go as planned. I'd never seen this place, so well, I'm here now." She smiled.

"The triplets are... doing well I suppose. Ama and Tsukiyomi are all getting stronger and stronger by the day. Susano'o, however, has a worse attitude than this one here." She glanced pointedly at Tsukaia.

The silver-haired girl prodded her menu stubbornly, reddish brown eyes flicking over her mother. "Susano'o is great!" she protested. "Nobody understands him."

Kiari quietly watched, his violet eyes soft with contemplation. "How are you, Aki?" he questioned after a minute, smiling somewhat.

Kyoko came down on a boat powered by waterbending, and she stepped off, behind her, was her baby children, Mei and Suzune, and she walked to an Inn when she saw Tekara and Kiari. ''Tekara! Its you!''. She said and she went to hug her niece. ''I havent seen you in ages!''. Kyoko said, and she was so happy to see Jakota's daughter. Mei and Suzune were both very young, but taken into care for a few moments whilst Kyoko came to battle. She looked at Kiari and whispered to Tekara, ''My, my he's grown. I remember him as a small boy''. Kyoko said and she was amazed how much Kiari had grown.

Tekara was speechless with surprise. "My, my, all of you are turning up here. I'm so glad I came!" she stood and gave Kyoko a huge hug, almost numb with happiness. "I've missed you so much, Kyoko!"

She gestured to Kiari, who looked as if he wanted to hug Kyoko was well. "He has grown hasn't he?" she said lovingly. "Did you know he has a wife and a son now? I'm so proud."

Kiari blushed somewhat, his embarrassment clear. It was true that he'd grown over the years; exchanging his childhood face with a more handsome, mature physique. Exchanging his cheerful, innocent attitude with a more demure, regal guise.

Finally, Tekara stood from her side, exposing Tsukaia. The girl was thin, but still full-figured like her mother. Shoulder-length silver hair was pulled into a spiky ponytail and streaked with pink and glitter. For now her bulky dress hid the rest of her body, but her large reddish brown eyes were obviously displeasured.

"This is my daughter," said Tekara. "Her name is Tsukaia, she's a Firebender."
