The Avatar Returns (private-Naruto347)(Mature?)

Naruto347

Shiro was taken back a bit by the flashy show of power that she did in the middle of the marketplace, he glanced around at the crowd that had surrounded them giving them a good ten feet of distance between Shiro and the on-lookers. His eye's fll back on Mara who still was poised in a position ready to attack and probably kill him right now but he wasn't afraid, he had been in worse situations and knew how to get out of them. He rose his voice loud enough for everyone in the crowd to hear his next words as they came to his mind. "The Fire Nation Princess?! Well if your telling the truth then shouldn't you be rich and that would mean that you can spare a few coins to the poor...but surely your lying about that or else there would be Fire Nation guards surrounding you at this very moment unless...they don't know your here! Maybe you've run away or something similiar and the Fire Nation has put a substantial reward out for your safe journey home!" He smiled as he watched his words take effect on the crowd, the murmurs were audible to him even from the ten foot distance and he heard them speaking of how much money they could get for taking the Fire Princess back home. Soon enough the crowd had converged on the two of them trying to get to Mara to get her to go with them which Shiro took advantage of for he had slipped away and was now happily strolling away towards a dark alley to get Mara off his trail.

A sigh escaped the young girl's mouth. He had obviously taken her money. She finished up her cup and pulled a few copper coins hidden in her dress. She stood, straightening the fabric, and walked calmly out the front just as the cabbage man's cart spectacle occurred. Mara walked as the thief gave the man money from her bag. She grunted, crossing her arms. No doubt he'd make her broke soon. She pushed through the crowd, watching as he spent even more of her coins. Mara shot a flame high into the sky. The people moved away in a frenzy. "It's her! It's her! The daughter of the fire nation king!" people murmured with frightened voices. Her eyes were determined as she stretched two fingers in front of her, pointed directly at the boy's head.

"Thief." She stated sans emotion. "You knew who I was, or are you an ignorant fool desperate for spare change? Everyone knows I have a temper and do not tolerate those who steal from me. I will kill you." Mara stood a mere five feet from where he stood. Her bending was strong enough to kill from twenty.

As Shiro fell back onto the ground he laughed slightly and smiled at Mara, e slowly stood up and dusted himself off before bowing to her. "My apologize's, you saw right through my lie. I guess I'll just be on my way then pretty lady..." He stood straight up again and began to whistle as he made his way out of the small restaraunt, when he got outside of it h pulled out a large pouch of gold coins he had stolen from Mara when she had gotten close to him. This was how Shiro survived out in world, by tricking people and 'borrowing' money every now and then. Shiro made his way towards the market place of Omashu, he would pick up some fruit and supplies then explore the city some more. He was interested in the amazing network of slides that allowed the movement of food and other items throughout the city very easy. Shiro made his way into the bustling marketplace trying to fight against the tide of playful children escaping from mothers who were busy bargaining for a cheaper price. He walked over to a small cart filled with cabbages and smiled at the man who was selling them. "It doesn't look like your getting many customers, why would you sell cabbages out of everything there is to sell?" Shrio smiled as the man laughed and shook his head."Oh ho, you see my family has been selling cabbages from even before the great avatar Aang's time who had stopped the 100 year war. It's family tradition that I plan to pass onto my son when he grows old enough! Shiro smiled and felt a bit bad for the man so he grabbed a head of cabbage and pulled out one of the coins that he had stolen before handing it to the man when all of a sudden out of nowhere a stone basket broke loose from the slides that snaked throughout the city and was hurtling towards them. Shiro quickly grabbed the man and ducked out of the way but the ston basket slammed into the cabbage cart causing wood and cabbages to fly everywhere. "MY CABBAGE'S!!! I'M RUINED!!!" Shiro watched as the man picked up a shred of cabbage leaf and stood over his wrecked cart, he sighed and pulled out a few more coins before handing them to the man. "Here, with this you can buy a new cart to start up your business again, I hope it goes well this time." He smiled and walked off as the man didn't know whether to cry over his cart and cabbages or thank Shiro for his generosity...with someone else's money might I add. Shiro walked over to a new stand and bought a few apple's and pears before walking out into an open street where he could move without bumping into people. Shiro pulled a pear out of his bag and took a large bite from it as he looked around and wondered what he would explore first.

(I had to throw the cabbage guy into there, it was too good to not do it ^^ and I forgot to ask but do you want air nomads to be re-populated or no? ^^)

Mara looked at the boy through the corners of her eyes. She wasn't naive. He was definitely not an entertainer from the restaurant, and it was obvious with the way he was glancing at her pouch full of money. She smiled coyly at him, a mischievious glint in her gold orbs. "Why don't you keep me company instead, fine sir?" she patted the spot next to her on the floor. "We can entertain each other." When he did so, she glared and grabbed his shirt, pulling his face closer, scowling. "I know your type. I learned to avoid guys like you," she spat, "So I suggest that you pickpocket some other little girl. Or I will be forced to take matters into my own hands. Meaning I will burn your pretty little head off." Mara hissed, digging two of her fingers into his neck under his chin with her right hand. She let go of him with her left, and he fell back.

She quietly turned back to her food and held her small porcelain cup of tea to her mouth, sipping it slowly. Her father taught her to be strong and stand up for herself, and learnt to use her abilities to protect herself. The boy was a womanizer, to be said simply. Plus, travelling was expensive these days. When he assumed he could get two in one, why wouldn't he attempt?

((Aww, that sucks D8 I still wanna do it, don't worry about it. Take your time))

Shiro had always been very curious about the world, even at a young age he would go out and explore the large city in the North Pole that he grew up in. He was a waterbender of the Northern Water Tribe and had learned just about all he could when it came to bending. He would often go off by himself and explore any strange caves or crevices he came upon without consideration for his safety. It was only natural then that at 17 he ventured out to see the rest of what the world had to offer, he planned to leave the North Pole and travel to all the great cities of the different nations in his life before settling down in the city he enjoyed most. He wasn't doing only to find a home though but for better reasons such as a great adventure to satisfy his craving for excitement, he was also doing it to find pretty girls as well. It had been months since he had left his home, hitching rides with strangers and sailing every now and then when now he found himself in the Earth Kingdom close to the city of Omashu. He was walking down the dirt road holding his bag of food and supplies in one hand and his Water Nation spear in the other, a wagon was making it's way up the road towards him and he smiled before setting up the small trap for it. Shiro hid in a bush and waited until the wagon was close enough before scurrying out and laying in the middle of the road the wagon was on, he then froze some water into a block of ice on the road causing the wagon wheel to hit it and bump over it. "OH NO, THE PAIN, THE HORRIBLE PAIN!!!" Shiro was on the ground clutching his leg as a young poor looking man hopped off the cart to see what he had hit, Shiro looked at the man and smiled to himself slightly as he saw panic fill the man's face. "I THINK IT'S BROKEN, OH NO, I'LL HAVE TO GET THE POLICE AND FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST WHOEVER DID THIS TO ME!" The man quickly ran up to Shiro and helped him sit up. "Hey now, there's no need for that, besides I don't think I could have even hit you seeing as your not even underneath my cart right now..." Shiro quickly grabbed the mans shirt and looked at him seriously. "Is that you papa...I can see a white light...what should I do papa...if only I could go to Omashu I could be saved..." He let go of the man's shirt and fell back onto the ground with a thud before the man helped him up again and led him to the wagon. "Here good sir, ride in the back with ym wife and I'll take you to Omashu! No need to call the police now is there? You just relax and we'll be there in no time!" The man helped Shiro into the back of the wagon where a very beautiful but poor looking woman sat with a worried expression on her face."He'll be fine honey we just need to get him to Omashu fast, right sir?!" The man laughed nervously and ran off to grab Shiro's things before getting back onto the wagon and starting to move again. After a while Shiro noticed the the man focused on steering the wagon intently so Shiro smiled at the woman sheepishly and groaned softly. "My leg hurts so much, if only a beautiful lady would rub it for me to aleve the pain I would be so grateful..." He glanced at her again and smiled as she rolled up his pant leg and began to massage his leg softly with a smile on her face. "If only a beautiful young lady would kiss me, I think that would get rid of all the pain in my heart as well..." He winked at her slightly and pursed his lips together getting ready for a kiss when all of a sudden the woman smacked him hard and he was flung out of the wagon and onto the road as well as his bag and spear. "Hey! Is that any way to treat the guy you ran over?!" He sat up and rubbed his cheek as the wagon sped off down the road leaving a dust cloud behind it. Shiro stood up and looked around before laughing and picking up his things, he was right in front of Omashu now and he made his way along the land bridge leading into the great city. After he made his way through the gates his first priority was to find food and fast, he walked into a small restaraunt and looked around. Shiro noticed a pretty girl with red hair sitting in the corner booth with a sack full of coins hanging from her side, he perked up and made his way across the room before sliding into the booth with her. "Hello there, I'll be your dinner entertainment for this meal, is there anything I can do for a pretty girl like you?"

(OOC: hope this is good enough, as you might know my compy got a virus and still has it but i'll be using a laptop i borowed to come on and reply when i can. sorry that this took so long so if you still want to do this then here it is.)

It had been 300 years since Aang the airbender had been alive as the avatar, and since then two others have followed in his path. Now was the time for another to do the same. The psychics in the fire nation proclaimed the birth of the new avatar within their nation, and once the king's wife discovered that she was pregnant, the entire nation knew it was fate.

-----------

Mara never felt like she belonged. She felt as if her life had a greater, more important purpose than to be the princess of the king of the fire nation. The life of luxery was nice, she had to admit. But it wasn't for her. She was the avatar,for god's sake. Wasn't she supposed to better the world or something? Keep the peace? Because with the fire nation still power-hungry, and on the verge of starting yet another war with the earth nation, she figured there was plenty to fix. Unfortunately, her father wouldn't listen. As usual. Even though she was the avatar.

She'd been treated differently, better even, since birth. Because being the avatar was a big deal. Even if all she did was sit in her room. She could do basic firebending, but only because she'd begged and begged until her father gave in to giving her a teacher for lessons. Her father was protecting her, right? Not. She figured he wouldn't teach her, because she had the power to stop him from world domination.

So Mara ran.

In the middle of the night, she fled through the back door, knocking out the guards who kept her inside. It'd been a month since that day, and she was afraid that he'd send guards all over the nations to find her and drag her back. She was even more afraid because she was alone. And that there were a lot of people who recognized her as the avatar. Currently, she was in Omashu, an earth nation village. She'd heard many stories of how all the avatars before her had travelled there. Apparently it was a big deal. Whatever. She entered a small restaurant, hearing her stomach rumble loudly. She hadn't eaten all day, or since the morning of the day before. She was grateful she'd taken all her money with her, which was quite a lot, being a princess and all.

Mara was seated in a corner booth, thanking the waitress immensely for understanding she'd want to be alone. She ordered a simple bowl of rice. It'd fill her up, satisfy her for a while, and it was cheap. She didn't know how long she'd run for, and she wanted to save every small amount of money as possible.

[Hope that was okay. Maybe your character can be in the restaurant too? Or something, I'm not sure XD I winged this. Let me know if you have any ideas, lol.]
