The sun hung low in the sky, obscured by snow as a cold wind swept through the entire Southern Water Tribe. The sky was dark, as usual, due to the thick clouds of snow.
The winds gently knocked on Norrak's and Katara's now joint tent. It expanded to double its previous size, bigger than even Gran Gran's tent that she had for decades.
Inside the warm tent, the sound of the wind was diluted, almost muted due to the very secure walls. On the floor, the sound of soft breathing from Katara and Norrak bounced off the walls.
Norrak felt his heart beating as if it were trying to jump out of his chest and run away. He looked down at his chest, feeling Katara's back pressing against his front.
They had been in the tent for at least an hour and had eaten some food to quell their hunger from hunting. Katara and Norrak decided to go to sleep for training tomorrow.
'Her skin is warm and elastic... I can feel her against my chest... Is she pushing herself back against me?' Norrak thought as he swallowed his saliva, gulping from nervousness.
His hand lifted, and he gently laid it on Katara's waist, wrapping his arm around her and pulling her even closer to his chest, until he felt her backside against him.
Katara opened her eyes as she felt Norrak's strong arm around her waist, his palm straight against her tummy, pulling her closer. Her cheeks flushed, and she felt her heart beat like thunder.
'His chest sis so warm... I can f-feel his thingy pressing against me... I don't hate it; in fact, I kind of like this. I want to sleep like this every night,' Katara thought as she clasped Norrak's hand in hers, pulling his hand higher until it rested barely under her breasts.
'She likes it when I do this?' Norrak thought as he felt Katara's hand pull his hand higher until he was almost touching her chest. He smiled as he gained some confidence, feeling the ring on his finger.
Why was he so nervous about sleeping with Katara? She was his wife, and they had known each other since they were babies. They should be doing this without embarrassment.
"Katara, turn around for me. I want to see your face," Norrak smiled, and his blue eyes shone as he gently turned Katara around, who looked up at him, her hands placed on his chest.
"Norrak... Your chest feels soft, but hard at the same time," Katara said, trying to tell a compliment, but it came out rather awkwardly for Norrak. Her words caused Norrak to chuckle.
Norrak leaned down, and his forehead touched Katara's; their face was an inch away from touching. Norrak could feel Katara's warm breath on his face.
"Goodnight, Katara," Norrak said as he brought her closer, wrapping his arms around her waist and having her head rest on his arm. He leaned down and pressed his lips against her gently, which she reciprocated eagerly.
Katara closed her eyes, and she smiled as she began to fall asleep comfortably in Norrak's embrace. Norrak also closed his eyes, and his breathing started to smooth and steady.
[Next morning...]
Waking up from his comfortable and deep sleep. Norrak felt Katara sleeping on his chest.
Their position changed when the two were sleeping, and Norrak was lying on his back with Katara sleeping on his chest, her cheek on his chest and leaking a bit of saliva.
"Cute~," Norrak muttered, and Katara, who was pretending to sleep, suddenly opened her eyes, a light pink colour touching her cheeks. She yawned, stretching her hands above her head.
Her shirt rode up, exposing her smooth and creamy brown skin as her tummy was exposed. It was soft, but also athletic due to her lifestyle in this harsh environment.
"Are you tired? We can sleep some more, I wouldn't mind, that's for sure~," Norrak said, his palms cupping the sides of Katara's waist, feeling the bare skin, soft and elastic against his palms.
"I want to as well, but you said we will begin to train together from now on. I want to train with you, please," Katara said, looking up with a pleading look, and Norrak felt a love arrow pierce his chest.
"I was just suggesting, let's go and begin training... After a hearty breakfast," Norrak said, and Katara gigled as she stood up, extracting herself from the warm sleeping bag.
Norrak jumped up, and he soon dressed up with Katara before the two ate some soup with the Arc Hen meat they caught. The meat actually tasted totally like chicken.
The two spent a total of 1 hour inside their tent before moving out. Along the way to their training spot, everyone they met congratulated them on their marriage.
Katara and Norrak thanked them before quickly leaving the town. The two finally reached the icy waters a couple of hundred meters away from the ice village.
Katara and Norrak stood on the edge of the ice continent, and they got ready to train, with Katara explaining some things since she was able to bend much earlier than he was.
"Okay, first of all. Water won't move against an opposing force, so you have to move with it for easier movement," Katara said as she twirled her arms in a circular motion.
The water in the cold ocean suddenly stirred, and a small tornado of water as big as Norrak's leg erupted from the water, spinning in circles at a rapid pace.
'What! I don't remember Katara being this good at waterending.... Eh, whatever, it's not like it's a bad thing,' Norrak thought with a smile as he watched how Katara did the water tornado.
His Six Eyes activated for a few seconds at full power, and he instantly understood the principle behind the technique. Katara stopped moving, and the water tornado fell into the water.
Norrak stepped forward, and he suddenly swiped his arm to the right side. The ocean rippled as a small wave rushed to the right side as well. Feeling the effect, his perfect Chi control immediately showed its advantage.
Swoosh!
A tornado of water erupted from the water, taller than Norrak, and with a hollow inside, almost as if it were a real tornado from wind. Katara opened her eyes wide in surprise and shock.
"Wow, it took a day for me to learn this!" Katara said with shining eyes as she watched the water tornado condense, its speed and power increasing drastically as it became smaller.
"Not bad~," Norrak muttered with a smile.
________________________________
So, I decided to make Katara the actual avatar in this fanfic. And the reason is actually as simple as how it happened.
The reason is that when Aang was frozen in the ice, his body, wrapped in ice and under freezing waters, could not handle it, and so he froze to death.
His death occurred during the birth of Katara, and the Avatar Spirit, Raava, chose Katara since she was a waterbender and the closest one to her.
Thus, Katara became the next avatar, which followed the cycle of reincarnation. Since the next avatar was supposed to be capable of bending water, Katara was chosen.
Simple and quick.
Leave a power stone!
