White. All that the eye could see. A brilliant landscape sheathed utterely in white. Great drifts and hills of it. Nothing but white; and yet, hidden among the pristine windswept ocean of snow lay a ruin of fallen buildings and the charred remains of tents. This was the Southern Water Tribe. Nearly nothing remained of the once proud city. THe ruthless soldiers of the Fire Nation had once again raided the people of the Water Tribe. They had survived for so long under countless attacks but not this time. This time, the Fire Nation had not even left the people among the wreckage. This was the horrible sight that greeted the small party from the Northern Water Tribe. They had set out weeks before to help their sister-tribe members only to find that they were too late. Master Paku, the leader of the small group had amedietly taken charge of the ghastly situation. Every person there was capable at water bending so they were all soon rebuilding the snow structures in earnest. THough one member of the party was not satisfied just to rebuild. This persons name was Naeco. She was the first girl to be tought by Master Paku after Master Katara had left. She had followed him for days constantly asking him to teach her. Finnaly he had given in much to her delight. Naeco unlike the others believed that they should search for the people of their sister-tribe instead of rebuilding. But when she approached Master Paku he refused saying that if they were even still alive they would be far in Fire Nation territory. A place they could not enter with so few people. Naeco had left it at that knowing she could not win with words. Though secretly she vowed that she would not rest until the people of the Southern Tribe were safely found. So now the young girl stood on the edge of a snow strewn cliff over looking the vast emptyness of the South Pole. A chill wind blew around her, rustling the dark blue fabric of the Northern Water Tribe. Her eyes, which also marked her as water tribe, searched the barren landscape for life without success. The bright orbs moved ceaselessly as her tireless search continued. In the center of those orbs was a black like the fathomless depths of the ocean. Surrounding this was a clear blue like a deep pool shaded by trees under the shimmering rays of the moon. Around the bright blue was a clean white much like the foam that crests waves as they crash upon a rocky shore. The wind continued to swirl around her causing Naecos black hair to fly around her face. Her hair was her most unusual trait. As a child she had been born weak and sickly. Her parents had brought her to the Spirit Oasis and much like Princess Yue, Maecos life had been saved by the Spirits. Only in her case it was La the Spirit of the Ocean who had poured some of its life into her, under a New Moon. "Naeco", a voice cut through the silence of the frozen tundra. She turned slowly to face the owner of the voice. "Master Paku" she quietly murmered, lowering her eyes. "Don't you think it's time to retire for the day? The sun is nearely set." "I'll come in a moment." Was her soft reply as she turned away from him. She felt the weight of his hand on her shoulder, being unusualy kind. "You're not still thinking about that are you?" Naeco remained silent. "Just remember what I told you. There's nothing you can do to save them. If you tryed to follow them into the Fire Nation you'd get killed." Still Naeco refused to speak. "Don't stay out too long." Master Paku said . She heard him walk away. Still she remained standing there long after his footsteps had faded away. As the moon slowly rose above the horizon a plan began to form in her mind. The words of Master Paku were quickly forgotten. After a few minutes of quick planning Naeco slowly walked back to camp. She stealthily avoided the main building where the others were resting after their hard day of work. She grabbed a few items including a canoe. She placed the canoe in the water and gently loaded it. Naeco turned to face camp where she could still faintly hear the happy conversations. As she turned to step into the canoe she silently promised that she would return and explain everything. That had been a month ago and she had long ago abandoned her canoe. Naeco had finnaly found the location of the Avatar and his friends. She had planned on entering Ba Sing Se but her plans had been dashed upon discovering that the Fire Nation had struck and defeated Ba Sing Se as well. Put back but not detered, Naeco discovered that the Avatar had been spotted in a forest not too far from Ba Sing Se. She had quickly entered the woods in hopes of finding him and his friends. She slowly passed beneath the trees, making sure to listen intently for any sounds. After all the Avatar wasnt the only one out there. Other less friendly people would be taking refuge in the 'safety' of the forest and Naeco didnt have the time or patience to fight anyone. She wasnt even sure if the Avatar and his friends would be /able/ to help. All she knew was that they were her last chance.
