Avatar: What if - Book 1

What if... Zuko was an only a child??

Time

Space

Reality

It is more than a linear path... it is a prism of unlimited possibilities... where a single choice can be divided into infinite realities and create alternate worlds to those you already know... I am Xiànshí the spirit of reality, your guide in these new and vast realities, follow me and consider the question... what if??

The hero's path is full of events, decisions, and stories... in each universe, this is no different, but in a multiverse of possibilities the hero's path is full of many battles that define it...

...

Earth Kingdom- Tu Zin

From the hills you can see how a mongoose lizard was quickly approaching the abandoned town of Tu Zin, on top of it it had a rider looking ahead, it was chasing its target, and he and his team had been following it at a fast pace for hours, without possibilities of rest and hoping to agitate him until it occurred to his enemies that they could distract them with a false trail they were divided, so he decided to advance here to where the trail was leading him, something tells him that what he is looking for came in this address.

When he sets his eyes on the town he can see that this town is in ruins, it must have been abandoned a long time ago, the ideal place to hide, then he can see that the trail is ending but when he sees what is at the end, he can see that he was not wrong.

He examines the person in front of him, according to the descriptions he obtained then it is him.

The Avatar.

He stops his mount and gets off it to walk and see the Avatar in front and when he gets a better look he can't believe what he sees.

-Very well... you already found me... now tell me who you are and what you want??

While the other cannot believe it, when he arrived he undoubtedly expected something different, not what he was seeing.

-You are the Airbender?? You are the Avatar??

Seeing it better, Aang stands up in a defensive position, pointing his staff at him.

The one who confronts him just shakes his head in disbelief - I received reports of the Avatar causing problems for the Fire Nation, I spent weeks, practicing and meditating for this moment... and in the end, you are just a child??!!!

Aang neglects his position for a moment to examine the one facing him. He was a young man from the Fire Nation, with clothing that did not belong to Fire Army soldiers, he wore an ornament in his hair that made him stand out and had eyes of molten gold.

-And you're just a teenager...- he reiterates to make her understand that he is also very young.

The aforementioned only denies and smiles with some arrogance to immediately present himself with a straight posture.

-I'm not just a simple teenager, Avatar... my name is Zuko, son of Ursa and Fire Lord Ozai, prince of the Fire Nation and heir to the Throne

-And now that??

-Now??... - Zuko was a little annoyed by Aang's attitude towards him, but he decided to put it aside to focus on his mission and make the situation clear to him - now it's over, you're tired and there's nowhere to run and Even if you run I'm going to catch you.

-I'm not going to run away... others have tried to capture me and failed.

Zuko just shakes his head without leaving his smile - Those who tried Avatar are not like me, you faced Fire Nation soldiers and high-ranking officers and defeated them... I admit it, you are powerful and you may count. with the help of more than one element, but I didn't come here to fail... so if I were you, wouldn't I make this more difficult or do you want to fight me??
