This choice: Sokka the Avatar's Body Guard • Go Back... Sokka was running as he swung his club as a slosh of snow. Reaching for his back he produced his boomerang. Throwing it he leaped over two snow ropes that went for him. The boomerang hit a hoodie girl that wore fur tank top hoodie with skirt.
Landing Sokka looked at all the guys that laid facing down in the snow. They were knocked out or just not capable of fighting any longer. In front of him were three last girls that wore hoods covering their faces. They wore similar cloths compared to the last one he took out.
The boomerang laid in the snow as he only had his club left with a machete safely tucked in his belt. His jaw bone dagger was tucked in his boot, concealed as a ankle wrap. For that 'broken' ankle he got that morning. Fighting with favoring only one leg was bothersome, but he had to keep his ruse up just a little longer.
Glaring he then moved as he grabbed his machete and whipped it out. Moving with his left foot the one that was not 'broken' he went for the attack. Two of the female water benders moved their hands to have the snow become a wall. While the third moved her hands to make a large ball of snow to take out Sokka.
Throwing his machete Sokka saw the wall that turned into ice break as the snow ball came at him. Moving his club he took a swing at the snow ball as he broke it into slosh. He was on the machete as he picked it up and ducked as a snow came from one girl. The snow hit the second girl who tried to snatch Sokka in a snow pit.
Sokka hit the ground with his club stabilizing it temporarily as he moved up and back armed the snow thrower. The two were down and as the other girl moved the snow to render him of his weapons she smirked. She then said to him arrogantly, "The fact that you took out six water benders that took out almost all the hunters and warriors was impressive. And with a sprained ankle no less, but you have not weapon. Surrender and I might not make you into a laughing stock."
Lowering his arms and head in defeat he let the girl approach him. Just as she was in range Sokka went to the ground as she gasped in surprise. Going for his dagger he pulled it out as he flipped it to her neck grabbing her hands with his bandage cloth. She could not move her hands to bend and she had a dagger at her throat.
Sokka then said to her, "I win."
Claps and woots were heard as he grinned backing off. The girl then said to him angry, "You faked that injury? That seems very little in honor."
Sokka then said to her, "Strategy when it comes to benders requires a little of the deceit. Sides, no rules and no kills, alls fair in this battle."
Walking up was Hakoda as he then said to Sokka, "Alright, you have proven your worth. Now, your responsibility is to protect the Avatar while the Avatar makes her journey to the four nations trying to complete what Avatar Aang could not. Do you think you could do that Sokka?"
Nodding Sokka then said as he held up his dagger, "I swear upon my honor and life that the Avatar will receive full protection."
Looking over to the hut that a pair of older guards were standing watch over was a figure coming out. It was Katara as she smiled at him and said to Sokka, "Thank you, Sokka I will be trusting you with my protection."
Bowing Sokka then said to her, "It would be an honor, my avatar."
Smiling she then closed her eyes as she said to him, "Sometimes, I wish you were my brother. You'd fit the role so much better, than body guard."
Sokka then replied to her, "Sometimes I feel as if with how we've grown up together as best friends that we are like brother and sister. But, those feelings will no longer get in the way of my duty. Now, we must complete what the last avatar could not."
A pang struck Katara as she no longer saw her best friend that she used to go making snow men with. No, what she saw was a young man that had been her long time best friend now turn into a man. A man with a mission of protecting her, this made her miss the old times. But, everyone has to grow up eventually, perhaps this older Sokka might come with better or more advantageous benefits than the younger one.
Sokka went to retire to his hut as he went up to a large ice wall with a half hut in front. Inside was a long cavern tunnel that had a few walls in place. There was a square fire place that had Gran Gran tending to some Arctic Wolverine Foxes cooking on a spindle with some fish on sticks and a tray that had sizzling Otter Penguin steaks.
Sokka had smelled the air as he licked his lips and heard his stomach growl. He noticed at the second fire pit was a stand that held two different pots. One was sea prune stew and the other was the two fish head soup. Under the pots of stew and soup was a lower spindle that had a small pot almost kettle size with six eggs from an Arctic Hen. | Members who added to this interactive story also contributed to these: |
