Part 1
Title: Souls Torn and Mended
An avatar the last airbender story^^
TW: Violence, Familial Abuse
Description: Azula's lightning strike did more than kill Aang that day. Even with Kataras healing and revival using the spirit water, a part of him stayed dead. That small, torn piece of soul continued to reincarnate-but two avatars cannot exist at once. Binding the spirit in chains, whoever obtained the soul in their body could neither bend the elements nor commune with the ghosts of the afterlife. This should have been the perfect solution. Of course, it [i]was[/i] the perfect solution until now. With the awakening of the second half of the soul, two avatars now exist in a world riddled with chaos and spirits. Working together they must prevent the destruction of the world, find peace with the suffering spirit world, and discover who they are truly meant to be.

"You are not my son."
Looking down at my form, he spoke. I had barely managed to separate him from mother.
"My family has fire-bended for generations. I might have been a failure, but I had high hopes for you, Kaoru. But this..." Turning to look at the broken flower pot, water now lifeless on the floor, his gaze travelled back to me and my mother. "This is worse than failure. This is deception by a cheating whore."
"I have never been unfaithful!" My mother, already strained from shouting this a million times over, insisted again.
As she sobbed and he shouted the only thing I could think was that I shouldn't have done it.
For an entire year I kept my water bending a secret. My 17th birthday was when I found out, and then I did everything to practice on my own without anyone watching. I planned to move out once my 18th birthday had passed, but it seems misfortune favors me too much to let sleeping dogs lie...
