Hello! This is a story that's been bouncing around in my head for a while so, I thought I would share this with you all.
"I don't understand, not even Master Jinora can find the Avatar?" An olive-skinned man dressed in green.
A man dressed in red standing next to a large window, " Yes, I have talked to Jinora multiple time reminded her the importance of finding Korra. "
" But the spirits surely can find her?"
"No, Jinora can't talk to the spirits, they are very restless. Jinora thinks that it might be Vaatu"
"Mako! The flying monster who attacked Republic City?"
Mako looked at the man sitting at the desk with an annoyed look, sighing," yes, Wu, the flying monster"
"Oh! And Mako, we talked about this! You address me as Your royal most highness!" Wu said standing up from his cluttered desk knocking over many documents that could have been important.
Mako just laughed and Wu struggled out of his robes to get at Mako. Exhausted Wu sat down and put his head in his hands sighing.
"Mako, as much as I appreciate the occasional laugh we have a big problem here. Not only with the Avatar leaving, Republic City is breathing down my neck to help them. If only their damned council will make up its mind about accepting our help of not, half of them want our help and the other half don't!" Wu said pushing half of the papers off, onto a pile of more knocked off papers. " To make matters worse, the part of the council that doesn't want our help is probably working for the Fire Triad"
Mako sighed tipping his head back, "The Fire Triad. If only Team Avatar was still around we would have enjoyed a good fight. Sadly those days are long gone."
Wu's voice took on a new tone,"How are the kids handling Korra's disappearance?"
Mako sat down at one of the chairs splayed out around the messy office"Well Tonre is worried and Naoki tries to ignore it by looking after the youngest Maya."
Wu looked like he was about to offer sympathy when running footsteps rang in the hallway. The golden doors were swung open and a guard stood breathlessly and forced out, "Your Majesty, Queen Avani is in labor.
Wu within seconds was out of the formerly entrapping robes and was out the door heading down the hall with Mako on his heels
When they arrived a guard posted outside of the door was nervously standing clearly out of his comfort zone.
"Move," Wu said attempting to open the door
"I-I-I Sorry your majesty but I a-am under orders not to let in the ki-king," the guard stuttering from being addressed by the King.
"What!" But I am the King! You know supreme ruler of all the land!"
"T-the doctor said i-it would not be w-w-wise for you to be in there."
"Well did anyone say about me?"Mako said.
"N-no sir"
"Well then just let me in and ahh, there you are not in trouble with anyone," Mako said while moving around the terrified guard.
"But what about me?!" Wu said pitifully.
"Don't worry sir I will update you when necessarily," Mako said before closing the door leaving Wu with the guard.
After a while, the only thing that could be heard was the click-clack-clack-click-clack-clack-click sound of Wu pacing back and forth. The guard at the door could not have looked more uncomfortable if he tried
" Your majesty," Mako was at the door letting the light from inside shine through.
"Finally! I have been waiting for ages!" Wu said stumbling into the room. Everyone was standing on one side of the room except for the Queen, who laid in bed exhausted.
"Hello," Queen Avani said reaching out with her spare hand'
Shaken of how tired she looked Wu immediately said," You should go to sleep get some rest, you must be very very tired."
"No, sleeping after a child is born is bad luck." Avani said," I know you think I am silly but really I want to name him with you."
"O-ok," Wu said defeated, Wu tried to sit down -without realizing that there was no chair - falling down.
Avani laughed so hard that the baby started crying.
"Aw, my poor baby," Avani said playing with the baby.
"What about me!"
'Aww, do we need a hug," Avani said with a babyish tone.
"No"
"Good, because we still haven't named him."
"I dunno what do you want to name him,"
"Xeylix"
"What?! How do you even pronounce that, or spell it for that matter!" Wu stared at his wife.
"I just said his name why would you ask that?"
"Because "
Avani sighed,"Key-lix, you spell it like X-E-L-I-X. It was my great-grandfather's name"
"Oh, well I hope he is an earth bender like you," Wu said looking fondly and his wife.
