Ty Lee sat silently watching Azula train in the palace gardens. Her movement is strong and so full of life it makes Ty Lee gasp and aw in wonder. Azula kicks up one more flaming blue orb and, with great anger and force, propels it into a tree, then she sits next to her friend, smiling proudly and almost cruelly.
"Amazing." Ty Lee claps, handing the princess a goblet of water. "You're so good at fire bending!"
"I know, aren't I just perfect?" Azula points to herself, sipping the cold drink.
Ty Lee laughs sweetly. "No one is perfect Azula, but you come very close."
Azula snaps, spitting out her water. "What." She stands up in front of her friend, blue fire tendrils curling from her, now clenched, fists. "Try and beat me then, prove you're better!" She yells.
Azula let's out a growls, her usually flawless features contorting into an almost animalistic scowl.
Ty Lee shakes her head as she attempts to avoid the dangerous glare. "Azula, it was a compliment."
"No, it was a sign of betrayal, just like Mai, for my useless brother, remember what I did to her?"
The circus performer nods, tears forming in her pretty, wide eyes.
"That's right, I killed her, betrayal won't be tolerated, nor will calling me imperfect, I'm perfect Ty Lee, and you will never say otherwise again!" Azula yells, taking a stance, looking like a snake ready to snap.
"Yes Azula, you're perfect, I didn't know what I was saying." Ty Lee bows lowly at Azula's feet, letting the tears fall.
"Don't forget it Ty lee, my regards to Mai."
With a swift hand movement Azula strikes Ty Lee, dead. Her warm, red blood staining the immaculately trimmed grass.
"And don't forget it." She repeats, collapsing in front of Ty Lee's cold, lifeless body. Hot fat tears trace her features.
"Ever."
