Gunners Coin

by imtryingtowrite

Azula hatches a plan that leaves Katara as an unwilling member of the Gunners Fold which is an organisation of assassins in the Fire Nation. There is no avatar. She never met Aang or Iroh or Zuko. And Sokka is the only family she has left. Zutara Rated T for a generally huge death theme and dark feeling.

Prologue

'I have a job for you. This woman will ruin my future, so I want you to ruin hers.' The cultured, cold voice that belonged to none other than Princess Azula herself rang out through the room and Mai's eyes widened slightly in surprised.

'Of course Princess Azula, whatever you wish. The Gunner's Fold will be happy to accommodate your wishes.'

'Ugh. Must you use that term? It's so vulgar. Gunner. Such an outdated slang term.'

'Please forgive me Princess Azula, I have associated myself with commoners for far too long. The Assassins Fold will carry out your instructions to the letter.'

Azula's lip curled. 'I want you to capture the waterbender. Her name is Katara.'

'Capture, Princess? The Fold does not normally take prisoners.'

'Then drive her insane.' She murmured with a cold disposition.

'That, we can do.'
