A/n: I basically wrote this for shits and giggles & as a break from my stories I am more invested in. That being said, don't take this too seriously—because it's not meant to be. It will probally be random, humorous, and a tad cliche, but just sit back and enjoy the ride.
I know I will ;)
Disclaimer: I don't own ATLA. If I did I wouldn't be here now would I?
It was all fairly simple really.
I saw the old man enter the shrine.
I watched it burst into flames.
I stupidly charged in after him.
Perhaps it was the knowing smile he'd given me mere moments before. I wasn't one to make a habit of endangering myself for complete strangers, that's for sure.
I was reasonable. Reliable. Predictable.
So how did I find myself in a burning building dying an excruciating death that didn't even have to happen?
As I stated before, it was simple.
I wanted to know what he knew. What that small, barely perceptible smile was all about.
Curiosity killed the cat, it was a phrase I was all too familiar with, and something I'd spent my entire life desperately avoiding—becoming the cat.
Fortunately for me the cat did indeed have nine lives—though I was pretty sure I used up eight of them—and I was spared, but not in the way you would expect.
It was pretty exciting I guess, if not a bit exhausting, and tale I've told so many times I've lost count.
But I suppose you'll want to hear it anyway right?
Sigh.
Might as well get comfortable, this will definitely take a while.
a/n: I will probally only be updating this sporadically, but if a lot of people end up liking it I might end up updating regularly, who knows. So what do you guys think? Already cliche? Terrible? Let me know :)
