Hello lovelies~
For my first fanfiction, I decided to do Avatar: The Last Airbender.
In all honesty, I strongly dislike all the pairings for Zuko so I decided to use an OC.
However, I am not creative enough to make my own character for this.

I only own the plot of this fanfiction. Everything else belongs to their original owners.

Special thanks to ShockScythe for making, depending on when he uploads it, the cover and the glorious OC. I just love her!

It was strangely relaxing to be walking to the Masters Ran and Shaw. If I have forgotten the ways of firebending, they would be able to teach me if I am worthy. Just because I am the FireLord doesn't mean I'm automatically worthy of being taught by the last dragons in existence. The journey was quick and I found myself at the base of the stairs. "Let us begin." I turned to look at the Sun Warrior Chief. He passed the Eternal Flame down before looking to me, "I'm sure you remember what to do, right, FireLord Zuko?." I nodded, "I do." He bowed before backing up. I looked down at the fire in my hand before starting up the steps. The wind was stronger higher up. For some reason, there was what appeared to be someone else there. I reached the top, startling the girl already there. She jumped in surprise and stumbled. I held the Eternal Flame to the side before snagging her arm, "Geez, careful!" She straightened but didn't look up at me, "S-sorry." I raised an eyebrow and released her. Her hands were held over her chest, flames flickering in between her fingers, "You're here to see the Masters, too?" I asked her. She looked up and I was startled by her piercing green eyes, "Yes." I tapped my chin, "People from the Fire Nation don't usually wear blue. You kinda look like you're from a Water Tribe." And she did with the blue dress she wore. The girl held her hands out in front of her, the Eternal Flame burning brightly, "I am a firebender. And not many know of the Masters. Who are you?"
"Zuko. And you are?"
"Akira."
The horn was blown and the tunnels shook as the Masters rushed to greet their pupils. I looked at Akira, her half off-white and half black hair blowing in the wind as she looked back at the lair of Ran, "Might as well do it together, right?" I suggested, "We probably need someone to do the Dancing Dragon with." Akira nodded and faced Ran's lair, offering her fire. I did the same with mine for Shaw. I was nervous but that's not a surprise; to be in the presence of the last dragons, something like that is - Ran and Shaw burst into the sky at the same time - unbelievable.

For some reason, the dance seemed to flow easier this time. Was it because I already knew it? I wanted to see how Akira was doing but I didn't to break my concentration. I did the last move and hoped Akira was there to make the arch - She was. We touched fists and made the final arch before turning to face the dragons. I shook slightly in spite of myself, still terrified by the size and fierceness of the Masters. Somehow, Akira was perfectly still. Had she done this before or was she petrified with fear? The dragon in front of me stared me down with its unbreaking gaze. Ran and Shaw gripped the stairs and breathed a jet of fire at us both. I covered my face with my arms, unprepared for the blast of heat and energy. It was so intense, different from last time. A cool hand gently pulled my arm down, "Zuko, look," Akira said. I wanted to rub my eyes as I stared wide eyed at the vortex of colors and light. What could've possibly caused me to forget this majesty? Firebending is much more than fire. How did I forget? My gaze dropped and paused on Akira's pale hand holding my arm before traveling to rest on her face as she stared at the fire, a calm and relieved smile on her face. For some reason, I couldn't look away.
