Life just wasn't fair. He had it all once. Riches, fame and power were all his. But one stupid decision and everything was lost. Now he was stuck following three kids around the world unable to return to his homeland.
The worst part of this whole situation was that the woman, no the girl, he loved never seemed to look past his appearance. She never seemed to notice the devotion in his eyes or how he always tried to keep her safe in his own way.
All this brooding was pointless though and he knew it. He had always been a patient man and this was no exception. He would continue to follow his love, her brother and the monk. She would see who he really was and the depth of his emotions. And then his curse would be lifted. Someday they would discover the truth behind his mask.
Shaking himself out of his thoughts Momo hopped onto Katara's shoulder and chirped into her ear. He had startled her but she just smiled and stroked his fur. Somewhere inside of him he fell just a little bit more in love.
