A/N: So, I finally came around to start posting this shiz. It's going to be a drabble-like one shot series, and I hope the type of writing doesn't confuse anyone XD
It's something I used to do a lot in the past and then gradually abandoned for a while. But enough of that.
When I started getting into Avatar, I promised myself I wouldn't write about the Next Generation. I always end up doing that, it seems.
Well, I miserably failed, as you can see. In my defense, it's all Korra's fault.
This will become so AU after ATLOK airs, but I just can't help myself. You get what comes of it. I have a couple chapters ready, so the updates should be fairly close to each other, in the beginning. Can't say about the future, though.
We start with Maiko spawn. What a shocker.
Disclaimer: No, I don't own Avatar. Thanks for reminding me my miserable state.
You raise me up,
So I can stand on mountains
You raise me up,
To walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up
To more than I can be
The Evil Eye.
I'm not evil.
Ami's bright eyes pierce through the back of the Earth Kingdom princess. Her thin eyebrows are frowning, her mouth half-open, in a mute scream of surprise.
Her childish mind cannot grasp the thought, like her little hands are clutching the deep red fabric of her dress.
Am I evil?
Tears of frustration pool in her golden eyes, sparkling, but never streaming down. She bites her lower lip and scowls at the retreating figure dressed in pretty green silk.
She's so angry she thinks about how sweet it would be to light that cute little dress on fire. She'd only need to flick a wrist.
You're not evil.
A warm hand is on her shoulder before she can as much as rise her arm. She looks up and meets a serious gaze, two amber eyes on a pale, noble face. Roku, her brother, is observing the other girl with bored disdain. He looks at Ami and there's a small smile playing at the corner of his lips; the knowing, sarcastic smile Roku wears so often.
We're not evil.
Roku can see the anger evaporating from his sister's eyes. She just scoffs a little, sparing her rival one last glare, before turning around and smiling at her brother.
The sun shines upon them, as they retreat into the Palace, leaving the Earth Kingdom girl to her lowly games. What does she know anyway? Nothing.
Roku does. He knows why he was named after no ancient Firelord, and yet indeed after one of his ancestors. He carries his name and the name of his family with pride.
He knows.
I'm not evil.
"I won't play with you. You're Fire Nation. Nana says all Fire Nation is evil."
A/N cont'd: I bet you can guess where Roku's name comes from, don't you?
Ami's full name is Amira, which means 'princess'. I found it fitting... Plus I bet you can see the extremely lame pun left there in her nickname. If you don't: it's best that way.
Reviews are very much appreciated. I don't bite, promise ;)
Song is "You raise me up" by Celtic Woman... And if you don't tearbend a little while listening to it, I don't know how you do it ;_;
