(first story, thanks for at least looking ^^)
Dance
I am from the Fire Nation, living in King Ozai's Palace (where Prince Zuko happens to live). Once I had spoken to him while taking the sheets of his bed for washing. I went in, not expecting him to be standing there peeling off his sweaty training clothes. Thank the fire lord he only got the top part off before I rushed back out, swearing quietly and saying my apologies. When he told me I was permitted to enter, I stepped forward, and opened the wide bedroom doors.
Taking a mental note of his beautiful complexion in the bright sunlight of the afternoon, I said
"Good afternoon, Prince Zuko" while taking the sheets off.
"To you, Servant-"
"-Unmei" I told him.
And with a smile forming at my lips, I left with that scene playing in my head for the rest of the day.
-Before-
My parents got their jobs here before I was born, and being so loyal to the previous Fire Lord, when I was born we were allowed to stay in the palace. But, I would have to start working myself as soon as I was old enough to walk. And I did.
I'm around the age of the prince and his sister, Azula, and when I was younger, I would watch them play in the courtyard near the pond, wishing I could join. Zuko's mother had spotted me before, looking from a higher ledge. Thinking she would tell me to leave, she just smiled at me, knowing that we are worlds apart. And I knew I couldn't play that day, or for the rest of my life.
