Chapter 1

I stared at the waves below , watching them swirl and hit the side of the united forces ship. It was a clear day , the sun was shining and the seagulls were chirping and i had yet to meet the general of whom was my superior in the army and yet my fiance. Of course i was not happy of the marriage considering i myself was eighteen and he was twenty three , he was a stiff as commander bumi had told me and of course the fact i had never met him.

But my parents who did not like the idea of their daughter being unwed had sent a letter to the firelord and request to have me married to her son. The firelord or firelady because she was a woman agreed quickly because she had met me before . So here i am on a boat waiting to meet my soon to be husband . We are heading to republic city to have the new avatar , Korra, i believe her name was, bless the marriage then while my fiance returns for duty i will be sent to the fire nation to begin my training for being the fire lady and planning a wedding .

Of course it will be more of a review for me considering i am a fire nation noble my grandmother being ty lee one of the former friends of princess azula turned kyoshi warrior who married a firenation nobleman the moved to a place called england where the united nations is based. I sighed then went back to the little table that had been set up for me. A hot tea was waiting for me and a firebending scroll that my fiance had given to me through messenger. The letter it came with said it belonged to his great uncle the famous dragon of the west hero of ba sing she.

It seemed my suitor had known almost everything about me even my favorite tea while all i knew was that he was the general of the united forces and he was a firebender as well . I sat down in the wicker chair and reached for my tea when i retrieved it i looked at my reflection in the cup atop my head was a read wide brimmed sun hat my hair pulled back in a bun my face was a white as the moon and matched my hair my eyes were a deep ocean blue and my lips were pick . My grandmother before she died had told me that you the moon spirit had blessed me when i was in my mothers womb.

My looks were far different from other fire nation women so i was sought after often. I took a sip of my jasmine green tea and straightened my petticoat and red covering dress ( Didn't want to explain think of madam reds dress from black butler.) I stood up and went back to the side of the ship. I stared down at the water.

" Hes late." I muttered.

" Terribly sorry for that my lady." I heard a smooth and masculine voice say.

I turned around and faced the owner of the voice. To my surprize it was the man in the picture i had been given of my fiance. He wore a united nations uniform with many medals decorating it. His somewhat curly black was slicked back , you could tell he was fire nation by his coloring . The pale skin is actually a symbol of royalty meaning he spent most of his time in a library or a indoor training field. His golden eyes were a tribute from his grandfather firelord zuko.

The way he stood showed strict years of discipline and most likely no fun. Great i'm going to be married to a stick in the mud. Most would think my military training made me strict to but i'm in the part of the army where we supposedly don't exist and have more time to slack off because we deal with more supernatural causes. Even in the academy i pulled pranks while maintaining perfect marks. I did what my mother told me to do when meeting her suitor grin and bear through it especially if it was someone of the royal family.

" General it is a pleasure to meet …." He interrupted me swifty taking my gloved clad and kissing it. i blushed and glared at him.

" Milady , i know for a fact you are not the type of person who cares for titles nor pleased with a difficult position such as the one we are in now. I don't require you to act polite with me in private only in private. My name is Iroh not general as my future wife i prefer if you call me by my true name not a name given by higher ups , understood?" He said flashing a charming smile.

" You cheeky ass." Was all i said.

" Said like a true firenation noble , but i am truly sorry for keeping you waiting i was actually worried you would have jumped out of the boat out of boredom Avatar Korra does it from time to time." He said looking out at the ocean.

I could not help myself i let out a girlish giggle. Iroh turned to me with a raised eyebrow.

" What is so funny , Rabbit?" He said smirking.

" I figured you would have had a stick up your ass the size of an automobile but thank gods you have a sense of humor." I paused then glared daggers at him. " Did you call me RABBIT!"

" Yes i figured id call you that until you decide to call me by my name , Jade." He said patting my cheek.

I put on the most sickly sweet smile i could muster and said:

" How come you seem to know everything about me yet i know nothing about you?"

" That my dear is a secret i will share when we are married until then i like to keep you guessing. You coming milady?" He held his arm out which i took with a smirk.

" This is going to be a interesting marriage milord." I said winking at him.

" Indeed."
