Hey everyone! So first thing first… I apologize because I didn't update as fast as I said. My grades dropped so I had to work a bit harder to come back on the road! The next few weeks I have a lot of big tests I have to do so I hope I can post another chapter soon. After that my summer vacation will finally be here! I can update more in that time ;)
Katara's P.O.V.
'Miss? We're almost in the capital of the Fire nation, Kotzut. I thought that I should inform you young lady.' Said the old, but sweet captain of the ship I travelled on.
'Thank you Sir, that's very considerate of you. Thank you for taking me with you.'
'No problem young lady Maira, it was our pleasure, you were a true delight to us.' The captain used the name I told him. I couldn't walk around in the Fire nation in my blue Water tribe clothes and Water tribe name when they wan't to kill us all, could I?
So the first thing I did when I had ran away of to the mission was looking for clothes. I stole a fitting red croptop, brown pants so I could move in them and hide my weapons, above the pants I was wearing a red flowing skirt, so I would look innocent and sweet, I was also wearing brown shoes which looked very feminine but they actually we're very good for running. To top it all of I did my hair in a more Fire nation way, that meant that I didn't wear my loopies anymore. I wasn't very proud, I mean I stole it but I needed it. I would repay everything if I ever came back.
Another point, *if* I ever came back. I went on a mission to protect my village and people, because I was actually the princess and a princess had a duty to her people. It didn't make everything easier though. I was one week underway ( I couldn't use my waterbending, if they caught you your sentence was dead!) and I already missed Sokka, dad and Grandma! But I didn't train for nothing and I will make them proud to finish my mission successfully: Join the elite of the young king of the throne and kill him and the royal family so we can bring peace and justice.
(A/N We're going over to 3th person and mixed 1st person so I hope it won't be confusing and all ;))
When the crew docked the ship I went off the ship after thanking the captain. The moment I stepped off I got rushed into the big crowd. There were so many people and almost everyone had the finest clothes, every building was big and showed power and wealth. There were also the poor kids who got kicked or just simply ignored.
Today would be the audition day as everyone called it. Because the king always wanted a bigger army there would be one day in the month to audition for a place in the army; the firebenders, the masters of the swords etc. and finally the most honorable thing to get was the elite, only the best could get in.
I walked through the city looking for the subscribe place.
"Naian we have to hurry!, the grounds aren't far but the longer we wait the longer the row will be!." 'O, Hush Luimi! It will be okay!' Naian was a very handsome and fit boy you could see that he trained a lot, Luimi was lean and well built. Judging there appearance the Naian kid would be very good in combat and Luimi would be a very good spy and be very fast. Since I still had no Idea how I could came to the grounds I decided to ask.
"Excuse me Sirs, but do you know how I come to the subscribe grounds?"
"Aren't you a bit too young for a lady to join the forces? Aren't you too close for luxe stuff? "That was Naian, obviously very prejudiced. Woman were aloud in the army but we're always the weak one's.
'O shut it Naian, hello young lady, we're heading for the grounds ourselves we would be honored if you could join us walking to it.' *she is beautiful!* Luimi thought.
Said Luimi, who was quite the gentleman.
"That's very nice of you guys!" I smiled to them. Only Luimi smiled back, Naian was just groaning. We started walking to the grounds.
'So guys, which section are you trying to join?' It was too quiet so I thought that I should make a little bit of conversation.
"We're joining the elite of course! Can't you even see that?" Naian was being his sulking self (well for the few minutes I know him he was just like this so…)
'Don't be bothered by him, but he said it we're joining the elite if we can go through the tests. And you?' Luimi was being much and much sweeter than his I guess twin brother since they both had brown blond hair, hazel eyes and other features.
"I'm not bothered, but I think I go to try to join the elite as well." Buy this time we reached theline ups for the different forces and everyone turned their heads when I said this.
"ARE YOU SERIOUS, you have to be nutters, no woman went through the tests of the elite, I bet you will fail to!" Said a very arrogant boy in the elite line, he had black hair green eyes and had a lot of muscles.
"Well, I'm trying and I plan to get in!" What did that guy think? I was probably much better than him because I trained since I was four, obviously I couldn't be too good otherwise they would suspect me.
"We'll see about that hun." He said smirking, Oh the nerve of that boy!
"Ignore him he isn't worth it!' Luimi whispered while smiling at me, I smiled back. He was such a sweet boy. We talked a bit about everything except the tests.
While waiting in the line everyone was still watching me while waiting for their turn. After five minutes they closed the lines, no one could try if they came now. I was the last in the elite line and one for one the line became shorter. Finally only Naian, Luimi and I were standing in the line.
"NEXT!" said the man behind the wooden desk. Naian stepped forwards. "Name, age?" "Naian Roque, seventeen." "Go through the door and begin your tests." Naian just nodded and went through the door. Luimi and I became silent, just waiting. After ten minutes the man talked again.
"NEXT!" Luimi stepped forwards. "Name, age?" "Luimi Roque, seventeen." "Go through the door and begin your tests." The man didn't changed his words, it was a routine, and for me my observation was confirmed they were twins. Naian just nodded, not out of arrogance but off nerves and went through the door, just like Naian. I had to wait for ten more minutes when the man talked again.
"LAST ONE!" So far for respect I guess, I stepped forwards but before he could say name and age I answered him. "Maira Fireblossom, sixteen" The man was stunned for a while before he wrote it down. "You're young, lady, you're lucky that the subscribe line is equal for man and women for the elite." I smiled at him, "I know, I'm really honored for the chance I get here." The man smiled back at me, "You remind me of my daughter, I pray for you to Agni, good luck the tests are through that door on your right." "Thank you Sir." And I went for the door.
If I got more time I wil post another chapter this evening or tomorrow, if I don't then I hope thursday or next week. Love - Marsjjxx
