I do not own Avatar:The Last Airbender
Miya's POV
It has been almost a year since I had met Iroh and Prince Zuko. I've been working with Iroh almost all of my days. I help him teach Zuko/keep him from not burning everyone alive. Basically, I am Iroh's assistant but he just says that I'm his 'little helper'. I think that Iroh is crazy for going along with the hot-headed prince but I also give him props for staying loyal. Right now I'm just sitting in my cabin reading a book that one of the crew members had given me. Iroh had given me the day off so I decided a little 'me time' was the perfect answer.
So, here I am reading this book on all four elements while I listen to Zuko yelling at his Uncle to teach him the advanced firebending moves. I rolled my eyes, Zuko was always doing stuff like this demanding everything and expecting to get it immediately, just like a Prince. I pause for a moment. I don't hear any yelling or firebending. I hear footsteps and someone yelling. I run up to the deck because who knows what died or got thrown overboard.
I went up to the deck just to see Zuko running back to his cabin and Iroh eating his lunch. I walked over to Iroh.
"General Iroh, what was all that commotion earlier?" Iroh finished eating his duck and said, "There was this bright light in the sky and I felt a great power coming to the world. It was no ordinary light at all. I believe that it was the Avatar."
"The Avatar?" I whispered. "I thought the Avatar disappeared 100 years ago?" I was so confused. I had grown up learning that the Avatar had disappeared and that he was never coming back.
"Apparently either this light is a new power or the Avatar has returned." I asped. This was a whole new level of weirdness. The Avatar was back and we were going ot find him.
"Well I guess I will prepare for the worst then. Who knows how oowerful the Avatar is now. He has had 100 years to prepare." I started to walk towards my cabin when Iroh called out to me.
"Watch over my nephew, please. You know how he can be." He looked so concerned and worried that I nodded and said, "Anytime General. I was saved by the both of you and now I owe you both my life. I will protect him even if it means dying"
It was only a whisper but I heard it on the wind Iroh whispered, "Don't die yet you mean to much to us all." It may have been a small bit of affection but I warmed my heart so much.
I turned around and looked at the ground and whispered back, "Thank you, General Iroh." I said it in a small voice but I know he heard because he responded.
"Anytime Miya, and how many times have I told you to call me Iroh?" He had that trademark smile on his face and his laugh bellowed around the ship.
"Apparently not enough." I walked towards the door to the crew quarters. Before I left I turned around and said, "General Iroh." I heard his laugh and mine mingled with his as I went back to my room for a nap before the new adventure began in the morning.
