This was my first, but I've promised myself a fanfict up by the end of 2009, no matter its quality. This is a pure description fic, of my favourite scene in Sozin's Comet Part 3. You may find it cliched filled, fine, I welcome constructive criticism.
Note: Her eyes gleam green in the show, because blue light on yellow objects show up as green. (According to paints) But according to the colours of light that I learnt in school, yellow is a mixture of green and red, so blue light on yellow will show the yellow as black. Anyways, I present:
Azure flames give the impression of coolness and coldness but a blacksmith once told you it's actually hotter, and therefore more painful than normal orange flames.
The surrounding "calm" just serves to increase your panic as you squirm beneath the steady look of the dark figure behind the ice-blue flames, a figure that could reach beyond that curtain any minute, to end your life without anyone caring or stopping her.
And the fact that those azure flames don't give off enough light to stop you from instinctively averting your eyes from the glare, makes you want to glance up to gauge her expression.
But you dare not. As the silence drags, you risk a peek. In that fleeting glance, in the dim light of the flames, you see the perfect features of your Fire Lord, perfectly silhouetted by her blue flames.
With her hair down, dressed in a casual robe, you know she is one of the most beautiful women you have and will ever see. But appearances deceive, and you both know it. And you see it in that flash of gold in her eyes, the only true flame you see in this room. Yet in those green flashes you also see that the flame is disturbed, unsettled somehow. Her beauty is so perfect, almost inhuman, and from her eyes, you know that she is no longer human as well. She is a devious, calculating and manipulative mind teetering on the edge.
Either way, she will fall eventually.
But not today. Today she will teeter and you hope it will be on the side of reason and logic, for it is clear she has no mercy to spare, if she ever did.
She parts her lips. "Bye!"
"Please send in the next group on your way out."
Right, I'm combining my first fic with "Red lightning" partly because I want more opinions on this and red lightning gets more hits. (-.-") I'm intending to write a fic that'll involve Zuko against Azula, red lightning against azure flames and blue lightning. This will, if ever, start to be written only at the end of the year, because my leaving school exams are ridiculously important right now.
Please do review for "Azure flames"- it's my first and I do want to improve on it.
