This story was initially a short story I upload for testing because I was new to this site. It attracted quite some attention so I decided to do more :)
"This meal is satisfactory." Said Azula
"I'm glad you like it!" Klara said cheerfully.
Azula had a notion to express gratitude, but she somehow felt uneasy because she can't even remember the last time she said 'thank you'
"Thank… you…" She awkwardly said. It was as if she was pronouncing complicated word she never learned before.
"Please there is no need, nothing I've done so far can compare to you saving my life!"
Azula was struck with yet another foreign feeling. Ty-Lee was the only person that was this friendly to her but her friendly approach was boisterous and full of energy whereas this gentle genuine friendliness was rather strange. She almost felt there were hidden intentions but it was ridiculous thinking that she was just a plebeian in a tiny village.
"I can't help but notice you are so well-mannered yet so strong, scaring away that tiger with a single punch. Where are you from?"
In normal circumstances Azula was proud to announce her status as princess of the fire nation but she somehow no longer had that desire. She was trying to define herself again.
"I come from a powerful wealthy family. My father was a fire bending master and taught me everything he knew."
"Wow! What brings a person like you to this rural area?"
Azula show no emotion, she was entwined in a deep introspection. She had no answer to that question which leads to herself asking more questions about her life. Who am I? What am I supposed to do? What am I doing here? All these questions keep plundering in her heard. Klara noticed her facial expression and misinterpreted it as reluctance to answer.
"It's okay Azula, you don't have to say anything if you do not want to."
Azula's attention about herself was broken, she faced Klara with a slightly surprised face. Klara smiled as she said:
"Sometimes we suddenly face a cascade of challenges in life, things happen so fast we don't have the strength to conquer them all. Do not look back on what you have lost but look forward to what you are about to gain."
Azula paused for a moment to digest those words. She then stood up and bowed politely.
"Thank you for your hospitality Klara but I really have to go. Your words have spoken to me and I now realize that I must find my destination and not wonder what it may be."
Klara stood up and bowed.
"I understand Azula, if you ever feel like it you can visit me anytime."
"That is a generous offer, I would love to but don't know if I will ever have the chance."
Azula said her good byes and left in haste to discover what lies ahead.
I actually do not intend to make an ending, I would just like to write short stories about Azula's little adventures lol
