A/N: This is obviously a poem, and the title makes it pretty clear as to what the subject matter is.
Two
Zuko's Agni Kai:
A Death of Midnight
Falling through heady mists
Tinted dark with twilight
And sweet with fear
Whose fear?
The woman falling
Perceives an unseen menace
Triggers her emotion.
Rising from the slumber
Entrapping her being
And cloying her senses
Who does she sense?
Before her is the man
She was supposed to call brother
Come to seek vengeance.
Struggling to break haze
Crimson with anger
And veiling her sight
Who does she see?
The woman previously fearless
Struggles with lethargic midnight
She must face her brother now.
Panicking in the dark
Blocking her strength
And breaking her focus
What does she realize?
He she thought weak
Has excelled beyond possibility
He has chosen his time well.
Flailing from her fire
Betraying her this night
And slumbering dully in her heart
Who does she curse?
Herself, for her inattentiveness
Her foolish pride, for clouding her judgment
She is unprepared.
Drowning now in folly
Dark-hued with his passion
And bitter with his purpose
What does she know?
Her brother's determination, his righteousness
Both traits she jealously viewed
Have finally prevailed.
Vanishing into darkness
Streaked with spirit's grist
And vindictively covetous of her mind
Who does she call to?
"Brother mine, you have destroyed me,
I know not how, I was the chosen of us two,
but please, have mercy. . .Agni, have mercy."
THE END
A/N: This one was written rather randomly, but was a good break between the previous one and the next.
