Chapter 2 for you! I would really like to take a moment to thank toonamifan666 for the favourite! Awesomeness! Either or, hope you and everyone else enjoys the chapter!
Fire Lord Zuko (may his reign burn long and bright), was rather wishing he wasn't, point in fact, the current Fire Lord. He was rather reimagining the days of Prince Zuko, son of Princess Ursa (Agni burn those who disrepect her) and Lord Ozai (boo), when he could see his friends with only the pressure of saving the world.
It seemed a lot easier than thinking about having kids.
He rolled onto his back, totally not hiding from the (possibly blood-thirsty) committee attempting to talk him into the wonders of fatherhood. He was only 19... And he was absolutely not hiding. At all.
He was just enjoying the view of the sky. From behind a bush in a small, quiet courtyard. He huffed a breath, before folding his hands on top of his chest and neatly blowing a smoke ring into the air. His uncle had showed him how to do it, as a way to relax him back in his youth. It hadn't worked then, and it honestly didn't do too much now.
He grunted quietly, feeling a light scuttling at his side. Turning his head slightly, he picked out the tiny little turtleduck attempting to climb up his arm. Its neck was craned, peering up at the dissolving ring. When it faded away, the turtleduck started dreep-ing unhappily.
He smiled, puffing out another ring just to watch the little bird panic in happiness. It took very little time for it to scramble up his arm, happily bouncing up to nip at the smoke. He contented himself with steadily blowing rings, letting it play until he found himself a full flock. It was probably a sight to see, the Fire Lord huddled on the ground as about six turtleducks leapt off of him to eat smoke rings.
Struggling to sit up, he grinned boyishly as he cradled them in one arm. The other dug around in his satchel (borrowed with love from the kitchens, contents included), bypassing the jerky and going straight for his bag of fire flakes. The chicklings were getting antsy with no smoke, but the second the flakes hit the ground they were scrambling and falling off of him to eat the spicy chips. The smallest, and if he wasn't mistaken the first, tumbled, landing on its shell as both wings and feet lashed out in a panic. Zuko chuckled, rolling it over carefully and cupping some flakes just for it.
"Are you trying to roast them internally, Zuko?!"
He choked, freezing up at the woman's voice. She circled around and golden eyes met shocked ocean blue.
"K-Katara?!"
Expect the daily updates to happen around the same time each day. Both of my jobs have me all day so I can only update late at night. Sorry! But they are coming out on the correct day!
Thanks again for reading, and please feel free to review! Or flame, as stated before. Entertainment for free!
