Chapter 2: The Meeting

Kannya tried to tell herself that she was just hallucinating and that her mind was playing a trick on her. She knew she couldn't have slept for six days. She knew that she wasn't pregnant. She knew the moon spirit did not have a child. She knew that no one could become 5 months pregnant in a matter of six days. Yet there she was standing on a fire nation ship six days after she went to bed and five months pregnant. Although she doubted it was the moon spirits daughter but rather from one of the flings she had months ago and that she had just failed to notice before.

"We'll be pulling into port in about five minutes and the Fire Lord has requested your presence immediately in the throne room. "

"Thank you Lee." Kannya refused to look at Lee for she feared that he would notice her endowment,

"There will be transportation for you at the dock. The Fire Lord doesn't want his most valuable asset to have to walk to his palace."

"Thank you Lee that will be all." Kannya just wanted Lee to leave. He had been known to be a major suck up and he would often try to lay with her. He was never successful at it.

As soon as the ship ported Kannya got off and was transported to the palace. The palace was the treasure of the Nation's capital. It loomed over the city with its beautiful white ivory walls, red and gold flags flapping in the wind, and giant windows showing only the partial beauty of what lay inside. Every time Kannya saw this place all she could was marvel at its beauty.

"The Fire Lord is in the throne mistress." A no name guard bowed and escorted Kannya to the throne room. Kannya thought this was pointless since she has been there many times before. The Fire Lord had often called her to meet in the throne room over the past year.

The halls were decorated with various ornate vases, fire nation flags, and marvel pillars. There would be an occasional cherry oak door or an arch way with angels carved into the marvel.

Finally Kannya and the guard reached the door that opened into the throne room. The door itself was made of cherry oak with dragons carved into it and painted gold. The throne room had large marvel pillars that looked as though it reached the sky with the nation's flag trailing all the way down until it was about four feet away from the gray marvel floors. The chair that the Fire Lord usually sat in was gone. All that was there was a stage lit up with fire that only revealed the shape of the Fire Lord.

"Fire Lord Azulon I have escorted Mistress Kannya to the throne room like you asked. Is there anything else I can do for you my liege?" The guard bowed so far to the ground Kannya wondered how he was able to speak without it sounding like a bunch of inaudible sounds.

"That will be all now return to your duties." Fire Lord Azulon's voice boomed with authority but without sounding harsh or overbearing. The guard quickly got up and escorted himself out of the throne room and shut the large doors.

"Kannya did everything go as planned at the southern water tribe?"

"Yes Fire Lord Azulon. Although I am afraid I cannot go back. One of your guards let it slip to my sister of my loyalty to you and this nation. Seeing as my sister is the wife of the chief you can see why I may not be welcomed back with open arms."

"That is alright I have other plans for you my song bird." The Fire Lord rose while at the same time parted the sea of fire around him and dismounted the stage. His face showed his true age with several wrinkles. His hair was snow-white and reached to his mid back. At the top of his head was a bun adorned with a fire emblem that signified that he was the Fire Lord. His dark red robe reached the ground with a gold slash around the waist signifying his royalty. Gold meant you were in the direct blood line of the royal family, black meant that you were of nobility, dark red meant you were a peasant, and bright red meant you were a slave.

"And what would that be my master?" Kannya's voice oozed with seduction as she approached Azulon.

"Well besides keeping me company my song bird," Azulon wrapped his arm around Kannya's waist and yanked her toward his body, "you will be my personal healer."

Kannya bawled apart of Azulon's robe in her hand and pulled his face down so that it was mere inches away from her face. Kannya whispers seductively, "Anything for you, master."

Azulon lays a forceful kiss on his song bird. After a few minutes of passionate kissing Azulon pulls away. "I think I might need to be healed in my bedroom."

"As you wish master." Kannya was breathless from the passionate kissing.

Azulon escorts Kannya to his chambers and tells the guards that Kannya will be doing a healing session on him and to not disturb him unless the palace was being burned to the ground.
