Drabble Number 4

"The Banished Prince"

The scared earth kingdom prince tightly grasped his sword, looked out to sea, and wished to feel the earth beneath his feet, instead of this metal ship. Even after two years at sea, the teen was still not accustomed to it. He still felt sea-sick and uncomfortable aboard the ship that served as his temporary home. He personally liked being grounded, but he needed to search everywhere for the avatar, and everywhere did include the Southern Water Tribe, which was devoid of any earth at all. He had to be a master of swordsmanship if he hoped to defeat the avatar here, where he couldn't bend due to the terrain.

He saw a nearly blinding light across the horizon. He felt something he hadn't felt in nearly three years, happiness and hope.

"The Avatar," he half-whispered and, half-shouted, "My search, it's come to an end. That light came from an incredibly powerful source, it has to be him!"

"Or it's just celestial lights," his Aunt Demeter replied, dismissively, "We've been down this route before, Prince Nico. I just don't want you to get too excited over nothing. How about we just calm down and play a game of Pai Sho, or have some cereal?"

"I don't want your cereal," he snapped, "I need to capture the avatar. Head a course to the light!"

He saw a large fluffy creature flying off in the horizon and land in what looked like a village.

"Helmsman," he said, "Set course for the village. That coward's days in hiding are over."
