After Aang had left,
Zuko and Iroh were once again by themselves.
"Uncle" Iroh
turned to his nephew who was still looking over the ocean, an eerie
look in his eyes. "I can't just sit here and wait" gold eyes
met hazel "It's just not me" Iroh sighed and rested his hand on
his nephews shoulder.
"Zuko, there is nothing you can do for
her at the moment. Our best chance is to wait at least till after the
four nation meeting"
"But uncle, I can't just sit here. What
if I-"
"Don't be foolish Zuko, we don't know where she is
or if Azula has her. I think that after the meeting we will have a
better coarse of action that can be taken" Zuko sighed and hung his
head in defeat.
"Fine
uncle"
*************************************************************
Katara woke to her cell door being opened. Thinking it was Azula she pretended she was still sleeping. When she heard the clang of metal on stone she couldn't help but peek her eyes open slightly. It wasn't Azula but a soldier who had brought her, her food. The man from what she could see was quite tall, though his amour and faceplate refrained her from seeing more. The soldier looked up at her, and Katara quickly closed her eyes again. Her heart beat faster at the thought that he had seen her. She sighed slightly in relief as she heard the screech of the metal door, as the soldier exited the cell. Katara smirked already formulating a plan in her head. If someone didn't come for her soon, she may still have a way out.
Aang
sat at the head of the table next to Zuko, who was on his Fire lord
throne. The other nation's representatives and advisors sat around
the long mahogany table which stretched out across the war room. Air
was of course, was absent. Aang stood up his face serious.
"Good
morning" there were a few muttered responses from the now silent
table. "We have called you today to discuss the certain problems of
which are occurring. We suspect that Azula is back to her acts once
again" another murmur went through the room at the mention of
Azula, she was hard to forget. Zuko just sat there, staring at
nothing in particular as Aang continued what they had discussed
earlier that day. He knew he should have been listening but he
couldn't help his thoughts from straying.
"Zuko?" Zuko
looked up to see the whole room watching him. He looked over and saw
the Aang looking at him in concern.
"Yes?" he replied, trying
to block his thoughts of the maiden.
"Would you like to say or
ask anything from the other nations" the whole room was silent as
they waited for the fire lord's response.
"I'm sorry. I
cant think of anything at the moment. Uncle?" all eyes turned to
Iroh.
"Well It has just come to my attention that while we were
fighting I overheard a rebel yell something about a prophecy. Is this
relevant to anyone?" The crowd murmured amongst
themselves.
"There has been more talk about it" the room all
looked at the speaker. It was an earth kingdom soldier "there has
been more talk about the prophecy slash legend in recent times" a
few of the earth kingdom soldiers along with some water tribe nodded
in agreement.
"What prophecy?" Zuko was on his feet, his eyes
set on the soldier in hope.
Ok but sorry everyone. I'm not entirely sure when I can get up more chapters. I'm kinda stuck. I will try hard to get them up ASAP though :D
