The Navy was defeated at the North Pole, and it has been a shock at the palace. The fool Zhao is dead, Uncle openly betrayed us, and Zuko is alive- he too, a traitor.
And so my task is at hand. I am unsurprised, although pleased nevertheless, that my guess was correct- Father wished me to capture the Avatar. However, due to these new developments, I have two more bounties- Uncle and Zuko.
I do not expect it to be difficult- Father made the wise decision not to formally announce my traitorous relatives' new status, and the wanted posters have not been printed. Their whereabouts are as of yet unknown, as well as the Avatar's- he may still remain at the North Pole, which is disadvantageous for us.
I'll need an elite team of fighters- better than what Father can give me, considering my crew is most certainly going to be an overlarge amount of blithering idiots. I wouldn't consider elite soldiers- their uniform is terribly obvious and they aren't much use. I do not doubt that Zuko made that mistake.
I believe I will choose Ty Lee and Mai, actually. They have their flaws, but they do have unique abilities that I unfortunately do not possess. I have no doubt that their skills are better than I've ever seen them- Ty Lee obviously works full time at the circus, doing acrobatics, and Mai is so bored out of her mind in the Earth Kingdom she could probably shoot a dragon-moth from fifteen miles away without a problem. I can't help but laugh picturing Mai stuck in that hellhole.
However, I may not need them for Zuko and Uncle. My brother is without a doubt still hopelessly gullible- and I'm sure he'd much rather listen to me talk about his "honor" and the rest of his pathetic fantasies than to Uncle's traitorous motives. Of course, when I convince Zuko that I'm on his side, Uncle will be taken prisoner, as well as Zuko once we head for home again. Then on to the Avatar. I'll give him some time to leave the north pole.
And so we part, book. I am on to better things. I will prove my worth to my country, my father, and myself. I will succeed- I always do, don't I?
A/N: Well, this fic is complete! And I'm sorry for not updating! That's my major pet peeve about fanfiction, and yet I do it! Ergh. So if I do make a sequel, or actually start writing that Harry Potter fanfic I've been planning, I'll try to make myself update often!! Then again, maybe I should just focus on not stopping in the middle of a chapter and going to get various edible distractions….wow. I didn't realize I had this much food at my desk…. Ookay then. I should stop rambling. Well, hope you enjoyed the fic, and now I'm off to write another! (Although on second thought, I should probably start my summer reading. Yeah, whatever…. Back to fanfiction….)
