I just had to. Come on. They had to have liked each other at some point.

Enjoy


Pale - Zuko & Azula

This is where she has been sighted. This is where he has been searching for almost three months. The alleys of Omashu look the same. They're all filthy and full of danger. No place for a princess. No place for his twin sister.

He covers his head in shame. The neighborhood is poorly lit and he fights the urge to bend. He is undercover. He can't afford to let people know she has escaped. His father had paid for all his crimes some years ago but she still has much to answer for.

He fears what he will find if the people of the earth kingdom find out she's loose in their city. The scars of the war are still fresh and she is still his flesh. He spots the lone man sitting by the Piacho table. Without hesitation he places his white lotus piece on the center. The man bows slightly and heads to a storage room.

He hands Zuko an unlit touch and touches a panel on the wall. The giant white lotus moves revealing a set of stone steps. Zuko goes into the inky darkness. It leads to an underground cavern. The guards bow respectfully and silently disappear.

She is sitting by the far wall. She is on her side drooling into her clothing. Her legs shackled and her arms bound although she can no longer bend. He enters and closes the door behind him. He kneels and cleans her face with his sleeves. She rests her head on his shoulder, "Zu-zu".

He cringes at the little lost voice coming from his once powerful sibling. He swallows back his tears and wraps his coat around her. He needs to be strong for her, she is his sister.

He will protect her.
