Lent drabble 5. Lyrics are 'How To Save A Life' by The Fray
Let him know that you know best.
"Zuko, wait!"
The young fireben- no, swordsman now- stopped, but did not turn. He was stiff and cold as Katara came up behind him.
Because after all, you do know best.
"All I was going to say was that I wish that I could have healed you. That we had had those extra minutes in the cave together."
And pray to God he hears you.
Sedna, please, hear me. Help me.
Katara watched Zuko's back, calling out to every spirit she knew that this time, please, oh please, this time that he would listen.
He will do one of two things,
"I'm sorry."
He turned, and Katara saw that the reason for his straight back was to hide the tears that he now let stream freely down his face.
Or he'll admit it's not the same
"It's just not the same. All my life I was brought up believing Fire was the superior element, and berated by my father for not being as good, not being as perfect as my sister. And now…"
And you'll begin to wonder why you came.
Katara began to wonder why she had followed him out of the room, then hardened her resolve and began to speak.
"And now you don't have to be. The moment you lost your bending, Zuko- that very moment, your sister lost. Would she have had enough raw power in her to allow us to still feel our elements? Would she have even given her bending up in the first place? The game is over, Zuko, and you're free to do what you want with your life."
She held out her arms to him, smiling gently.
"Now, come here."
I was listening to this, and the lyrics just fitted in so well with the situation they were in.
I really enjoyed watching her writing this. It's fun!
