Chapter 10
Azula's field diary (part 2)
Memory 5
Date: two weeks after the last memory.
Place: this damn ship...
We are returning to the fire nation, Zuzu and Mai didn't discuss while we were in Ba Sing Se. Uncle Iroh made me some questions while we were in his tea shop, he wanted to know how were the things in the palace, he was surprised when I mentioned that Zuzu and Mai discussed a lot in the Fire Nation. According to him, Ursa and Ozai were fine until he got the throne. Neither of them told him it... I believed that Zuzu would have asked him for an advise... but not. He told me that he will visit us after of some months to see if their relation will be better or not.
We are arriving to the port, Mai and Zuzu are embracing each to another while Kian is playing with Shiyun. I want to get off of here now so I'm approaching to the ship's rail, and the stupid captain made the ship shake and I fall to the sea...
Things to do: die... (Elimu won't let me do it...)
Memory 6
Date: I guess some hours after I fell...
Place: Infirmary of Palace.
Well, according with what I could hear, when I fell, Kian screamed like a girl, it called Zuzu and Mai's attention and they noticed that I had decided to go to visit the fishes. Zuzu jumped behind me and saved my life, Mai was screaming to everyone in the ship to get a healer until the ship arrived to the port and she saw Elimu was waiting for us with her first aid kit. I don't know what she did to me, but I know that when I woke up, Mai was placing a heavy blanket around me while I was in her arms, I was dying of heat until the earthbender came into the room and tell it to Mai, Then she replaced the heavy by another. I know that the councilors were in the port with Elimu, they were waiting Zuzu to go to some reunion. He didn't want to go, but he should go... And that's the reason of why he isn't here.
Mai and Toph began to talk, I didn't want to hear them talking about their problems, I have the mines, but Uncle said sometimes the solutions coming from the least expected places, so I listen to the conversation.
"That's awesome, but also that scary..." Toph said and I think I should start listening before, I didn't know about what they were talking.
"It was a relief to see her there, she always is close when Azula or Kian have an accident or need her attention." Mai replied and I know they were talking about Elimu.
"She can appear from anywhere, I don't know how she can do it, I can follow her steps in some parts of the palace, and when I think she will come from some part she appears from another."
"As if she could make the impossible possible?" Mai asked and for the first time I'm happy to follow some advise from my uncle. If I can convince Elimu to do what I want without she open her mouth, I could visit Ozai without no one knows it.
Things to do: Extort Elimu.
Memory 7
Date: Six months after the last memory ( I'm young and I have all the time in the world)
Place:Mai's former horse... (You don't need to call your oculist, you read right.)
Uncle Iroh came to visit us like he promised. He had a serious talk with Zuzu and Mai, they were arguing more and more and, they have slept in separate rooms for two months.
Zuzu said he was being hard pressed by the council and Mai told him that he must let her help him, they start discussing in front of uncle.
After some hours Mai get tired and I couldn't hear what she said to Zuzu, but I know that she took me and Kian and Who knows in which moment we were in Mai's former house with Elimu bringing our things. I never expected to see this, Mai was so furious that she couldn't reason correctly, because she ordered a little girl to carry three heavy suitcases. When Elimu could let the suitcases on the floor, she let herself down on the closest chair, breathing with her tongue hanging out of her mouth.
"Can we rest please? I'm tired..." Mai went to the where I think that is the kitchen. She came back some moments later bringing a glass of water and handed it to the tired girl. Elimu grabbed it quickly and began to drink as if she hadn't had anything to drunk for months. "Thanks, my lady."
"Sorry for making you carry the suitcases." She said more quietly and sat on a couch. Kian was grabbing my hand strongly, Mai turned to us and with her best smile of 'I'm sorry for this and I love you' "Why you two don't go to explore the house?"
I yawned and spread my arms to Mai to pick me up. She did it and Kian looked at the house without knowing what do. " You can go to explore always you don't go to outside."
"Kay, mommy." He wasn't convinced, but it was better than do nothing. Mai indicated a servant to take care of Kian, and as soon as they think that I was sleeping, Elimu talked.
"My lady, maybe you consider this as a lack of respect but, I'm worried for you and your children. Are you sure about leaving the palace?"
"I'm not leaving the palace Elimu, I just hope this makes Zuko to reconsider and think better what he is doing."
" A kind of threat?" She asked.
"Something like that, I know this isn't the best way to do this, but this is the only way by which he understands how I feel." I heard her sigh, and then continued. " The things already were difficult, but now these are unbearable. I'm doubting if the reason of it is because his macho pride telling that he doesn't need help or if just ... if just he doesn't trust me."
"Then... How long we are going to be here?"
"Some days, Zuko knows where we are and if he want us back, he'll come." After a moment and before Elimu could ask, she added, the worse sentence that I could hear. "And he won't do it, then we will live with my uncle until we can go to some part of the Earth Kingdom." And I've never wanted so much to see Zuzu from my first birth...
Things to do: Praying to the gods for Zuzu appears.
Memory 8
Date: Some hours almost a day after my last memory.
Place: thanks to Agni, in the Palace.
Zuzu came almost six hours later, he noticed that we weren't in the palace when he got the value to offer an apology to Mai, and saw the note in their room.
The funniest was that Mai didn't let him enter into the house until the dawn, and when she let him, they had a long conversation about what they will do to change the situation. Since now she is going to council meetings with him. The positive side is if they don't discuss more, Kian won't come to my room to "protect" me.
Things to do: still Extort Elimu.
Memory 9
Date: another six months after my last memory... (Dear World I won't offend if you want to give me some chances more often...)
Place: Elimu's room (finally)
Elimu is teaching me sign language while Toph, Mai and Zuzu are in a morning meeting, Kian is , unfortunately for him and luckily for me, walking with Mai's mother and Tom-Tom in I don't care where always this is away from the palace. I'm hoping that she is easily manipulable like Ty Lee, They both are airheads.
Well, reviewing what I know about her... She is Wan Shi Tong's pupil, I can't remember how long she lived in the desert, is stupid, naive and her mission is to keep me alive... If I can make her believe that if she says my secret I will die, then she will keep her mouth closed. I have an idea...
I stand up and grabbed a charcoal with a piece of scroll.
"Little princess, this isn't time to draw but learn." My puppet-to-be says. I don't care what she said, I wrote a question and give it to her. " I didn't remember you could write or if in any past moment I teach you how do it..." I grab her wrist and point to my question. " okay, let me read it... hum...eh? Do you know my aunt's story? Yes, I know it. Well, the really is that I know all stories that the old servants told me. None of these are good, and almost all them were happy when she died and I don't think I should tell it to you..."
"Don't worry I already knew that no-one wanted me." I say.
"Of course not, they refer to your aunt not..." Elimu looks at me surprised. " You talk?" I nod.
" I'm the princess Azula, former daughter of Ozai and Ursa, I rebirth." I respond with pride.
"This mean you are the evil princess without heart Azula?" I nod again and this is the first time that I see a person jump so high as to traverse the middle of the room and finish hanging on the wall. "Mommy!"
"If you don't notice it, I'm too small to make you something."
"You're but your parents aren't" A little smile appears on my face, all happens with her more easily than with Uncle Iroh.
"That's the reason that I need you help." She looks at me puzzled, not understanding. "Your mission is to keep me alive."
"Yes, I can return to my home when you turn fifteen years, You're three so... I must wait twelve."
"And maybe this never could happen...I know that if someone find that I'm the evil princess, then this person will try to kill me."
"Then I'll save you, and I'm sure that my lord and lady will send this person to the boiling rock or something worse, because this person won't have any proof that you are the dead sister of the Fire Lord."
"He'll have one if I talk..." She looks at me between scared and surprised, without understand my intentions. I can't prevent a smile. "If you do what I tell you, then no one will know nothing and you can return to your home."
"Do what?" I can see she is very scared now.
" I need visit Ozai in the prison, and I'm sure that Zuzu never let me do it, so I need your help, Toph can't follow your steps, then you can take me out of the palace without no one knows it. And the second that I need from you is a drug or medicine, something that can make him tells me the truth easy and fast. I won't have much time that day, because I must return before someone notices my absence."
"I know something like that but I might take a while to get it, because to preparing the drug, this requires being buried for some months, And I need this time to find a way to go to his cell without being seen."
"How long do you need?"
"A year, I must plant the plant, The other choice is going to the North Pole to search it, but I can't go too away from you." I would have threatened her but this would have been useless.
"Agree, you have a year but no more. And something more, the day when we go to visit him, you must make him take the drug."
"But..."
"You have a year, find the way to do it!" I yelled with an authoritative tone without giving rise to objections.
"Why me?" She cries while I can't hide my joy.
Things to do: Wait.
The things will be better and more interesting from the next chapter, I'm sorry if it is short but I haven't much time in this month. Much practical work and exams. And I must go to study now. I will try to update the next chapter in the next week or some days later.
For those who wonder ages of each:
Zuko - 24, Mai - 23, Toph - 20, Kian - 5, Shiyun - 4 and Azula - 3.
Elimu is between 14 - 17 and Iroh I have no idea.
Thanks for reading and the reviews n_n
