"Hollow"

1.) having a depression or concavity


Forgiving another human being should have struck her as something necessary, something vital to evade the extinction of the human race. If we all hold onto our grudges, suffocating ourselves with them, everybody would be at the other's throats.

Normally she was a very peaceful individual, a person devoted to the preservation of harmony, of serenity.

But those words, serenity, harmony, peace, are just that at the end of the day: words. Hollow, empty characters with nothing to withhold the promise of such a thing. It was pointless to believe in something that you couldn't see; something you hadn't seen in all your life. Peace, she could have snorted.

When you grew up surrounded by the knowledge that any possible day, any day out of the calendar, you could be attacked by the enemy, you grew accustomed to carefully studying those around you. When you witness someone that you love on the brink of death, one wrong move and she's a goner, you begin to understand that there is no such thing as forgiveness and peace and prosperity in the entire world. Only hatred and greed and lustful, power-hungry tyrants.

She could have forgiven him a long time ago, could have told him that she was proud he had made the transformation to the "protectors of peace" but then she would be lying. She wasn't particularly happy that "Mr. Evil, Honor Seeking, Offspring of Lustful, Power- Hungry Tyrant" joined their little group.

She could tell her friends about her opinion, about her thoughts on the matter of the exiled prince. She could scream a million obscenities at him, throw accusations left and right. She could yell at her friends about their own stupidity, their lack of back- bone. But then, at the end of the day, all those things are merely words. Hollow, empty, fading words… nothing to withhold a promise, not even to allow the commencement of a promise.

****I kinda liked this one for a change. These drabbles that really dig inside Zuko and Katara's heads are my favorites at this moment.

So anyway, how was this one? I know this one is a little confusing, so if anybody has any question feel free to ask; I'll explain as best I can! :D
