Chapter Fourteen: Fire Lord Ozai
Disclaimer: I don't own Avatar. I do own Yoshiro and even though he's dead, I do own General Xokku. NO STEALING!
"There's the daughter of General Xokku!" Zhao said.
"Great. I have my own mob," Yoshiro said.
"You shouldn't have done that," Zuko said.
"I was mad. You would have done it too, if you could earthbend," Yoshiro said, quietly.
Zhao came over to the two and ordered two Fire Nation soldiers to cuff them.
"Ouch! That's my hand! I'm still using that!" Yoshiro yelled.
"I don't think they care," Zuko whispered.
"You two are coming with me," Zhao said.
"I despise you," Yoshiro spat on Zhao's feet.
Zhao ignored what Yoshiro did, but she knew he was thinking about killing her.
"You two are going to the Fire Lord," Zhao said.
They walked to the Kyushu Fire Temple, which was, in fact, the tallest building there.
"He couldn't have built a smaller temple? I am NOT walking up stairs!" Yoshiro blurted out. It caught the attention of Zuko.
"You better not say anything rude to the Fire Lord. Or that'll be the last thing you do," Zuko said.
"How would YOU know?" Yoshiro said.
Zuko said nothing.
"Why were you banished?" Yoshiro said, randomly.
"….."
Zuko said nothing, again.
"You…don't like to talk about it, do you?" Yoshiro said, in a sad voice.
What's his problem? Being banished isn't that bad. Well, now that I think about it, yes it is. And his scar…could he have been in a…no! An Agni Kai? His age? I don't think so!
Yoshiro thought to herself. It was the only thing to think about that didn't have to do with her father. It kept her walking the millions of stairs. She could have collapsed.
"Are we there yet? I can't take it anymore! I hate stairs!" Yoshiro yelled.
"We aren't there yet," Zhao said.
I'm going to die!
The only thing lighting the dark temple were the torches, and even the torches didn't help.
Yoshiro was trying to burn her cuffs. It got extremely hot, but it didn't work.
"Those are fire resistant handcuffs. You can burn them all you like, but they won't melt," Zhao said, proudly.
"Too bad they aren't on you," Zuko said to himself.
Yoshiro laughed.
"We're here," Zhao opened a huge door.
"About time…" Yoshiro looked into the room. Flames were decorated everywhere on the walls, and there was Fire Lord Ozai, surrounded by flames.
"Fire Lord Ozai, I brought you your son and the dual bender."
The flames went down about a foot, and there was a faint outline of the Fire Lord.
He's scary! Please, I don't want to die!
Yoshiro thought. She felt sweat slide down her face. She wanted to wipe it off, but seeing as her hands were cuffed, she couldn't.
"You are dismissed," The Fire Lord dismissed Zhao and turned his attention to Yoshiro.
"You are the daughter of General Xokku, are you not?" Fire Lord Ozai came up to Yoshiro.
"Yes, sir."
He walked back and then asked,
"You do realize, you're supposed to be dead?" The Fire Lord emphasized the word 'dead'.
Yoshiro nodded and said,
"Yes, sir."
Yoshiro bit her lower lip and tried to look brave, but she knew she was trembling. She looked to her left, and she saw Zuko, his cuffed hands trembling a bit.
That's sad. He's afraid of his own father, even if he doesn't admit it. I would be too, if I had been banished.
S.E.: I wonder what Fire Lord Ozai looks like
Chi: Why?
S.E.: So I can...uhhh...I dunno. Cuz I'm curious
Natasha: Curiosity killed S.E.
Chi: Don't you mean the cat?
Natasha: That's animal violence! Saying that curiousity kills the cat, as if! I'm calling the government
S.E.: Good luck trying (sweat drop)
