Chapter 7: Your Assignment
Lerolas looked at her room. It appeared as if it had been made just for her. It was brown, gray, and green. Such a nice change of scenery. Plus, the giant bay windows were looking over the forest. Lerolas loved it.
"I hope to keep this room when I marry Zuko." Lerolas sighed. But she didn't know she was being watched.
Legolas stood at the edge of the forest, looking up at his cousin. He shut his eyes, turned on his heel, and entered the wood. He couldn't bear to break her heart.
If that Prince said what I think he did, Lerolas won't be marrying anybody.
A lone tear slid down Legolas' cheek.
Lerolas was hissing in disapproval at her wardrobe when a maid came in.
"Fire Lord Ozai wishes to speak with you, miss." Lerolas grinned and eagerly followed.
Although she wasn't keen on a life of archery, Lerolas would enjoy an occasional assignment, just to keep her from dying of boredom.
Lerolas entered the Throne Room, walked into the middle of it, and fell to a knee. She kept her head bowed when she spoke.
"What is it that you require of me, my Lord?" Ozai boomed from behind his wall of flame.
"I have heard of a spy in the city. Along with one other that has sworn to me, you will find this spy, and get rid of them." Lerolas stood up, and bowed.
"Here is your partner." And Ozai waved a hand toward a girl in the corner. She wore a black dress, long black boots, held a dagger, and had red tattoos on her shoulders. It all went well with her long, black hair.
"Lerolas the Archer, your partner for this mission, is Jun the Bounty Hunter." Ozai said. Lerolas turned to her partner, and bowed. Jun kept a straight face.
"Jun the Bounty Hunter, your partner for this mission, is Lerolas the Archer." Jun bowed, then gave Lerolas a glare.
Lerolas ignored all the glares she was given as she walked in the streets of Souzen. Jun looked down at her.
"How do you stand these glares all these civilians? If they looked at me in such a way, they'd all be dead." Lerolas looked up.
"If I killed someone I wasn't suppose to, I'd make enemies. Which would make my next, or current, mission harder." Jun shrugged.
"Makes sense, but I like to kill people, to hear their screams…" Jun continued muttering like this until Lerolas' keen eyes spotted a face in the crowd.
"Isn't that who we're looking for?" Lerolas pointed to their face. Jun peered out, over the crowd.
"Yes, good job. How'd you see him?" Lerolas shrugged.
"I just have good eyes." Jun glared at her, but turned her attention to the purp.
Something's not right about her. No matter, I'll delve into that later.
Before Lerolas could move, Jun ran forward, and caught the purp by the scruff of the neck.
Lerolas got a good look at him. He wore the traditional red, but he had brown hair, and green eyes. He did not have all the traits of Fire Nation.
"Who are you?" Jun hissed.
"I, have the right to leave. For I have done nothing." Lerolas shook her head.
"He lies." She hissed, Jun looked at her, nodded, then turned her attention back to the boy in her arms.
"I don't believe you." Jun sneered. The boy hissed. Lerolas walked up to him, nocked an arrow in her bow, then held it to the boy's throat.
"Shoot." Was all Jun said. While Lerolas didn't want to kill him, she released the arrow…
Suddenly, a boulder came out of the ground, knocking the arrow away. The boy ran into the crowd. Jun tore after him. Lerolas remained on the ground, trying to gather her bearings.
When Lerolas finally got her bearings, she ran after Jun. Her keen eyes found them. When she got to the scene, all she heard was a woman scream.
"HARU!" Lerolas looked down, and the purp, lay dead. His throat slit. Lerolas looked at Jun. Her knife blade was red.
Jun walked away. Lerolas followed.
"Our job is done." She said simply. Then glared at Lerolas.
"No thanks to you." Lerolas sneered.
Lerolas sighed as she awaited her dress. There was a huge ball being held for the return of Prince Zuko, and she had to come. But more importantly, come in a dress.
A maid came in, holding a white gown. Lerolas gasped. Only Galadriel would wear such a gown!
"Here you are, miss." And the maid shoved the gown into Lerolas' arms. Then walked out. Lerolas sighed, walked behind a changing curtain, and put on the white gown.
"And finally, Miss Lerolas the Archer!" Lerolas walked into the huge ball room while people all around cheered. She walked forward, and wrapped her arm around Zuko's, who was waiting in a beautiful robe that looked just like his father's.
"You look beautiful." Zuko whispered in her ear. Lerolas smiled up at him with a dreamy smile.
"And you look handsome." Lerolas and Zuko took a seat next to Ozai. Ozai stood and spoke to the crowd.
"For one hundred years, our grand Nation has waged a war," people cheered.
"But now, Souzen's Comet returns, to grant us it's power!" People cheered once more.
"And, for one hundred years, one thing has stood in our way. THE AVATAR!" People booed.
"And tonight, I am glad to say, he is now my prisoner!" People cheered.
"Thanks to my son and your Prince, Prince Zuko!" People cheered even louder.
"And today, thanks to two allies, another spy has been eliminated!" People raised their cups.
"Thank you, Jun the Bounty Hunter," Jun rose and people cheered.
"And thank you very much, Lerolas the Archer." Lerolas stood up. No one cheered. Only gaped at the Elven girl in white.
The meal was eaten with much talking. But Lerolas remained silent. But Zuko knew how to make her talk.
"So when will be our wedding day?" Lerolas smirked.
"Oh, I don't know, next week?" Zuko also smirked.
"Ok." Lerolas looked up at him with a gaping mouth.
"ATTENTION!" Zuko boomed. Everyone, even Ozai, looked up.
"One week from today, I will be wedded!" People, much to Lerolas' surprise, cheered.
They must be happy that Zuko's getting married to such a warrior.After dinner, the music started. Zuko turned to his fiancée.
"Would you like to dance?" Lerolas looked up.
"I would love to." A slow song started, and Zuko led Lerolas out.
Lerolas leaned into Zuko, and Zuko grinned.
"Enjoying dancing with a Prince?" Lerolas sighed and nodded into his chest. Zuko kissed the top of her head.
The music changed tempo and got faster. Lerolas had a hard time keeping up, but she did it. Zuko put her in a dip, and her head touched the floor, while her hair made a dark red pool, almost like blood, on the floor.
People cheered, and one person did a very loud whistle.
Finally, Lerolas was tired and out of breath. When Ozai came up on stage.
"I would like Miss Lerolas to bless us with a song." Lerolas walked up, and sang her lullaby.
"I love it when you sing that." Zuko said when Lerolas came back down.
"Yah, well I ain't singing you to sleep." Zuko smirked.
"I'm going to bed." Zuko gave Lerolas a quick kiss.
"Good night, my Elf." Lerolas sighed.
"Good night, my Prince." She returned the kiss, went up to her room, and fell asleep. So she never saw when the prisoners were brought up, and when woman began to ask Zuko for a dance. And one woman in particular…
That night, Lerolas dreamed of her wedding.
Hehe. Sumthing'c coming, but I won't tell.
INSANITY AT ITS FINEST
LONG LIVE HIPPIES!
