Chapter 12: Trial and Execution
The guards came for Jun half and hour before noon. She needed to prepare.
The guards took Lerolas up into the court yard five minutes before noon.
The guards took Sokka and Aang up to see Lerolas at noon.
Lerolas was tied to a pole the exact same Aang had been when captured by Admiral Zhao.
She hung her head, with her hair untied and flowing down in front of her eyes. If anyone saw her eyes, they would see an empty soul, and nothing more.
Legolas stood in the crowd. He sighed.
Fair well to thee, dear cousin of me.
He watched as Fire Lord Ozai came up next to his cousin, and spoke to the crowd.
"Here is a traitor to the Fire Nation!" People glared at Lerolas. She never looked up.
"She has tried to kill the Crown Prince! And she must pay!" People cheered.
"But first, how do you plead, Lerolas the Archer?" Lerolas looked up at Ozai, her eyes were empty and hollow from misery.
"I plee guilty." Ozai nodded to her, then looked to the crowd.
"She pleads guilty! Her life is done!" People cheered. And Jun walked up onto the platform, a smirk on her face. She walked up to Lerolas, and held a knife at her throat.
"Before you go, dear Archer, anything you like to say?" Lerolas nodded weakly.
"Will Zuko live?" She whispered. Ozai nodded. Lerolas gave a feeble smile.
"And, I also want to say sorry. For everything I've ever done. I did not mean to hit Zuko. I knew my mother's drink was full of poison, but I did not destroy the glass which bore the drink. I knew that Men would burn down my forest and kill my brothers, but I did not flee with them. I hope, that one day, I'll be forgiven for all my crimes." Ozai and the crowd jeered.
"You cannot be forgiven, you are a traitor." Lerolas nodded, and waited for the knife to slice her throat, and end her life.
"Fair thee will, Lerolas the Archer." Jun hissed.
Sokka and Aang looked dumfound. They turned their heads away when the knife did its work. Sokka looked away with tears. He had loved her.
Sokka looked up at his sister.
She would pay. For everything.
Legolas walked away before the deed that would do in his cousin was done.
Won't be the same without her.
Before the knife slit her throat, there were4 few words echoing through Lerolas's mind.
Zuko broke his promise.
Just as the knife slit her throat, 3 hollow words went through Lerolas' mind.
I'm a traitor.
