Hey, it's time for another chapter. I can't believe that school is almost out. But there's only one problem. After the end of May, my internet is getting disconnected until school starts up again. But that means I'll be able to write lots of stories. I just won't be able to upload them. sniffles Well, here's the next chapter.

Iroh's Confession

"Sir, there are two men here to see you. They say it is very important."

"What do they want?" Zuko asked the guard.

"They're here because they were attacked by a girl with great power."

"THAT'S IT? YOU INTERRUPT MY MEDITATION FOR SOME STUPID GIRL?"

"But sir, they say this girl can bend water and fire." Zuko starred at the guard for a moment then laughed.

"That's impossible. Only the Avatar can bend more than one element."

"Let them in," Iroh said.

"But uncle," Zuko protested. "Why do you want to waste time on a girl when we have the Avatar to look for?"

"This is important. Trust me. Let the men in." The guard bowed and opened the door. A tall masculine man and a skinny man walked in with smiles on their faces. But Zuko just scowled at them.

"These men are from the water tribe. They're not even waterbenders. I bet they're nothing more than common thieves."

"Common thieves that pledge allegiance to the future Fire Lord," the masculine one said.

"Why should we trust you?" Prince Zuko asked.

"Prince Zuko, enough." Iroh stepped forward and started questioning the men. "Exactly what did you see?"

"Well," the skinny one said, "we were walking along, minding our own, when we saw this girl with a waterbender. She went berserk when we asked for some money. She started bending the snow and knocked us out. But before we lost consciousness, she threw fire at us." Iroh started stroking his beard.

"Did this girl have blonde hair and pale skin?"

"Yes, I've never seen such a girl," the skinny man continued.

"She was very pretty," the big man said. "She had such soft, pale skin and pretty green eyes. Her friend put up a good struggle when I held her."

"Shut up, you idiot," the skinny man said as he knocked his friend over the head. "You are going to get us in trouble!"

"You may go," Iroh said. "Thank you for your cooperation." The guards led the men out.

"Wait, what about our reward?" the skinny man yelled.

"Throw them over the ship," Zuko said. "I will not tolerate rats on my vessel." When the door closed, Zuko didn't waste anytime interrogating his uncle. "What is the meaning of this uncle? Since when is there anyone that can bend both water and fire?"

"Pour me some tea and I will tell you." Zuko grabbed two cups and a tea kettle. He decided that he would need to drink some Ginseng Tea in order to calm down. As Iroh took a sip, he began his story. "It all began over fifteen years ago. Captain Shinta traveled to the North Pole to capture it."

"You mean Shinta the traitor?" Zuko asked.

"Yes, but he shouldn't be called a traitor. When a powerful waterbender named Kiyone defeated his troops, his men abandoned him and left him for dead. Kiyone took care of the wounds she caused him and soon fell in love with him. Even though it was unheard of for a firebender and a waterbender to fall in love with each other, they had a baby girl together.

"The village hated the fact that their greatest warrior loved the great Fire Nation Captain. So they ridiculed the poor child. Even though she was the kindest and most beautiful girl in the village, the people disowned her and called her a half-breed.

"Five years after Shinta landed on the North Pole, I was ordered to capture him and bring him back to the Fire Nation. Lord Ozai had charged him with high treason. He didn't deserve it. All he had done was fallen in love with a waterbender. But I guess when you are at war, sleeping with the enemy isn't exactly considered loyal. Kiyone tried to fight for him, but Shinta told her not to. That was when the girl attacked. She shot flames out of her fists and wounded my men. Then, when my firebenders retaliated, she put up a shield using the snow. I was amazed at her power. I decided to let her live. I didn't think she would be a problem. I was wrong.

"After Shinta was tried and executed for high treason, I heard stories of a girl in the North Pole destroying her village with on blow. I thought it was impossible, but it turned out that it was the same village where I arrested Shinta. They called the girl that destroyed the village 'The Angel of Darkness.' I could have never imagined that she had gotten this powerful."

"And that is why you sent for me," a mysterious voice said.

"Where are you? Show yourself!" Zuko yelled. A man in blue and green robes stepped out. His black hair rested on his shoulders and he held his golden staff.

"Has the Angel of Darkness returned, Iroh?" the wizard asked.

"Yes. Hiroki, this is my nephew, Prince Zuko of the Fire Nation. Prince Zuko, this is Hiroki, the great wizard of the Fire Nation."

"I've heard stories of you, Hiroki," Zuko started. "It is said that you can do things with magic."

"I am a mere sorcerer," Hiroki stated. "But as Iroh was saying, this girl did destroy her village. After her mother died, she was forced to leave. She eventually became weak and I was sent to take away her memories. I tried to kill her, but I couldn't. She was so innocent. I left her for dead, but it appears that she was rescued. Prince Zuko, this girl is very dangerous. She could destroy the entire world if she realizes her real powers. We must capture her and kill her."

"Maybe there is a better way," Zuko said. "We could capture her and use her to take over the world. We might even be able to capture the Avatar with her powers."

"Prince Zuko, are you mad?" Iroh yelled. "This girl could destroy the world! We need to stop her at all costs!"

"But if she doesn't have any memories," Zuko continued, "maybe we can convince her that we are the good guys. We can turn her to our side. Is it possible, Hiroki?" Hiroki thought for a moment about this.

"I suppose so. But we must be careful. If we make one wrong move on her, it could be fatal."

"Then it is settled," Zuko said. "Uncle, order some troops to search this island. We will capture this girl at any cost." Iroh bowed to him and left his nephew with the wizard. "Why don't we get to know each other?" Hiroki smiled. He and Zuko sat down and started drinking tea as they went deep into conversation about their plans to take over the world.

Well, that's it for now. I wanted to write one chapter where Zuko finds out everything about Stella. Next chapter, Katara tries to comfort Stella and some long anticipated action.

Reviewers:

Here's my reserved block for my few, yet very loyal and important reviewers. Without you guys, I wouldn't continue this story. Thanks to everyone that has reviewed. I have to answer some questions and comments.

Aiyosha: Thanks. I love compliments. Yes, suspenseful is a word. But you spelt it wrong. That's ok. I wasn't exactly in the National Spelling Bee either. Thanks again.

Gohan is MINE not yours: Yeah, Aang did seem a little harsh. I didn't try to make him sound mean, just cautious. Aang will trust her more later in the story. Sokka might even start to like her (hint, hint).

Thanks guys. Keep reading and reviewing. Cya.
