A Scattered Dream
Prompt # 44 – Reality
Saving the world is extraordinary. Bringing the world into balance and delivering peace to all the people is the most amazing thing I've felt. But changing the view of the world is something entirely different.
Looking back on previous entries, my comrades have written about their first experience with something new such as this. Katara has come up with an amazing idea. Writing about something such as this, is worth going back to just like it's worth remembering all the amazing things my previous lives have accomplished; although now, the relationship between my best friend and my used to be enemy, is incredible in itself.
Ever since the day I awoke in her arms, I was smitten. But even I knew something between us could never happen. I just hoped…like she did. Just like Katara, I wanted to change the world and it's traditions but I wasn't quick enough.
I guess the first time I realized something would happen between Katara and Zuko, is when we were back at the abbey when I met Bato.
It all started when I stupidly hid the map that led to Katara and Sokka's father. I knew they wanted to see him more than anything, but I truly felt they would leave me even after all that time. Just like the day I was going to be sent away by the monks, I felt alone and scared. Unfortunately this caused me to act irrationally.
From that point on, things became really messed up and I lost my trust. I lost the trust in my best friends, one of them being the girl I fell in love with.
As always, Zuko was after us once again, only this time he had the assistance of a bounty hunter named Jun and her Shirshu. I knew about the Shirshu and how it used scent to find it's prey, but what confused me, is how the Shirshu tracked own our scent in the first place.
Before I left the abbey, one of the sisters told me of Zuko's visit and how he was using a necklace to track us down. We hadn't seen Zuko in weeks and he still possessed Katara's necklace.
I knew I couldn't catch up to them in time, so I stayed at the abbey until they returned…we all knew Zuko would never give up so I knew he'd return.
Moments later they had arrived and Zuko and I were forced to fight one on one. I noticed something wrapped around his wrist when the sun caught its reflection for one quick second. I didn't want to lose concentration so I kept my mind on our fight; but the thought of her necklace strapped around his wrist confused me. He had held onto her necklace for that long…but why?
I knew why, it's just that I didn't want to admit it. Although he didn't look like it, he had feelings for Katara; just like me.
Eventually, I retrieved her necklace and gave it back to her. My reward was a kiss on the cheek…something I had wanted for so long, but I didn't feel anything. From then on, I knew we just had to possibly work on our relationship. But I guess even the Avatar has to be wrong once and awhile.
Being the Avatar, is knowing what's best for the world and not necessarily yourself. I made that mistake once and I knew making that same mistake twice would be wrong. That's why I had to let Katara go…I wanted what was best for her and what made her happy. Whatever made her happy, made me happy.
Oathkeeper: PLEASE REIVEW just don't critique my writing...it's annoying and I don't ask you guys to do it. So please don't. As for my other fanfiction, you may get a new chapter in "My Heart's a Battleground" or you may not...it depends how busy I am, since the only time I have are for these quick drabbles. Please remember I'll be gone all next week.
