Secrets of Ba Sing Se
Me: Hey everyone! Para here! I've really been into conspiracy theories right now. So here's mine on the Dai Lee. Hope you enjoy.
Katara: Para doesn't own Avatar! On with the show!
A long time ago, the Earth King was a smart and clever man. Wise beyond his years and concerned for the people. His most trusted advisor was Long Fei. He watched over the dealings of Ba Sing Se and had many eyes, ears, and contacts, making him the most powerful man in Ba Sing Se. Next to the Earth King, that is.
However, the king was sick. Very sick. He had two sons and one daughter. The daughter was married to an Earth Kingdom noble in Omashu. The oldest son was killed during the 600 day siege of Ba Sing Se. Murdered by the Dragon of the West's son, Lu Ten.
The Earth King had to trust his young and immature son. He had no control nor maturity. When the king was lying in his death bed, talking to Long Fei, he begged that he would watch over the city. And he swore to do so.
Years passed and the new Earth King was reckless. Unsure of himself. Insolent. Not worthy of being a leader. Long Fei wrote many times to the daughter begging her to return with her husband to rule. But she could not. She was pregnant with her second child and Omashu had soon become New Ozai.
Panic filled the streets as the silly new king threw parties for his bear and they worried. Soon, upper ring society members couldn't walk without being overrun that the war would soon reach them. Long Fei despised the new king. He had ruined Ba Sing Se.
Many nights Long Fei spent time reading the scrolls of psychology majors at Ba Sing Se University and trying to discover a way to return Ba Sing Se to the former utopia it was. Brainwashing. He would take the massivly panicked and transform them to think the war was not real. Then forbid it amongst everyone else.
But how would he know when to brainwash those causing panic? A society. A secret group of cultural protectors. The Dai Lee. Slowly overtime he formed them, perfecting it and he even brainwashed the Earth King.
Ba Sing Se was no longer a utopia, but a prison. A nightmare for those who weren't following the rules. And if they didn't the Dai Lee would take them. And destroy them. Why? Because one silly king failed to step up to his duty and one advisor failed to pay attention to what was really important.
Me: I thought it was kind of creepy. So I dunno...how did y'all like it? Read and review.
