Zuko was one of the most volatile people Enyo had ever met. One second he's cheerful, and the next he's moody, much like the fire bending he uses. General Iroh took her aboard his nephew's ship. The story they had both agreed on was that some old friends of his had died and that she was his god-daughter. The blue eyes were the hardest thing to explain. Blue eyes were very rare in the fire nation, and Iroh ended up telling a tall tale about spirits and sorts. The soldiers just dismissed it as Iroh babbling and left it be.

Enyo heaved out a sigh, staring over the edge of the ship, down at the water. She could feel the tension in her arms, the intense longing to be with the water again, to bend it and shape it; to let the power flow. Enyo clenched her hands into fists, letting the urge flow away. There were soldiers everywhere on this ship. She couldn't dare risk being captured by the fire nation, she had already gained secrets from being here. Secrets they could use to defeat the fire nation in the war.

A shadow covered her body and Enyo twisted in the rough fire nation garments. Zuko stood, staring down at her, his intense amber eyes watching her. "My uncle was wondering if you wanted a game of Pai Sho?"

Enyo raised an eyebrow. "Playing messenger boy?"

He scowled. "Just go play that silly game with him. Keep him occupied."

She rolled my eyes. "It wouldn't kill you to respect your uncle. He's a good man."

Before Zuko could respond, she walked off, trying not to appear uncomfortable in the clothing. The fire nation fabric was rough on her skin. Enyo had to wear the constant red and grey armour to protect from the occasional attack, and it was heavy. How did they manage to even bend in this stuff?

She swallowed nervously, before entering the room. None of the men acknowledged her, continuing on their work, directing the ship towards the south pole.

"Enyo! Dear! Did Zuko send you in for Pai Sho?"

"Yes, Iroh." Enyo let out a low bow, before crossing her legs and sitting across from him. He smiled at her, placing down his lotus tile.

Enyo smiled back, before placing down the next tile in the sequence. Iroh had been spending his time on this ship on Zuko's fruitless search for the avatar initiating her as a member of the order of the white lotus.

It was starting to chill off as we headed farther and farther south. She could feel every bone in her body itching to go back home, but it was too dangerous, and Enyo couldn't risk drawing them to her home, not where Katara and Sokka were.

"Uncle! Look!"

Both of them turned our gazes away from the Pai Sho game, and stared out the front window at the glowing beam of light that was emitting from the snowy white landscape.

"It's a signal! The avatar must be here!"

Iroh looked at her and shrugged. Enyo made a face in return, making him smile.

"The southern water tribe has been hiding him all along!"

Enyo froze, making eye contact with Iroh, who shook his head sternly.

"The southern water tribe has no more benders! This will be easy!"

Enyo couldn't help it. She stood. "What makes you think that the southern water tribe is hiding him? He might not even be close to it. The beam of light came from over there," She pointed out the glass window. "That's not even close to the southern water tribe."

Her eyes widened. She had messed up. She shouldn't have said that.

"How do you know where the southern water tribe is?" Zuko demanded.

She shrugged. "My mum told me."

"Really?" Zuko said. "Then point it out."

Enyo made eye contact with Iroh, before glaring back at Zuko. "No."

"Why not? Are you a traitor?"

She let out a loose chuckle as the guards began to tense up. Iroh sighed. She clenched her fist, slowly rocking the water underneath the boat.

"No. I just figured you'd be smart enough to find it on your own since the map on the wall has it marked down."

Iroh let out a shaky sigh of relief. Enyo smiled cheekily at Zuko as his eyes narrowed. He shoved past her to the map and she sat across from Iroh once more. Iroh looked across the table at Enyo and shook his head disapprovingly.

Iroh leaned in close and whispered. "You mustn't antagonize him so much. He is struggling."

Enyo shrugged, hiding a smirk as she glanced over at Zuko. "It's too easy."

"Head a course for the light."

Enyo ran her hand over the scratchy fabric, turning back to the game, and placing the lotus tile in the dead center. The sun was beginning to set on the water, casting orange sunbeams dancing across. The sky was echoing, allowing the stars to begin glimmering in search of spirits. Enyo inhaled, and stood. She could sense her family from far away. All she would have to do it sneak off the ship in the middle of the night.

She made eye-contact with Iroh and turned pink. It was as if the old man could read her mind, he knew exactly what she was planning. He shook his head and she sighed. Not today.

Enyo leaned on the edge of the ship, watching the snowy icebergs drift by. There was nothing there except ice, and they were headed directly en route to the southern water tribe. Enyo thrummed with nervousness. She didn't want to stay. She wanted to go home.

Enyo shuddered. The night sky was dark, and the moon spirit was glimmering, moving in an infinite dance with the ocean spirit. She danced her fingers along the railing, only looking up when a flare flew upwards. Enyo froze. That flare was directly east of her home.

Zuko came rushing out of the bedroom area. He skidded to a stop behind Enyo. "The avatar is here," He breathed. "He is in the southern water tribe."

Enyo shook her head. She didn't know if she wanted to risk Zuko's wraith. "You are full of it." She mumbled.

"What did you say?" He snapped.

"Oh, nothing." Enyo smiled at him, baring her teeth. The fire prince was responsible for the death of every water bender in the south, except her, and her sister. He exhaled, small flames curling out of his fists. The ship veered left rapidly and began moving faster. The water was parting in smooth waves, letting the ship glide through.

The tribe soon came into view. It appeared as though it had shrunk immensely. She felt guilt coursing through her. Since she and the other warriors left, there had been evident destruction. She clenched the edge of the railing tightly. Would they even recognize her? It had been a year since she had left with her tribe and six months since she had unintentionally joined the fire nation. She shuddered. What would her siblings think? Her father? If he was even here.

"If you were a fire bender, I think you would've burnt the ship to smithereens."

Enyo turned to glare at Zuko. "You should watch your mouth. I may not be a fire bender, but I can still use a sword."

"What's your problem with the southern water tribe? You act as though they have hurt you personally."

Enyo froze, thinking quickly. "One of their soldiers personally killed my mother. So yes, I'm a bit angry."

He nodded. "I'm sorry."

The boat hit the iceberg and it rocked, Zuko stumbled, hitting Enyo. She pushed him off of her and stalked off. She scooped up the metal helmet and pulled it over her head, covering her dark hair and blue eyes. She glared out the narrow eyeholes. She just had to disguise herself.

Enyo inhaled, pulling out the sword that was sheathed in her belt. She just had to make it through this.
