Chapter 19


Azula walked along the halls of the royal palace heading to her father's war had just returned from Agnimitra and her injuries were fully healed. She was angry when she woke up after the Ahmet boy used the rings power to launch her and her men away. She even had to call in Ty lee and Mai to come pick her up because her craft was they got back to Agnimitra her father requested an audience with her...or more like demanded. She wouldn't lie and say she wasn't a little afraid of what her father would do. She could remember it as clear as the dark blue scales on her hand what he was capable of when he was angry. She smiled as she remembered what happened to her brother.

She came upon the double doors that led into the war room and waited as two guards opened them for her.

She walked into the room and was given the proper respects from the dragon and drogon generals who sat in there. She bowed deeply to her father before standing at attention.

"Princess Azula, my daughter, I hope your journey to the second quadrant proved fruitful." Fire Dragon King Ozai spoke.

Azula kneeled on one knee and spoke in a calm voice to her father.

" My king, I have failed in apprehending two bearers of the rings during my invasion. There is no excuse for it." Azula said knowing her father hates excuses above all.

Azula saw as her father raised a dragon claw and rested it on her head.

"Azula you have not failed me. In fact, you have set in motion what the Great One predicted. The bearers that are against the Great One must live now. They will know fame and glory only to fail against our power."

" For now we'll let them be. Besides they have a few of my underlings to get passed" Fire Dragon King Ozai said.

Azula smiled evilly at that.

Planet Cronos

In a royal suite in the Beifongs hotel was a young man meditating with short spiky turquoise hair, a scar along the right side of his jaw and eyes closed in complete calm. He was dressed in silk loose robes made for his young man's name was Siegreen, he was 17 and the youngest belonging to the Holy Knights. The group that participated yearly in the Magic Games. The group consisted of seven of the strongest ever to be known across the galaxy. Siegreen had joined five years ago when their leader Baldron had sent an invitation to him. Siegreen was honored then that he was recognized for his magical capabilities. He had brought victory in his matches to the Holy Knights ever since. He heard a knock on his and heard a servant open it.

"Well well well, I see I caught you at the right time." a feminine voice spoke.

" I am in the middle of meditation Jenny. I believe it isn't." Siegreen said.

Jenny was a member of the Holy Knights. She was 18 and hailed from the Witchery. A place that was located in the second quadrant but inaccessible to any outsiders. In the Witchery they learned of curses and different magic than the natural elements. Jenny was one of the witches who decided to leave their home and venture off outside. She was extraordinary in the dark arts and was immediately recruited by Baldron. Though this was before Siegreen himself since she was his senior. Unlike others Aras that came from the second quadrant, the ones from Witchery weren't considered Aras as they didn't have blue scales or the ability to withstand the extreme colds. They all had purple hair with eyes that showed the galaxy.

Siegreen had asked Jenny why she couldn't stand the cold but all she said was Witchery was summer year round.

" Are you ready for the games Siegreen? The first week will be the pageant and sporting events this time around and the two weeks after will be the combat portion. Last year we lost first place to Yuen when Saldur fought him," Jenny eyes lowered as she remembered that day. " I knew Yuen was a murderer but I didn't think anyone of us was ever to get on his list of bodies."

That's right thought Siegreen. They were no longer seven Holy Knights thanks to Yuen of the Storm. They were looking for a new member to recruit after last years accident. Siegreen hated Yuen for killing Saldur because Saldur was his mentor when he joined the group. He taught him how to better use his magic and different Magic's he didn't think he'd be able to use. Now that he was gone all Siegreen wanted was revenge, and he wanted it during the games.

"Baldron wants to see us so he can pick the ones who will be competing in the different sections of the games this year." Jenny said.

"Then let us go."

Jenny and Siegreen opened the doors to the banquet hall that was sectioned off only for the Holy Knights. They made their way to their seats along the wide table that everyone else sat at.

"Your late." said a sultry voice.

"I had to fetch Siegreen, if it wasn't for me he'd still be meditating in his room." said Jenny as she kicked her feet on the table.

" my apologies Lady Velm'ta. I had not meant to keep you waiting." Siegreen said as he bowed before he sat.

" No need for apologies my Siegreen. Though Jenny I'd like for you to have some table manners." Velm'ta said.

Velm'ta was an Ara. She had long black hair and dark skin like most Aras and their natural blue scales. What made her apart of the Holy Knights was that she was one of the most beautiful woman in the galaxy. She won the pageants portion every year and she was no slouch in combat. She was only 32.

" We both know that's not gonna happen." chuckled a handsome young man sitting across from Jenny.

" You know you like it Chase." Jenny said as she grinned with a slight blush.

Chase had long orange spiky hair held into a ponytail. He was Cros and had their similar traits but he couldn't control the earth like normal Cros could. Unlike other Cros Chase controlled the greenery. He used his magic in the sporting and combat section of the always wore the traditional soccer uniforms and wouldn't wear anything else. He was the same age as Jenny.

" I suppose I do Jenny." he replied with a wink.

"Enough flirting. I called you all here to discuss the players I'm choosing for each events this year." said their leader Baldron. Baldron was a handsome man with long blonde hair and light golden honey was unique in magic. He knew of none of the elemental magic, but he did know of Holy magic which was purification. Baldron was only 21 yet he was the leader of the Holy Knights. No one not even his clan members knew of his race.

"Wait are we starting the meeting now? Where's Felix?" asked Jenny.

"He won't be joining us today. He's on a very important assignment." said Baldron.

Splash!

That was all you could hear as Zuko was attacked with water from Katara. "You! I thought I made it clear I didn't ever want to see you again." Katara yelled while getting ready to send another magic attack his way.

"Katara stop! Their on our side." Bato said as he pulled Katara back from harming the young Drogon further.

Katara,Sokka and Aang looked at Bato like he'd grown a second head.

" wait their? So that guy over there is an enemy as well." Sokka asked as he narrowed his eyes in the direction of the other man that came with Bato.

" We are Drogons yes, but we are not your enemies." said Iroh as he revealed himself. He thought his nephew foolish taking off his disguise before Bato got the chance to explain why they were with him.

" He speaks the truth Sokka. They are from the Insurgency, a group of rebel's who are against what Agnimitra is attempting to do." Bato said as he held a ready to fight Katara.

" I've never heard of a them…" Sokka said slowly. He didn't trust them, but if Bato did- his father's best friend- then Sokka would see things differently.

Katara couldn't believe what was happening. She was initially ecstatic when Bato—someone they missed from home— had come by their ship with two others they thought were Aras. But then the situation did a complete 180 as 'Li' revealed himself. Katara didn't know why she reacted that way but she was happy she did.

"We can't trust them Bato. I've already been fooled by him once I won't let it happen again!" Katara said as she tried to get out of Bato strong hold.

"Hold on Katara-"

"Not you too Sokka!"

"Katara I'm not fully on board with this either, but take a moment to think about this. Those two Drogons saved dad and everyone that day including me, when our home was attacked," Sokka said as he put his hand on his sisters shoulder. " The least we could do is let them stay."

Katara gave her brother an angry look before sighing. " Fine"

Katara turned around and walked back on the ship. Aang followed after her to make sure she'd be okay.

Bato placed his hand on Sokka shoulder to get his attention. " Thank you Sokka. And I'm very proud of you taking charge like that."

" Me and my nephew thank you as well. We know it must take a lot to trust us." the older Drogon spoke up.

Sokka looked between the older and younger Drogon. " It's not a matter of trust.. I owe you and that's it." Sokka said before turning to follow after Katara and Aang.

That was a couple nights ago and Katara felt even worse than she did then. She was washing dishes after today's dinner and was too tired and emotional for her taste. She learned that Li's real name was Zuko and that the other Drogon was his Uncle named Iroh. Bato had told her last afternoon that she didn't have to like them but she did need to work with them. She agreed reluctantly but she refused to share a ship with them. She was afraid Bato trust was misplaced and that they'd attack when they were fast asleep. Her thoughts continued on Zuko, she started to frequent bumping into him and she hated it. She didn't know his deal. He always kept looking at her when he'd think she wasn't noticing and he seemed to never sleep. He was up before them all and the last to go to bed. He was such an enigma that it made her angry even further. Maybe he was planning on killing her first? She honestly couldn't blame him if that was the case considering all she's done to him since he arrived. Every time she prepared food she made sure his was terribly nasty or not enough on the plate.

"I think that dish has been washed enough Katara." joked Aang.

Katara jumped slightly at his voice since she didn't hear him near her. Then she noticed that she had been on the same dish for awhile.

" I don't know what it is Aang..well I do know what it is but I don't know how to deal with it." she said as she turned off the running hot water.

Aang couldn't help but notice the stress coming off his friend so he thought of a plan.

"Come with me Katara" Aang said holding out his hand.

Katara looked at the hand Aang held out then looked into his grey eyes.

"Sure"

Aang led Katara outside the ship and made his way towards Appa who was eating some plant life on the ground.

" hey buddy. Let's go to that one place we found." Aang said as he petted his grunted before allowing them to hop on.

"Where are we going Aang?" Katara asked as they took off.

"Someplace I'm sure that'll make you happy."

As they soared through the sky for a bit they soon stopped at a valley of flowers and wildlife. Katara had never seen something this beautiful never grew in the second quadrant except ice larkspurs...and they were carnivores and poisonous. She followed Aang after he helped her off Appa to where a pond was located.

"This is beautiful Aang..how did you find this?"she asked him in awe. Katara went over to feel the flowers and to just bask in its glory.

"Well I had been flying with Appa the other day when I got bored and we came across this valley. I knew you'd love it Katara!" Aang said with a huge smile.

Aang turned his focus away from Katara and couldn't help but notice a dark blue flower. He went over to pluck it from the ground and decided this would look really great in Katara's hair.

"Hey Aang, doesn't Appa eat plants?" she said as she noticed Appa was outside the valley borders.

"Yeah he does, I don't know why he hasn't attempted to eat them..maybe he's not hungry. But here Katara I picked this for you to put in your hair!" he said as he came over to her.

"Thank you Aang, help me place it."

Aang placed the flower into Katara's hair then looked into her deep blue eyes. Katara may have thought of this valley as beautiful but he couldn't think of anything more than her.

Katara couldn't help but notice Aang's heated gaze but also his hands were still entangled in her hair. She felt warmth rise to her cheeks and a wave of confusion.

"Um..Aang I think we should head back.. I don't feel comfortable being gone from Sokka and Bato for to long." she said as she recalled who they had as ''company''.

"Huh, oh yeah um..let's go then." Aang said as he let her go and quickly made his way towards Appa.

Katara followed him and soon they took off back to camp.
