Flames of bright azure
Always make my heart flutter
I submit to you
My beloved princess and,
Only you can enjoy me
-Ty Lee
Her vision was still blurry. Her body was still limp. And her last memory before darkness had reclaimed her was that someone was carrying her. She was about to let this happen again when she felt something on her ankle. Jinora immediately bolted up and realized she was in a surprisingly luxurious bed and covered by a satin blanket and that a small chair was next to her. Things started to come back to her as she remembered being thrown into a storm and feeling something hit her head as she reached an island. As she tried to remember other things, however, her head started to throb. Where did I come from? Where am I now? What's my name? Jinora…. Oh right, I'm Jinora. And what am I? An Air Nomad, that's what I am. But who brought me here? She decided it would be better to get out of bed and try to see what kind of place she was in. But as she tried to move she once again felt something on her ankle. As she removed the blanket, she gasped in surprise as she realized that someone had changed her clothes. She was wearing only a white bikini with a thin white skirt on her hips. There was a golden ring around her right ankle with a chain connected to it. Who undressed me? What's going on?! Jinora lay there confused. She also noticed that her hair felt different. Looking at a nearby mirror she saw that her usual bun was gone and rearranged to a small braid. Seeing how clean her hair was and how refreshed her body felt, she also realized that someone had bathed her. Jinora lay there bewildered. She then heard someone approaching her room and quickly covered herself with the blanket once more and closed her eyes. I don't know where I am. I can't remember anything about myself besides my name and nation. I'm chained to a bed. Someone undressed me. Please tell me this is just a bad dream!

The ship was slowly approaching the harbor and a pink-clad contortionist couldn't contain her excitement as she heard the captain announce this to the crew. Ty Lee was tempted to run out of the cargo storage and see the Fire Nation Colonies for herself but decided against it, not wanting to be caught. I've given up everything for this. So there's no way I'm messing this up. If only I could've taken Azula with me. It was a miracle I managed to turn this disaster into an opportunity. But I hope those guys didn't tell her any lies that were too outrageous. It was always her dream to be in a circus; to perform and show off her skills and be seen as her own self and as one of a kind. Being with Azula had made her feel mostly secure and happy but Ty Lee always had the lingering desire to follow her dream. She probably would've bought me a circus herself if I asked her. But I can't be worrying about that now. Worst-case scenario she probably thinks I'm dead. Indeed, she had only managed to obtain this opportunity via a combination of sheer luck and carefully manipulating what could've easily landed her in a fate worse than death. While she deeply regretted having to leave her family and girlfriend behind without even giving them a proper explanation, she decided that she'd eventually return and when she got that chance, she'd tell them the whole truth. They said they'll leave an explanation for Azula, but would she really be fooled by it? I hope she sees through their lies and comes after me. But if not, then I guess I'll just have to take this chance to follow my greatest dream. Once I become famous and rich on my own I'll be able to go back to her and she'll have the ultimate trophy girlfriend.
As she felt the ship dock, Ty Lee gathered her few belongings and quickly but quietly snuck out of the cargo hold. As she hid behind barrels and sidled past the ships railings, she eventually got to the dock and at that point abandoned all subtlety and dashed off of the ship. As she approached the city of Yu Dao she marveled at the sights before her: stores, restaurants, towers, and all sorts of establishments to explore. Why didn't I ever ask Azula to take me to the colonies? Everything is so amazing here. And best of all I'm free now. No more family restrictions—although Azula could've easily overridden them—and I don't have to be seen as part of a matching set anymore.
Ty Lee was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn't realize where she was going before it was too late and ended up crashing into someone. She fell on her back and quickly got up. "I'm so sorry!" She said as she helped the stranger get up. Ty Lee noticed that this stranger she crashed into had an unusual appearance. Chestnut hair, an outfit with an unusual red/green scheme that exposed her midriff, and a large piece of rock attached to a chain that hung on her hip. Ty Lee was about to rush past her when the stranger suddenly spoke. "I know who you are! You're Lady Ty Lee, Princess Azula's girlfriend!" Ty Lee froze in her tracks, not expecting someone to actually recognize her, much less know about her erstwhile relationship. The stranger smirked at her surprised reaction. "I only heard rumors about your relationship with the Princess and how even the Firelord secretly approves of it. But I never thought I'd be lucky enough to meet you. As a proud Fire Nation patriot, if I may be of any assistance, I will be more than happy to help, my lady."
Ty Lee didn't know how to react to this stranger. On one hand, she had no idea who this stranger was and if she would be safe to trust. But on the other hand, she hadn't thought out her plan properly. She had just intended to eventually find the famous Fire Nation circus that toured the colonies and ask to join, using her family's status and acrobatic abilities to convince them to accept her. She never considered what she'd have to do before finding the circus. Maybe this girl can help me. It's a lot better than being forced to sell my body on the streets–Azula would probably kill me if I did that—or being captured again by those thugs. "Well, there's something you can do to help me. You see, Azula doesn't know I'm here. And the reason I'm here is quite….complicated. So if you could at least show a place to stay for the next few days I'd appreciate it." The girl nodded in understanding. "Of course my lady. You can stay at my house. My father is the mayor of Yu Dao and he'd be more than happy to oblige. Follow me." As Ty Lee followed the girl into town, she noticed that many people seemed to be of Earth Kingdom origin and she even saw several Earthbenders practicing their bending in a nearby park. "I had no idea we had Earthbenders in the colonies." She thought out loud. "Of course we do, my lady. They've coexisted here since the honorable Firelord Sozin established the first colonies. In fact, I'm an Earthbender myself. My mother is one too. Although my father is a Firebender." The stranger levitated her spiked meteor hammer for Ty Lee to see, as she stared in awe. "By the way, I never asked you, what's your name?" "Kori. Kori Morishita."

Azula wondered how the girl was doing. Having heard the blanket and the chain placed on her ankle move, she assumed she was now awake. Although she knew that with her power she could easily force this new girl to enter a relationship with her and that there was no way she could escape, Azula still wanted to give her a choice, and also wanted her to enjoy her new role. And I have to make sure everything goes well this time. I can't afford to let her leave me like Ty Lee did. The fire spirits were kind in delivering this cute girl to me. If my hunch is right she'll have no place to return to, so she'll have to agree to be mine. She tried to remember how she discussed this situation with Lo and Li and tried to go over the advice they had given her.
~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
"Very intriguing. One would not expect to find someone like her on the beach." "Indeed. A young girl, and one who appears to be an Air Nomad, if you look closely at her clothes." The two old women had finished preparing breakfast, when Azula had reentered the cabin, carrying the unconscious Jinora. Upon laying her down on a nearby divan, Azula told her mentors that she had found the girl on the beach and wished to keep her for herself. The two mentors proceeded to examine the girl and Azula's interest was piqued by the revelation of her nationality. "I thought her kind was extinct. How is it possible for her to have evaded detection for this long?" "That's something we'd like to know ourselves, princess." "But for now, she has nowhere else to go." "And it seems that she's been exhausted by the storm too." "Perhaps we should give her a bath and a change of clothes." Upon hearing the suggestion, Azula's face turned red. She had fantasized about doing all sorts of lecherous things to Ty Lee but never got beyond ordering the girl to undress in front of her and tickling the acrobat's body occasionally. Although she knew no one would be able to stop her, Azula always wanted Ty Lee to be both comfortable and willingly submissive. This is my chance to have a girl I can do anything I want with. But then again, if I go too far with her, she may resort to drastic measures in order to escape. And the last thing I want is for her to get depressed and die of stress or try to kill herself. Father's told me about prisoners being tortured to death in this manner. But Ty Lee would've submitted to any of my desires if I had requested it. Would this new girl be so resistant?
"Princess, are you thinking of Ty Lee?" Hearing one of her mentors brought Azula back to reality. "It's nothing to be ashamed of. After all—." "—it's only natural that you'd want a new companion to replace her and–-." "—a new source of pleasure." Azula glared at her mentors, not happy that they knew her so well. They smirked in response. "I was only thinking of what it would be like to get a quick look at her body. I wasn't harboring any licentious thoughts about ravishing this Air Nomad." Unfortunately, Lo and Li weren't fooled in the slightest. "We were the ones who taught you how to lie without being detected by Truth Seers." "Did you really think you could fool us?" "Be grateful that our loyalty is to you, first and foremost." "And that we're willing to keep these sorts of things a secret from the Firelord." "Although there are rumors that he may already be aware that you harbor these amorous feelings." "And towards females no less." Azula twitched in discomfort. Although her father never displayed any hint of disapproval to her always having Ty Lee around, there were several occasions where her secret was nearly exposed. There was the time I awoke to see him in my room, ostensibly to inform me of my newly arrived books. Ty Lee was asleep on my lap and I had to tell him that she passed out from training too much. He seemed to accept the explanation but it was a close call nevertheless.
"You're right. I do want this new girl to be a replacement for Ty. And I do have some unholy intentions regarding her. But can you really blame me?" "Of course not, princess." "We completely understand." "But we advise you to not immediately force yourself on this new girl." "However tempting it may be to do so." Azula considered her mentors' advice. She knew they were right deep down and that the only reason Ty Lee was so submissive was because she had known her for years and willingly became her girlfriend. But I still WANT this new girl. "Alright. I'll try to offer the girl a chance to willingly submit first. She'll need to know that the Air Nomads are extinct and that if she wishes to survive her best choice is being mine." Lo and Li nodded in approval. "I want her put on my bed. Put her in one of Ty Lee's spare bikinis after you bathe her. And make sure she won't be able to escape." "Very well, we will get her prepared for you." "Just keep in mind, that she may be in a state of shock." "You'll need to be considerate of her if you want her to willingly submit."
~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
Azula stood in front of her room and decided that now was the time to make herself known. She entered the room and saw Jinora pretending to still be asleep. She's clearly terrified. Though that will change when I let her know what she'll get in exchange for submission. Azula sat on the chair next to the bed and looked at the girl. Lo and Li rearranged her hair to look like Ty Lee's braid. Excellent. It was obvious to her that she was awake since she was trembling and her face looked tense. "I know you're awake. Even if you weren't, it should be obvious that I'm not letting you escape. So it'll be better for you to get up and introduce yourself." Jinora opened her eyes and faced her captor but refused to remove her blanket. Azula thought of tearing off the blanket but remembered what Lo and Li told her. "My name is Azula. I'm the princess of the Fire Nation. I found you passed out on the beach and since you clearly have nowhere else to go, I took you here to my family's vacation home." Jinora merely stared back, not knowing what to do. I don't think she'll hurt me but I still don't know if I can trust her. If she's really a princess then I'll have to be careful. "Why am I chained to this bed? Why did you undress me?" Azula normally wouldn't have tolerated such directness but kept her temptations in check. "I'll answer your questions if you answer mine first. What's your name? Where are you from? How did you get caught up in that storm last night?" Jinora was still nervous but complied. "My name is Jinora, I'm an Air Nomad, and I don't remember anything else. I remember being thrown into the storm and feeling something hard hit my head when I finally reached an island but I don't remember anything else." She squeezed her eyes in pain and grabbed her head as she tried to remember. "When I try to remember something I get a headache." Jinora put her head back on the pillow. Azula reached out and rubbed her head. "Very well. Since you answered my questions I'll answer yours. You were clearly injured by that storm and your clothes were a mess so I had my mentors bathe you and put you in something more appealing. And I also had them chain you to make sure you won't escape. Believe me it was for the best. Where could you have gone with a damaged memory and exhausted body?" By now Jinora had recovered from her headache and became less apprehensive. Azula smirked as she noticed this. "Why don't you join me for breakfast? I'll remove that chain for now if you promise me you won't try to escape. Do we have a deal?" Jinora nodded. She removed the blanket but blushed as she noticed Azula ogling her body. "Can you please just remove the chain?" Azula immediately proceeded to do so. She looks so adorable. And the way she blushes is no different from Ty Lee. I'll make sure she's mine.
