Because I have seemed to have forgotten to put it on my earlier pieces: I don't own Avatar: The Last Airbender or anything associated with the show, characters, producers, nickelodeon, etc. This goes for all the rest of the chapters as well. Please Enjoy!
Defiance
For #6: Storms
--
The sky cracked and hissed as lightning shot through darkness. Seconds later a clap of thunder roared across the ocean. A lone ship stood out in the middle of the mess, refusing to let elements win.
"Princess, please I beg of you, let us find shelter closer to land. It is dangerous out on this waters during storms," the ship's captain called to the lone figure aboard the deck. The figure tossed back a length of hair and turned. Cold, golden eyes stared into the captain's, wishing death should he speak another word.
"I have surrendered enough for this lifetime. We will stay on our course! If you have a problem with it, then I'd be glad to remove you from your sufferings, Captain," a cold voice answered.
The captain bowed and made his way back inside. Azula turned back to watch the lightning. Another peal of thunder and the sky seemed to burst. Still, the exiled princess stood out in the rain. It had barely been a year since her father's death and her brother's return to the throne. She would never understand why her brother let her live with this fate. She would have much rather taken death. No matter how painful it might have been.
Then again, maybe that's why he let her live. In Azula's book exile is a fate worse than death.
Still, she refused to take her own life. A princess doesn't do such things, she would say. But her heart told her that it was Zuko that kept her from suicide. If she killed herself in exile, then her brother finally won. Still…
The ex-princess smiled as she turned back towards the main of the ship. Beginning a slow ascent to the highest point on the boat, she began to hum. It was a silly little tune that her uncle had sung to her when she was a girl. Something about a soldier boy and leaves. Lightning danced all around her, but she took no notice. She continued to climb, and continued to hum.
When she reached her destination, her smile cracked into a wide grin as she gripped the tall metal pole. Defiance was written in her eyes and hatred in her heart. She was a princess of the Fire Nation. She was the only child—worth anything if you asked her—of the Great Fire Lord Ozai.
She was Azula, and she never let her brother win.
