7. Chapter 7

CHAPTER SIX

Cobra stared out over the earth kingdom, she had made it unseen this far but in order to find out anything she was going to have to be seen and unknown this would be tricky since all Fire Nation in fact every Nation knew about her being Zuko's bodyguard seeing as how she had foiled hundred's upon hundred's of would-be-killers from all kingdom's yes even some from the Fire Kingdom itself. Hmm maybe just maybe if … but then she would be revealing her true identity. This could pose a problem…unless. That's it that's what she would do! With that in mind she silently jumped down off of the rooftop and made her way through the earth kingdom to a small wooden shed that sat right at the edge of the forest.

[ZUKO'S PROV]

Zuko stared out over the water today marked his fifteenth birthday, it was two years since he had been banished from the Fire Nation. It had also been two years since Cobra had left and he hadn't heard anything from her yet. Not that it was her fault since he basically lived on the ship only stopping here and there mostly for his uncle Iroh, whom he had grown closer to and respected a lot (not that he showed it very often) and to get supplies such as food, water new clothes and fuel. Zuko leaned against the ships railing, it was getting colder out so he raised his inner fire a little to compensate smiling as he remembered when he first came aboard the ship and his Uncle had tried to teach him how to raise his temperature with his inner fire. He had burned through seventeen pairs of clothes and they had to stop so he could buy more before his Uncle made him practice again. Eventually Zuko learned how to do it and now he was thankful that he had, since Zuko decided to try the northern waters to look for the avatar.

The avatar. Zuko felt several emotion's with those two words.

Anger, who did his dad think he was kicking Zuko out and then giving him an almost impossible task to complete in order to gain back his rightful place as Prince of the Fire Nation.

Fear, what if Cobra tried to find Zuko but couldn't because he no longer lived at the palace and he never let it be known who he was so no one would gawk at him or try to start a fight.

Discouragement, What if he never found the avatar what would happen to him then?

Happy, Zuko was glad that there was still someone out there who could strike fear in his dad's heart.

Zuko sighed and pushed his body away from the railing as a brilliant beam of light lit up the sky from farther north. Zuko couldn't believe it. The avatar? It had to be no-one else could be that powerful. Zuko hollered at one of the crew members to tell the captain to set a course straight for the place where the light had came from. They were finally going to find the avatar.
