[ZUKO'S PROV]
Zuko was ticked, "How could you just let him escape?!" He hollered at his crew angry at himself as well for underestimating the young Avatar. Luckily the ship would hold together until they made it to the nearest earth kingdom in order to make repairs. The repairs shouldn't take more than a week and Zuko had seen the direction that the flying bison had taken. Zuko cussed and went below to his cabin to cool down a little by practicing with his swords. As Zuko got in some practice that in all honesty he didn't really need he begin to think about Cobra and his heart started beating faster, he felt a blush lightly cover his face when he remembered the kiss. It had been his first kiss and he was pretty sure that it had been Cobra's first kiss to since she had only ever shown him her face. Zuko put his swords away and made sure the door was shut before he pulled out the necklace that Cobra had given him, as he fingered the small container that was filled with liquid that hung from the black necklace Zuko couldn't help but wonder where she was and what she was doing now. If only he knew…
[COBRA'S PROV]
Cobra felt like she was going to go stir crazy, she hadn't seen Zuko in over two years and to her it felt like a life time however she had at found Zuko's mother Ex- Fire Queen Ursa who had two very big secrets... twins. A boy and a girl they were five years old meaning that she had been secretly pregnant with when she had to leave the Fire Nation. Luna, that's the name that the Ex-Queen was going under now, had been extremely distrustful until Cobra had proven she was exactly who she said she was. Luna had been grateful that Cobra had found them however Luna was extremely fearful that Ozi would find out about her and their two young children so Luna begged Cobra not to tell anyone not even Zuko. Cobra felt torn she knew that Zuko really wanted to see his mother again however she was also certain that unless and until the Fire King Ozi was taken care of and Zuko was on the throne, Luna and the twins were in danger. So Cobra took a new name and identity to help out Luna and the twins, Rama and Adenah, which is why she was currently ignoring the flirting of an ugly old geezer as she tossed down her seventh cup of the hardest rum she could find. As Cobra concentrated on trying not to kill the old pervert she thought about how there was hardly any jobs in the small un-remarkable town somewhere in the middle of a swamp in the forgotten regions of the Earth Kingdom that Luna had been hiding in. Cobra pursed her lips thinking about all of the sudden Cobra's eye's narrowed and she slammed down the now empty cup before slowly turning her head to face the old pervert who had dared to group her. She didn't care who was watching he was going to die!
TWO HOURS LATER:
Cobra gave an evil grin of remembrance, as she walked along the dirt road towards a larger Earth Kingdom town. The old pervert got what was coming to him although to Cobra's disappointment Rama and Adenah had come to get her and Cobra had promised Luna that she wouldn't kill anyone around the two. However Cobra had gotten her revenge and boy was it sweet. The whole town which consisted of about 69 people spread out in a 5 mile radius would never have to worry about that old pervert grouping anyone ever again…seeing as how he didn't have any fingers…or toes.
A bush to Cobra's right rattled and Cobra silently cursed herself for not having her guard up when a masked woman jumped out of the bushes. Cobra jumped back instinctively knowing that this woman was dangerous, this instinct was proven true when the woman through several throwing knives that would have hit Cobra had she not jumped out of the way. 'One thing to be glad about, my skills are still getting a workout.' Cobra thought to herself as she circled the woman looking for a weakness.
TWENTY MINUTES LATER:
The fight was still going on much to Cobra's surprise she had never taking this long to take down an opponent before. Cobra's eye's narrowed as she saw the woman pull out an ornamental fan, immediately Cobra stopped fighting. She knew that fan, she knew this woman, long forgotten memories flashed before Cobras mind and the old language came pouring out as Cobra opened her mouth, "Mother."
