Katara's POV
I found a secluded little room in a part of the castle that I never knew existed. I sat down on one of the many decorated pillows and closed my eyes trying to relax and not think about whom everyone wanted me to be. It wasn't until I heard a little clink of a tea cup being placed on a saucer did I realize that I was not alone.
I looked up to see the great Dragon of the West enjoying a cup of tea sitting just off to the side in a spot I barley glanced over when I made a quick retreat into this room.
"You are lovely; I can see why my nephew has taken to you. I can also see what my niece sees in you." He smiled at me and motioned for me to come sit closer. I crawled over to where he was and took a sip from the cup of tea he offered me.
"Now, would you like to tell me what has brought a powerful and bright water bender to her knees?" I took in a deep breath of air and looked him in the eyes.
"I don't know who I am or who I am supposed to be, all I do know is what others want from me. Yue wants me to be her savior, a water bender who can free the avatar and end the war. Princess Azula is training me and giving me the ability to harness my power for her desires. Prince Zuko is confusing me beyond belief and seems to be avoiding me. When he thinks I'm not looking I can see the confusion and doubt on his face as plain as the sun. My own brother is rotting in a jail cell while I sleep on silk and I cannot bring myself to look him in the eyes. Last of all when I saw the avatar, the looked he gave me, made me doubt my appreciation for the fire nation."
I took in a huge breath of air after rambling out all my problems as fast as possible. General Iroh smiled and took another sip of tea. "Well my dear I cannot tell you who you are or your destiny, but I think you should meet someone." He set his tea down and stood up softly pulling me up by my arm.
"Who?" I followed him out of the room. Iroh looked back at me and smiled, "you will see." He hummed the whole way down long hallways. Pretty soon I recognized where we were going, the dungeons.
I know this chapter isn't very long, but I promise to update within the next couple of weeks. Calculus 2 is starting to take up my time, but with Test #1 out of the way I have more free time. Q: Should I write the next chapter from zuko's POV or should Katara meet this "someone?"
