AN: Readers of this story assemble… so you all may thoroughly hate me. I am so sorry. I cannot express how sorry I am with words. I just have a job that is very time consuming and I have school and semester exams plus I got sick, now as I am typing this I am sick. And I sound like a man, no offense men. But I am still a teenager… -ish so yeah… anyway… Happy Reading.
I woke up with a start. Something's different, I am not in the dark room on the ship, I am in a bright room. It was as if it was made out of White Marble and Diamonds. It was dazzling, nearly blinding. There was a flash of blue, no… several flashes materializing into a woman. She was gorgeous, her face was shining like the moon itself. She was dressed in what seemed like the constellations, every star in the sky shining individually on a dress that looked as smooth as silk. Then with a loud crash of what seemed like a tsunami a man, a handsome man with tan skin and electric blue eyes appeared out of nowhere.
"Hello child." cooed the woman warmly.
"Hello, um… who are you." I asked.
"Very direct aren't you little one, we are known by many names. Yin and Yang. Push and Pull. Tui and La. Moon and Ocean. The delicate balance. The fine line between life and destruction." said the man.
This was what Zhao meant when he said being contacted by Tui and La.
"One question, who is Tui and who is La." I asked confused.
"I am Tui" said woman. "We are here to relay a message." said the man, presumably La.
"As you should be aware the Avatar is the spiritual bridge between the physical and spirit world. He or she has the ability to bend all four elements. As the Deva, you too have the ability to bend air, water, earth and fire. However the spirits of each of element must see you develop a gusto or capability of the element based on your behaviour. Yesterday you and our daughter of water, Katara, helped to calm down the Avatar. That was a very emotional event which you passed. Therefore, Tui and I are blessing you with the gift of waterbending. You can choose to not pursue the path of bending outside your native element air or you could continue to pursue the elements and become the first Deva to master all four elements." said Tui.
"Some of them, particularly the male airbender from Yangchen's time came very close. He was able to produce fire but never became a master. Some chose not to bend any other element saying they would rather stay in the background and let the Avatar do the bending. But I believe that someone should pursue and push to find a challenge." said La.
"Well if that is the case, then you found the right girl. I won't put all that pressure on Aang, he needs me. Besides, being able to spar with him fairly sounds fun. Tui, La, I will accept your gift of waterbending. And I am honoured that you would bestow upon me such a privilege." I say bowing.
"Very well child, I sincerely wish you good luck on your travels and I hope that you are able to master the elements." said La.
"Little one, before we let you leave, I must tell you, you need to re-join your friends, they will be at an island named for an Earth Avatar." said Tui.
"And a bit of advice when it comes to bending water, do not use force, but rather, use your opponents force against them." said La his electric eyes twinkling.
"Thank you for your wisdom." I say.
The marble walls turned to liquid and I knew I was waking up.
I woke up in the lotus position and I am feeling very sore. This is not the very best position to sleep in, even though I have done so several times. Sometime during the ordeal I fell forward with my legs still crisscrossed. Suddenly I remember the vision I had. I am to go to an island named for the Earth Avatar. And I am to sneak off the ship. Honestly finding out which island would be the hard part. I'm gonna need a map, and my glider.
I exit the room and see the guard isn't there. Huh that's weird. He is usually out here stoic as a statue. I creep around and soon reach Iroh's room. I knock on the door. Once. No answer. Twice. Nothing. Thrice. Still nothing. I then sneak up deck and still see no one not even the occasional guard. Then I hear the single most annoying noise ever. Prince Zuko shouting. Oh sweet Vayu! Did he shout his first words? Might as well eavesdrop.
"We have lost sight of the Avatar!" said Zuko.
"He was last seen leaving the Southern Air Nomad territory on his bison sir." said one of the guards.
Sir… he is the second youngest person on the damn ship!
"I believe he may be either on Whale Tail Island or Kyoshi Island. If not there then he must be on the Southern Part of the Earth Kingdom Continent."
"Which one are we closest to?" said Zuko, finally not shouting.
"Whale tail… sir." said one of the guards, he said 'sir' in a way as if he didn't believe that such a boy of his age could be called such.
"Watch your tone." said a gravelly voice, probably Iroh.
"We head a course for Whale Tail then we leave as soon as possible if the Avatar is not there." said Zuko authoritatively, well more so than usual. That soldier's comment must have irked him.
"Uh sir?" said a man.
"Yes." replied Zuko bitingly.
"Is it okay that when we reach Whale tail we get some provisions." said the man
"Yes cook, also, I'm in the mood for fish tonight."
"Yes sir."
Alright, what did I learn…C'mon Maya think. The ship is going to Whale tail then Kyoshi. Kyoshi, that's it, the Earth Avatar, the last Earth Avatar was Avatar Kyoshi, I need to go to Kyoshi Island. Where is it though?
I know how to play this. I run back to the hallway where mine and Iroh's rooms are and just in time too.
I soon hear humming and the pattering of steps. Has to be Iroh. I then walk up to his room door and knock on it. Iroh then comes into view.
"Why, good morning Maya, what can I do for you."
Well you could feed me, free me and return my clothes, this big red shirt and leggings while comfortable need to wash.
"Well you could tell me all about Avatar Kyoshi." I suggest.
"Why the sudden interest?" asked Iroh warily.
"Because earlier I was sleeping, and I kept on hearing Kyoshi and whale tails, and now that I think about it… Fish."
"Avatar Kyoshi is as you should already know of Earth Kingdom descent. She was to be the first person to meet the Unagi, that is a water snake creature that is said to live in the waters of Kyoshi Island. She was also well known for defeating Chin the Conqueror. A horrible tyrant who was planning to take every Earth Kingdom village and town into one giant empire called Chin." said Iroh.
"Vain much." I snorted.
Iroh chuckled "In a great show of her Avatar prowess she divided the land and made a new island. The Isle of Kyoshi. It is actually about due north from here. Kyoshi lived to be 230. She had two children. One of them she had after the first died of old age. She was also known for starting the Cultural officers of Ba Sing Se the Dai Li. She painted her face and was also ridiculed, not because of her big feet, but because of using Airbending conductors as weapons." Finished Iroh
"She had a staff!" I exclaimed.
"No, she used fans." said Iroh.
"So cool, I never thought of using them as weapons!" I exclaimed, my mind whirring at the possibilities.
Kyoshi Island, due north. Well, gotta end this convo.
"Thanks Iroh, I learned a lot, you are a good teacher," I said I bowed then exited.
I need to get my glider. My glider is in the boiler room, the under belly of the ship. I need to get ready for a swift departure, leaving in five minutes, tops.
I walk across the hall to my room and see that my clothes are back in there. Well I don't have enough time to change, I'll have to carry them on my back. I take my red sash and use it to secure the clothes on my back. I then run out to the hall, fully aware that a couple guys are behind me.
"Hey! Get back here." yelled one of the soldiers.
"I'm sorry but I can't, I know you'll miss me but I gotta go." I said sarcastically.
I bend the air behind me and make the molecules that make up air come together and solidify.
I hear a soft thud and peak behind me to see the men on the ground after running right into my trap.
"Hahahahaha!" I laugh.
Down the stairs, down the stairs, why are there so many damn stairs. Wait. Why am I running? Thank you Aang for teaching me this trick. I make the air scooter and slide down the spiral staircase. Finally the bottom. There is a table and my staff is on it, I grab my staff and am about to leave when I hear a growling. I see a man, a man who looks vaguely familiar he is tied up and sweaty and dirty. He is glaring at me with an almost dusty brown gaze. I don't just stand there though. I turn and high tail it back up the stairs. Then I run I am now on the deck. The sun is getting hot and the salty sea breeze is threatening to burn my eyes. I look around and find I am surrounded. Prince Zuko is approaching me.
"You think you are smart don't you." said the prince.
"You think you are attractive don't you." I retorted.
His hand moved to touch his scar.
"I wasn't talking about your scar, princess" I said sassily
"Give up or prepare to fight, scum" said Zuko
"It doesn't offend me coming from you, Zuko."
"That is Prince Zuko to you." He said enraged.
"Um… no it isn't, it is Prince Zuko to everyone but me." I say getting annoyed.
"Shut up!" he yelled at me.
Done with his royal whine- ness I sharply move my expecting a thin slice of air to throw him off his feet.
None came.
What did come however was a thick tendril of water throwing him off of his feet instead.
Oh Vayu, I'm a waterbender.
Seizing the opportunity I open my glider and take off speedily.
After about an hour and a half of flying I see a speck in front of me so noticeable because of the colour contrast it was almost a brown colour, has to be Appa, but he is going down, that means…
Land ho!
With a burst of speed from my newfound excitement I speed up. Sure enough about quarter of an hour from now I see what has to be Kyoshi Island.
I come in for a landing only to hear a rustling. I used air bending to amplify my sense of hearing and hear faint breathing. I look up only to see that there are figures dressed in green above me. Before I could do anything however. There was a bag placed over my head and then I felt something coil around my body and soon I was dragged away.
"Why a newcomer, tie her up with the rest on the statue." Said a voice.
Whoever tied me up did what the voice said then took off the bag. I look around then I jerk my head to the side to see Aang and the Water Tribe siblings.
"You four have some explaining to do." said an old man.
"And if you don't answer all our questions, we're throwing you back in the water with Unagi." said a girl.
"Show yourselves, cowards!" said Sokka
The girl at the front who spoke earlier, removed the blindfolds.
"Who are you? Where are the men who ambushed us?"
"They are the ones who ambushed you." I said exasperated.
"That's not possible Maya… wait a minute, MAYA!" said Sokka
"MAYA!" yelled Aang
"Maya? Impossible, Zuko has her." said Katara
"No it's me in the flesh." I said.
"As I was gonna say, there were no men. We ambushed you. Now tell us, who are you and what are you doing here?" said the girl.
Sokka stares at them in disbelief. "Wait a second." He amusingly glances to his right where Aang stands as if he is looking for confirmation. "There's no way that a bunch of girls took us down."
"A bunch of girls, huh? Unagi is gonna eat well tonight." says the girl taking Sokka by the collar.
"Isn't the Unagi a giant water serpent?" I ask.
"No, don't hurt him! He didn't mean it. My brother is just an idiot sometimes." says Katara pleadingly.
"Mhm, yeah, sometimes." I say shaking my head.
I can see a couple of the warriors laughing at my antics.
"It's my fault. I'm sorry we came here. I wanted to ride the elephant koi." admits Aang.
I move my hands a bit and find I am tied rather loosely therefore I take my hands out of the rope.
"How do we know you're not Fire Nation spies? Kyoshi stayed out of the war so far. And we intend to keep it that way!"
"Simple answer you don't, but were not." I say.
"This island is named for Kyoshi? I know Kyoshi!" says Aang brightly.
"Ha! How could you possibly know her? Avatar Kyoshi was born here four hundred years ago." Says the man humourlessly.
I look up at the face of the statue. The colours have faded away a bit, but it is still clear that Kyoshi wears the same white face paint, with the red accentuated eyes as the five girls do.
"She's been dead for centuries." The man finishes.
"He knows her because he is her, or rather her reincarnation. He is the Avatar." I say boldly
That's impossible! The last Avatar was an airbender who disappeared a hundred years ago along with the Deva. No one has seen them ever since."
"That's us!" I say brightly.
"Throw the impostors to Unagi!" says the man, he has to be the mayor to be making such a brash decision.
Katara murmurs something to Aang who then whispers, "Cut the ropes with bending."
I do what he asks and move my arms in an elaborate gesture and cut the ropes.
"Huh?" I heard some villagers say."
We bend over before pushing ourselves off the ground. We leaves a large dust cloud as we shoot in the air, stretching out the ropes binding his arms, using one of the outstretched fans of the statue to snap them in half While I do the same to the ones on my ankles. Now completely free of the bonds, we tumble elegantly over the statue and land gently on the ground in front of the surprised crowd, our robes still gently fluttering in the air.
Oyaji, the mayor, and the Kyoshi Warriors stare at us in shock. A lot more people have gathered around to see what is going on. Unlike the female warriors, Oyaji and the other civilians are dressed in blue.
"It's true ... you both are the Deva and Avatar!" says Oyaji
This is one of the few times that people called my title before Aang's.
Then Aang does the marble trick that I taught him literally a century ago.
Flashback (Still Maya's POV)
We were at the Western Air temple because the monks had some big meeting, we wandered off to the giant Pai Sho table where I beat Aang at eight out of nine games.
"What is it with you, every time we play, as soon as I think I'm gonna win and then it is White Lotus then bam! I know I'm gonna lose." said Aang pouting.
"What's a girl without a few secrets?" I say.
"A girl who isn't you, besides can we play marbles now?" said Aang.
I grabbed marbles from the pouch I was wearing and started to spin them in my hand.
"You have got to teach me that." said Aang.
"Oh alright." I say feigning exasperation.
"The things I do for you." I say.
It's because you care about me." said Aang playfully.
"Yes, unfortunately" I agreed.
There was silence "Hey?!" exclaimed Aang.
End Flashback
Soon after the marble ordeal we were ushered into a room where we were informed we would be staying at for our stay in Kyoshi.
"All right! Dessert for breakfast!" exclaimed Aang
"Oh yeah!" I cheered already stuffing my face. I, like most airbenders have a massive sweet tooth.
Katara pokes one of the squishy looking, orange puffs with a flat top in front of her. She then picks up and closely investigates the dessert she just pokes.
"What?" I say to her "I highly doubt it is poisoned." I say to her.
She shrugs me off.
Aang and I on the other hand do not share her reluctance and proceed to stuffing our faces, two desserts at once.
"These people sure know how to treat an Avatar!" says Aang.
I moan in agreement. My mouth too full to talk.
"Katara if you're still unsure about the pastry try the donuts they have a really cool strawberry flavour." I prompt her. She accepts it, albeit reluctantly.
I watch her reaction. Her eyes widen slightly, but she plays off her reaction.
"It's fine, stewed sea prunes beats it easily though." She says
She's lying. Her aura makes that very clear. But why would she lie about liking a pastry though?
Momo sneaks up to Aang and snatches the dessert out of his other hand and quickly dashes away, who smiles at his pet. He does not let the theft bother him and quickly gabs another dessert in front of him while Katara munches down the piece of cake and reaches across the table for the same dessert Aang just took. Aang glances to his left, over the hunched Katara to Sokka. Momo appears between Aang and Katara and quickly snatches another cupcake from the table before vanishing underneath it.
"Sokka, what's your problem? Eat!" says Aang.
"Not hungry."
I promptly cleaned out my ears thinking something is wrong with my hearing.
"I'm sorry, come again?" I ask incredulously.
"He's just upset because a bunch of girls kicked his butt." said Katara mockingly.
"They snuck up on me!" he protests
"Then let me guess you got your behind handed to you?" I ask already knowing the answer.
"Sneak attacks don't count!" he said indignantly
Tell that to the Fire Nation, Genius.
He then walks out mumbling under his breath. I did manage to catch what he said when he came back for food.
"Mmm ... this is tasty."
"Well I'm gonna head out, see ya." I say before wiping my mouth which is probably stained with raspberry jelly.
"Where are you going Maya?" asks Aang
"I don't know yet. Hopefully I'll find out soon." I say as I walk through the door. When I begin to descend the steps however, I see a bunch of blue clad blushing girls staring longingly at the door.
"You girls here to see Aang I presume?" I ask, amused.
Their blushes only redden but the younger ones stare in confusion.
"You aren't Aangy's girlfriend are you? The smallest one says.
"Aangy? You mean Aang? Oh no. Absolutely not, we are only friends." I say laughing at the notion. Besides, he likes Katara, and hopefully she will reciprocate his feelings.
Air Nomads have never been very good at the whole 'heart break' scenario. Love is an attachment. In Air Nomad philosophy, we are to let go of all attachments, in order to achieve nirvana. Nirvana is the experience one feels when they achieve enlightenment when all greed, hatred, delusion and err… sexual immorality are extinguished. It is a very high honor and is hard for a single person to achieve, it takes entire lifetimes in most cases.
"Well in that case, hi my name is Koko!" she says enthusiastically.
This is just too adorable, I can't even…
"Hi Koko, I'm Maya." I say stooping down to her level.
"When is Aangy gonna come out!" she says stomping her foot and pouting.
As if on cue the door opens, Aang pops his head out, he looks directly at me and raises his eyebrows at me shortly. Then he says,
"Ladies!" in a drawn out silky, smooth manner.
"Aangy!" they scream.
It suddenly occurs to me, Zuko should be coming here soon, he is probably soon reaching Whale tail, Then it will take another 8 hours for him to get there. I'd say about sunset. If that late.
I know where I am going though. Or rather, Who I am going to.
I shake my head amused and walk towards the dojo that is almost in the centre of the island, behind the gargantuan statue of the islands namesake.
I walk through the slightly ajar door of the dojo. To see the Warriors of Kyoshi in the middle of a kata. They notice my presence but do not stop until the kata is finished.
"Good morning Deva Maya." says the leader with the fancy head dress.
"Good morning…" I trail off not knowing her name
"Suki." She says.
"Good Morning Suki and please, never ever call me 'Deva Maya' again, it makes me feel old."
With a snort she says, "Ok Maya, would you like to join us?" she asks.
"Would I!" I say giggling like a 3 year old. "But first I must warn you, a potential threat could be coming to the island at about sunset. Would you and your warriors be prepared for such a threat."
"Yes. I have full confidence that my warriors and I could defeat such a threat, we have been training our whole life for it."
"Well then, let's get started." I say.
After a few minutes of preparation I am put in the standard garb of a beginner Kyoshi Warrior.
"Now remember Maya, our fighting style is not about brute strength, but using our opponents force against them." says Suki.
"Like Waterbending." I say.
"Yes exactly."
This place is weird. They wear water tribe clothing, fight like waterbenders and they are in the Earth Kingdom.
Suki put the other warriors on a break, telling them to come back in four hours. Then she demonstrated a kata. She twisted and turned and manoeuvred her body gracefully as if she was water, sinuously, almost snake like. She then slowed down and waited for me to start. We stood side by side a foot length instead of an arm's length apart from each other and began. I was shaky at first but not because of the footwork. Airbenders are naturally good dancers as airbending forces you to be light on your feet ready to turn in any direction freely and without hesitation. The stances however threw me of. I wasn't bending and curving, my back was to be rigid, shoulders loose but not too loose, arms wide but not too wide. After a while though I was gliding in and out of the positions like I have been doing it for years.
"Wow Maya, you are really good at this, especially your footwork." said Suki breaking the silence.
"Thanks, you are a good teacher though." I reply.
"I think your evasion and defence tactics are good. Let's probably try offense."
It went miserably.
Okay, I am over exaggerating, it wasn't that bad. I just don't like the prospect of hitting people unprovoked. It just seems wrong to me!
"Maya, I cannot believe I am actually saying this… but… hit me!" said Suki.
"What if I hurt you!" I protest. I turn away frustrated
Something changed in her demeanour. Her eyes glinted dangerously.
"Fine! Don't. I should have realized that teaching a little girl grown up moves won't work." She said scornfully.
Oh no she didn't.
I whirled around fan opened and poised to strike. Suki's eyes widen. Good. She better take that little girl comment back. Then after staring for five seconds I pounce. I shift positions feigning to sweep her leg from under her. On instinct she jumped so I just butted the blunt end of the fan in her stomach. She fell back on her derriere but jumped up and advanced. I tried to imagine what my face looked like at the moment. Grey eyes blazing, sweat prickling at the corners of my white fainted face near my hairline. My lips drawn tight with my tongue sticking out in concentration. I bet I probably look way worse that what I am imagining. My skirt flared when I spun about 240 degrees to narrowly evade an attack. Suki's hand impacts my side near a pressure point. I'm gonna have to be careful. If she gets any closer to my body I probably will get my chi blocked. As a desperate measure. I flipped over her and swept her legs from under her. She is tiring, good. We exchange blows, but mine are really weak. She soon tires and then I see that she is panting. I hit her at the base of the neck. She falls. But does not get up easily. Eventually I help her up.
"All I had to do to make you fight is piss you off, man, for an airbender, you have a firebender's spirit." She said after she caught her breath.
"Wait, you did this on purpose?" I ask.
Wait a minute, the taunting out of nowhere, change of demeanour, she was planning this, she expected me to fight back. And I was just a good little white lotus tile in her Pai Sho game.
"Oh yeah, I didn't expect you to fight that hard though."
"I would, I do not take insults lightly. You are lucky though, if you insulted Aang or maybe Katara, I would've beaten you into a pulp."
"Looks like someone has a little crush." said Suki, biting back a smile.
"On who? Katara. Not there is anything wrong with it, but I don't roll that way." I say shaking my head.
"I wasn't talking about- nevermind, remain oblivious."
"Oblivious about what?" I ask half listening.
"Oblivious about-" was all I heard before the Warriors rushed into the dojo. Still on edge from the fight I sink into a low airbending stance. The one I use when I need to gales instead of breezes. I look to see the confused glances of the warriors. I then bid them good bye and take off to the bathroom to change clothes. I then fold my lips and get rid of the makeup. I undo my braided hair, I didn't pull it up into a bun because I was too busy trying to escape and I like my buns to be neat. My brown locks look lighter than they usually are and much curlier. I put back on my air nomad clothes. Then I exit the room.
I walk to the house and open the door. I see Katara playing with her water and walk back out onto the steps. I have a problem, whenever I need to think I sit on steps. Or I meditate. But I like meditating in silence but the obvious anger and jealousy coming off the waterbender is quite distracting. Practically bouncing off of the walls. Red and Green coating the air around her.
I start to lose myself in my thoughts.
We have to fight a war. Not a battle or a sparring match. A war, people may die, no people will die, people have died. I may die, my friends could get hurt and I don't want that. I look up towards the sky and see a blur of orange and yellow, then, with a soft thud I see Aang staring back at me with an unreadable expression.
"What'cha thinking about?" he asks.
"Not much, why?" I ask confused.
"Well, you are deep in thought I have been watching you for a good five minutes now." said Aang.
"You were staring at me? Why? See something you like?" I tease.
"Yeah, your lipstick looks nice." He says honestly.
Lipstick, what lipstick… Oh, the face paint.
"Oh I went to the dojo today, and I put on real Kyoshi Warrior outfit, makeup included. Then I worked on a couple Katas. Oh and guess what… I can waterbend now, well I need to practice, but I can actually do it." I say.
He likes my lipstick! Wait, why do I care if he likes my lipstick? Why am I still thinking about this?
"Deva's can waterbend?" he asked surprised.
"Yeah they can bend all the elements, but most choose not to." I reply.
"Of course you would, you couldn't stand being less powerful." said Aang teasingly.
"Oh shut up Airboy!" I say rolling my eyes and laughing.
"What did you do to piss of Katara?" I ask curious.
"I didn't carry her basket." He replied shrugging.
"Figures… How are your fan girls treating you?" I ask.
"They're awesome, and a bit overwhelming, but they're cool I guess." He says.
"I actually came to tell Katara I was going to go swimming." He says.
"Oh alright, I'm gonna take 5. Later Airboy."
"Sleep tight Windwalker." He replies, I smile at the familiar nickname.
I walk inside and turn into one of the rooms. I lay down and sleep. Sometime later I wake up and smell burning wood. I grab my ever-present glider and run out the house, then I see it, rhino's, the kind indigenous to the Southern Fire Nation. Atop the beast is Zuko, wearing his famous scowl.
"Hey! Princess!" I call out getting his attention. He snaps his gaze away from the Kyoshi Warrior he was squaring off against and turned to me. Then he snapped the rhino's reigns and started to trot towards me.
"Give up little girl, and I won't continue debating whether or not to squash you." He says
I roll my eyes, open the tail wings of my glider and make an air current to push him off of the rhino.
"Gee, Zuko, I don't get why you keep on falling for me, I'm twelve, you are about sixteen, and it'll never work out." I say in a deadpan.
He snarls then advances throwing fire punches and daggers and even huge volleys of flame. One dagger almost hit my left arm and I felt the heat through my clothes. I decide enough is enough. I take up a discarded fan and use it as Kyoshi would've. A huge wave of air smashed into the Prince's torso and slammed him into a patio of an abandoned house.
"Until next time princess." I say tipping an imaginary hat. I see Appa about to take off and I run and open my glider and fly into the saddle. I look at my companions. Katara looks around and casts an annoyed look in my direction. Sokka is… blushing and Aang looks torn, like he is between a rock and a hard place. "I know it's hard, but you did the right thing. Zuko would have destroyed the whole place if we had stayed. They're going to be okay, Aang." says Katara comfortingly.
"I can't believe we are just gonna leave the village like this, half burning." I say feeling ashamed of myself.
He casts a humorless smile in my direction and promptly dives headfirst off of the saddle.
"Aang what the heck!" I shout.
I watch his free fall into the water. The water bubbles and suddenly the Unagi shoots out of the water with Aang on top of his head, holding his whiskers. After swaying about a few times, he sturdies himself atop Unagi's head and pulls the creature's barbels. The Unagi opens its mouth wide and begins gushing water which rains over the town. From here I see the unimpressed look of a soaking wet Prince Zuko. I do nothing but grin cheekily back down at him.
AN: Finally done... to be honest I don't like how this chapter turned out. I literally started from scratch 9 times. Please review and tell me what you think, what I should change etc. Any who... later!
