A/N I don't know why but for some reason when I edited and checked my document it didn't save where I put what Amiti looks like. So he has shaggy black hair like Zuko's and golden eyes. So basically a mini Zuko. Oh, and both of them have pale skin, as in Long and Amiti.
Disclaimer: Don't own Avatar: The Last Aribender and that goes for my other chapters too. Forgot to put it.
Amiti awoke with a startle. He peered through the fog to find that they were on a shore. He reached over to wake up Long who was sleeping at the front in between the seats. She spoke before he could touch her. "I'm awake." She sat up. He stepped out of the boat, and pulled it onto the shore more. He held out his hand to Long, to help her out. She didn't even glance at it, instead she stepped on the seat and jumped out.
"We should look around. You go that way," she pointed to the left of the boat," And I'll go that way." She pointed the other way. They both started walking in their directions.
"Jiro! Where are you!?"
"I'm over here!"
Etsu walked up to her brother, and studied him. He had on a sleeveless blue tunic, that wrapped around with a belt, and short pants underneath. She then noticed that his shoes were missing. Odd. "I told you to stay with me. And where are your shoes?!"
"Hey, I'm the oldest so I can do what I want!"
Yah? Well, mom put me in charge."
Long walked around in a….forest. At least that's what it looked like to her. She then heard two people yelling at each other. Sounds like a brother and sister fighting. I should know. She looked around and noticed Amiti not too far away. She walked up to him, "Do you hear that?"
"Yah."
"It sounds like-"
"A brother and sister fighting."
"Yah." They followed the sound and saw the two squabbling.
"Well, mom over powers your age!" the girl with her hair in a bun yelled at the guy.
"Yah? Well, my age over powers you!"
"Nuh uh, mom has more power."
"No. I do."
"Oh really? I'm going to go home and tell her that." She started walking off. Long looked at Amiti in confusion.
"No you're not." He grabbed her blue shirt, and picked her up.
"Put me down!" she screamed and started kicking.
"Are you gonna go home and tell mom?" He turned around and froze. He saw Long and Amiti. He scanned them and saw their clothes. Fire Nation. She looked where he was and froze, too. Before he put her down he whispered, "Look on the girls head." She did and saw the Fire Nation royal crown. The princess.
He raised his hands. "Look we don't want any trouble." Long and Amiti were confused. In unison they both looked down and realized. Long was the first to speak, "We're not going to hurt you. Our boat just washed up on this island. What is this island?"
They were both hesitant, but Etsu heard the kindness in the girl's voice. "Kiyoshi Island." This was the first time since the siblings saw them that Long noticed the girl. She had her hair in a bun, with a similar outfit to her brothers but a bit more feminine, a skirt. Long then noticed that the brother wasn't wearing any shoes. Odd. Unlike her brother, the girl was wearing boots. The brother looked at her like she was crazy.
"What are you doing?" he hissed at her. It was meant to be private, but unfortunately it came out as not. Translation: instead of whispering he yelled.
Long continued ,"We just want shelter and food then we'll leave. No harm at all."
Etsu was a friendly girl, and loved to think the best of people. But she drew the line at Fire Nation. Let alone royalty. She knew of a past princess, Azula, she was very cunning and could get anyone to believe anything. She noticed this princess had a similarity with her. Related, duh. But still she felt compelled to help her. "OK." Her brother looked like he was about to explode. "But you have to answer a few questions."
"Ok, anything." This time Amiti looked like he was about to explode.
"First, why aren't you in the Fire Nation?"
"We got in trouble and had to run away."
"What did you do?" The two in question exchange looks. Ever so subtle Long shook her head no. Amiti knew what she meant. Luckily the pair across didn't notice. Amiti spoke. "We insulted some Fire Sages, and they wanted to arrest us. Cranky old men."
"But, they can't do that you're the princess," Jiro said referring the question to Long.
"Apparently they can."
"Ok. This is the last and most important question. Are you two loyal to the Fire Nation?"
Long didn't hesitate one second, actually she answer before Etsu could finish the question. "NO!"
The siblings took a step back, shocked at the answer. Etsu could tell she was angry at the Nation, and didn't blame her. She looked at Amiti with a questioning look. "Me neither."
"Alright, you can come to the village. But you're going to have to change your clothes. Our village doesn't take to kindly to you people." After a second she added, "No offense." Long raised her hands as to say 'none taken'. "By the way, I'm Etsu and this is my brother Jiro." She said as she gestured to them both.
"I'm Long, and this is Amiti." Etsu gestured for them to follow and started to walk. They followed. Maybe they could be our friends? Long hoped. She ran her fingers through her hair. She noticed something was missing. She stopped short, "Where's my flower!?" Everyone stopped and looked at her confused.
"What?" Amiti asked. He stepped towards her.
"My flower's missing."
"You mean that one in your hair."
"Yah!" she started to look for it.
"I haven't seen it since the tunnel."
"That means it's in the palace! Now I'll never get it back!"
"It's ok. Maybe one day we can."
Fire Lord Iroh the 2nd, walked through the halls of his palace. "And they went this way?" he asked the head Fire Sage.
"Yes, my Lord." The Fire Lord turned the corner and immediately saw a flower in the hall. "Isn't that the Princesses, my Lord?"
"Yes." He said as he picked it up. He looked up and recognized the design on the wall. "Get the ships ready. I want you to search every place in the entire world. I don't care if it's Ba Sing Se or the islands that surround the Air Temples. Search everywhere. Find that Avatar."
"Yes, sire."
A/N Sorry for any mistakes or anything had to edit it in a hurry. By the way I had to make Zuko evil, so sorry. I hate it too, but it's the only way things will make sense. Thanks! Review, Favorite, Follow.
