Chapter 3
Katara's POV
The port was coming closer and closer, as I looked out of my window from my room. Yori looked at me with concern on her face, she knew that I was not prepared to come back to this place. With all of the memories of fighting by his side, I was vulnerable.
Snapping me out of my reverie, Yori said, "With the port being only a few hours away, let's make him not forget who he was truly in love with, and remind him that he settled for less."
I smiled slightly at her attempt to make me laugh and walked over to the bathtub. Over the years, I had fully grown into a young woman. My curves filled out more and were more defined than they were five years ago. My face was leaner and had gotten rid of all of its baby fat, yet it still held my rosy full-lips and more feminine azure eyes. My chocolate-colored hair still held its many curls, but was more easily manageable than it had been, silkier and reached to my waist.
Using my waterbending, I began to unwind from all of the tension that I had, feeling all of my stress just going away. Yori poured scented oils into my hair and scalp that smelled like a cherry blossom; it smelt amazing.
When I was finished with my bath, I was swathed in a towel. Yori began to pull my hair this way and that, trying to drain all of the water out of it, and then put into a braid that fell down my back. Soon, she was putting light traces of makeup on my face, not too much to look like a geisha, but not too little to look like a little girl. She pulled out one of my finest blue silk gowns that I had never worn before and a pair of my prettiest shoes to go with.
The dress was an amazing ocean blue that formed well to my body. It did not contain frills or anything bad like that, but white fur along the sweetheart neckline, on the ends of the two sleeves, and at the hem of the skirt. The skirt was simply floor-length and held no special stones or anything, but was simple. The dress's color matched perfectly with my eyes and practically made them sparkle in the light. It also made me look more exotic than normal, I felt beautiful.
Soon, Yori was pulling my hair out of the long braid she had it in, and my hair fell, cascading down my back in long dark waves.
"If I do say so myself, you look hot, my princess."
I looked at Yori with a bemused expression on my face, and we began to laugh.
"Thank you so much Yori."
She shot me a look and said, "Don't worry about it, it's my job. Now come on out to the deck. We have to go get your man."
