Chapter 3: Facing the Firelord

Disclaimer, I only own my OCs

Admiral Katsu stood beside Prince Ozai as they both reported on what they had witnessed of Kirasari's bending abilities. The Firelord listened intently to the information he was being given by his son, while Katsu remained quiet throughout the whole ordeal.

Firelord Azulon switched his gaze over to the Admiral, "You are being awful quiet Katsu. Do you have nothing to say on your daughter's behalf?" He questioned as Ozai turned to his friend as well. "Forgive me, my Lord. Something just doesn't seem to add up. The last Avatar was Roku and he was a Firebender. My wife is a Waterbender and I am a Firebender, as are my sons. How could Kirasari possibly be the Avatar if neither of us are Air nomads?" the Admiral questioned thoughtfully.

"So Kira, why is it that a former non-bender is now able to bend two elements?" Azula questioned as she and her entourage followed Kira. Zuko glared at his little sister, "Leave her alone Azula," he ordered protectively. The five year old quirked an eyebrow, "But Zuzu, don't you find it strange that she is suddenly able to bend green fire and water? I'm just being curious," she defended her claim innocently.

Kira shook her midnight hair from her eyes in exasperation, "Azy's right Zee, it doesn't make sense," she calmly explained while placing a calming hand on his arm. Zuko looked at his best friend, "You could be a late bloomer. It's happened before," he comforted her.

Kazuki and Lu Ten joined their cousins with Masaru tailing behind them. "We have all been summoned before the Firelord," Lu Ten informed after giving Kira a small smile which she eagerly returned to her older cousin.

Kirasari stood alone in the center of the throne room. Her violet eyes trained on the flaming curtain of fire separating her from the Firelord, "Have I done something wrong my lord?" she questioned meekly from her position on her knees. Prince Iroh watched his niece with sympathy as his brother looked upon her with interest.

Firelord Azulon looked down from his throne at the six year old bender before him before slowly replying, "That remains to be seen. Do you know why you are here?" he questioned. "I didn't mean to attack Masaru, Sir" she steadily replied while Kazuki and Lu Ten withheld a laugh at Masaru's expression.

The Firelord laughed, "You are not being punished for defending yourself against your elder brother. He had it coming, attacking his younger sister under false accusations." Kira smiled faintly while Masaru glared at his little sister but remained silent. "I was informed that you not only were able to bend fire, but you also bended water. Is that correct?" He questioned. "Yes your majesty. But it was all done by mistake," she replied steadily while her gaze switched to her emotionless father, who stood beside Prince Ozai. "Mistake or not, you still were capable of bending two opposite elements yes?" The Firelord questioned. "Yes Sir," she replied hanging her head.

"Well then, give us a demonstration. I would like to see this green fire that you were supposedly able to produce," he ordered. Kira's head snapped up and her eyes widened before she slowly stood up and took up a Firebending stance.

All eyes were focused on the 6 year old girl as she punched out her fist and sent a wave of green flames spiraling towards the ceiling, before whipping the flames through the air like a whip. Her violet eyes focused on the green flames. The whole room was silent as they watched the prodigy move amidst her element.

Kira stopped the whipping action and held the flame in her hands as she turned back to face the Firelord, her face completely serine as she awaited his judgment. "Impressive, you are certainly not a non-bender anymore. Show me the Waterbending now," he commanded. Her eyes widened in fear and she looked towards her mother, who stood at the far wall with Kazuki and Masaru. Before her eyes fell on her father. They both nodded their accent and she extinguished her flames.

The young bender slowly walked over to a basin of water that had been placed in the room. She took a deep breath before raising her her left hand over the basin. A stream of water flowed out to her and she took another breath before moving away from the basin and swinging her arms out in a quick arc. The water turned into ice and went sailing towards the palace pillars before she swung her arms in the opposite direction and it turned back to water and returned to her.

A small smile broke across her face and she swung her arms out in a quick succession creating a whip of fire and a whip of water. Her arms containing the separate elements as she spun around in a circle.

She slowly, if not shakily, returned the water to the basin, after getting splashed by her unreliable bending skills, then extinguished her flames, before sinking into the ground in exhaustion.

The Firelord remained quiet for a time before telling her family that she is free to go. Shila cast an anxious glance towards the Fire Nation royalty before coming forward and helping Kirasari to her feet. Kazuki and Masaru following her as they led Kira towards the exit.

Without warning Kirasari sneezed and crashed into the wall support. Kazuki ran to his sister and lifted her off the hard floor before carrying her outside. Shila slowly followed after her son and daughter but not before hearing the princes argument with the Firelord over what should be done with the 'Avatar'.

She decided then and there, that she would somehow manage to take her daughter back with her to the Northern Water Tribe.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter and sorry for the wait.

In case some of you are wondering whether or not Kira and Zuko are related? Admiral Katsu is Prince Iroh's wife's younger brother, making Iroh Kira's uncle as well. The only relation that they share is Iroh.
