I still don't own Legend of Korra, nor Anastasia, or any characters therein. After looking at the first review, I have decided upon her element. Sorry, but her leement will not be water, as there will be no freaking way I can track the generations that far.
"General Iroh! You need to see this!" a soldier yelled from just at the docks. "It's important!"
Iroh calmly stepped away from most of his other soldiers as the younger new recruit led him through the streets in a hurry. He and all of his men were combing through the streets of Republic City in the aftermath of Amon's battle. They were doing their best to get the medical attention that everybody needed, which was proving much easier said than done. They were also trying to get as many refugees into the sewers with all the other hobos to help in their other goals of getting families reunited and all the benders whose bending had been taken away logged and in one general area so they could be accessed easily by Korra for when she had the time to restore their bending.
"What? What is it?" he asked as the young woman led him through the streets fearfully.
"It-I'm not sure who she is or where she came from, but she just fell from the sky and landed in front of Avatar Aang's statue!" she said as she propelled herself across the water with waterbending. "She seems to be royalty of some sort, but she didn't respond when I tried to wake her. Even water didn't work, sir! I thought that perhaps she would respond to someone of a higher military rank than I."
Iroh propelled himself across to Aang's statue with his firebending and landed at the edge of the memorial and looked around. After a bit of searching, he found who his young soldier was talking about, and his jaw almost dropped in shock at the sight of her limp frame.
The woman in question was wearing a pale yellow dress that showed her collarbone and shoulders, with a dark blue ribbon around her hair, and a silver tiara in her hand with shoes that were the same color as her hair's ribbon. Her dress and ribbon were somewhat in tatters, and her hair was brown like Korra's was but in a shiny red-ish manner, and the look on her face was one of the purest sorrow as if she'd been ripped from everything she'd held dear to her. He quickly walked over to her and crouched next to her, putting a couple of fingers on her jugular to check her pulse as he got a closer look at her.
To his relief, she was still alive and breathing, although exhausted, pained, terrified, and mortally wounded by the looks of it, even though she wasn't bleeding from any location that he could see on the dress.
"Wake up," he said shaking her shoulder. "Hey, you need to wake up. Amon is missing. You don't have to worry anymore. I can't help you get home if you don't wake up and tell me what nation you come from."
But the female didn't respond for the first few seconds. Then as if it were a struggle for her, she opened her eyes and moved to lie on her back, looking up at him wearily. He remained impassive as he watched her struggle to put the pieces together, and noticed that her eyes were the purest blue like the ocean's waters that he had come to love so much while in the United Forces army.
"Avatar?" she murmured hoarsely, and Iroh blinked down at her.
"No. I am General Iroh," he said putting his hands on one of her arms. "Come, if it's the Avatar you want, I will try to contact her as soon as I can. Right now you need to be moved inside. Where did you come from?"
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you," she murmured glaring down with a fire in her eyes that Iroh noticed rivaled that of his grandfather's, Fire Lord Zuko. "Nobody will but the Avatar."
"As a General in the army, it's my duty to listen to the needs of those that we protect," Iroh countered as he helped her to her feet. "Whether or not you're willing to tell is irrelevant, but at least let us know who your parents are so we can contact them."
"My parents…" she murmured as tears entered her eyes. "My parents…"
Iroh blinked as the strange woman began crying silently, as though a dam inside of her had broken. He knew he wouldn't get an answer out of her anytime soon, but it was better that he get her somewhere safe and out of the weather with such worn clothes before she got sick or worse. He led her out to the edge of the boy and nodded to his waterbender, who created a bridge of ice.
"Waterbending," she murmured with her voice cracking slightly. "What element are you, General?"
"Fire, like all of my Fire Lord ancestors," Iroh replied. "My grandfather was Fire Lord Zuko."
"Fire Lord?" she asked confused, and he saw a mass of pain erupt behind her ocean blue eyes.
"You don't know about the Fire Lord? Where have you been your whole life?" Iroh's soldier asked incredulously in disbelief, and the General had to turn his head and shoot a glare over his shoulder at her. "Sorry, General Iroh. My apologies, Miss."
The rest of the trip was silent, but the brunette's tears never ceased, as though she were mourning the loss of everything that she had ever held dear to her. Iroh didn't want her in the sewers, the last thing he needed was royalty from one of the other Elemental Nations angry with him. No, he gathered that it was best to take her to Air Temple Island, where she would not only be housed, but fed and kept safe by the airbenders. It was only then that he recalled that they were all away in the Northern Water Tribe to help Korra.
"I apologize for the lack of explanation," Iroh said as they finally stepped onto land. "But I'm afraid that we as the United Forces army are very busy at the moment."
"Go. Your people need you," she said stiffly, as though she were royalty. "It's not like I can do anything about this huge mess. The one responsible is dead and has destroyed everything."
Iroh nodded and used firebending to create jets to propel him across the bay yet again. The female soldier looked at the brunette one final time before joining her leader using waterbending to get her way across the boy.
"Demitri," the brunette murmured as she knelt on the ground and began sobbing her heart out. "Demitri…"
So now that she is in Republic City, things will get going. Sorry I didn't update in a while, I admit that I completely forgot about this one with all the stuff going on in my life.
Anyways, review!
