"Iroh, please, go get some sleep," Ursa said late that night, and he looked up at her wearily. "No arguments, go. You aren't much use to her if you're nodding off."

"Yes, mother," Iroh caved as he felt his eyes droop even more.

"Don't go," they heard Anastasia croak as his hand was about to leave her.

"I'll be right across the hall," Iroh soothed, "I won't leave you unattended. I need to go to sleep, but I'll be back as soon as I wake up."

"Do not fret, little one," Ursa said gently as she took Anastasia's hand in hers and Iroh removed his fingers from the Romanov's grasp. "I will stay here while my son cannot."

"Thank you, mother," Iroh said gratefully. "This means a lot to the both of us."

"I know, my prince," she smiled gently, "Sweet dreams."

"Prince Iroh!" Olga cried happily as he entered his room, and he stared at her.

"Olga Romanov," he said sourly. "What do you want?"

"You know my name?" she asked astonished, "This makes things so much easier!"

"I'll ask you one more time. What do you want? Why are you trying to separate your sister from me when air nomads aren't supposed to be royalty?" Iroh demanded quietly, and she looked at him lovingly.

"She's not the oldest, and custom clearly states that it's the oldest who gets married first," Olga said sweetly trying to win him over.

"Get out," he snarled quietly, "If I find that it was you who gave Anastasia the sickness that she has right now, I'll burn your face off."

"But, Prince Iroh, that's not becoming of the crown prince," she said hugging him tightly.

This only served to anger the General more, and he had to force himself not to use firebending because she wasn't yet solid.

"I don't give a damn," he hissed angrily glaring down at her. "Now remove yourself from my person, unless you want to find yourself scarred for life when you become solid. I'm sure your sister would be more than happy to destroy you when she hears of what illegal schemes you've been making. You have no idea what our customs are here, and as a warning to you, I can easily have you imprisoned for treason just for being in my room at night against my wishes."

Olga's eyes flashed momentarily just before Kyoshi appeared behind her.

"Olga, get back with your family," Kyoshi snapped. "And stop hurting your sister, she already knows that you're the reason she's in pain. And she already has a faint idea as to why she's in pain as well, so don't push your luck. One more toe out of line, and you're getting shipped back to your home world, no questions asked."

"I will get what's rightfully mine," Olga swore, and she followed Kyoshi away from Iroh.

"Thank you, Avatar Kyoshi," he breathed with relief.

...

Meanwhile, Anastasia felt as though something were leaving the area, as if the unseen force that had made her so violently ill was leaving. She could feel some of the pains leave her body, but what she really wanted was a way to get rid of the excess heat.

With a sudden burst of inspiration, she realized just what she needed to do, but also knew that it would have to wait until morning so Iroh could watch over her. she forced herself to go back into a very, very fitful slumber.

"How dare you attack your sister? What were you thinking?!" Alexandra yelled angrily at Olga, who stared out over the ocean towards the Fire Nation.

"He was so dreamy, mama, you should have seen him," Olga sighed as if she were in love. But her father knew better, and that this was just an infatuation with power. "He looks amazing, mama, and he's rich, too."

"How would you know?" Tatiana asked curiously, "Did you see his bank accounts?"

"No, but he has servants," Olga sighed, "He must be rich. I just don't see what he sees in Anastasia, she's a brat who keeps getting sick."

"Silence!" Nicholas yelled and jerked his oldest daughter around. "I do not care what you see in this man! You will leave him and your sister alone, and that goes for any man that your sisters fall in love with, regardless of who they are or where they come from! Do you understand?!"

"But papa, she doesn't deserve him!" Olga protested.

"Do I make myself clear?!" Nicholas repeated louder.

"She treats him like dirt!" Olga yelled, and the others paled. "She does! You should have heard some of the things that she was yelling at him! It was like she was one of the Bolsheviks!"

"How dare you compare your baby sister to a Bolshevik!" Nicholas yelled angrily and was about to strike her when Olga rammed his groin with her leg.

"Olga! You ungrateful child!" Alexandra yelled as Olga fled the area, this time to the Earth Kingdom.

She went straight to Ba Sing Sei, a place that she had heard about from some of the others. She spent the next several hours just exploring the place, and began looking around at the different sites and monuments. After a long time, she came upon the tea shop that had once belonged to General Iroh the first. She stared at it before heading off and walking away towards an extremely large building surrounded by guards, and found that there was a massive amount of chi to suck from them.

She sucked a lot of chi, small amounts from each one, and then went back to her family with a plan in mind. If her father wanted her to be last, then so be it. She put her hands on Tatiana first and channeled most of the chi within herself to her next youngest sister, and soon her hands went through Tatiana's solid form. Olga knew what this meant, and went back to Ba Sing Sei to repeat this process two more times, for her mother and Maria.

But the third time she went there, she didn't return to her father. Instead, she absorbed enough chi to make herself visible, and began to try to taunt the earthbending Earth Kingdom heir to the throne. He was soon stricken with her, and asked where she came from. She smiled, and began revealing all of her family's secrets, including that of the rest of her family being turned into airbenders by Avatar Aang's spirit.

She knew what she was doing, and she had every intention of waging a war against her sister, and even the Fire Nation if she didn't get what she wanted.


Olga seems OOC from what I've read of her on the Internet, but I needed someone new to take the fall... for the time being.

Review please!
