Fire Queen

Chapter: 8

I walked down the aisle, the crowd parted, everyone was looking at me, but it doesn't matter only thing mattered was that his golden eyes were digging into me, nothing mattered, no one mattered, we were all alone in that minute, that smile of his returned to his face it made me wonder, is that smile only for me, because whenever we make eye contact it appears out of no were, yes I own up to that, that little smile is mine all mine,

"Are you sure you want to do this?" my brother asked, it made me break the eye contact, it brings me back to reality we aren't alone, "Yes, there is no going back now" I whispered back,

I turned around to look at him and he seems to be talking to Avatar Aang and Sokka, he is wearing our traditional robe, I am not going to lie I like white on him way better than red, his friends are standing next to him

While uncle is standing on my side, of course, he showed up, he can't miss me going away, Grandma is standing on the temple stairs, there is a spiral going around on the ground in the middle, this is where we get married we have our way to get married,

I walked up to him, he turned my way, there that smile I own, my brother kissed my forehead and went to stand next to my uncle,

"You look Beautiful" He commented, "Thank you, my lord, this gown suits you" I replied, his smile got bigger,

"You ready?" he asked, "As ready as I will ever be" I replied, I am lying I am not ready at all, what if I run, where will I run to though?

"Now that bride is with us we should start the ritual" my grandma got everyone's attention, I looked around the crowed and Jiang and Kai was standing there on the side, he was looking at me, he had tears, I haven't seen him cry in so long, maybe on his father's death a year ago,

I smiled at him, he turned around and left, he left, it's probably for the better, I didn't want him to see this too, Kai went to follow him, at least they will have each other,

I turned my attention back to him, "Do you know how this works?" I asked him, because he looked a little confused, by the circles on the ground, "I will be lying if I said I do"

"These circles are oils, each side of us is where it starts I will flame my side and you will your side, our fire will go round in circles and then clash in the middle, and become one, we believe that's how to individuals become one when fire within them become one, then we will promise on fire within us, that we will give each other Love, Respect, trust, and loyalty, what are four pillars of marriage in our tradition" I explained to him, he looked to focus on trying to understand, he puts his hand on his chin,

"Then we will hold our combined fire and went in to temple and put it the goblet for it to be blessed by dragon spirit"

"That's interesting, do you believe we will become one after combining our fires?" he asked,

"Well I am not sure what I believe but I do love this tradition" he nodded,

"Having second thoughts?" I asked, "No I am ready" he replied without wasting a second, but I am not, or maybe I am,

"come in the middle of the circle" Grandma ordered, we did, I stood on one side, him on the other, "Lit your fires" she continued, I lit mine on right and he lit his on left, the fire spread fast around the circles there are four circles two of mine and two of his,

His Dark orange and mine almost white combined in the middle of us, large flames emerged, he didn't take a step back neither did I, when our flames combine it forms light orange like the sky at sunrise, my favorite time, this is beautiful, we both are standing in the middle of the circles as our fire combine in the middle, he seems to be too focused on the fire but I am focused on him,
