🔥Miozomi's POV🔥
"Two years..."
That's how long I've been with my brother as a result of him being banished from our 'great' nation to go in search of the Avatar in order for him restore his honour and also so I don't get punished, severely by my father. So far it's been countless of journeys around the world, we've seen so many wonderful places, met some people along the way who do hate us for being fire benders but that's not new for us. Now we've reached what I'm hoping is our last destination..
.The Southern Water Tribe.
Azula sometimes sends me letters about how thing are back home, nothing much has changed since I left except for the fact Father wants me back home, I'm pretty sure he wants to betrothed me to someone and I will not let that happen, I'm just eleven and I feel that I deserve a right to marry who I want to be with for the rest of my life. The letters leaves me with mixed emotions but I'm sure that I would rather stay with Zuko, but something tells me i'm in for a life changing adventure. Uncle and I are above deck playing a nice Pai Sho game which he's obviously winning at, sneaky old man, i'm gonna make him pay. He makes his next move trying to take my piece but I'm faster, I took one of his instead making him groan as I giggle.
"You are lucky I let you win this round" he said giving me a childish glare
"We'll I did learn from the best, besides you always say
'A master never allows his student accomplish things without doing it themselves'". I say in his voice which sounds ridiculous so laugh
He chuckles at my childish ways, by his expression, he was going to say something but a bright blue light goes hurling into the sky, it shines brighter than the sun on a hot summer day. Believing it could be something powerful, I try to look at it more while shielding my eyes from the bright beam, maybe it's the Avatar? Zuko's yelling at Uncle again so the possibility of it being the Avatar could happen but i suddenly felt a bit light headed, using the little strength i have left, i attempted, by myself to make it down to my room but don't get very far before my legs give in and tumbled to the ground with a loud 'bang', hitting my head hard on the floor while hearing several voices around me but i can't make out who's talking.
"Someone help us, get the healer here, now!"
"Miozomi stay awake, Mioz..." A voice calls out to me but I'm going in and out of consciousness.
After what felt like a few minutes..or hours, my eyes open slowly to the sight of myself laying on a hammock in a beautiful garden with different flowers and trees. The only odd thing is that the floor looks like soft clouds, the trees are pink and red in colour and the hammock isn't attached to anything, a bright lights shines upon my face making me cover them up with my hand. Slowly uncovering my eyes, i got down gently from the hammock into the soft puffy grass, my eyes wonder around in amazement before landing on a pair of eyes a few feet away from me but not just any eyes, the most beautiful pair of grey eyes I've ever seen in my life
'Wow'
"H-Hi" I stutter
'Really Miozomi, that's all you can say, Hi?' I thought giving myself a mental talk
"Hi pretty girl, who are you and why are you here?" The strange boy asks walking closer to me in a slow pace
"Oh i'm Mi...M-. i'm s-sorry i ca-" I try to say but can't get the words out of my mouth, it's like they're glueing themselves shut
"Wait! Where are you going?" The boy yells out to me but I look down and see myself floating away from him
He began to run after me, gesturing for me to take his hand as I try to reach for it but each time we get closer, we're pulled forcefully apart
"Mhm...mhm...ahhh!" I yell holding onto the ledge of the soft floor
"H-Hold on, I'm gonna try and help you, okay?" He pants
"Mhm" I say from lips still shut
Suddenly a huge gush of wind hits us as something forces my hand to let go of the ledge causing me to fall
"Ahhhhh!" I scream as my mouth finally opens up
"Wait! No! Bring her back mystical thing!" The boy yells as i continue screaming, wrapping my hands to hold upon my upper body in case i hit a hard surface but it doesn't come, all I feel is my beds comfortable sheets. I groan adjusting my eyes to the room
"W-What h-happened to me " I said as my voice sounds a bit raspy turning my head slowly to look around the room
"Well... you fainted after that beam of light shined, you where having a slight seizure but calmed down so Uncle suggested i gently carry you back to your room while the healer on board came to check you, we're heading straight for the southern water tribe so you might need to rest up a little more before joining me up deck " Zuko says as he kisses my forehead and walks out of the room
"Uncle Iroh, is it true?" I ask as he sits next to me
"Yes my little one, but you're fine now and that's what's matters, for now just try to get some rest" he said smiling at me before leaving as well causing me to lay back down gently on my bed, looking straight ahead with one thought in mind
'Who was that strange boy?'
🔥
After about an hour of rest i decided it was time to rejoin my brother and uncle up on the main deck. Making my way out of my room, I nod at the guards around and came in from the corner, seeing that Zuko was training, he was about to blast one of the crew members out the boat with a full fire blast when uncle stops him
"No! Power in Fire bending comes from the breathe. Not the muscles! The breathe becomes energy in the body, the energy extends past your limbs and becomes a fire" Uncle explains to him.
He demonstrated it to Zuko, releasing a controlling plume of flame that bursts in front of Zuko
"Get it right this time" Uncle hissed causing Zuko to growl in frustration, snapping at Uncle
"ENOUGH! I've been drilling this sequence all day. Teach me the next set, i'm more than ready!"
"No! you're not, your too impatient, have you not seen the progress your sister has made over the past two years, she's younger than you and come do more things if she's more focused, she also takes her time to learn the sets, have you? You are yet to master your basics prince Zuko, Drill it again!"
"Grrrrr!" Zuko tries to blast his sparing partner but he dodges the attack
"The sages told us that the Avatar is the last Airbender. He must be over a hundred years old by now. He'd had centuries to master all four elements. I'll need more than basic fire bending to defeat him. You will teach me the advanced set" Zuko hissed at Uncle
"Very well. But first i must finish my roast duck" Uncle states devouring his food while I snuck back into my room and waited patiently for us to reach our destination.
'This is going to be fun'
🔥3rd POV🔥
The ship arrived at the small water tribe, destroying their wall made out of ice, like that's not going to take a long while to build back
As the steam cleared from the top of the bowsprit, Prince Zuko, Princess Miozomi and the troupes of Fire Nation soldiers are revealed. A quick cut of Sokka trying to be the brave warrior that he is charges at Zuko. The prince orders Miozomi back to the ship to wait with her uncle, not wanting to argue she reluctantly makes her way back to the ship but hides at the corner entrance of it, away from everyone's eyes in order to witness what happens next, she is a curious young lady
Sokka was about to hit Zuko until he kicks his weapon out of his hand and kicks him in the face, sending him sprawling onto the ice and to the plank right side. His head gets stuck in the snow as he struggles to free himself. Miozomi starts to giggle at the scene, her uncle probably devouring more food
The villagers draw back in fright of what may happen next to the few of their tribe
The fire nation soldiers look intimidating as Zuko steps forward to address the villagers, he looks at the crowd before his eyes land on Katara and her Grandmother
"Where are you hiding him" he hissed
He looks again to be met with looks of confusion on the people's faces, he then grabs gran gran from Katara who struggles to get her back
"He's about this age? Master of all elements?"
"ZUKO! Unhand her! She's an old woman, they clearly don't know anything" Miozomi yells from the ship but he chose to ignore her as he continues to interrogate them
After a brief silence, he throws gran gran roughly to Katara who catches her on time before she falls, with a cry of frustration he launches a whole fire attack on the villagers head making them all cower in fear
"I know your hiding him" Zuko yelled out towards the village
Behind him is Sokka getting up, retrieving his weapon and charges at him with another cry
Zuko turns to him in annoyance and he dodges his attack and flips him over his head but Sokka rolls out of the way, throwing his trusted boomerang. Zuko turns to look back in anger at Sokka over the near miss. A little boy from the crowd throws him a spear.
"Show no fear" yelled the boy as Sokka catches it and charges at Zuko, who breaks off pieces of the spear shaft with his wrist guard. After the head of the spear has been worn off, Zuko grabs the end of the spear and uses to poke Sokka in the head as he sinks to the ground, rubbing his head
Zuko standing sternly over him. In the sky in the background the boomerang reappears and slams into Zuko's head, knocking his helmet off. Furious, Zuko begins to spit fire out of his hand until his sister runs down the ship to him and holds his hand stopping him
"Miozomi what are you doing, this is the only way we can get the Avatar and finally go home " he whisperely yelled at her but all she does is look at him with anger and frustration
"No it's not, we don't have to hurt anyone Aniki, You don't have to hurt anyone" she said as he slowly calms down
Just then Aang comes skyrocketing towards the village, his staff in hand. He flies right under Zuko and Miozomi, sweeping their legs out from under him. Zuko lands butt up while Miozomi lands in Aang's arms blushing profoundly at the sudden contact from a total stranger
'He looks familiar' Miozomi thinks looking at the young avatar
"Hey Sokka, Hey Katara" Aang greets still holding Miozomi in his arms
"Hi...Aang. Thanks for coming " Sokka says dryly while Katara just stares at the young boy
"Ummm hi? Do you think you could put me down now" Miozomi said as Aang realizes he's still holding her
"O-ooh yeah, s-sorry about that" he said dropping her and blushing, distracted by her beauty before focusing on Zuko who gets back on his feet, dragging his sister away from the Avatar while getting into a fighting stance
Aang, much to his disappointment readies his stance as he notices two guards escorting Miozomi to the ship who gives him a weak smile, Zuko takes note of his vulnerability and takes the opportunity to strike only for Aang to blow the men on either side of him backwards with blast of air. He blast Zuko as well, but he holds his ground, shielding his face from the wind
"Looking for me?" Aang asked
"Your the Airbender?" Zuko said waking in circles with the young airnomad a bit shocked before continuing "Your the Avatar?"
"Aang?" Katara said
"No way" Sokka said equally shocked
"Called it" Miozomi whispered to herself from her position at the entrance of the ship
"I've spent years preparing for this encounter, Training, Meditating, your just a child" Zuko says frustrated as he and Aang circle around slowly
"Well...your just a teenager" Aang adds in standing straight
Zuko growls before blasting fire blast upon fire blast at Aang which he successfully dodges but when he notice the flames getting too close to the villagers he quickly disarms the flames before turning a serious face at Zuko
"If I go with you, do you promise to leave these people alone" Aang ask
Zuko stands to a proper position, nodding his head in agreement
"No Aang! Don't do this!" Katara pleads with him, running up but halts a few feet away
"Don't worry Katara, I'll be okay just take care of Appa for me until I get back" he said as the Fire nation soldiers lead him to the ship roughly
"Head course for the Fire nation" Zuko said before glancing at his little sister and smiling at her, a real smile before taking her gently by the hand and leading her into the ship "We're going home"
He said happily but all she could think about was how to help the Avatar escape
'I wanna go home too Zuko but not like this, I'm sorry if you feel hurt later on but it's for your own good' Miozomi thought to herself before looking over at the sad Airbender
Aang looks down at the villagers one last time with a small smile but it soon turns to a frown upon seeing Katara shed a tear
'It's for your own good'
