Swords Crossed Chapter 2     The Royal Fire Academy for Girls was everything Mai had expected it to be.  Uniformity, as indicated by its bland title, seemed to be key.  The building itself was ornately decorated, as was custom for prestigious Fire Nation structures.  There was a slanted roof adorned with red tiles and several gold columns supported the whole thing.  But everything here had a purpose.  If the doors were extra wide and embossed with a design of a dragon it was done to honor tradition.  Dragons were the first Firebenders, after all.  For some reason the school reminded Mai of her own home.       There was still some time be

Swords Crossed Chapter 1     The party was in full swing and everyone was having a fun time. Mai stood next to her mother, impeccably dressed in clothing suitable for a noble girl.  Her silk, red robes were new and her hair was adorned with red bows. She was too young for makeup and her pale skin and dark hair were striking enough as it was. Mai looked like a mirror image of her mother.       Mai knew she looked like some sort of porcelain doll but didn't care.  This was the first "grown-up" party her mother was letting her attend and she was dying for something to do. Perhaps something here would be worth her time.       "Mai." Her m

Killing You Slowly     "I'm going to be the one who kills her, understand?" Ladd declared, gesturing to the freak in front of him.  What kind of guy believes the world revolves around him anyway?     "I see." The blood covered man replied.  "You're going to jump off this train of your own free will."  Ridiculous! Ladd wanted to shout.  Why would he do that? There were plenty of people that still needed to die! Suddenly he became aware of Lua struggling to reach the top of the train.       "What the hell are you doing Lua?!" He screamed.  Dammit, why did she have to follow him up here? She would only get in the way and this fight was go

Sacrifice for Harmony     Aang sighed deeply and tried to concentrate.  He needed to meditate on this problem if he was going to do something about it.  As harsh as Toph's words had been Aang knew that she was right about this.  Aang had to admit that his friend was becoming wiser as the years went by.  It was hard to believe that four years had passed already since Ozai's defeat.  Saving the world didn't mean that Aang no longer had problems to face, however.  Politically things had been unstable in the first few years.  The nations were beginning to heal and trust in each other again.  There was still much to be accomplished though.    

Pain     All Zuko could feel was searing pain.  He gasped and the slight motion caused him to go into a spasm.  It was a thousand times more painful then when he had received his scar but it didn't matter.  All that mattered right now was that Katara was safe.  He rolled onto his stomach and reached for her as if expecting her to be there.     Katara was fighting his insane sister and he could no longer help her.  Zuko could see her running; could see Azula attempting to hit her with lightning.  Please Spirits help Katara now. He prayed.  Azula was incredibly dangerous and unpredictable-did Katara even stand a chance? oOoOoO     Katara

Changes     Of course things would change when Zuko joined the group.  Katara just never realized how much Zuko would change her.   oOoOoO     The first person affected was, of course Aang.  He had traveled with Zuko to find the Firebending masters and they seemed to have bonded during their mission.  Aang looked up to Zuko and seemed to respect him.  If anyone in the group needed to discipline Aang it was Zuko who did.       "You need to practice your Firebending more."  He would say in a stern voice.  Aang would always listen too, though he did grumble about it.  How come Aang never listened to her instructions?  One day Katara thoug

A Late Night Confession It was already night as they made their way back to their current hideout. The play had been awful and mostly everyone's spirits were down except perhaps Toph's. Katara honestly was not all that surprised to see a hurt Aang retreat to his room for the night. Katara sighed to herself. Everything was so complicated now because of that stupid play. She blushed furiously when she remembered the scene her actress had shared with the Zuko actor. It wasn't her fault at all; they were just actors! And nothing like that had occurred during her brief imprisonment with Zuko. So Katara was somewhat surprised that Aang overreacte
