The Dragon Guardian (Zuko x Reader)

The Avatar Returns

(Y/N) POV

Prince Zuko and I are in his chamber. I was watching how the servants dressed him in his Fire Nation armour. Just as the helmet got put on his head, he turned towards me.
"Are you ready, (Y/N)?"
I was really nervous.

Zuko's POV

"Are your ready, (Y/N)?"
I looked at her. She seemed nervous.
"Are you alright?"
"Is it normal to be nervous? I mean this is going to be my very first real fight.", (Y/N) mentioned looking at me.
I gave her a smile.
"It is okay to be nervous. I was also nervous on my first. Everything will be fine (Y/N).", I reassured taking her shoulders.

(Y/N) POV

I took a deep breath.
"Okay, then let's do it.", I said.

We were below deck infront of the ramp. I looked at Prince Zuko who had a determined face.
"Prince Zuko, before we go down the ramp, do you promise to not hurt the people from the village?", I pleaded.
He looked at me and nodded.

I heard how the ship was going through the ice. Then it stopped and the ramp went down. I saw the villagers how they cuddled together in fear. Prince Zuko and I went down first, the soldiers behind us.
Suddenly a boy in warrior face paint ran to us with a club about to strike us down but Prince Zuko prevented it by kicking the boy away so that the boy fell in the snow on the side.

We went the rest of the ramp down. Now we were standing in front of the villagers.

"Where are you hiding him?", he asked.
I looked at a girl who is hugging an older woman probably her grandmother.
Prince Zuko grabbed her at the hood of her parka.
"He'd be about this age, master of all elements.", he motioned.
I went to him and took his hand off the hood.
"Prince Zuko, what did we agree?", I signaled.

I grabbed the old woman gently by her arms and brought her back to the girl who immediately hugged her. Suddenly Prince Zuko shot fire at them to scare them.
"I know you're hiding him!", he snapped.

Then we heard a cry. The boy ran at us again with the club, his face paint smudged from the snow about to strike again but Prince Zuko ducked in time. The boy soared in the air and fell in front of his people. Prince Zuko shot fire at him but avoided it and threw his boomerang at Prince Zuko and I. We dodged it seeing how it disappeared in the clouds. Prince Zuko growled at him.

A little boy threw a spear at the boy:
"Show no fear!"
The boy caught it running at us again with it.

Before it reached us, Prince Zuko broke the first part with his forearms, took it, tapped the boy 3 times on the forehead making him fall and broke the rest in two throwing it on the sides.
