The Second Avatar Book 1: Water

Chapter 13: The South Pole

I was posing as a fire nation guard just like Zuko. I do not know how long it took Uncle to figure it out, not to mention Zuko was not happy with seeing me again.

Zuko "Why is she hiding with me, Uncle? She should be locked up for being with the Avatar."

I said, "Are you thinking so small, Prince Zuko? I'm a water bender. I can get us into the north pole."

Iroh "She's not wrong Zuko may be getting help from your enemy would be a good idea, plus it would make me feel better knowing your safe with her, Zuko."

Zuko "Fine, but only this one time, and once we are in, we never speak of this ever again do I make myself clear."

I said, "Of course Prince Zuko."

We wait until it is the right time to leave and pack our things, knowing full well nothing would get wet, and I made sure to pack my formal clothes to change once I got there. It is almost nighttime, and Zuko and I are getting ready to leave when Iroh comes in looking worried for us.

Iroh "If you are fishing for an octopus, my nephew, you need a tightly woven net, or he will squeeze through the tiniest hole and escape."

Zuko "I don't need your wisdom right now, Uncle."

Iroh "I'm sorry, I just nag you because well' ever since I lost my son..."

Zuko "Uncle, you don't have to say it."

Iroh "I think of you as my own."

Zuko "I know, Uncle."

I said, "Do you? I'm not sure you do Prince Zuko."

Zuko "Shut up, traitor."

Zuko "We'll meet again after I have the avatar."

Iroh "Remember your breath of fire it could save you lives there."

Zuko and I "I will."

Zuko lowers us down, and I waterbend the water around us, and we jump in together with Zuko holding onto me from behind, and I get us to a small opening and get us to and a vent where no one could see us.

Zuko "Thank you for getting me here. I'm sure you didn't..."

I said, "Turn around and don't look until I tell you to."

Zuko "Excuse me?"

I said, "You heard me right. I told you a Prince to turn around and not to look until I said so I didn't stutter when I am here, I am to look like a Princess, so I have to change now do as I say and turn around."

He did as I told him, and I start getting changed; after finally getting changed, I put my tiara on and tell him to could turn back around.

I said, "I will pretend you are not here for now but know I have my eyes on you, so don't get in my way if you do, I will not hesitate to hurt you even if Uncle is watching now, I will take my leave goodbye, Prince Zuko."

I was making my way over to the center to see Aang enter the spirit world, and there she was, my cousin Yue.

I said, "Yue, it's been too long; how have you been? You look all grown up, and is that what I think that is around your neck?"

Yue comes running to me, hugging me making me fall on the ground, causing us both to laugh together, and I look to the side to see Katara.

I said, "Katara, I've missed you too; how's learning water bending going here?"

Katara "You know getting a heads up about the customs would have been better, but I smoothed it out nonetheless."

I said, "You were always headstrong. I knew you would get in none the less I'm very proud of you; I'm sure you and I can now fight on an even playing field."
