The Dragon Guardian (Zuko x Reader)

The Siege of the North Part 2

Previously on Avatar...

"You're alive!"
"I'm here, (Y/N), I'm here."

"I suppose you speak from experience. But rest assured, this will be nothing like your legendary failure of Ba Sing Se.
"I hope not for your sake."
"He had a good reason to give up. But of all people you wouldn't understand. You don't know what if feels like to lose someone. Or am I wrong?"

"I don't need your wisdom right now, Uncle.
"I'm sorry. I just nag you because ... Well, ever since I lost my son ... I think of you as my own.
"I know, Uncle. We'll meet again. After I have the Avatar."

"Be careful!"
"I will, (Y/N)."

I love you (Y/N)!

"Well aren't you a big girl now."
"No."
"Yes. Hand him over, and I won't have to hurt you."

"You rise with the Moon. I rise with the Sun."

"Where did they go?"
"Prince Zuko must have walked up the ice wall."

"What are you doing here?"

(Y/N) POV

"I can't believe I lost him.", Katara said.
"You did everything you could, Katara, and now we need to do everything we can to get him back.", I reassured her.
"Zuko can't have gotten far. We'll find him. Aang's gonna be fine.", Sokka declared.
"Okay."
She stood up going to Appa and climbed on. I stayed with Aang's lemur.
"It's all right. You stay here, Momo, in case Aang comes back.", she said to him,"Are you coming, (Y/N)?"
"What?"
"No way. She's not coming with us.", Sokka growled.
"Sokka, she's on our side!", Katara said.
Sokka wanted to say something but he hesitated.
"If you still don't trust me, you can play it safe and tie me up.", I declared.
He climbed off from Appa and walked to me.
"Aang and Katara told me how you helped us. If they trust you so should I.", he said.
"Ok, then let's go. We mustn't wast any time.", I nodded.
We climbed on Appa, Katara, the princess and I on the saddle, Sokka on his head holding the reins.
"Yip, yip.", he ordered.
We flew up towards the snow storm.

Zuko's POV

I continued walking through the snow storm with the Avatar on my back. Then suddenly the snow cracked beneath me. I quickly ran when the ice behind me started to crack more and more. I jumped in safety then I saw a cave before me.

"Shelter."
I dragged the Avatar by his collar into the cave and bound his hands behind his back with rope. He was still in his Avatar state.

(Y/N) POV

We kept looking but the snow storm made it difficult. We had landed. We found an abyss in the ice.
"It can't be. Prince Zuko would never give up. They must be here somewhere.", I declared.

Please be alright! Both of you!

Zuko's POV

I rubbed my hands together the breathed fire on them.

"I finally have you. But I can't get you home because of this blizzard. There's always something. Not that you would understand. You're like my sister. Everything always came easy to her. She's a firebending prodigy, and everyone adores her. My father says she was born lucky. He says I was lucky to be born. I don't need luck, though. Because I already have it with (Y/N). I've always had to struggle and fight, and that's made me strong. It's made me who I am. You should meet (Y/N). She's amazing, brave, self confident and has a heart of gold. She does everything to protect those she loves. That's why I love her."
