Avatar: Macai's Journey

Chapter 51: The Next Solistice

After the fall of Ozai's Dynasty, several Fire Nation administration leaders, generals, and admirals were subject to new global trials. To the dismay of several Fire Nation nationals, Firelord Zuko endorsed these actions and supported the proposition. General Mak dispatched several Fire Nation troopers to apprehend several senior officials from the past administration, but several of them escaped. One of these generals was Macai's father, Eyre.

It has now been a month and Eyre still hasn't been sighted. Furthermore, several of Ozai's loyalists have plotted assassination attempts and mounted underground political attacks against the new Firelord. In a loyalist hideout within the Capital, two men stand outside of a two-story building with grey paint and bright red markings. The guards are wearing black uniforms with red markings.

Guard one: "Wow, Zuko is such a disgrace. To think, they would make a traitor the leader of the Fire Nation."

Guard two: "Have you heard?"

Guard one: "What?"

Guard two: "Many cell leaders from throughout the nation are creating a team of well-trained assassins to execute Zuko and stage a coup. I don't know the details and the plan is still early in progress from what I know."

Guard one: "That will be amazing, then we can reinstate Ozai."

Guard two: "Without his bending, he won't be the same fighter, but his mentality will never disappear and that's what matters."

Guard one: "Speak for yourself, I think we need a new leader. I don't know if Ozai will mentally recover from his loss."

The second guard puts his hands on his hips, "Are you kidding me? Ozai has an unbreakable will; nothing will stop his ascension and now he will be bent on revenge. He is the only one who can restore this nation to its former glory." A girl in a dark green dress, black armor, white and red markup, brown hair, and a green and gold headplate leaps from a rooftop behind the first guard. This girl also has a small nose, medium lips, and round eyes.

The girl hits the man in the center of his back, an odd-sounding pop occurs and the guard falls forward. The second guard backpedals as his comrade collapses. He looks forward and sees a Kyoshi warrior. The girl leaps aand kicks the man in his face. The second guard passes out from the blow and the Kyoshi warrior knocks on the door.

On the other side of the door, there is a room full of Ozai's Remnant forces engaged in a political discussion. The walls are dark red, the ceiling is light brown, the floor is dark grey, there are two large black couches, a clock, and a long bookshelf in the room. Most of them are older officers who served under Ozai in the past. A man with a grey beard, medium-length hair, sharp ears, a pointy nose, gold eyes, and pale skin hears the knocking. His name is Major Kazenko. Kazenko: "Check it out Yedanis."

A tall man and bulky man in his mid-thirties with a receding black hairline walks toward the door. Yedanis, has bronze skin, a thick nose, relatively large lips, attached ears, a heavy jaw, and thin eyebrows. Yedanis has a strong voice, "Who knocks?"

Kyoshi Warrior: "A friend?" The loyalists' eyebrows raise as they hear an unfamiliar voice. Yedanis looks out the peephole and sees the Kyoshi warrior.

A younger loyalist member in his twenties asks, "Who is it Yedanis?" Two widows burst open and two female Kyoshi warriors leap through them. The Kyoshi warriors toss knives into loyalists. A loyalist screams as he is stuck in his chest. Kazenko enters his battle stance and pumps a long orange flame at the Kyoshi warrior right of his position.

The girl leaps right as she evades the flame and the front door is kicked open. Yedanis turns to notice the brown-haired warrior. Yedanis smiles, "I'm going to crush you, you aren't fit for fighting."
