The Princess and the Peasant - (An Azula Epic)

Cruelty and Wickedness

On the caldera pathway.

Team Azula walked up the slope after Silah with their eyes gazing after the woman's cloaked back with even more disgust than before.

The only one among them who wasn't gazing at Silah in complete hatred was young Elle herself.

Only for the four to find themselves gazing on in returning wariness when Silah came to a sudden stop without warning once more.

As the three highborn women watched with suspicious expressions in their eyes as the puppeteer turned to gaze down over the ledge as if something had caught her attention once more.

Azula now glared back at Silah with the patience in her golden eyes having long since faded away.

"Could you possibly walk any slower?" Azula demanded in a frigidly irate voice as she stared venomously back at Silah's sunlit face as the puppeteer turned to glance back at her.

She never once backed down as she stared unflinchingly back into Silah's twisted dark green eyes.

As Zoi also stood her ground staring stonily back into Silah's disturbing eyes.

Ty Lee found herself shivering in fear yet again with Elle also standing in intimidation beside her.

"I realize that you are unable to comprehend this, Azula, as your lifespan is little more than a flickering flame but I will explain it to you anyway. When you become ageless like I am, time no longer has any meaning. I have all the time in the world and you don't." Silah stated in a frighteningly conceited voice as she stared back into the princess's boiling golden eyes.

The two firebenders glare furiously back at their seemingly ageless enemy with loathing in their eyes.

As Elle and Ty Lee listened to Silah's unnerving words in ever present disbelief.

"We could spend twenty years walking down this pathway and I wouldn't age a single day. By the time we conclude, you and your two subordinates will be what lesser beings call 'middle-aged' and I will still look exactly as I do now." Silah taunted in a deliciously horrifying voice with her predating eyes gazing back at the stunned faces of her enemies.

She savored each and every moment of the way that the princess tried to keep up her emotionless facade as if she was not bothered by her words.

And that was all it took for the four members of Team Azula to stand there in a state of trepidation once more.

As Azula and Zoi glared defiantly back at Silah's pale smirking lips as she let out another malicious chuckle.

'How is it that this wretch can live as long as Mava and not show the slightest sign of aging? She must have altered her body somehow...but how?' Azula thought as she stared coldly back into the hunter's eyes as Silah still smirked back at her.

"And now that I know that it pisses you off. I am going to walk even slower." Silah commented in a voice casual mockery as she turned to gaze back over the edge of the pathway while the princess glared a hole through the back of her skull.

Only for Azula to put one boot forward to exercise her royal authority as she stared callously back at the other woman's flowing silver head.

"No. You will not. We have walked far enough. We will talk here." Azula snapped in a severely imperious voice with her fists at her hips while she loomed over her young girlfriend's trembling face.

The two noblewomen glared back at Silah with their gazes burning in agreement as she still stood with their back turned to them.

As Zoi took note that Silah was staring down at yet another noble mansion as she scowled back at the woman.
