Chapter 10

First person, Percy's perspective

"I don't care"

"You don't care?" Pakku said, confused.

"I have my priorities straight, Pakku, I won't put the fate of the world at risk because the Avatar is traveling with someone from the same place as me, who I might only know from dinner parties, gossip, and gatherings," I said.

"Oh well, you're right of course. Anyways, you will be staying somewhere on the outskirts of the city, I don't care where, just nowhere where you could be traced, where you are to wait for instructions from Iroh," Pakku said.

Next day

Honestly, I think Iroh and Pakku meant for me to stay at an inn, but once on a demigod quest, always camping in strange, unseen spots.

This morning I was awoken by a hawk dropping a letter on my face. Trust me, these fingers weren't the only birds flipped.

Meet me at the port at 8 pm, we have something important to do

-General T.

My instructions from Iroh came. I've heard he refers to himself as General T. when he isn't sure of direct communication, but haven't seen it for myself because I've always lived with people who are very important and have procured great security.

I wonder why he said 8pm, that time system is used nowhere in this world. I wonder if he knows, I wouldn't be surprised, Iroh knows all. He's worse than some of the more eavesdropping gods

8pm

I saw a robed figure that I assumed to be Iroh and came up to him.

"This journey will send you places you don't want to be and make you like somebody you don't want to be," Said Iroh.

"I wish I could tell you more and not be so vague, but to do so would put many in danger. Still, I feel horrible to not be able to warn you fully of how bad you are going to feel about this," He said.

"I will do anything for our goal, Uncle Iroh," I said, with not one ounce of joking in my tone.

He smiled, small tears in his eyes.

"Oh how you've grown up," he said.

"Or should I say General T.," I said.

"Without growing at all, Prince of the Sea."

Wow does this chapter have a lot of time skips

It had been a while since Iroh and I disembarked on our journey and we finally saw land... and hundreds of warriors cladden in red and gold with spears in hand.

When we got closer they dropped their spears and yelled to the others around them:

"It's Iroh!"

"He's here!"

They didn't seem to mind me, to them I was a friend of a friend.

Iroh asked something of them and at first they seemed hesitant, but a lot of begging and promises of great tea made them agree.

I was asked to do random tasks, apparently there was a candle on top of the mountain that needed lighting. I didn't want to be rude, but that was a weird question to ask of a guest.

Up on top there were very judgy dragons. Who do they think they are, the judges of the afterlife? I sassed them to stop judging me and they told me to dance for them? Who do they think I am, dancing for strangers?

But once they started dancing I felt like the odd one out so I started too and then I created fire out of.. somewhere... that was neither my hands, feet, nor mouth. This situation was so embarrassing to me that I don't like to think about it and this is my first time talking about it and that is why I'm trying to explain it as fast as possible.

"Did you produce fire?" Iroh asked.

"Yep," I said sadly, not just because of the hot gas.

A/N I know it's bad and took forever. 

School has started everyone how are you doing?

this is  your daily reminder to:

1) Drink Water

2) Get outside (even when you want to hiss at the sunlight like a vampire)

3) Be nice to yourself (you're awesome)

4) TREAT YO SELF

5) don't drink TOO much coffee (targeted at myself lol)

I've been thinking about this one story in my head for a while now and I've been having trouble making characters for the story (especially because I want to add diversity, but as a straight white woman with anxiety I'm EXTREMELY anxious about getting it wrong) so can you PLEASE HELP ME WITH CHARACTER IDEAS AND HOW TO CHARACTERIZE THEM ACCORDING TO THEIR IDENTITY

I need a:

Dumb but courageous young woman who tries her darndest to be a good person but constantly fails (at the start)

mechanic/engineer that is a people person

twin a fighter, big and strong, fights with axe

twin b fighter, super duper short, creates and uses cool weapons to fight

other person a (anything)

other person b (anything)

Sorry for a long author's note but please read it'll help me a lot.

Make sure to take care of yourselves dearies <3
