🌊Banishment🌊

A/N -Shout out to oncefan for adding this to your library 💕🙏🏻 it really motivated me to write this chapter lolzs

Age: 13

After the loss of my grandfather Ozai took his place on the throne, and now that my abilities have come out from hiding over the past two years I've been through excruciating training, I've discovered that the meaning of my white flames is "beginnings, cleanliness, purity, and perfection"  I have been training with uncle and we discovered that my white flames have healing abilities but that stays between us. Oh! Did I mention my flames can change to a different color? But once again only my uncle and I know of this though if this information along with the abilities these flames carry falls into the wrong hands I can be used even though that's not stopping Ozai's plans of putting me to good use by forcing me into joining the war. I've been mentally preparing myself for battle, I don't want to hurt the innocent so once I'm shipped to war I plan to escape or fake my death. My thoughts were interrupted once I saw my brother arguing with Uncle Iroh by the entrance of the war room.

Zuko: Let me in!

Uncle Iroh: Prince Zuko, what's wrong?

Zuko: I want to go into the war chamber but the guard won't let me pass!

Uncle Iroh: You're not missing anything, trust me. These meetings are dreadfully boring.

Zuko: If I'm going to rule this nation one day, don't you think I need to start learning as much as I can?

Uncle Iroh: Very well. But you must promise not to speak. These old folks are a bit sensitive, you know?

I run up to them, "Wait! Uncle, Please allow me to join you as well." I say as I bow with respect hoping he'll allow me to.

Uncle Iroh: Alright, but the same goes for you too Y/N make sure not to speak out of turn.

Me and Zuko bow to our uncle: Thank you, Uncle.

We walk into the war room and we stick next to our uncle, Bujing starts to explain the war plans (I have no idea who Bujing is so plz go with it 😓), "The Earth Kingdom defenses are concentrated here. A dangerous battalion of their strongest earthbenders and fiercest warriors. So I am recommending the forty-first division."

Elder General: But the forty-first is entirely new recruits. How do you expect them to defeat a powerful Earth Kingdom battalion?

Bujing: I don't. They'll be used as a distraction while we mount an attack from the rear. What better to use as bait than fresh meat?

I restrain from showing a reaction because sacrificing a whole battalion?! How heartless, too many lives will be sacrificed that's too reckless. Meanwhile, I succeeded in restraining myself Zuko didn't find restraint within himself, so he stood up, "You can't sacrifice an entire division like that! Those soldiers love and defend our nation! How can you betray them!?" After Zuko's outburst, Ozai became enraged, he claimed that the act my brother had done was completely disrespectful towards the general and there was only one way to resolve this...Agni Kai. In confidence, Zuko looked upon the old general he had insulted and declared that he was not afraid. Zuko left the war room and my uncle and I followed him.

The Agni Kai was about to start I was next to my uncle and Azula but I had noticed that Azula had an eerie feeling emanating from her and I couldn't help but feel like something bad was going to take a turn of events. As Zuko prepares for the Agni Kai I see Ozai step onto the platform, not the general my heart jumps out of my chest just as Zuko turns to notice the same thing I just did, when my brother saw that it was Ozai who had come to duel him, he begged for mercy as Ozai continued to advance on him ignoring his plea, "You will fight for your honor" Ozai states. My brother kneels on his knees and forearms while looking at the floor. "I meant you no disrespect. I am your loyal son." I look towards Ozai again, "Rise and fight, Prince Zuko!"

Zuko: I won't fight you.

Ozai: You will learn respect

Zuko pushes himself up on his knees and hands he starts to shake and tears stream down his face

Ozai: suffering will be your teacher.

Zhao, Iroh, Azula, and I were in the crowd. Iroh clenches his teeth and looks fearful and worried on Zuko's behalf, Zhao looks on with a smirk on his face, while Azula smiles and raises her left fist in front of her chest in anticipation. My uncle then looks away. Adrenaline rushes through my veins and I go between my bother and Ozai, as the pain of flames hits my back tears stream down my face as I stare at my brother in shock, it only lasts for a couple of seconds as my attempt to protect my brother became useless as Ozai throws me to the side and burns my brothers face I couldn't do anything no longer as the pain then caused me to pass out.

A Day Later:

Due to the pain, I woke up with blurred vision but as my eyes came to a focus I saw my uncle...and next to him was Ozai.

Ozai: Since you have decided to display betrayal by going against my wishes to the court you will join your dishonorable brother in the search for the Avatar and only when you find the Avatar and return him to Fire Nation will you prove your loyalty to my nation till then you are BANISHED. You will be leaving later on tonight.

A couple hours later:

As I step into the ship with wrappings around my back to help with my burns along with my brother who had wrappings across his right side of his face, aaaandddd the forty-first division I take one last look at the fire nation...GOOD RIDDANCE

There goes my plans for freedom...
