Chapter 20 A predestined path

Azula(pov)
It had been roughly four days that they had spend up training in camp. For days since, she took a hot and warm bath, since she slept on her bed. No matter how adapt, she was at surviving in the wild. She couldn't bring herself to be away from her silken sheets and the mouth watering food that shoto cooked for her for too long. Oh speaking of the food, made her more and more hungry. Even back in the palace, shoto managed make food that was greater then some of chiefs that were employed. All that to say that she missed her home.

As she was going down the shortest treck back home. From there it would take about 20 minutes more and she would be home. But when she found that the path was blocked. She cursed underneath her breath, as she stared down at the path that was blocked by gigantice blouders, rock and dirt. All the dreams she had of returning home was crushed quite literally. "Any suggestions sokka ?" Azula asked as her patience was wearing thin underneath her calm exterior.

"Unless you can burn all these blouders down to ashes. We are gonna have to take a longer route to get there." Sokka replied sarcastically. Azula gave a frustrated. 'This peasent was luckily that I have more patient then before.' She thought to herself. She briefly considered his suggestion and burning down all the boulders and rocks. While she could technically it wouldn't be wise for her do so in a dry woodland area.

She saw him bringing out a piece of parchment from his bag. He then opened it, which revealed a map. "We are currently here. So we have currently three options." Sokka said to her. "This path leads directly to a forest that is infested with monitor snakes, viper rats and many many more animals that won't think twice to end us with their posion and venom." Azula pointed out. "Okay two opitions then." Sokka settled on.

"This one right down east leads to a valley that'll cause us to fall right to our deaths. Which have sprawling animals ready to pick our corposes clean." Azula told him. "Okay we have one option." Sokka settled. "Yeah a forest that's mostly filled with wild platypus bears ready to curve meat right off our bones." Azula remarked. "Well you're not leaving me with much options." Sokka argued.

"No I am leaving you with the exact three opitions. What I am doing is telling how all three can lead us more likely you to your demise. So pick your posion." Azula retorted to him while she gave an eye roll. "Fine we go with the third opition." Sokka said while mentaly slapping his fore head. "Nothing like getting attacked by platypus bears am I right ?" Sokka said as a poor attempt at making a joke. "Yes it's gonna be fun being cut apart by feral animals. Atleast it's not pirates like last time. That was annoying." Azula remarked to him.

And thus the treck began, they took the longest route to get back home. They walked for roughly two hours. To Azula it wasn't much, being trained by master Piandao meant that she was trained to be athletic, have great endurance and among other things having a great stamina. But the same couldn't be said for the watertribe boy. "Slow down." Sokka said in between breaths as he carried to massive bag. Azula scoffed and turned around looking at the watertribe peasent that was now drenched in his own sweat. While he drew sharp breaths. "Seriously we only walked like 12 miles and your already this tired." Azula said tone full of condescension. 

"LISTEN! Not everyone of us are born with inhumane physically capabilities. Besides that point, I am the one who's carrying the baggage here. So can we please stop !?" Sokka begged. Azula rolled her eyes, 'Why did she had to stuck with him ? He's more demanding then zuzu. But more incapable, at least zuzu can do certain things better then her.' Which she will never confess to him.

"Fine." Azula said. And they decided to take rest underneath a tree. Sokka took a breather, while Azula had bored expression on her face. She looked around for something anything to keep her mind preoccupied. While she waited for sokka to be ready to move again. Just when she had decided that this was going to be the most boring day of her life.
