Zukos POV:
It's been weeks since the Seige on the Northern Watertribe and I can't get that watertribe pesaent out of my head!  And not for the reason you think!

What did she do to me!?  I couldbt control my own limbs!  How is that possible!  And she was hurt and not in any kind of stance!

I was sitting in my room thinking when I hear my door open

Iroh: Prince Zuko you haven't come out of your room all day, why don't you join me on deck for some calming tea?

Zuko: Uncle, how many times do I have to tell you I don't need any tea!

Iroh: Don't need tea!?  Nonsense!

Uncle pulled me out of room and onto the deck, once there I noticed the crew all drinking tea and laughing

Crew member: Prince Zuko, would you like to join us for a drink?

At this point they had all stood up and waited for my reply

Zuko: Actually Lee I was just coming up to-

Iroh: He would love to!

I glare at Uncle and then sit down while Lee pours me a cup of steaming gingsang tea, Uncles favorite.

Lee: So Prince Zuko your Uncle was telling us how you are transfixed on that watertribe pesaent girl, why?  If you don't mind my asking

Zuko: Actually I do mind-

Iroh: He wants to know how the girl controlled his body without being in any kind of stance or even standing up

Lee: I have heard of one other individual who could do what you are describing, my grandfather told me a story about a water ended from the Southern Watertribe who was captured who spent years locked up in a cell away from water.....

I stare at him....fascinated

Lee: It all happened so fast, he said he and his friend were on patrol and all at once it felt like a hand had grabbed his vein and pulled it like a puppet string, when he tried to fight it it was painful, finally he saw the prisoner walk away....free....he couldn't move....he couldn't breath.....he was petrified....it took him years to tell my grandmother and my father what had happened....this is a man who went on dragon hunts and was never afraid......he said he still sees her, and that it haunts him to this day.....every day.

We all just sit quietly....no body saying a word

Zuko: Did anyone ever learn her name?

Lee: There are only whispers but i have heard a name over and over again when I asked about the situation.....

We also listened with baited breath.....hanging on every word that dripped from his mouth....

Lee: Hama
