Untold Story

~7~

I woke up early and those guards who were awake and up doing there job during the night got there much needed rest after there position were taken over. I waited till they returned I didn't do much during the wait, but I made sure the guards were ok had some of them train.

They returned around the afternoon, I walked over to them, "nothing to report while you were gone," I said, he nodded and thanked me. He again took charge setting to the north pole knowing he'll need a proper water bending teacher.

Week's later

I knocked on Zuko's door "Zuko," I said. I have been practicing to create my own flame and have been getting better. Iroh was next to me, I heard a faint come in, from him. I opened the door and saw him looking at the map haven't saw any sight from them so we only continued to the north, He did turn to look at me Iroh closed the door behind us.

"is everything okay?" Zuko asked confused.

"as preposterous as it sounds I can bend Fire," I said I honestly didn't know how to tell him. He had a puzzled look on his face.

"but you have been bending water ever since I known you," He said. I sighed and created a flame on my hand, his face changed quickly.

"I was training a few weeks ago with Shio, she used some firebending I managed to block some hit's but one snuck by and was going to hit me but all I felt was intense energy as the fire dissipated around my hand. Shio talked to Iroh he placed a flame on my hand and it kept burning. After you and Iroh left to find the Avatar with the help of the shirshu and the girl who own's it. I meditated and some how traveled to the Spirit world and talked to one spirt that has taken an interest in me." I said, at this point  the flame went away in my hand.

"the spirt said I had the ability to use both," I said. The look on his face he looked like he didn't believe it.

"You needed to know the truth Prince Zuko, she is your friend," Iroh said then walked out of the room leaving us alone.

"are you going to be okay?" he asked. "no one has been able to bend more then one besides the avatar," he asked.

"I'll be fine, it just takes more energy to bend both at once, I'll only bend water, fire if I'm needed to, I can only bend two element's, so you don't have to worry about handing me in as the avatar, he still exist," I said to reassure him. 

Night came around, Zuko stayed in his room annoyed a little. He dose need to unwind everyone on the ship dose, sailing the sea for years Iroh had a great Idea with some music nights. "Hello Waterbender," I turn to see Zhao.

"Admiral," I said coldly and turn away to face the direction my whole body faced. I didn't really speak to him some how he would twist my words around just to have a lame excuse to use is fire against me.

"what bring's you on the ship?" Iroh asked being kind.

"I'm take the crew, even the water bender, it would be useful to have one on our side against them, and I would like you as second in command," Zhao said looking at Iroh.

"No thank you," Iroh said they kept talking.

"I'm not joining you in attacking the water tribe," I said and I stood up. not exactly eye level with him but I stood my ground.

"of course you would say that you may be born in the fire nation but you were an outcast when you could stop the rain from falling, you have no place to be on a fire navy ship or the fire nation. we don't deserve someone as weak as you," he said. it took every fiber of my being to not hurt him.

"goodbye Zhao," I said and walked away from him. I heard footstep's walking toward me and suddenly push me into a wall in the corridor, of course it would be Zhao.he headed to Zuko's room, Iroh apologized to me quickly making sure I was okay. We followed Zhao well Iroh followed him I just walked with Iroh. 

Iroh opened the door, "for the last time i'm not playing the tsungi horn!" Zuko said.

"no, it's about our plans, there's a bit of a problem," Iroh said, Zhao step in front of him.

"I'm taking your Crew," Zhao started, "I've recruited them for a little expedition to the North Pole," he continued.

"Uncle is that true?" Zuko asked as if in disbelief.

"I'm afraid so. He's taking everyone, even the cook," Iroh said.

"not everyone," I said coldly then he walked away stared at me while he did before paying attention where he walked. I almost wished he walking in to a door or a wall. he walked away along with all the crew that was on the ship, Me, Iroh, and Zuko were the only people on this ship. Zuko frustrated closed his door me and Iroh looked at each other.

"What now?" I asked him.

"while we're here maybe you could find a waterbending master?" Iroh suggested.

"ya like we can just sail the ship to the front doors of the northern water tribe, it's not like there was a major war or anything," I said sarcastically. I read Iroh's face, "Sorry just still a bit mad with Zhao's present's on the ship, but really we can't just show up there and demand someone to teach me waterbending," I said.

"there's a smaller boat you can use, you're a waterbender and are not a full master it is not likely that you will find another chance in a while," Iroh said I sighed and thought about it for a while. Iroh left me alone I went to my room and sighed 'your right,' I said quietly. I dressed for the cold weather and packed a few thing's for the trip. I walked to Zuko's room and knocked on it.

I waited and he opened the door, "I'm heading out," I said.

"I thought you weren't going with Zhao?" he asked.

"I'm not, I'm going to the northern water tribe to find a master to teach me," I said. "Iroh made a good point I'm not going to get another opportunity like this in a while or at all," I said. "I wanted you to know before I go," I said he smiled genuinely.

"okay,"he said and that was that I walked away I knew he wanted to say more but couldn't find the words to. I got on the small boat lowered it down and bended the water to the northern waters. 

The current and me bending the water moved the boat quickly, it only took 2 day's from were we were set up to reach here. Night is when I arrived I saw a small area where the glacier sloped down to meet the water. I grabbed what I had on the boat to find this tribe. I was cold and found a cave I set walked there and created a fire to warm me up. 

"tomorrow I'll look, right now it's freezing out," I said to my self. near the fire I had my backpack and used it as a pillow to prop myself up. I sighed, alone with my thought's mostly about this war once again. 'I wanted to know the full ability of bending water, then what which side do I fight against? if the fire nation won then Ozi would have control of everything, the fire nation would have proven there power and cast the rest of us as weak,' I thought.

'fighting against the war, what would that do? the Avatar is alive so that's a good thing, I guess.' I thought and sighed. "maybe it's a good thing Zuko and Zhao haven't succeed in capturing him because he's ending the war the right way, should I fight on there side?" I asked out loud.
