Lei, granddaughter of the late Azula, has been trained as a firebender since she was a little girl and was taught by her great uncle, Lord Zuko. With exceeding skills, Lord Zuko sent her to Tenzin, son of Avatar Aang and councilman of Republic City...
After spending a few days in the Fire Nation, I realized how much I missed the relaxing life. When I moved to Republic City, everyday had been eventful for me. There were some days I liked and some I didn't, but I will always love the thrill of adventure. I kept wondering how Korra and the others had been doing. Lord Zuko told me that they were in the Southern Water Tribe, celebrating one of the traditional festivals. Well, it's nice to know Korra and the others are having fun. Korra must be extra happy, now that she had Mako as a boyfriend.
It was a peaceful morning, and I was brushing my hair in front of the mirror. I heard the knocking from the door, so I stood up and walked to the door. I opened it to see Aunt Izumi.
"Morning, do you need anything?" I asked politely, she smiled.
"Get ready, Lei, you're going on a walk with Iroh," Izumi said, as she stepped in the room and made her way to my closet.
"Where?" I asked, as I closed the door and went to her side.
"Around the town, greeting citizens and such," Izumi said, as she looked through my closet.
"Why so early in the morning?" I asked.
"Well, the Fire Nation is a big place, Lei," Izumi said, as she pulled out one of the traditional attires.
"I have to wear that?" I asked, as I pointed at the dress.
"Yes, it's traditional," Izumi said, as she laid it on my bed.
"Why can't I wear the clothes I usually wear?" I added.
"Because you always look like your ready for a war, Lei," Izumi said.
"That's the point, and why do we have to go on this walk anyway?" I complained.
"It's good for your and Iroh's image to the people, now go and change," Izumi said, as she left the room. I groaned.

I put the traditional clothes on, and they actually looked quite good on me. They're a bit heavy, probably because of the shoulder armor, but otherwise it looks great. I had to put on the fire pin in my hair, since I was a princess. I stood up from my dressing table, and made my way to the door. When I opened it, I was greeted by a few guards. I make my way to the outside, and saw Lord Zuko and Iroh along with a couple of guards, so I make my way over to them.
"Do I really have to do this?" I complained. Lord Zuko smiled.
"If it makes you feel better, take Kaya with you," Lord Zuko said, I smiled.
"Can I take the swords with me?" I asked,
Lord Zuko looked at me pointedly but I gave him a soft expression, with my pleading eyes.
"Alright, just hurry up before Izumi sees you," Lord Zuko sighed in defeat, before walking into the palace.
I sling the swords onto my back, in an x formation. The guards brought Kaya to me, and I got on her. Iroh was going to walk right next to me, while guards are surrounding us. When Izumi meant a walk with Iroh, I didn't expect that guards would come with us. Sometimes, I hate it when Lord Zuko and Izumi think I can't take care of myself. It's been a few hours, and I don't even know how much of the Fire Nation we covered. It was a slow walk, and my hand started getting fatigued by waving at the many people of this Nation. I looked at Iroh and he didn't look tired at all.
