Fulaine of Glass island
Present sir.
Go and join your brothers you have been given the honor of joining the 41st division. I hear sadness in my instructors words when he says this. I bow to him and join the boys. No other girls are called. The instructor turns to us I have done my best to prepare you my students but even still you are young. It was insisted the 41st division be chosen from this class. He comes over to each of us and squeezes our shoulder. And he says
do Agni proud.
Yes master Fyu
I'm stealthing through the night it's my job to spy on the earth bending camp. Suddenly I hear a great rumbling the earth benders they're attacking!
I turn to run back to the camp when the earth rises like a wave and I fall.
I stand back up and leap forward jumping the next wave.
I keep running until I make it back.
Report! My officer demands of me.
The earth benders sir they're attacking.
Sadness crosses his face.
Awaiting orders sir.
Of course.
Tell your brothers to close in on the earth benders do maneuver fire ring but do not approach.
Understand?
Sir yes sir! I bow to him before going to the boys.
There are 15 of us.
The best ...11-13 and some 15 year olds there can be.
Normally you have to be 16 to join the army. But we were told we were given the honor of joining now.
Brothers! They all turn to me.
Our orders are to surrounds them! Ring of fire!
They shout and cheer and follow me out the door.
I'm the strongest fire bender here and I take center.
I breathe deeply thinking about protecting my nation and I begin the circle of fire.
It radiates around the earth bending town.
Suddenly there's a bright flash of light and I see the imperial fire benders coming towards us surrounding us.
It was a set up! I hear general Ahyu shout.
Retreat fall back! He shouts the others around me panic and I run forward summersaulting trying to find an opening.
Suddenly a bright light surrounds me and I feel burning I collapse to the ground ...
I open my eyes oh great it's grumpy. He stares at me disdainfully. The sun elves never leave the caves he begins with no preamble why were you with the moon shadow elves? He says.
I raise the only eyebrow I have.
I am not who you think me to be.
LIAR! He shouts and I don't flinch.
Believe what you will sir but I am not an elf.
And I did not come here to kill your king.
We'll see about that. Another man enters and he has a bandage around his torso and he's using a staff to walk.
Lord Viren he says sharply. The other man bows to the other and he says yes your highness?
What is going on in here? This is one of the elves sir from the group that attached last night.
All of the elves had the white bracelets the man says does she have those. The man stalks over to me and pulls at my sleeves where are they? Where are they?
He slaps me in the face. Verion! The man steps over to him and moves him away from me and he looks at me and says my name is King Harrow.
Do you know who I am? Not before you said that. He smiles.
What is your name? Fuliane of Glass island Fire Nigina class.
What is all of that nonessential- you are not an elf are you?
No sir.
Give me the keys - but sir- I said give me the keys. Viren gives the king the keys.
I'm sorry about this he says unlocking my wrists.
He notices that they're chafed. Come with me I'll have a healer look at you.
I nod once and follow him.
We get to an infirmary room and the woman crosses her arms.
What are you doing out of bed I have- what happened? she asks.
Lord Vrien mistook her as an elf as locked her in the dungeon.
Well then come and have a seat dear and I'll take a look at those wrists. Yes miss.
I say before going and sitting down.
The king returns to his bed and he sits up against the wall. Are you in a play? He asks. Sir? I look up at him. That looks like a military uniform. I sit up straight it is sir.
Some of my classmates and I were Con- script- Ed. The man's eyes widen.
How old are you? 13 sir. Are your parents ok with this...there isn't a choice sir the fire lord commanded it.
My teacher said something happened with the prince during the war meeting he was in our class see?
And I think the firelord wanted to punish him by using us as bait.
Bait?
For the earth benders sir.
How did you end up in my kingdom? I don't know sir we were being over taken sir the imperial fire benders had come to destroy the earth bending regime and then I think I was burned and I don't remember anything else.
What happened when you woke up here? I...I was in the courtyard sir and it was early.
That man...the king nods. He looked like a dark spirit possessed him sir.
I understand he says. The healer comes over to her and tutts when she sees her wrists and she says what happened to your face child?
I was burned miss. She gently puts some slave on her wrists before wrapping them with cloth.
These can be reused she says just wash and dry them. And wear these the skin will tender. I'm nod putting on the fingerless gloves. A man comes in carrying my knapsack,cloak,Dao blades and my mask. I have Fulaine's things he says. Oh he comes over to me setting my things down. I get out some of my fire retardant spray and spray my gloves before putting them in. What is that dear? The healer asks. It's fire retardant Fulaine says but why Fulanine opens her hand and a blossom of fire appears. Whoa! How are you doing magic? Magic? This is fire bending.
