IV: the blue spirit and the black panther

"BUT THE GIRLS IN THE CITY, THEY LOOK SO PRETTY."

Cheyenne's POV:
We all three sat on the floor, leaning on the ostrich horse. Iroh was pleading for money, while I sat back and observed. "Spare coins for weary travellers?" The man shoved some coins into Iroh's hat. "This is humiliating. We're royalty. These people should be giving us whatever we want."

"They will if you ask nicely. Spare change for a hungry old man?" Iroh gave the woman the most innocent look he could do. "Aw, here you go." The nice woman gave us a coin. "The coin is appreciated, but not as much as your smile." The girl giggled and walked away.

"How about some entertainment in exchange for... a gold piece?" The man was staring at me, which made me extremely uncomfortable. "We're not performers." Zuko placed his arm around my shoulders as he pressed me closer to him.

"Not professional, anyway-- It's a long long way to Ba Sing Se, but the girls in the city, they look so pretty." I looked at the man, who was still staring. "Come on, we're talking about a goldpiece here. I want the girl to perform. Come on." I arched a brow at the man.

"I don't perform, and I don't care about you having a gold piece. So if you're waiting for me to dance or sing, just leave." The man was now glaring at me. I rolled my eyes and looked away. "Well, I guess I'll have fun with the old fat man. Let's see some action." The guy took out his swords. "Dance." he then swung the swords under Iroh's feet.

"And they kiss so sweet that you really have to meet The girls from Ba Sing Se." I looked at Zuko who was tense and looking down. I took his hand and I intertwined it with mine. "Nothing like a fat man dancing for his dinner. Here you go." He then threw the coin at us and fortunately left.

"Such a kind man." I looked Iroh up and down. "I'm pretty sure that you're using that word wrong, Iroh," I said still watching the man leave. We stayed for a bit and then we went back to the cave we were staying in.

We all went to sleep. After some time a sound woke me up. When I looked around I saw Zuko dressed as the blue spirit. "Zuko?" When I asked he hushed me. He took me by the hand and dragged me out of the cave.

"Listen, remember that guy that gave us a gold piece?" I nodded at his question. "I thought about getting revenge. Tonight." He handed me the panther mask. I looked at the mask and then at Iroh, who was sleeping. "Let's do this." I put on the mask and ran alongside Zuko.

When we got to town we ran on the roofs, so no one could see us. We found the man walking down a street, all alone. We went down, but Zuko made a noise and the guy took out his swords."Who's there?" Asked the man as he looked around. The man turned around, and he was now facing us. Zuko grabbed his hand and twisted it while I kicked his ankles, which knocked him out.

Zuko grabbed the dual swords the man owned, and he kept them. I saw the man move, so I kicked the man's face and then walked out beside Zuko.

He deserved it.
