The Princess and the Peasant - (An Azula Epic)

The Sadness of an Angel

Felix reached out his gloved hand to shake the hand of the older man standing across from him.

The suited man glanced down at his outstretched palm for a passing moment.

Before the older man firmly shook his hand not a second later.

Felix now gazed back at the older man's hardened face with a pleased grin now adorning his lips.

"I look forward to doing business with the Intermob. I can assure you that I will not disappoint you." Felix stated in a satisfied voice while the criminal stared back at him with an inexpressive gaze.

"Let us hope not, Mr. Turner. For your sake." The crime boss replied in a businesslike voice while the young man smiled in understanding.

Many weeks later.

A large house sat upon many acres of farmland with a great many trees that surrounded the property for as far as the eye could see.

Elle stood gazing up at the imposing house with a look of disinterest in her amber eyes.

While her brother approached proudly behind her with his coat flowing behind him.

"What do you think of the new house, dear sister?" Felix questioned in a gratified voice with a smirk on his lips while he gazed at his little sister's disbelieving face.

"How...did you afford this, Felix?" Elle asked in a quiet voice while her brother set his hand upon the doorknob.

"We're moving up in the world, Elle. Soon the Turners will be a name to be reckoned with." Felix spoke while he glanced down at his sister's depressed face with delighted amber eyes.

Only for the young girl to say nothing in response as she turned to gaze away with a dispassionate expression in her innocent eyes.

And then the door to their new estate was ceremoniously opened by her older brother.

Before Elle quietly stepped in with her backpack shaking on her shoulders.

She gazed down at the freshly cleaned flooring with a glum look in her eyes.

It didn't matter to her how big or nice the house was.

It wasn't home.

No house that she shared with Felix ever would be.

About five years after the fall of Rosa.

Team Azula now watched in fascination as the Sun shined brightly over the horizon of a foreign designed city.

Just as a familiar figure came riding into view on a bizarre wheeled contraption.

The highborn women observed with amusement in their eyes as the ten and a half-year-old Elle rode on a strange two wheeled vehicle with her backpack slung over her shoulders.

As Ty Lee found herself unable to resist smiling despite her sadness with the Mai cracking a grin alongside her.

All the while as the princess let out a proud snort as she tried to play off her fondness for the girl.

Just as the young girl rode to a stop before she tossed a rolled-up paper into the front yard of a house on her route.

"Newspaper delivery!" Elle called out to the resident stepping outside while waving in greeting before she peddling off.

All the while throwing papers in one yard after another while she gazed ahead with a small smile gracing her lips.

"Newspaper delivery?" Azula repeated in another haughty snort while she rolled her amber golden eyes beside her amused friends.
