Chapter 19: Dinner with the Queen I entered the house where mother lived and quickly examined it. Thought it was poorly furnished there weren’t any obvious traps, nor anyone other than mother who might attack me. “Do you want something to eat?” I turned to face mother. Though her question sounded innocent I knew that it would be very easy for her to poison my food. Even doping it would give her an advantage. My first instinct was to refuse, however the lingering smell of noodles in this room made me realise how hungry I was. I hadn’t eaten since this morning and it I didn’t eat tonight I wouldn’t have the st

Chapter 18: The Queen and the Princess We rode for hours through the forest; I rode in the centre, three Dai Lee rode in front of me, three behind me, and one on either side of me. Eventually we left the forest and rode towards a mountain range. Once in the range we rode along a dirt road until we came to a dead end. I slowed down so that five of the Dai Lee were now in front of me and prepared myself in case this was a trap. The three Dai Lee furthest in front of me then dismounted and used their Earthbending to open up a hidden tunnel through the mountain. They then remounted their Komodo Rhinos and entered the tunnel. I followed them into

Chapter 17: Escaping the Inferno ************ Colonial Forest *********** After the Fire Nation soldiers set the trees on fire we all ran away from them to avoid being burned. While it would be easiest to just keep running away I knew that if we left the fire to burn it would quickly spread, we needed to contain it while we still could. “Toph, create a stone circle around the trees we were just standing by to contain the fire.” “Okay Sokka,” she replied. Toph promptly used her Earthbending to create a large stone column around the trees. Though this would stop the fire from spreading its height and the smoke coming

Chapter 16: Fire and Earth I turned round and headed towards the window I’d climbed through. Since the tile roof was lower than the floor this made getting back through the window much more difficult. Eventually I managed to climbed back through the window. I then headed towards the door and put my ear to it to see if I could hear anyone outside (I didn’t want to run into any guards who had missed my performance on the roof, since they wouldn’t know who I was). As I couldn’t hear anything outside I unlocked the door and stepped into the hall. The hall was deserted. Good, this would make moving about easier. Though I wan

Chapter 15: Battle in the Western Castle: part two As I was waiting for the guards to go to the courtyard I heard someone coming down the corridor. Looking through a crack in the door I saw that it was an old woman carrying a tray with several cups of tea on it. Perfect, she’d be able to provide me with all the information I needed. I went into the corridor and fired a fireball in front of the old woman. When it hit the wall she screamed and fell backwards, the tea went everywhere soaking her. As she tried to stand up I put my foot on her hand. When she looked up I put my hand around her throat and heated it up with some light Firebendi

Chapter 14: Battle in the Western Castle: part one My cell door opened and a guard came in. He opened the door to my cage and ordered me out. I pretended that my left foot was injured and limped out. I decided to feign an injury so that the guards would expect me to be slow and walk behind them. From behind they wouldn’t see me charging my lighting. Outside my cell there was an officer with a scar above his left eye and another guard. The officer moved close to me and said “Follow us, if you try to escape you’ll be harshly punished.” As if I’d be scared by that. The officer then turned round and started walking

Chapter 13: The Western Castle *********** Fire Nation Colonial Castle ************ My cell was of Fire Nation design, a metal cage in a stone room with an outer wooden door. After I was put in my cell and the guard left several of the girls in the other cells asked me questions about who I was, why I was here, and some questions about what was happening where they lived. I lied and said I was called Ruikei, I’d been mistaken for Azula, and I didn’t know the answer to any the other questions (why would I know about what’s happening where they’re from). After I’d finished talking one of the girls (I couldn’t see

Chapter 12: Trouble in the forest: part 2 Toph created a path and Azula walked up it. Once out of the hole she went around the bush and headed towards the soldiers. I peeked to over the bush and saw two Fire Nation soldiers holding Ruikei, three more Fire Nation soldiers on Komodo Rhinos (one wore different armour than the others), and a fourth Komodo Rhino with a metal box on wheels attached to it (the ‘carriage’ they mentioned). When I asked Toph how many soldiers were out there she said there were two soldiers on the ground and nine Komodo Rhinos (one with a cart attached to it). I hope Azula knows what she’s doing. As Azu

*********** Fire Nation Royal Palace ************ It was another tiring day today. In the morning I received yet more reports from the generals in the colonies about Azula’s campaign in the northern areas (mainly looting and abducting children to fight as soldiers in her armies). This new wave of terror worried the generals, so they were requesting access to additional soldiers to stop Azula. I then spent the rest of the day in meetings with my advisors and hearing their suggestions on which soldiers would be most effective. After a long day I decided to granted them an additional four more divisions to be used to defend the villages in
