Chapter 38: Chapter 38: New Fighter appears!
"My little Zuzu and dear Ubncle are traitors? What did I expect from those two fools." Azula's bright yellow eyes shine with heat as her soldiers carry the carriage on their backs.
The soldiers shake as they walk towards the ship on the coats of the Fire Nation. Azula leaned her chin on her palm as she closed her eyes. Her lips were red and tight, almost like holding back something.
"You left me too..." She muttered to herself.
Water Tribe.
Kanuk got up from his comfy bed and put his clothes on. Katara and Fei woke up before they did the same. They are leaving the water tribe after staying for 4 days.
Katara and Fei have already learned how to heal with water. They are much better at controlling their elements. They are no longer novices in water bending.
Their skills are at the same level as Pakku. Katara and Fei can summon tons of water from the atmosphere with their hands and freeze entire buildings within ice.
"You ready, girls?" Kanuk asked as he walked into the living room. Katara and Fei nodded with smiles. Katara decided to let her hair down and only keep the braids on the sides of her eyes.
"We are going to the Earth Kingdom?" Fei asked with excitement in her voice. She still needs to learn Earth and Fire bending, but she never has the time due to water and air bending.
"Of course we are. The best Earth-bending teacher must be in the Earth Kingdom. Dummy." Kanuk looks at Fei with raised eyebrows. Fei blushes in embarrassment before she looks away.
"Come on lovebirds. We need to arrive before night." Katara interrupts them as they come out of their daze. Kanuk and Fei nod as they leave the room and notify Arnook of their leave.
"Are you sure you want to leave? You could stay and train until you could defeat the Fire Lord," Arnook says as he looks at Kanuk. But even he feels his words are nothing more than trying to make them stay.
With the power that Kanuk showed 2 days ago, they would be surprised if the Fiire Lord could ever take a single attack from Kanuk. Katara and Fei are no slouch.
"Thank you for the hospitality. But we need to go. Fei needs to master all four Elements." Arnook nodded, his face disappointed. Just then, they heard someone running towards Appa, her voice loud.
"Wait for me!" Everyone looked towards the voice and soon noticed Yue running towards Appa. She was panting from running and was red in the cheeks.
Kanuk was about to read her mind to find out what she was here for, but he stopped himself since he was not that kind of person. After Yue finally reached them, she climbed onto the back of Appa.
"Kanuk. I want to go with you three! Please, take me with you" Katara and Fei sighed as they looked at Yue. They knew that she would join the team the moment Kanuk played a prank on her.
"Yue, I would love to bring you with me. But, your father might not like the" Before Kanuk could finish his words, Arnook interrupted with a loud voice and a massive smile.
"Take her! She wants to go with you. Are you about to reject a young, beautiful lady as Yue?" Arnook said as he made a disappointed face at Kanuk. His eyes flashed as he smirked in his mind.
If Yue manages to capture Kanuk like Katara and Fei, the water tribe will have two women from the tribe with Kanuk. Someone of that calibre would definitely choose them over the other nations if it came to it.
Kanuk read Arnook's thoughts without a care, and he sighed as he realised something he should have known for a long time.
Being invincible meant that you were also alienated.
Katara, Fei and Yue might not think of him differently. The rest of the world is not going to be that understanding. They would be grateful for him if he helped them, but ultimately, that gratefulness would turn into fear of him and his power.
That is anime rule 101.
With a sigh, Kanuk looked at Yue with a smile as he handed her his hand. Yue instantly smiled as she took his hand into hers. She jumped up, and Kanuk pulled her onto Appa's back.
"All right. I will take you with us." Kanuk said as Arnook smiled, Yue nodded, and Katara and Fei also hummed with acceptance. They won't stop Kanuk from doing this.
They are already far from a normal couple. This is a world that is not modern in ethics and morals. Having a few wives is a common practice for nobles and high-level people.
The only difference between that and this is that Katara and Fei love Kanuk and were not bought like an accessory from their families.
Plus, Kanuk never said he was forcing them to stay with him. If they do not feel comfortable, any of them could leave. It would hurt him, but ultimately, he would want the best for his girls.
"Watch out for Yue!" Arnook shouted while waving his hand. Kanuk nodded with a smirk as he made Appa fly towards the distant waters beyond the walls.
Earth Kingdom.
Iroh and Zuko walked towards a place near the coast of the Earth Kingdom. Zuko had a relieved expression while Iroh smelled something wrong going on.
"Prince Zuko. Something smells fishy about being called back." Iroh says, but of course, Zuko just ignored him. All he cares about is that his father wants him back home.
"You worry too much, Uncle. How about you have some Jasmine Tea? It's very calming." Zuko looked back with a smirk, and Iroh nearly tripped over a stone as he heard a similar sentence.
"You rascal! I would love to have some Jasmine Tea," Iroh says, a serene smile appearing as he looks at the bright sky. Zuko smirked as they continued their walk, reaching the dock in a few more minutes.
Iroh and Zuko arrive at the dock where a giant warship is stationed. A bunch of Fire Nation soldiers are on it, lining up. Iroh feels that something is wrong.
"Who called us here?" Iroh questions the Fire Soldier at the entrance of the warship. Iroh looked around with a suspicious feeling swelling in his gut. Zuko looked at the warship in wonder.
"Well, that would be me, Uncle." Zuko and Iroh snap their heads towards the voice and see Azula on the warship. A victorious smirk on her lips as she stared down at the two.
"Long time no see, dear Zuzu~ How was it to fail to capture the avatar?" Azula asked with a disdainful smirk. Anger bubbled beneath her irises as she stared at her "Brother".
Like her mother, her brother is starting to become like the woman she hates most! She can't wait to burn the life and hope out of him until he learns to not betray her!
"Azula?!" Zuko asked with shock as he stared at his younger sister. What is she doing here? Zuko thought as he got into a defensive stance.
"Capture them!" Azula ordered.

Leave a power stone!
What do you guys think about Azula's Character? Did I at least get a fraction of it correct?
In my opinion, Azula isn't crazy, as many people believe. Instead, she is broken and seeks to conceal her pain by emulating her father, who was the only role model she had while growing up. However, she takes it to a more extreme level.
That's just my opinion.
