Each step taken was shaky and wobbly, the tiny filly pushed herself to go on. She had been on her own for a week now, grass still didn’t go down like she would want it to, so she was still hungry and starting to look more and more like a walking skeleton then a happy energetic foal. The tears threatened to bubble over and stain her face but she fought them back, unsure of where she was heading but hoping it was a place that would help her and not turn her away. She just wanted a safe place that would accept her and help her get better. She took a stumbling step forward and fell onto her face, she stood and moved on, she was just trying to find a place to lay down and die this was just hell. She found a place full of grass by night fall, she took a step in and fell onto her side she didn’t even attempt to get up, her breathing slowed just slightly as the tears bubbled over and no matter how many times she blinked she couldn’t clear them from her orbs. Breath faltered as the tears continued, she closed her orbs and tried to sleep but it avoided her and so she just laid there awake and alone. |

"Are you kidding me? He's unbelievable! Just because I used to like Aang doesn't mean he has to be a jerk and not come with me to go see him! It isn't like I'm going to screw him! Whatever. I need some air." Katara's rage was bubbling over in a spitting fit. She exited the palace swiftly making her way to the pastures so she wouldn't have to go off on him that would just be a bunch of water and fire flying at each other turning to steam. I couldn't do that to him let alone destroy our home. I slowed as I entered the pastures. I was going to the lake that was in the middle one of the only water sources in this part of the land. Mainly used for consumption but the land was free of horses so I didn't think they'd mind if I'd use it for practice. It's not like they could argue anyway. I was alone or so I thought. I peered through the darkness the moon casted only a small amount of light but just enough to make out the silhouette of a foal. I cocked my head to the side for a moment before taking the few steps forward to look it over. It was a filly and a wave of sympathy came over her as she outstretched her muzzle to brush up against her warm side. Nudging her lightly. "Are you okay?" I asked knowing all to well that she was malnourished just from looking at her. I lowered myself to the ground behind her curled frame. Wapping around her like a backboard. I laid my head on the ground. Even if it was summer and it was super hot I still felt bad for the little girl. From a few feet away it look like one big roan form when really it was just two small ones.

"I used to think this scar marked me; the mark of the banished prince, cursed to chase the Avatar forever. But lately, I've realized I'm free to determine my own destiny, even if I'll never be free of my mark."
Eyes cast to the ground as my angry steps stomped onto the ground. Whipcord slashed back and forth, harks lay flat against my skull. Nostrils flared and loud breaths were escaping them. Hoof prints were disguised by the fire that was coming off of me. So much pent up anger was just flowing out of me in waves. I think that it has caused me to feel even more angry then the time before I found out that Aang and the others were going to wait till after Sozin's Comet to take down my father. When I went after Aang I couldn't understand his childish ways to blow that all off. But of course I found out later that they had been planning that, but didn't know what my father had been planning in return.
I was still angry, not really watching where I was going. When I would breath now spurts of fire came out. My head shook from side to side. "Unbelievable. Can't I have her all to myself for just a weekend? Or is she that uncomfortable with me that she needs her brother, Toph, or Aang with her?" I muttered with quick tones.
When I finally stopped and looked up I noticed that I was in the pasture. "Excellent." I mumbled to myself. This is where I go to burn things, so that I would offend my dear Katara. I was about to push out a large wave of flames before I noticed a roan frame laying in the grass. Great, Katara was already here. I didn't want to burn her or anything, but I did want to confront her. Let her know why I was so mad.
But as I approached her I noticed she wasn't alone. I stood there gawking for a few moments. Amber eyes wide as I stared. But soon I regained ground. "What is this?" I asked. My tone still held some of the anger in it.

Feeling a brush she raised her tiny crown and blinked her orbs to clear the tears, the next thing she knew the mare was lowering herself around her and any instant warmth tugged at her heart. At her question she shook her crown no she was not ok, n-o-no im not ok mommy is dead and daddy left. She fought the tears and lowered her crown again, sighing she closed her eyes and enjoyed the closeness something she hadn’t had in a while. That’s when a stallion showed up and catching the anger in his voice she stood quickly, stumbling she bolted past him and into a bush. Laying down again she tucked her crown around her pillars and closed her eyes tight, scared the stallion would come and find her and tell her to leave. She shivered and worked on drying her tears and trying to put on a brave face but that wasn’t going to happen any time soon she was scared to piece of that stallion. She raised her crown, harks off to the side as she growled softly and then giggled even softer. That was her brave face a growl and a giggle that would really get her somewhere. She don’t want to leave the safety of her bush because she knew he was out there but that mare was also out there and she liked her, oh such a predicament she was in. |

Another wave of emotional pain came over her. She knew how that felt. Her own mother had died when she was young in a fire nation raid. After her father helped make the fire nation flee he left to help fight in the war. Although that was awhile ago. The pain was still there. Sharp words entered her harks causing them to move into an instant pin. The filly tensed obviously not comforted by his intimidating presence. And even if Zuko didn't like it she was going to convince him to let Tara keep the filly and raise her as their own even though the little girl knew full well she wasn't the offspring of the Fire Lord and Lady. She wouldn't let Zuko say no. She whispered into the fill's ear. "You have a home now."
Tara leaped to her feet sidling over to her mate sweetly. Reaching up to momentarily play with an obsidian tress of his forelock. She backed up heat radiating off his body knowing well she had caused his rage. Roan frame shimmering in the moonlight. "Zuko can I, I mean we keep her as our own?" she nuzzled his cheek trying not to recoil.

"I used to think this scar marked me; the mark of the banished prince, cursed to chase the Avatar forever. But lately, I've realized I'm free to determine my own destiny, even if I'll never be free of my mark."
Harks went backward as I could hear small mumbling coming from the two frames that were below me. My good eye slightly narrowed, the other one was always kind of narrowed. Ebony banner tossed side to side against my two toned frame. I stood, waiting for Katara to speak to me.
But it seemed like the filly noticed me, or at least looked at me, first. She took off like a rocket. Good, I didn't want to face a child's wide eyes right now. I watched as my graceful Katara stood up. She came over to me and started to play with my hair. I ignored the flirtatious nibbling. My frame ridged with the anger that was coming off of me. She was just sucking up, and it was soon established with her next words.
I let out a huge sigh and groan. How did I know that this was going to happen? What was it with females and baby animals? I guess Azula was like that, and Mai certainly wasn't like that. Ty Lee, however, was really bad. I let out a curse in my mind and took a few steps away from Katara. "Do you really think that this is a great time to take a foal into our home?" I said angrily at her. There was just so much on my mind, so much anger I felt toward her. If I was in a better mood I wouldn't be feeling this way toward her, I would crush it down, bottle it up until I was here. Perhaps it is because this is my angry area that I was feeling this anger. So far, however, I kept it in except for that one sentence.

She was getting sleepier and sleepier by the minuet and she was about to close her orbs when she heard the stallion speak to the mare, she knew they were talking about her. She sighed, she could remember the first day she had been born mommy was still there and taking care of her daddy had come to see his new child but when he realized she was a girl and not a boy he got into it with her mother and killed her. Leaving his daughter to die, but she hadn’t. Shaking her tiny crown, she heard rustling and then there was something biting her rump, with a squeal she stood and backed out staring at the bush wide eyed and then looking at the stallion wide eyed as well she felt like a cornered animal. She backed and flicked her banner back and forth and went back to looking at the bush and then back to the stallion and so it went on and on until she just flat out sat on her rump and stared at nothing but the middle between her use to be hiding spot and the stallion that was keeping her away from the mare. |

In a way Katara really wanted to show Zuko a piece of her mind. But in all reality if she went off on him now she wouldnt get anything she wanted. She made a mental note of what she could do. Some might call this insane but she knew a way to break him down. She sighed making the sweat that had worked up on her navy coat suddenly freeze. She knew this could keep her under boiling point for atleast a minute or two and with her plan thats all the time she needed. She slinked around until she was pressed up against his side. "Please Zuko." She nuzzled his cheek. Trying her best to persuade him that this wasn't a bad thing. Truthfully she probably wouldnt be acting like this only because it involved something she wanted she would do this. On the side it also might be because it's summer and I was in heat. But that can't always be the reason for these actions. Guilt trip. Perfect way to get him to say okay. "If we don't take her in she will surely die." she stared up at him quietly waiting for his reply. For he would surely put up an argument.

"I used to think this scar marked me; the mark of the banished prince, cursed to chase the Avatar forever. But lately, I've realized I'm free to determine my own destiny, even if I'll never be free of my mark."
Ebony harks were still fallen nearly flat against my drafty skull. Long raven locks were tangled around the hearing devices, but most of it fell plastered on my raging face. I didn't have to flick my thick whipcord any more, the bugs instinctively stayed away from me because if they landed on me their exoskeleton would surely shrivel up and they would die. I had my own bug repellent, and it worked on most other things. Besides a certain lady who wanted something she couldn't have.
I could tell the flicka was scared of me. And I liked it like that, she wasn't my child. I didn't need her hanging around me like a leech. If I wasn't in such a bad mood I probably wouldn't be thinking such things, but I was so my mind was turned negative and everything positive or what Katara wanted I would surely backfire with my own retort of anger. But I didn't look at the oddly coloured roan filly.
Katara had turned her frame into ice, I felt it as she touched the side of my barrel with hers. But my body was very warm, my mind not letting it cool, and I had made her sweat. But of course she turned it to ice so that she wouldn't burn herself. She was born on an ice cube that was called the Southern Water Tribe. I wanted to roll my amber eyes at her plea.
"No. She isn't our responsibility. Where are her parents? Why can't they look after her?" I quickly retorted back to her. My mom left when I was young, and my father was a joke. Everyone knows that. I had to raise myself, with the help of my uncle. But that didn't come until my banishment. I turned out fine in my opinion.
My thoughts turned toward our earlier arguement. Why can't the Avatar take this kid in? Isn't this his duty? I have way to many other things going on and adding looking after a child who isn't even mine. My anger just started to rise, I am sure that I was almost at my boiling point.

The filly stood at his words and walked over to the mare and looked up at her, she sat. I was born only a week ago, daddy came down to see mom asking to see where his boy was, when she pointed and he noticed that she had me instead, his anger became so much, mommy tried to defend herself but daddy was always a stronger bender, he knocked her down tore her up and set her dead body on fire saying she was useless and that he knew I was going to die without my mommy. She had witnessed the whole thing and now she was telling, she didn’t want to touch either one, one was ice the other well you could feel the heat coming off of him. She shook her frame and stood, turning to nibble at her flank, the hair on her banner had been burned when her father was using his fire powers. She had been quite fascinated with the power and the beauty and deadly dangers it held. Turning around she flicked her banner, the skin was healing the hair well she hopped that would come back at least a little. Snorting she turned her crown trying to reach the other flank which she did, she nibbled gently and then moved far away from afraid they would start using their bending powers. |
