Post-last agni kai!Azula, Mai & Ty Lee
Title: The Ones Who Gave Up On You
Day/Theme: April 8th, "Lit like a burning city"
Series: Avatar
Character/Pairing: Azula, Mai, Ty Lee
Rating: PG
Summary: At the premise of the aftermath, Mai and Ty Lee came back for their friend. Inspired by the song "What A Catch, Donnie" by Fall Out Boy.
When there was no more fire and energy within her, she slumped forward, head-first and still with her arms chained behind her. She thought that she would never wake up, and was disappointed when she heard the rattling of metal. The next thing she knew, her arms were being hoisted at both sides and wrapped around two separate shoulders.
The two who came for her were of slight built, with no armour adorning their chests. Upon the hazy realization that they were not soldiers, Azula dared herself to look up, and saw two familiar figures. Those who came for her turned out to be her two best friends, or rather, her two best friends who left her.
A short while ago she would not hesitate to hurt them as hard as she wanted, but now she thought wiser not to. Might as well, since they were walking in the opposite direction of the prison. The royal castle was unusually empty, and no one was present to stop them, or to bow down to them.
As Mai and Ty Lee dragged her out of the palace gates, Azula closed her eyes again. 'This is it,' she thought before falling back into unconsciousness. She was unsure what 'it' was, and she supposed that it consisted of her falling out of their grasp and onto the ground, following suit the breaking of the rest of her bones.
However, the noise the impact should have made never came as the two girls continued to drag her along. They did not even try to wake her again; just coming to a standstill and allowing her to recover at her own pace.
She eventually did, with the intention of asking them what the hell they thought they were doing, when her attention was drawn instead to the sight before her. The Fire Nation, the one about to be hers, was ablaze throughout.
"Are they lighting flames for victory? Or are we burning down in shame?" Azula queried, unable to decide for herself. She sensed shifting on her right, and it was probably Ty Lee shooting Mai a glance of desperation. In the end, Mai spoke for her and for herself.
"No use burning anything now, right?" Mai said, staring only straight ahead.
"Yeah," Azula replied. "But you can't burn me."
"That's right. That's always right," Mai said with a sense of finality. With that, the two of them continued bringing Azula down their way.
Azula knew that Mai was still right, but for the first time, she allowed herself to succumb to the warmth emanated from the two-warmth from a different kind of fire.
