fic: The First Batch
Title - The First Batch
Summary - Prompts taken from Avatar 500
Words - Barely under 500
Characters - A lot of them.
Element
“You must learn the elements according to the cycle. Air, water, earth, then fire.”
“Why?”
“Because.”
“Will it disrupt balance between the two realms, distorting the line until none remains and throw all of existence into chaos?”
“…nooooo.”
Doubt
“So,” Mai drawled, sitting behind Aang in a mail cart atop Omashu, “this is a bad idea, isn’t it.”
Undying
Hama awaits her death, thinks of the gift she gave Katara, and smiles.
Obstacle
The captain nodded approvingly at the arrow-pinned apple, replaced it with a new one atop the prop’s head, then tied a blindfold to the trainee.
“Do it again.”
The ‘prop’ started praying.
Tyrant
“Have the proper documents ready for after my coronation. I want every cherry tree turned to ash.”
Outdo
They were surrounded.
Sokka drew his sword. Toph stood, ready and waiting ; Aang twirled his staff, the wind blowing harder; and Katara pulled water from the air in an arc above her.
He gave them all dirty looks.
Neglect
Roku had stopped meditating, denying the connection between him and his past life. But Kyoshi would not be ignored.
Token
The Earth Kingdom general surrendered the dagger without flourish. The prince-general examined the sheath, the blade, and smiled at his defeated enemy.
“Thank you.”
Honor
Ursa had no choice. What real mother would let her child die when she could save him?
Monk
Sometimes, Gyatso traveled alone to places with hot springs and the like, to do ‘research’.
Teach
When all was said and done, Zuko had learned much more than respect.
Devour
“What happened to all of the fruit tarts?” Sokka wailed.
Mai burped.
Memory
There is a song in her head, a soft melody. Azula sits alone and hums it.
Supernatural
“You’re saying that you see auras of color around people?”
“Yup!”
“You’re weird.”
“Thank you!”
Defeat
Azula smirked down at the Kyoshi so-called warriors.
“Don’t look so surprised. This was the inevitable outcome.”
Mad
Ozai looked at his son, kneeling and pleading like a mewling cub. He saw red.
Stir
The bush moved. There was no wind. An arrow was loosed into the tree line, and as steps retreated away, Yu Yan followed.
Cut
"My hair!"
"I'm sorry!"
"Freak sister with her evil magic attacked my hair!"
"But I -"
"No more ice disks!"
Light
“Um…Sage Rago?”
“What?”
“Is it a bad thing if the statues in the temple start glowing?”
Spontaneous
“I feel like stabbing someone today.”
Everyone edge away from Mai.
Crack
“OW! That was my nose!”
“Suck it up, Snoozles.”
“I think you broke it!”
Knight
Jet twirled his swords, flashed a smile, and waited for the perfect moment to jump down to save the damsel.
Soothe
Zuko was having one of those days, when everyone and thing was a target, fire was everywhere. Iroh prepared one of those teas.
Contest
Little Zuko made a fireball as big as his hand. Azula made one five times bigger and blue. He scowled and tackled her.
Jail
Long Feng was imprisoned, disgraced, having been stripped of rank and power. At the moment though, all he wanted was a bath…alone.
