Find the cost of freedom
Buried in the ground
Mother Earth will swallow you
Lay your body down...

Beautiful, TY!

Thank you!

this is a great interpretation. first it's like of course no one can compete with her dead lover. then they'll be reunited in the earth. darkly romantic.

Thanks! You said the prompt had a romantic flavor, but could be dark too--I mixed it up. ;)

indeed :) dark and romance are a personal favorite of mine.

Beautiful. Love the way you describe Oma's earthbending and the way you explored the different roles of earth/earthbending, and how ultimately it's about fertility. Very sweet and sad. (This also reminded me just how awesome Oma is, ending a war single-handedly and all.)

Thank you!

That's a big reason I like the Oma/Shu story--she could have used her power for vengeance, but she decided to use it to stop the war.
