There is no context or further story. Just this.

A cold blue light filled the room, shining from a fist-sized sapphire hanging from the ceiling. Torches along the walls cast weak, flickering shadows. Piandao almost thought the shadows were connected to nothing, but they were too pale to see easily

Ooh. I wonder what *they* see when they look at Piandao.

[beckyh2112]

That's the twenty million dollar question, isn't it? ^___^

VERY NICE. I do so love the imagery in this. <3 Bumi was neat - cracks reflecting his cracked mind? I love dragon!Iroh, but I also find it intriguing that there was different imagery for the two firebenders... but it all fits so well! I mean, we know that Iroh met with the masters, but Jeong Jeong always had a much more depreciative "fire consumes all and is evil" kind of mentality in canon.

Again, I like this a lot! (and I'm sad that it's a stand-alone)

Thank you! It's not so much a stand-alone as a fragment - if I ever get the rest of this story, I'll definitely try to write it. Too much awesome and creepy imagery to waste.

Oh my, please do! ~enables shamelessly~ The world needs more well-written awesome creepy.

FFFFFFFFFFFFF-Oh WOW. Is Piandao like a pitted, melting metal golem?

[beckyh2112]

Thank you! And no, he isn't. Though the sword is definitely strongly involved with him. ^_^

[flowerflute]

-wracks brain for what he could BE-

Oh dear.
In Soviet Russia, elements bend *you*

[beckyh2112]

Thank you!

Not quite. ^__^

This is epically metal. They should start a band.

[beckyh2112]

*chuckles* They would make an awesome Finnish rock band, wouldn't they?

[lunatron]

Heck yes!
