[5 May] [Avatar the last Airbender] Arms out in the rain
Title: Arms out in the rain
Day/Theme: 5/Arms out in the rain
Series: Avatar the last Airbender
Character: Zuko
Rating: G - spoilers for the episode: bitter work
Icy cold rain pelts him mercilessly, like leaden slingshot hurled down from the sky. Raw power zig-zags across the heavens as the uncaring gods pitch it from one thunderhead to another.
Raw power. More powerful than the lightning that he finds impossible to master. The lightning that his prodigy of a firebending sister has already tamed.
The lightning that maybe, just maybe, he can deflect.
Or maybe not.
Squinting up into the deluge he screams challenge at the threatening sky, hurling defiance, stretching both arms heavenwards.
It's not like they've held back before.
An omnious rumble. For a moment, his heart clenches, body tense with anticipation. Will it come? Will the gods finally oblige?
The rain continues to sleet down. Nothing happens. Nothing, save a bone deep cold slowly eating its way deep into him, quenching his anger.
He sags to his knees in the mud, defeated.
