Homeplot, Part Two: Journey to the Capital City

[irisewiththesun]

It's still a little surreal, having four people from the island there with Zuko as he heads into days that could change everything for the world he knows, and for his nation. It’s surreal just being home again, even though he knows that it’s not real - it feels real, not like a dream at all, and that makes Zuko want to keep from screwing anything

Re: Azula's Attack

Appa was still in the air when Cassie looked down and saw the group of Fire Nation soldiers attacking the group on the ground. This had occurred a few times during their trek through the Fire Nation, but this time there was something different about this group. Or more, about the women flanking them who was definitely different then the soldiers and the fire bending she used was much different then Zuko's

Fighting her way back to the rest of the group, Cassie glanced back to see Azula escape. "Dammit." She knew Zuko wasn't going to be happy with her, but she didn't care. She'd distracted Azula before she ambushed the rest of the group, that was all that mattered.

Azula mentions Mai again - in prison, no less - and even though Zuko's not surprised that's where she'd have ended up after what he saw at the Boiling Rock, it still cuts deep. His eyes grow hot as he lets out a yell of anger and frustration, along with it a Breath of Fire that shoots straight down the middle of his tunnel in an angry burst of flame.

"Come on," he grits out to Cassie, as they continue to retreat.
