yeah, chapter 12.
"The Order of the Avatar Slayer". I'm not sure if I need to elaborate further on the matter, so this will have to do. =3
CHAPTER 12: THE DUTY OF AN AVATAR
Shinon and Lehran finished their training and came back out into the main lounge area. Altina had ran around so much that she tired herself out and was asleep on the floor curled in a little ball, her thick water tribe clothing making her look like a little ball of blue fluff with a tiny girl’s head poking out. On his way past, Lehran smiled and scooped her up, taking her with him to one of the back rooms to rest.
Alzar remained asleep, Zinjamyn and Koara continued conversing, and then Zakura walked in. it seemed she had been thinking something over.
“Alzar,” she said, nudging her, but Alzar didn’t respond.
“Look, Alzar,” said Zakura, “wake up. I gotta tell you something important.” Nonetheless Alzar remained asleep. Zakura could tell by now that she was trying to ignore her.
Zakura never liked being treated like she didn’t exist, so she hoisted Alzar over her shoulder and took her into one of the back bedrooms. She was still pretending to be asleep, even when Zakura dropped her onto one of the beds. One of the best things about The Avatar Guard’s base was that it was easy to find a private chatting place, and that was why Zakura did what she did.
“Alzar, listen to me,” she said, “Would I really go through all this effort unless it was really something important?
Alzar said nothing. She did notice that her bare feet were twitching.
“ALZAR,” Zakura roared, but Alzar remained asleep.
“Fine then,” said Zakura, “I guess I need to prove we’re friends still.”
This made Alzar jump, but by that time Zakura’s fist had already connected with the underside of Alzar’s jaw, breaking it. Naturally this made her mad.
“Why do you ALWAYS feel the need to DO THAT TO ME,” she yelled,
“Because,” said Zakura, “you’re my friend, Alzar. I do that to all my friends, and I needed to tell you something important.”
“I was asleep,” Alzar fumed, but even she knew this wouldn’t work,
“Alzar,” said Zakura, “do you really think that I would go through all that trouble if I wasn’t hoping to say something important?”
Alzar grumbled. Blood began running out her mouth, and it became harder for her to speak.
“What is it you wanted to tell me,” she spat, also spitting blood. Sometime before Zakura had come back Alzar had gotten dressed into her everyday clothes, and so if there was blood on them, it would be hard to tell because of the red color.
“I wanted to apologize for last night,” said Zakura, “I shouldn’t have been that mean to you. Making fun of you for going blind was not my place.”
“And breaking my jaw was,” Alzar asked indignantly,
“Yeah,” said Zakura, “you know that it’s my friendly gesture.”
“Fri—WHAT,” Alzar exclaimed, spraying blood, “friendly!?!”
“Please tell me you’ve grown aware of my humor, Alzar,” said Zakura,
“I have,” Alzar spat, “but enough is enough. I’m not your breakable little play-toy. I’ve got feeling in my jaw just as much as you do.”
“I know,” said Zakura, “and pain makes ya stronger.”
Zakura began massaging Alzar’s jaw, which only made it hurt worse.
“Guuhh,” she said, trying to push away, “stop that.”
“Alright,” Zakura replied, taking her hand away, “see Alzar, I can be reasonable sometimes. I’m not perfect just ‘coz I’m the avatar.”
“No,” said Alzar, “no I don’t see. YOU seem to like to make fun of me for that too—no one else notices.”
“Hey,” said Zakura, “I just said, not even the avatar is perfect.”
“I’m fully aware of that,” said Alzar, “but Avatar Lahka was much better than you are. You’re a disgrace to the avatar cycle. I can’t believe I ever donated my talents to teach you. I would have much rather have taught him than someone as crude, annoying, and rough as you.”
“Hey,” said Zakura, grabbing her tightly around her jaw, “I didn’t ask to be the next incarnation. Personally, you know for a fact that I could care less. I didn’t get to have a normal life with friends like you did. I didn’t have a little clique of powerful benders. I had nothing. My parents gave me everything, but would never let me even earthbend.
They were the ones who avidly supported The Order. They don’t even know what I’m here doing.”
“Well,” said Alzar, still spitting blood, “you’d obviously be on this side, otherwise you’d be working to kill yourself.”
“Fine then,” said Zakura, “maybe I’ll just call the whole thing off—surrender to The Order; turn myself in and wait for them to scour the Fire Nation while they hunt the next avatar. I’m pretty sure little Lady Alzar wouldn’t mind being subjected to Absolute Order.”
Zakura turned and was about to storm out of the room, but Alzar stopped her. She looked like she realized that she was taking it too far.
“Zakura,” she said, blood still dripping out of her mouth, “look, I’m sorry. But just like I know your humor, you know my irritability, alright?”
“Aye, Alzar,” said Zakura, “I do. That’s part of the reason I pick on you especially. Your reactions are amusing.”
Alzar did her best to not say anything. She knew that Zakura would never talk bad about Alzar or about who she was. Even her blindness was joked about in good humor—Zakura always made sure to say so.
“Well,” said Alzar, blood from her jaw all over her clothes and lower face, “can you go a little easier on the jaw-smashing? I’ve got feeling there too, you know...”
“Eh,” Zakura shrugged, “I guess so. But yeah, Alzar, it’s just my friendly gesture. If it wasn’t I wouldn’t fix it up for ya.”
“Well either way, I’m gonna have to change my clothes.”
“Alzar, like the others, you’ve got at least 3 more of that same outfit.”
“What’s your point?”
“The point is, Alzar, is that I’m sorry, alright? I just want a little fun every now and then. I don’t know why I choose you so much.”
“Guuhh,” said Alzar, “I guess I’ll forgive you, provided you can fix me up, alright? Oh, and sorry about the remarks about Avatar Lahka. It’s just that he... you...”
Granted Alzar did not have a crush on Avatar Lahka, for he had been over 150 years old when he died.
“I don’t seem to care about who I am—what my responsibility is,” said Zakura bluntly and straightforwardly,
“Aye,” Alzar said hesitantly through the blood on her mouth, “sorry to sound rude and all but you have to admit that it’s true.”
“I know I do,” said Zakura, “I guess I just haven’t found that proof of how important it is. Until then, I’m just here to be myself. If word got out I was the avatar I’d have the Order all over me. That’s their purpose. They want to kill me; of course, they’ll need a lot of help. I was taught by the four greatest benders in the world. You, Alzar, are one of them.”
“Hold it, hold it,” said Alzar, “Did you just say that someone else was better than you at something? Hold on... I need to try and process this moment. I’m not sure I’m able to take this all in at one time.”
“Shut up,” Zakura laughed, nudging Alzar playfully “want me to heal your jaw or not?”
“Well,” said Alzar, “seeing as it feels like someone was murdered in here from all my blood on the ground, aye, that’d be nice.”
“Don’t tell anyone I said that to you then,” Zakura laughed, and Alzar’s jaw was repaired I no time flat.
“Not a word,” Alzar replied, laughing, and the two of them went back out. Alzar went to go clean herself up, and Zinjamyn caught sight of her, and then punched Zakura playfully as she passed by.
“What,” Zakura asked innocently,
“Don’t pull that with me,” Zinjamyn laughed, “I know what you did to her. What else makes someone get that much blood down their front like that? You must have gotten her good that time.”
“Aye,” said Zakura, chuckling, “and you’re next.”
Before Zinjamyn could pull his head back in time, Zakura had uppercut Zinjamyn’s jaw as well.
“Bloody mercy,” he exclaimed, chuckling, “can’t believe I missed that. You’re a real jerk, Zakura, you know that?”
“Ain’t I,” Zakura chuckled, “it’s an avatar thing I guess.”
“That’s true,” said Zinjamyn, blood now coming out of the corners of his mouth, “at least you don’t go all avatar-crazy on us,”
“Yeah,” Zakura laughed, “I might have to embarrass a couple of “resting” people though. Oh, and I’m able to brag that I’ve broken the jaws of the four greatest benders in the world.”
“Heh,” Zinjamyn laughed, ignoring the blood from his mouth, “and those four benders can boast that they can beat the avatar at their respective element. It all evens out, doesn’t it?”
Zakura laughed, “I guess so,” she replied, “here, let’s clean you up.”
Moments later, Zinjamyn’s jaw was healed as well.
“You really are a swift learner,” said Zinjamyn, “Avatar Lahka’s legacy lives on, Zakura. I bet you’ll soon be even better than he was.”
“Heh,” Zakura chuckled, “you know it. I’m Zakura. I do what I please.”
“And to whom you please, when you please,” Zinjamyn laughed, talking about how she would always smash people’s jaws.
“Don’t you forget it,” she laughed, “or you’ll be next on my list.”
“Oh no,” Zinjamyn laughed, “Whatever would I do then?”
“Heh,” Zakura laughed, “what WOULD you do?”
“Well,” said Zinj, chuckling, “I created this really awesome earthbending move, and well, I figured the avatar might want to know it...”
“Say no more,” said Zakura, grabbing Zinjamyn’s hand and taking him to one of the arenas, “you’re gonna teach it to me.”
“Glad to see you’ll still be taught,” Zinj laughed, one thing about you I always liked—you were always eager to learn it all.”
“Of course,” Zakura replied, “I have to. It’s The Duty of An Avatar.”
