    Summary

    Each step was unsteady as Zuko picked his way through the darkness, finding his footing uneven as if everything around him was shifting and moving. As if it were breathing beneath him. But it didn’t feel like he was inside a living thing. Not that he had any experience in being swallowed whole by giant fish monsters, but he expected it to probably be more….squishy. Foul smelling? Warmer? It felt ridiculously cold in his opinion.

    “You didn’t touch the white glowy ball, did you?” A voice that was far too familiar spoke up in the dark. He reared back with a grimace as the blue glow grew stronger like a spark igniting into a grand pyre. He recoiled and held his hands up, expecting an attack as if from Azula’s flame but when nothing came, he squinted at it and noticed it was vaguely human shaped.

    “The glowy ball?” His voice echoed. “You mean that orb of light?”

    “Zuko?!” The sound of shock was far too loud causing him to flinch as he recognized that voice for certain.

    “Water tribe.” Zuko grimaced. “What are you doing here?”

    “I went fishing.” The water tribe boy gave a dry laugh. “Normally I’m a master at catching fish but this time the fish caught me when the boat capsized in the storm.”
