For the Avatar

Chapter Text

Prince Zuko walked over the deck of his warship. His crew walking on the deck as well backed away, creating space for their commander to walk.
They were scared.
They were so freaking scared of the former Prince of the Fire Nation.
Scared he’ll burn them to ashes, that he’ll torture them.
Just like his father would.
No, thinking like that is treason.
Right?
But they already were banished, because they were travelling with an exile.
Right?

“Hey Sparky. How ya doing?” Toph slammed her fist against Zuko’s shoulder. The crew froze, not believing the audacity the little girl had.
Did she have a death wish or something like that!?
The Prince flinched a bit, and his face contorted in anger, but he quickly suppressed it.
He did not want to face this little girl in a battle.

“You’re new, don’t test my limits.” Zuko sneered.

“Ah, Sparky’s grumpy today. Try to burn no once to ashes today.” Toph said while walking away, after giving him another one of those punches.

His crew their faces turned a ghostly white.

It wasn’t true. He had never done that.

But she liked to spread lies about everyone for some reason.

She was weird.

But she was strong, and that’s what he needed.

She would be the perfect teacher for the Avatar.
