New start

A/N: yay part 2, I hope you guys and gals liked part one. Enjoy!

(Y/N P.O.V)

I was starring at him. "As in Lord Zuko?"

Zuko:"Yes."

I bowed to him trying to be polite. "There is no need to bow, if anyone should be bowing it should be me."

You:"You have no reason to Lord Zuko."

Zuko:"There is no need to call me lord either, just Zuko is fine, now let's go get something to eat."

I nodded, albeit a little hesitantly, and followed him. But before I walked out the door I realized I didn't have my bag. I looked around and found it in a corner, thankfully with the egg still in it. "Good, your safe."

I then caught up with Zuko. It took awhile but we eventually reached a set of large doors and opened them to a dining hall. I saw the woman from before and another man who was not at the festival. The man had on a military uniform, he looked younger than the woman and Zuko by a lot. 'He looks important though, judging by his decorated uniform'. Zuko walked over to the lady, who was now standing. "This is my daughter Fire Princess Izumi, and this *gesturing to the man* is my grandson General Iroh."

I bowed to the two now named occupants of the room. "H-hello your royalnesses."

The three of them chuckled, then Izumi spoke. "You do not have to use our titles, as thanks for saving me you can just say our names."

I was shocked. 'I didn't expect this, I just wanted to be helpful'. "Y-yes ma'am."

Another round of chuckles and then I was told to take a seat. I sat down and put my bag on the chair next to me. There was all kinds of food, meat, vegetables, fruit, pie, sweets, and more. They each started to grab a few things with silverware and put them on their plates. I used my fork to grab chicken-like meat and pieces of fruit I had never seen, as well as a red tart. Before we ate I thanked the spirits for the food, since I haven't eaten a real meal in...awhile. I was about to eat when Iroh pointed to my bag. "How come you keep that bag so close?"

Izumi:"Iroh, he doesn't need to tell you unless he wants to."

Iroh:"It's my job to protect you and grandfather."

Zuko:"If he meant harm then he wouldn't have taken that arrow."

I looked back and forth between them. I decided to take the egg out of my bag. "It's fine, I just keep my bag close to make sure this egg is safe."

Iroh:"Egg?"

I pulled out the egg and placed it on the table. "Yeah, well I think it's an egg at least? I'm not very familiar with eggs."

It was red with black spots all over it. Zuko came over and looked at it, but had a very puzzle expression. "I've never seen an egg like this before."

'Even he doesn't know what it is?'. I looked at the egg in awe. 'It's gotta be cool!'. "Maybe it's a dragon egg!"

Zuko choked on the water he was drinking. "*cough* that's *cough* not possible."

You:"Why not? My dad said dragons Roamed all over the world and I found a tiny one when I was five an..."

Zuko:"But the only dragons alive have been guarded for decades. We have tiny dragons, but the great dragons are all but gone."

You:"Well I will just have to see for my self when the little guy hatches."

Zuko:"Who was your father?"

I had to think for a second. "Sean (l/n), why?"

Zuko's eyes widened at this revelation. "I see."

Izumi:"Where are your parents (y/n)?"

I looked down at this. "Well I don't know where my father is, but my mother passed away some years ago."

Izumi:"I am sorry if I stepped into an uncomfortable topic."

I realized what she meant. "N-no it's fine. I was only two so I don't remember her really, my father I knew better but when I was five he disappeared. I woke up one morning and he was gone, I was taken care of by an elderly couple but they grew sick when I was ten and I buried them when they finally succumbed to the illness. I've been traveling for three years to try and learn firebending like my father but no one excepted me, until now."

When I finished I turned to Zuko and heard Iroh speak up. "Wait your going to train him?! How? Your busy being the Fire Lord."

Zuko:"Izumi takes my place in six months, in my spare time I will train him but once she takes my place then I will focus a majority of my time helping him. I was hoping you might like to help too."

Iroh just sighed. "You aren't going to change your mind?"

Zuko just looked at him. "Very wel..."

You:"If it's too much trouble it's fine, I still have a few places I can try here and I know That republic city has some pretty good masters too..."

Zuko:"No I am going to train you, as I said Izumi takes my place soon. When I step down I will have all the time I need to train you, and this will make retirement interesting."

I smiled and nodded. "Thank you."

(Time skip)

The first few months of training were slow going. Zuko didn't have much time for training and Iroh was on a mission. I decided taking walks would be a good idea; I needed to get used to my new home and the places around it. I was walking down a street not far from the palace and heard a scream. "Ahhh!!"

I immediately ran to see if I could help. When I turned the corner I saw a girl around my age hanging on to the ledge of a third story window by just a few fingers. "Hey it's okay; I'll catch you!"

She either heard me or lost what strength she had left; because she started falling. I jumped and caught her before rolling on the ground so she wouldn't get hurt; I let go and looked at her. "Are you okay?"

She had hazel hair, and blue eyes; She was about 4 inches shorter than me. She looked up at me. "Yes thank you; I was trying to close the window and fell when the wind blew it out of reach." (Think the windows that swing open like shutters and you know the rest)

I got up and offered my hand; when she gave me her's I pulled her to her feet. "Well maybe grab a stick or something next time; don't want you getting hurt."

As I was saying that I felt the bruise from when I landed and rolled on my right arm. I rubbed it and hissed in pain. She grabbed my arm and started pulling me into the house. "Come on let's get you patched up."

I just did as she asked. When we walked in she sat me down on a wooden chair and went to get a bandage. "I'll be right back."

I looked around and saw that the place was covered with paintings and photos. There was a painting that really stuck out; it was of someone who looked like a peppier version of the girl I save and a really gloomy girl along with a mean looking girl and annoyed boy. I turned my head when I heard the girl coming back. "Who is that in the painting with you. Your friends?"

She laughed. "No that's my grandmother and her friends when they were real young. That's Ty lee my grandma, that's her friend Mei, princess Azula is the scary one and finally prince Zuko. Oh I forgot, I'm Su lee, nice to meet you..."

You:"Oh I'm (y/n) (l/n); nice to meet you too."

She smiled and grabbed my shoulder. "Now hold still while I clean your wound."

'It's only bleeding a little yet she treats it like a big problem'. I just didn't understand females.

(Time Skip)

That was how I met my first friend. But tomorrow is Princess Izumi's coronation; and after that my real training starts.

A/N: yeah it's going to be another 2-3 chapters before we get to the start of Korra. Bye!
