Chapter Six: The Woman

She took you to a house. It was nice and homey, like her. She seemed to have the touch of a mother. She had given you some new clothes and a blanket to keep you warm. She said you had a fever, not a bad one, but a fever none the less. You still couldn't explain what had happened earlier...

Now you were sitting in her kitchen watching her cook. Well, she was also talking to you, but you were lost in thought. She seemed to notice this and changed the subject in hopes that you would listen and, possibly, talk.

"If you don't mine me asking, What happened?"

'I don't know what happened!' you scream in your head, 'All I did was touch something in a time that I'm not from, and SUDDENLY I'm having these crazy flashbacks!' When you remained silent, she rephrased her question, "Your Scar. How'd you get it?" You felt like an idiot. "Oh, uh, well, I kinda did it myself," you say, "I didn't really have control of my powers, I MEAN, bending and I kinda accidentally burnt myself."

She seemed confused that you said powers instead of bending, but brushed it aside. "Why do you ask?" you said, trying to changed the subject. Her face fell as she answered you, "My son. He has a similar scar over his eye. I haven't seen him since he was a boy... Before he had the scar. You just... Reminded me of him..." The sadness was back in her eyes.

Within seconds you think of Zuko. 'He has a burn scar over his eye,' you think, but you quickly realize something, 'He said his father is the Fire Lord. That would mean his mother would be a rich queen, not some random lady you meet on the streets.'

"Oh...," you say, feeling sorry for the lady, "I hope you can find him."

The conversation had stopped there. You stayed with the woman; who's name, you learned, was Ursa, for about another day. Despite her efforts, you insisted that you leave as soon as you were better. You knew that staying in one place for to long could harm the future. Before you left she gave you some food and water. You thanked her and told her you'd keep an eye out for her missing son.

Now you were traveling between towns. The dirt road was empty except for you. You heard a cart behind you so you moved to the side of the road and kept walking. The cart passed you only to immediately stop. It looked expensive. It was mostly red and black.

A girl dressed in the same colors stepped out. She turned to glare at you. It was at this point that you realized that it was the girl on the blimp. "How dare you not bow!" she shouted. "What?" you asked, confused. "Are you deaf? I said how dare you not bow!" She practically screamed at you.

"Why would I bow to you?" You didn't want to be so rude, but someone this high and mighty needs to be put down. "HOW DARE YOU! I am the PRINCESS! Anyone not royalty must bow to me!" Instead of bowing you cross your arms and give her a look that says, 'You expect me to bow? Um, how 'bout no!'

"Agh! To the dungeon!" she exclaimed, motioning for her guards to arrest you. They grab your arms, holding too tight. "Hey! Let go!" you shout, struggling in their arms. As you continue to try and escape you accidentally shoot fire out of your foot. Her Royal Ego-ness dodges the flames and glares at you, thinking you had done it on purpose. "Oh, I have a very special place for you in mind," she says as your thrown into a prisoner box that was attached to her carriage. Immediately you start banging on the walls, but your trapped. After a while you give up and decide to wait it out. 'Hopefully it won't be too long...'
