Lillian walked with her hands behind her back in between the tall book shelves of the royal library. The tall shelve's went on for what seemed forever, "Good Morning Princess, what brings you here so early?" Mac asked closing a book. Lillian looked over into Mac's hand to see that the book he was reading, "Great Falls of the earth Kingdom? Not bad..." Lillian smirked as she browsed the shelves, "I take it that you have read it?" Mac asked shock. Lillian nodded as she removed a thick book with a blue spine, "I had to learn about all the countries and Nations... Future queen remember..." Lillian sighed, "Oh, I guess so." Mac said confused, "So... How's Ling? I haven't spoken to her since I left..." Lillian asked with a smile, "Uh... she's kinda not talking to me at the moment..." Mac said nervously while rubbing the back of his neck, "That's odd? She always talked about you?" Lillian shrugged holding the book, "Anyway, what have you got there?" Mac asked snatching the book from Lillian, "Blind Love?"Mac pulled a sour face, "Are you having boy troubles?" Mac teased, Lillian snatched the book back and rolled her eyes, "You know, I happen to give great advice." Mac said wiggling his eyebrows, "I don't need any advice... Blind love is about a blind woman from the water tribe who falls in love with a war hero from the fire nation." Lillian held the book to her chest, "So what, they go happy ever after and all that?" Mac yawned, Lillian walked to the window where a few pillows were laid out, "You'll never know until you read it" Lillian hummed. Mac raised his brow, "Not going to work." Mac hummed back leaning against the shelf.

"Kiara ran her hands over Nabu's face, "It is you!" Nabu held Kiara's bloodied body in his arms, "It is me my love, if only I-" But Nabu was silenced by Kiara's dagger piercing his heart, "Come with me to the spirit world..." Kiara whispered before her eyes fell shut. Nabu twisted the dagger in his chest until his blood poured from his heart, "anything for you my love..." Nabu whispered as he too fell beside Kiara's body. Till this day, Kiara's singing can be heard in the South pole as she waits for Nabu's spirit to find her." Lillian closed the book. Mac sat up from his position, "What!?! That can't be the end?? Does he ever find her spirit???" Mac rushed grabbing the book from Lillian and rushing through the pages. Lillian burst out laughing, "Not a happy ever after... haha" Lillian continued laughing as the doors to the Library opened. Mac straightened but had a deep blush, "What are you doing in here?" Zuko's voice asked slightly irritated towards Mac. Lillian sat up and crossed her legs and stifled her laugh, "I was reading Blind love and Mac stayed to listened. But he did-" Mac suddenly smacked Lillian with a pillow, "I was intrigued that such small things please girls." Mac said in a matter of fact tone. Lillian growled before tossing the pillow back at Mac, "what ever..." Zuko mumbled, "So what are you doing here? Your not a bookworm." Lillian asked Zuko who seemed to stand a little uncomfortable, "I was looking for a sparring partner... the guards hold back." Zuko said staring at Lillian, "Are you telling me or asking me?" Lillian questioned with a raised brow "I'd much rather read another dramatic love story..." Lillian teased, "Ugh! Just stay here with your boyfriend then!" Zuko yelled and marched out leaving Lillian and Mac with blank expressions, "Wonder who pissed on his fire flakes?" Mac asked. Lillian stared at the door guilty, "He's worried about something, I'm going to go help him out." Lillian groaned standing up. Mac nodded and watched Lillian stroll out the room, ' she really has a nice as-' "Mac??" Azula's voice called, "Coming my lady!" Mac responded leaving the room.

Lillian walked to the training course to find Zuko practicing his fire whip. Zuko moved the flames around his body and then there was a loud bang as he cracked the whip. Lillian leaned against the pillar and couldn't help but stare at his shirtless chest and lose hair that fell over his face. The sweat dripped slightly on his bare muscled chest and Lillian felt a sensation of running her hands over his chiseled chest and abs,

---

  'Lillian slid her hands under Zuko's shirt and ran them across his smooth chest. Her finger's slid over the perfect muscle definition of his chest and stomach. Lillian found the bottom of Zuko's shirt and pulled it off of him roughly causing Zuko to stop and look at her. Lillian stared in Zuko's golden eyes'  

---

Lillian shook her head as the sudden thoughts that popped into her head, she also needed to let off steam, "Hey... still want to spar?" Lillian asked Zuko as he drank some water, "Where's your boyfriend?" Zuko asked harshly, "what's your problem? He's not my boyfriend! and so what if he was? Why would you care?" Lillian growled. She's had it with Zuko's attitude, "Just leave it." Zuko groaned walking away, "Oh... your jealous! That's funny!" Lillian gasped with a smile causing Zuko to spin around in defense, "jealous of what? I have more than he ever will and besides-" Lillian interrupted Zuko, "Besides, he can kick your ass in battle, if you can't beat me, you can't beat him." Lillian smirked crossing her arm's over her chest. Zuko growled as he took his stance. Lillian jumped down the stairs and smiled as she took her own stance, "Loser as to be the other's servant for an hour." Lillian grinned. Zuko just started attacking without agreeing to her terms. Lillian dodged Zuko's attack and swung her leg across forming a large arc of fire. Zuko bent back and kicked flames out of his feet causing Lillian to step back, "Whoa... he's pissed." Lillian whispered blocking his attack. Lillian charged at Zuko, "Rule one..." Lillian hissed sliding underneath Zuko's legs and flipping over into a roundhouse kick causing Zuko to fall face first, "never fight with your emotions" Lillian finished extending her hand to help him up but Zuko shot another ball of fire at Lillian, but Lillian was quick and dodged the attack with a smile. Zuko growled before spinning around on his back circling himself in flames. Lillian raised her hands and parted the fire only for Zuko to tackle her to the ground. Lillian laid on her back with Zuko towering over her breathing deeply. Lillian laid there frozen as Zuko laid on top of her staring at her with so many mixed emotions. Zuko could feel the heat rise from Lillian's body, "Zuko..." Lillian whispered Zuko felt his heart rate quicken at the sound of her voice saying his name. Lillian watched Zuko's eyes dart from her's to her lips and back at her eyes, "Lilly I-" Lillian lifted her head and kissed Zuko's lips lightly. When Lillian pulled away Zuko leaned forward and captured her lips harder than she had. It felt like old times, it felt like when they were in ba sing sai. Lillian wrapped her arms around Zuko's neck as he placed his hands on her hips gripping on the material. When Zuko pulled away he watched as Lillian's eyes fluttered open slowly, but instead of her demon shaped eyes he found her beautiful crimson eyes that he had grown to love all the years. Lillian smiled up at him and cupped his face, "I'm glad you feel the same." Lillian whispered as she pecked his lips, "I've been inlov- ahhh!" Lillian gasped as she held her head. Zuko pulled Lillian to sit up but when she opened her eyes... they were back to those cursed slits, "Lilly are you okay?" Zuko asked but only received a nod. Lillian looked over to the bench to see Azula, "Zuzu... I see your busy... so I'll make this quick. We are leaving in the morning. Lillian you should pack too." Azula said with her hands behind her back, "Where are we going?" Lillian questioned, "Ember Island for the weekend." Azula smirked. Zuko raised his brow, "Why?" Zuko asked blankly, "Father and his advisers are meeting so he wants the palace to himself." Azula said walking away. Zuko growled in anger and launched a large fire ball at the training dummy, "I... I need to go lay down..." Lillian said grasping her head again. Zuko nodded and carried out his training as Lillian left.

"It's in moments of decisions that your destiny is shaped"

"I bet you give men trouble with those crimson eyes of yours!"

"The scars under your shoulder's..."

"I would NEVER betray any of my friends for anything!"

" I care about you... "

"Lilly..."

"Lillian, my Fire Lilly..."

"Wake up Princess..."

"Battling a dark crystal is painful and difficult... But it's not impossible. You are all strong and you feel love for the people you care about. Friends, family... even enemies. What some Hunter's forget that on a powerful Tenshi... a Dark crystals effects are only temporary but on someone weak... the damage could be infinite..." Scarlet said leading a class through the halls. Lillian followed silently behind her Grandmother, "So what happens to us?" Ling asked afraid. Scarlet took a deep breath and faced the children,

"For some... You become the opposite of your true self. By becoming this you alone are weak but for other's... your memories will fade and people will try to change them to fit their needs until the deed is done. You're inner self will fight to the surface and once you take an independent breath... all hell will break loose." Scarlet smirked walking away leaving Lillian and Ling to gulp and grin.

-----

"So, How do we take out the benders?" A boy with Ocean blue eyes asked Lillian. "just leave dragon girl to handle it!" A younger girl said with milky green eyes, "Hey, Let her rest. She's been through a lot." Another girl said with blue eyes and small strands of hair in loops, "Hey, Lilly?" A bald kid with a blue arrow asked, "What's up little buddy?" 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lillian Jumped up out of her bed in a cold sweat trying to catch her breath, "so many voices..." Lillian whispered. The wind blew Lillian's curtains aside allowing her to see the sun rising into the blue sky. Orange and greens began mixing to become the pure blue of the sky.

The cool breeze kissed Lillian's skin allowing her to relax slightly, "Guess I should start packing."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mac stood in his room packing his things when Azula marched in and grabbed him around the collar, "You said that she would be on our side!" Azula growled causing Mac to raise an eyebrow in confusion, "I told you that every tenshi is different to the effects!" Mac hissed in return, "She's too strong, I thought that her emo-" 

"Well you thought wrong, consider our contract over!" Azula hissed,

"Are you breaking our deal?"Mac asked through gritted teeth.

"There was no deal to begin with. You broke your word so now I'm taking mine back." Azula said signalling for the guards to enter her room, "Lock him away!" Azula smirked.

Mac back away to the window, "You'll regret breaking a deal with me!" Mac shouted before he jumped out of the window and flew away from the palace, "What shall we do Princess?" Asked the main guard, "Make sure you find him or else I'll have your head!" Azula growled storming away.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lillian stood near the palanquin along with Ty Lee as they Waited for Zuko, Azula and Mai. Lillian blew the stray strands from her face as Ty Lee stood on her hands, "I can't wait to go to the beach!" Ty lee said as she walked around Lillian, "Me either!" Lillian hummed as she stretched her arms up. Suddenly the Royal Palanquin came with Azula and Zuko inside, and the one and only Mai in his side. Lillian quirked her brow but she knew that Zuko had liked Mai since they were kids, "Let's go on holiday!" Lillian cheered as she and Ty Lee intertwined their arms and rushed ahead. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" So.... She lives? hmmm, You have proven your Loyalty after all my pet..." Mac bowed, "I've always been your humble Servant, Lady Merci Lee." Mac said stepping aside to leave the room with an ocean of emotions running through his head... 'I'll never return to the temple anyway...' Mac thought to himself. Lillian's smile ran through his mind and then the sight of her demon eyes, "My apologies...Princess..." Mac whispered as he took off into the night sky towards the Temple to surrender himself for all of his crimes....
