I always seem to be getting that one feeling.
Not the one that involves my hair on fire but I get a feeling with that too.
The heat felt unusually thick, like it would cause suffocation. I felt alone in this idea though.
Nothing ever felt normal here.
Maybe it was because I was soon to be in crowned and a lot of people knew how much of a hothead I was, and even without fire I would be. Maybe it was the tensions growing higher with the Mindbenders. Maybe there were other rumors starting about something.
Either way. Something had to be done about the rising terror in the country.
"Pyro Kyden."
It was an order. Not a question or a statement. It was time for the Coronation Speech practice for the Ceremony at my crowning to become the Pyro Phoenix Queen.
I take a breath and finish putting on my robe. Nervously shaking, I walk outside, feeling more power rise within me and the temperature rising around me. I always felt incredibly powerful during the day.
It was because of the Sun. Fire was in the Sun and vic versa. The Moon controlled the Water and the Sun controlled the Fire. It made us opposite.
I intended to change that though, and make a better friendship between our nations when I became Queen.
Sometimes, being older made you have more decisions and responsibility. But it also gave maturity and ability to be able to handle these things.
When I finally got to the stage to start practice, a couple of my family members were there to ptreview what I said for support.
It did helped, a lot.
"Hello, people of Fire. I have come here today to address..."
The speech flowed out from my mouth easily but it didn't have enough.
I seriously had some revision to do.
When I am done, there is slight clapping and I bow for them. My father calls from my right to dismiss me from my place. He smiles slightly,trying to encorage me
As I emerge back into my room, I spot a figure next to the door.
"Aiden... What are you doing here?" I ask him, a half smile on my face. He chuckles.
"Waiting for you to get back, Pyro Queen," he says. My face gets hot and goes red at the sound of that name.
"Sh-shut up," I stutter.
Aiden is my one and only best friend. I mean, I have other friends but he's the one who always has my back.
No matter what.
He knows what it takes to make me blush and he constantly uses those tactics against me.
He's cute. Black hair, dark eyes, tall and dangerous looking with a scowl pasted to his face most of the time.
He thinks his mother is the best person in the world because she and he were abused at home by their father. And his mother survived until the day he finally left their family. Finally, after his little brother was born, they were free to move from that town. She never let him see her cry. She told me, and he thinks she is amazing because of it.
I admire her too.
The sacrifices and the things she had to endure. That's a brave and amazing woman.
Aiden's tries to be happy all time. He's sad a lot, because of his nightmares, but somehow, he manages to pull through. He's my hero in many ways.
Anyway, it seems as though there is some tension between us, I silently usher him out of my room and he silently goes out.
The tension between us was nothing compared to much else.
Still.
Something felt off and awkward between me and Aiden, like he was trying to tell me something.
I always get a feeling when something bad starts to happen though.
For example the day multiple explosive ready to go off out side the palace were found, hours before I had felt the need to leave and stay out of the palace. This had only happened when I was about eight years old and since then I've always relied on my senses for my actions.
Why they had done it? I still had no idea. To hurt us of course, but what was the intention and motive beside that?
Anyways.
I needed to seem almost untouchable now. They were apart of the people I had to lead now. The good Mindbenders at least.
I had no choice but to ignore the situation with Aiden and attend to my duties.
"Pyro Kyden" was my title for now, and then it would change
I take a breath and use my Fire to warm up a bit. Within the palace was cold air so I needed warmth of the fire.
I intended to light a little Fire, but my mind wasn't on top and the fire raged in my hands, making me burn my arm at the slightest.
Sometimes, I do that. Mostly, I didn't care if it happened, because I no longer registered pain from it and the mark always went away after a while.
When I lowered the Fire's level some, and Air sweeps in and blows it out. I am angry, until a sudden and familiar water ring, circles around me. It calms me some.
I laughed to my self and greeted my friends, Maya, of the Water Fortress and Tate, of the Air Emirates.
Most likely, they were here to cheer me up about my mood. And they were always allowed here. Other Elementals were free to travel where they pleased, as long as they didn't disrupt and corrupt the peace that the land shared.
I greet the dual only to notice that some one was missing, three someone's. A Metal, a Mind and an Earthbender.
"Where are Silver, Kamon and Avani?" Silver is a Metalbender Kamon is a Mindbender, but good one, and Avani an Earthbender.
"Not coming," says a voice from behind me.
"Aiden..."I say. He's back again. "Why wouldn't they...?"
He shakes his head in dismay giving away nothing. Of course.
"Oh, Pyro Queen," he says. My face gets hot.
"Q-quiet you!" I yell at him. He laughs at me and rubs my head like I'm a pet.
I growl at him. He always manages to annoy me. No matter what.
Something was up around here.
"Guys? What's up?" I ask. I get no response.
Everyone looks at the floor instead of at me. Yep. Something's wrong here.
I sigh and sit on my bed. No one wants to talk today. I have to accept it and wait.
I grow angry My anger is something not always in my control. I feel left out by my friends. Did they think I would freak out in reation to whatever was happening? Was it something they could release out of their secret place yet?
I place my head in my hands and stay silent. The silence travels throughout the room as everyone keep to their own thoughts.
But not for long
My informer rushes in to my room, with an obvious worried look on his face. I was still blushing. He was panting and out of breath trying to tell me something. When he finally caught his breath, he stood up straight and tall.
"Pyro, the Mindbenders and some Firebenders, are corrupting the city."
I gasped and ran back to my room as tears started to fill my eyes.
He'd know how to help me, somehow.
Fire radiated from me, out of anger. I was pleased by it. I was going to fight this. The Fire that radiated from me was both painful and pleasurable.
It was exciting.
This would be my moment of triumph...
Ok, that sounds a bit like I was the one destroying something here, but I'm the good guy here, the victim in this.
Mindbenders would outmatch me though, if I wasn't careful.
But I wasn't going to let my country down easily, not now, not ever. I was winning this.
Wait.
Wait, could Kamon be apart of this?
No no, he was to sweet and harmless to do this.
No.
I had to go and see for myself.
