Clay in the Kiln - chapter 3

Chapter 2

________________

The morning mist enveloped the camp as the first sign of dawn began to paint the sky a soft blue. The sun's rays illuminated the clouds, hanging in thick, fluffy patches in the sky, smattered with colors of pink and gold.

Standing outside of his tent, already dressed in his royal garb and armor, freshly brewed tea in hand, General Iroh breathed in the new day. The troops were beginning to stir as the commanders made their rounds, ensuring everyone was prepared for the next round of combat.

Iroh sipped on his tea as Lu Ten joined him at his side. The crown prince beamed at his son. "Can I interest you in some ginger tea? It helps with boosting energy."

Lu Ten smiled at his father, thankful but obviously declining in his silent manner. "Dad, the moment I require tea for energy is the moment I retire."

"Oh come now, it's nothing to fuss about. We are human, and we require nourishment in many ways. If not physically, then spiritually." Iroh said blissfully, taking another sip of the spicy, robust tea. "And this is definitely spiritual nourishment. To me, at least."

"I'm well aware, dad," Lu ten smiled.

Iroh's beaming eyes softened as the sounds of the soldiers congregating became louder. He gazed for a moment longer before Lu Ten bowed, saluting his father. Iroh set his tea aside and did the same.

"Stand tall, my son," Iroh said, a command laced with love. Lu Ten nodded.

"I do because of you, general."

Lu Ten turned on his heel, his posture becoming stick-straight, marching effortlessly like the captain he was.

Like the prince he was.

Iroh was then joined by the other commanders, flanked on both sides as they watched the troops commence the next raid.

If not that day, then soon; Ba Sing Se would be theirs.

The damage done to the wall that day would be heavy on the mind of Seung, who was traveling by the monorail to his home that morning. He felt caught between fear for his comrades and the anticipation of seeing his fiancee. His heart could barely be contained within his ribcage.

He imagined how he was going to surprise Haruka. Was she asleep? Was she awake? Was she somewhere in the study, reading that poetry book again? Her slender, delicate hands turning each page; her jade eyes intently taking in each word that wove together stanzas as beautiful as her.

He tried to turn his focus on what activities they could do together while he was home. He could escort her through the shopping district; he wouldn't deny her anything. Perhaps he would swallow his pride and go watch one of those plays she was so fond of; but... it would put him to sleep. He quickly brushed the idea away.

Regardless, he was excited to have her back on his arm; his poised, pristine, porcelain doll.

"FEN!! Fen, can I get your help?!"

Fen jumped at the sound of Haruka's screams. She bolted off of the cushion she sat on. She'd been awake for some time, toiling away at the embroidery pattern she'd been working on for the past week, waiting for Haruka to awaken.

She appeared at the doorway, looking inside in a frenzy and nearly screaming as Haruka's fine bedding had been smattered with blood. The patchwork on her shoulder had come off, and her sleeping gown was heavily stained as well.

"Oh no! Oh no!" Fen panicked. Haruka regretted making such a fuss and getting her riled up.

"It's fine, it's fine," she insisted, standing to begin gathering everything that had been soiled; but the moment she stood, her vision became speckled and starry, and Fen had to lunge forward to make sure she didn't fall backwards onto the hard floor.

"Haruka!!"

"I'm fine," Haruka repeated, slurring her words. She sat back down upon her bed, catching her bearings.

"I'm going to get some water and fresh bandages, just stay still!"

Fen raced through the hall, to the storage closet where the medical supplies she'd used the previous night had been stored. She then poured Haruka a glass of water, and as she turned back and ran past the foyer, the door burst open, causing her to scream again and to drop everything as the water spectacularly caused a mess around her -

-which caused Sueng to scream as well, dropping his pack. The moment screeched to a halt as the two regained their composure.

Fen's face lost every bit of color.

"M-Master Sueng! O-oh you're... you're home!"

Seung hesitated. Fen's tone was more fearful than usual. "Fen; are you alright?"

Fen faked the world's worst smile.

Seung knew immediately.

"Just... Tell me what happened."

                                  _____________________

"Quite a homecoming, eh captain?" The doctor said as he left. Seung rubbed his face.

"Yeah. Thank you for coming on such short notice."

"Wandering out that far into the city; she should be more careful."

"Oh trust me, we're going to have a discussion about that. Thank you again."

The doctor bowed, turning to make his way to his next stop. Seung closed the door, breathing in deeply as he did his best to not become too emotional about the matter at hand. He returned to his room, where Haruka sat up, her shoulder now stitched back together and bandaged more securely. Fen sat at her side, unable to face Seung through her guilt.

"Fen. May I speak with Haruka in private?"

Without another moment's hesitation, Fen stood and quickly left, closing the door behind her. Seung looked at Haruka, taking Fen's place next to her. Haruka looked at her fiance as he reached forward, stroking her cheek.

"What in the world were you doing?!" Seung asked. Haruka shook her head.

"Fen and I... we went out. I wanted to see the new play in town. I heard the explosions."

Seung's face steeled.

"I... I don't know what came over me. I just knew I had to try and see what was happening. I thought about you."

Seung's eyes softened considerably. He took her hand in his, kissing her knuckles.

"And then we were fending off some punks. That's it."

"Haruka. We talked about this. Fen's map specifies where you're allowed to wander off to. The theater is past your bounds."

"So don't punish her. Please."

"I won't. But I want to know why you did this. Every time I think you're going to settle down, I catch you breaking curfew, or wandering off, or... or getting yourself cut open! Haruka, darling... I can't see you like that. It breaks my heart," Seung said, pleading for an explanation.

Haruka looked at him, doing her best to maintain her composure. She didn't know what emotion to feel. Joy that he was safe? Frustration that he was home and now in charge again? Sadness at his own despair?

"... I'm just restless."

Seung absorbed the information. "Restless."

He nodded.

"Restless," he repeated. He still held her hand in his, and he patted her knuckles as he smiled at her. "Well... we'll try to fix that while I'm here. At least once you're able to stand. At the very least, I'm home, even if it's temporary; and I'm back with you by my side. And we can fix this restlessness of yours, so we can prevent any further... accidents."

Haruka remembered her interest in being and actress, and she used this to create a perfect smile.

She wished she could be happier, despite the relief she felt that he was back in one piece for the time being.

But once again, she was something that needed to be 'fixed'.

Her heart felt heavy in her chest.

"I'm so happy you're home, Seung.”

YEAGHHH MY TLOK OCS

(Reblogs > Likes)

[m-0thmanz]

oh, god theres more

[shenanigans-and-imagines]

Have you ever considered making an Atla OC?

I actually did years ago. 😂

In a slight AU some of the airbenders survived the initial attacks on the air temples and went into hiding. My OC was going to be an air bender who’s been going around messing with the fire nation. With her abilities and flair for the theatric, she can the name “The Crow” and some belive she’s a spirit.

She had a pet Pea-crow, which in my mind was a mix between a peacock and a crow. About the size of a crow, black, with a long tail and silver eye like designs on the end.

She would eventually join the Gaang and shenanigans ensue.

It honestly wasn’t very good. And Avatar is just so perfect that I don’t really want to mess with it. But, who knows. I might find a way to make her work and revive her.

[rosetherandomreblogger]

So, since I know Legend of Korra exists and I don’t wanna ignore it, I made my own Avatar oc, and she’s born an earth bender!

Except, also like... modern?

So the premise of it is that the entirety of the ATLA map is in the Bermuda Triangle, and they have a v v strict isolation policy. Anybody going outside of their nation is practically unheard of, but going outside where nobody else has come back from? Bitch, you are very dead.

So naturally, my oc who wants absolutely NOTHING to do with bending because all it has brought her is pain and sadness and her dad being an asshole, decides that’s where she wants to go. She ends up in NYC, where she meets the TMNT (something akin to @taytei ‘a designs because I love mostly blind Raphael) and for awhile, everything is chill. She gets mental breakdown tattoos every now and again that also symbolize part of each tribe (she loves seeing other people bend, she just has a personal aversion to it) and everything is sorta chill. She gets romantically invested in either Leo or Raph (everyone is an adult, it’s fine) and meets up with everyone regularly.

One day, she’s wearing a green dress (she hates the color green, she feels too easily identified as the earthbending royalty she is) and the bounty hunter her family sent after her (nobody knows she’s the avatar yet- she kept it hidden) spots her and chases her for awhile until she accidentally reveals she’s the avatar. Bounty hunter freaks out and goes back to the earth kingdom. She freaks out and stays isolated in her apartment for awhile and wears anything that isn’t the earth kingdom royalty colors. She only goes out for errands and work, and even then keeps it to the bare minimum, talking to whichever turtle is her love interest whenever he comes to visit her.

At one point, a week passes and nobody hears from her. So the guys decide to check it out and find a letter saying she’s been taken and that she’s sorry she didn’t get to properly say goodbye. So naturally, they all chase her and find where she went, getting there about a month after she goes. When she sees them again, she’s deaf- apparently, a small explosion occurred when she was forcibly removed from her apartment that deafened her, but neither of her parents believe her, so she’s sorta stuck. The only saving grace is the fact that everyone else in the palace does believe her, and they discreetly sign what her parents or anybody else says so she can understand it. The five of them break out and make it look like they’re going to the northern water tribe when they’re actually going back to NYC to make hearing aids that can let her hear again and to live there.

When they get back, she notices a letter from her landlord. Apparently, while she was gone, somebody bought the entire apartment complex and gave it to her. Impressive. Okay. She’s now a landlord who won’t kick anybody out and is super forgiving cause she also goes back to her job. It’s an office job and somebody told her boss that she had gone on vacation. Cool. Okay, now time to live in peace with the occasional bounty hunter who leaves dishonored and with the message that if her family truly wants her back, they’ll have to bring back her cold, dead body.

This is what she looks like.

(The second and third picture are the character and background separated, just in case anybody wanted that)

All I need for her is a name. Any ideas?

[mattymeteoro]

she has no name yet

So in rewatching Avatar as an Adult, Author, and Musician.

I've realized it is one of the few works of genius that has dared to grace our unworthy asses.

So I've decided to dedicate my entire blog to Avatar: The Last Airbender.
