Tenna declined to participate in the docu-movery right away, and Iroh had to admit, he wasn’t upset at the news. His mother certainly seemed relieved, adding on that “the poor woman has been through enough without that nincompoop Varrick bringing up bad memories and displaying them on film.” Even though Iroh had not gone with … Continue reading

For The Best (Power Struggle, Chapter 15)
A few minutes later, there was a knock at the door. Iroh watch Tenna stood up as if she expected to answer it, and then sit back down when she apparently remembered this wasn’t her house. The sound of a servant’s footsteps tapped across the hall to the front door. There was the groan of … Continue reading
Iroh’s Solution (Power Struggle, Chapter 14)
Shyu froze on the steps at his father’s voice. His arms were filled with two bags of spicy cheese doodles, a can of peanuts, and a soda. It was actually the second load he’d gathered for Mica; she was already up in his room consuming the first half. He winced and placed the food in … Continue reading
Accusations (Power Struggle, Chapter 13)
Shyu didn’t take his father’s warning glare lightly. In fact, Mica tried several times to talk to him during the trip there, and he just shook his head in a way that conveyed that they were better off pretending they were off speaking terms for the rest of eternity. She took the hint easily enough, … Continue reading
The Getaway (Power Struggle, Chapter 12)
Izumi stared up at the light. She saw Tenna falling, could sense it happening with her powers. A part of her reacted in the same way she did when Iroh and Zarah were children. She instructively reached out a hand to catch Tenna. But this wasn’t like when her children tripped on a loose rug … Continue reading
Interruptions (Power Struggle, Chapter 11)
“Okay, now I know I’ve seen that purple mushroom before…” Shyu groaned. Just when he thought he was making progress. He leaned wearily against a log. Someone will notice I’m gone. He knew it. And when they do, Dad will send everyone–guards, police, even the Avatar to look for me… But how would they know … Continue reading
Disturbance (Power Struggle, Chapter 9)
Man, this is boring. Shyu slumped in his chair, grateful for once to be seated off to the side and away from the ever-watchful camera lenses. At least here he didn’t have to pretend to be interested in the old Fire Sage’s every word, unlike his parents, grandmother, and brother in the row ahead. Beside … Continue reading
Personal History (Power Struggle, Chapter 8)
Tenna shifted in place, trying to find the right excuse to edge away from the metal clan woman who had spent the last ten minutes rambling on about her great city and her great family and just how great everything was. Tenna didn’t even mind that so much. Suyin seemed like a decent sort. The … Continue reading
Zarah (Power Struggle, Chapter 7)
The last coronation Bolin had attended had not gone particularly well. Actually, it was less of a coronation and more of a crazy dictator declaring her intentions to dictate crazily. The only other coronation that had happened in his lifetime was that of Firelord Izumi. He’d been thirteen at the time, less concerned with world … Continue reading
Opportunity (Power Struggle, Chapter 6)
Mica had narrowed her choice of outfits down to two. A cute little red and orange sleeveless dress that was just short enough to annoy her dad. Or a classy blouse, jacket and and pencil skirt all in very deliberate un-Fire-Nation blue. “How about it, Bandit? Red or blue?” She looked both to her companion … Continue reading
