27 Reek

When Miro told me that today was going to be the start of something new, I didn't know what he had met, but now, when I saw the emblem of the Earth Kingdom printed on the crates that had been snuck into the sewers, I knew what the food and medicine had really meant.

"The Fire Nation's time in CItadel is coming to an end" he told me. I'm not sure if there was news from the outside i hadn't been told about or if we were going to be the cause of the Fire Nation's end in Citadel, but I had seen what happened to people possessing contraband. Something simple could get you lashed in public, but aid from the enemy, well, I can still see the bodies hanging from the gates.

I don't know if the others shared my doubts about what we were doing, but none voiced any complaints. None of us had any love for the Fire Nation, that was true. Especially considering we were prisoners held between luxury and freedom, but in the end, our love for self preservation outweighed our hate for the Fire Nation.

We were part of something bigger than us now. What that meant for us was up in the air and while I feared what will become of us, the Earth Kingdom had given us something we never had before. A chance.
