resolve

i was placed in charge of a legion of fire benders...

numbering around 100 benders and 100 non-benders... all armed with a variety of weapons...

i already had renown in the fire nation, as the most talented bender in the history of fire benders...

my brother and sister watched as i was placed inside a carriage, with my own forces surrounding me, and sent off onto few large metal ships, towards ba sing se...

....

my uncle iroh was already laying siege to ba sing se, along with his son.... he had no concerns, or rather he couldnt have any concern as to what happens inside the capital, leaving it inside his brothers hands....

of course he had soldiers loyal to him inside the capital watching over the children, and when news reached him...

he was out raged!

"OZAI!"

the spirit of youth seemed to flow through his body... he crumpled the letter, and burned it to ash, leaving no evidence of his contacts in the royal family....

he heaved a great disbelief that ozai would place to much responsiblity on a childs shoulders not even of age yet, and to conquor ba sing se of all cities?

this was unbelievable...

even for him who knew of his brothers bad sides, this development was astonishing to say the least.

he exited his tent, on the mountain surrounded by many, many, if not hundreds of soldiers upon a mountain above the walls... they peered down and saw the vast city of ba sing se...

"what will happen when he arrives here?"

his brow scrunched up, and he heaved a great sigh... his son that looked like him, with the verility of youth, stepped forth, and looked at his father, with an obvious query on his face...

"your niefu, is coming to support the war effort." he announced.... while everyone else who heard him, looked at him in disbelief...

shock evident on their faces...

iroes men were loyal fierce and strong, veterens of war, the best of the best... and they felt it was a crime to bring a child into a mans life, even if that child was insanely talented, and revered by many, and a crown prince to boot, this was no life for a child...

and they wondered what exactly was going to happen to him... will he die like a common begger? or will he rise to ocasion?

....

on the head of the armada a small graceful boy, with a great sense of majesty exuded from his body, but above all it was his eyes....

a general named Zhou Chen... a burly man, wielding large hammers on his hips, and a large grey beard and brown eyes could be seen standing behind him...

"my prince, you should go inside, where its warm, not out here where its cold and wet... let the men deal with any problems that arise..."

he thought of the boy as a figure head, not knowing what went on in the castle he held the same opinion that a child should not be playing war...

oh how he was wrong...

a blazing fury could be seen in his eyes... looking to burn the around him, as he gazed at the sea... hoping it would chill his cold heart... and a plan arrised in his mind, as he looked upon the great armada that was sent with him...

he would turn these men into loyal subjects, conquor ba sing se, and than return, a war hero, all the while saving his siblings from the clutches of his deranged father.
