Hi everyone, long time no update! I decided to try my hand at the 50 sentence challenge (Set Gamma) and here is the first 10. Hope you enjoy them!
#01 - Ring
Normally the front rows of the stadium were the most coveted by those who wished to see the fights, but when the Lord and Lady sparred the seats were left empty - everyone knew that their battles could not be held within the confines of the ring set around them.
#02 - Hero
Zuko was the boys' hero - not because he was the Fire Lord, but because with his fathers' help they could complete his most difficult puzzle (a picture of turtleduckings) in just under an hour.
#03 - Memory
It didn't matter that he was now in his twenty's; sometimes he woke up and thought that the warm arms wrapped around his middle were those of his mother and not those of his wife.
#04 - Box
The curiosity was killing her, she just had to open it – what she found was a golden hair clip, a turtleduck feather and a small piece of torn blue ribbon that matched the one around her neck - so that's why it was frayed…
#05 - Run
She wouldn't, couldn't, obey his command to leave the thrown room – she had made a promise to always stay with him and even a towering wall of flames could not make her break it.
#06 - Hurricane
"Leave it," she told the servant who had started to clean up the toys thrown haphazardly around the room, "if my husband and son were able to take them out before, they will be able to put them back when they return."
#07 - Wings
It was when he slipped the robe from her shoulder that he saw it, "Katara… you have a tattoo...?" and before she could respond he followed the inked feathers with his lips, praying that she would never try to fly away from him.
#08 - Cold
They were awoken by something moving up between them underneath the sheets – can I sleep with you, my room is cold – never mind that it was the hottest summer in a decade.
#09 - Red
"These are blue in the Fire Nation" he said before taking a bite and discovering that whatever the skin color the fruit tasted just as sweet no matter where it was grown.
#10 - Drink
"Oh I do love tea" Iroh sang to his nephew the night of his wedding, handing him two full cups before winking one golden eye, "Did you know that some can even have positive effects if drunk in the bedroom?"
The next set will be up shortly, within a week I'd guess. Also I've started that other Ursa/Jee story I had been thinking about. Right now I only have one chapter up, but the second will be up either tonight or tomorrow. There will be some Zutara in it later, so check it out if you want!
