Drabble: Time Flies
Time Flies
“I learned to bend water in vines at the side of my mother and father,” the young woman held her head high, hands balled into determined fists, “I mastered earthbending when I was seventeen. The Fire Lord herself taught me. I am twenty years old, and one element away from becoming a fully realized avatar. I’m ready.”
The temple elder cocked her head and stared at her sideways, pulling her wizened, scrawny, shriveled body up to cartwheel and flip down to her. “But do you think you can fly?”
All of her bravado spilled away behind a little girl’s grin.
Author's Note: Oh come on, we all know the next Avatar's going to be from the swamp. Yes, that temple elder is Ty-Lee, and in my head, the current fire lord for this is Zuko's granddaughter.
