The tales of Lillian in Ba sing Sai

Ling ran across to the tea shop to try and find Lee but instead she found Lee's Uncle, "Why good morning Young Ling, would you like some tea?" Iroh asked as he placed the tea pot over the burning flame, "Good Morning Mr Lee's Uncle." Ling said as she stood straight, "Please, call me uncle." Iroh smiled. Ling returned his smile before looking around for Lee, "Anything I can help with?" Iroh asked with a raised brow. Ling seemed worried but instead she grew a large evil grin causing Iroh to shiver, "Actually... You can!" Ling said as she motioned for Iroh to bend down so that she could whisper in his ear. As Ling explained her plan Iroh's smile grew large as the both giggled and nodded, "Tomorrow night then!" Ling giggled.

The tale of Lillian and Ling

Lillian sat staring at the dress that Tania had given her, it truly was beautiful. Lillian sighed before packing the dress carefully back into its bag so that it doesn't get damaged, "I'll save it for a rainy day I guess." Lillian whispered. Tania came in with a stack of books, "These just came for you." Tania said as placed the books on the table, "For me?" Lillian asked as she rose her brow, Tania nodded, "From Mr Kenji, he seems to enjoy visiting my library even though he lives in the upper ring. He says he enjoys your stories." Tania said with smile. Lillian touched the spines of the books, "He reminds me so much of my grandfather." Lillian said as a tear ran down her cheek. Tania patted Lillian on the shoulder, "Kohana, I was wondering if you could do me a favor?" Tania asked sheepishly. Lillian smiled, "Anything." Lillian smiled, "Would you mind taking Ling to the Zoo for me today? She's been begging to go and I just don't do the animal thing." Tania said with grin. Ling walked in from the tea shop, "Sure, I'll take her." Lillian said as she smiled at Ling. Tania hugged Lillian and handed her a small basket, "Enjoy!" Tania said as she ushered Ling and Lillian out, "What's going on?" Ling asked, "I'm taking you to the zoo." Lillian said as she held out her hand. Ling had a huge smile, "You Are!!! THANK YOU!!!!" Ling cheered as she grabbed Lillian's hand and led her to the Zoo. Zuko watched through the window of the tea shop smiling at the girls as the ran towards the farming walls. A vision of Lillian sitting at the pond in the palace with a small child on her lap wearing the fire lady crown flashed through his mind. Zuko smiled at his thought as he waited some tables.

"Come on Kohana! I want to see the Turtle seal show!" Ling cried as she pushed through the crowd of people. Lillian smiled at Ling as she push with such determination, "I'm coming!" Lillian cried. Once Ling and Lillian were finally seated the show started. Ling and Lillian cheered at the performers and the cute animals. Ling's eyes widened, "OH MY EARTH KING!" Ling Cried, "It's A LIONSHARK!" Ling cried as she jumped onto Lillian's shoulder's to get a better view. Lillian's eyes widened as she saw the man lead the Lionshark to the tank, "It can't be..." Lillian whispered as she stood. Suddenly the Lionshark roared and Lillian knew, "Kasai!" Lillian gasped. Kasai's eyes perked up at the whisper of Lillian's voice. His yellow eyes scanned the crowd until he met his owner's teary eyes. Kasai turned to face Lillian but she shook her head, "Matsu!" Lillian hissed. Kasai sat down by the trainer but Lillian could see it in his eyes, Anger. But not for her but the trainer, "Ladies and Gentlemen, a very rare specimen from the firenation!" Called the trainer. Lillian felt her blood boil, "I'll get you out." Lillian whispered. Kasai seemed to understand and obeyed. Once the show was over it was getting late. Ling wanted to look at all the animals again for the 5th time, "We need to get back home."Lillian said in a dark whisper. Ling looked up at her friend, "Are you ok?" Ling asked as she took Lillian's hand. Lillian nodded but Ling didn't buy it. 

As they were about to walk out the Zoo the wall suddenly closed, "Hey! We're still in here!" Ling called as she placed her hands on her hips. There was a sudden woosh and Lillian was surrounded by dust and Ling released a piercing scream, "My, my, my... I'm sure we can get a price for these two girls." A tall skinny man said from small heap of earth, "Let. Her. Go." Lillian growled as she clenched her fists, "Kohana! Help me!" Ling cried fearfully, "Can't do sweet cakes. We need money and you see, you galz and that handsome Lionshark are going to get that for us." Suddenly someone grabbed Lillian's arms and held them back, "Ugh!"Lillian gasped, "This one smells like sunflowers Zen." Said the man as he sniffed Lillian's hair, "Nice." Said the Zen holding Ling, "What should we do with the pipsqueak?" Asked the man behind Lillian, "Oh, we could feed her to the wolfbats." Sneered Zen evilly. Ling began to cry, "Shut up child!" Zen yelled before slapping Ling, "Ahhh! Ow!" Ling cried. Lillian felt her blood boil and her shoulder's burn as the echo of the slap rang through her ears, " DON'T YOU TOUCH HER!!!!" Lillian screamed as she threw her head back and cracked the mans nose. As he began to stumble back Lillian flew into a back flip and kicked him hard in the chin before swinging around in a crouched position. There were hush whisper's as Zen smirked, "the lady know's a few moves." Zen said. Lillian stood straight, "You have no idea who you're dealing with." Zen said as he narrowed his brows, "Neither do you."Lillian said seriously, "Now, I'm not going to ask you again... Put. Her. DOWN!" Lillian screamed as she took a defensive stance. Zen placed his fingers at his mouth creating a sharp high pitch whistle. The earth beneath Lillian began to shake and then out of nowhere are large Mooselion appeared, "Hungry my pet?" Zen asked the Mooselion, "No please!" Ling cried. Lillian placed her fingers at her mouth and allowed a low sharp whistled. Zen raised his brow, "It only obey's me!" Zen chuckled. Lillian smirked, "I was calling a friend" Lillian said with a grin. There was a echoing growl that caused the mooselion to back away from his master slowly, "What is that?"Zen asked. Suddenly there was a large terrifying roar and Kasai leaped out from the shadows and charged at the mooselion. Ling's eyes widened in shock, "You little pest! MEN! Roll in!" Zen yelled. Lillian was suddenly surrounded by 8 earth benders, "Here, take your little cry pot." Zen said as he tossed Ling at Lillian's feet, "Kill them and then bring me the Lionshark" Zen said as he walked away, "Kohana, w-what are we gonna do?" Ling cried as she hid behind Lillian, "Stay close behind me." Lillian said as she got ready to fight. The first man sent 3 large boulders at Lillian and Ling, Lillian punched each boulder with a firms stance allowing small unseen flames to escape her hands. The next man threw a machine speed of rocks at her, Lillian barley dodged them. Lillian watched as all the men raised earth above them, "Kohana... I'm scared." Ling cried as she wrapped her arms around Lillian's leg. Lillian knew she couldn't do this without her bending but then a thought crossed her mind, "Remember how you always ask me so many annoying questions" Lillian said as she observed the men, "I always ask questions!"Ling screeched, "You have to be more specific!" Ling said fearfully, "How do I know so much about the Tenshi?" Lillian said as she relaxed her stance, "I have a question for you Ling." Lillian said with a smile. Ling raised her brow, "What could be so important that you'd ask me now???" Ling argued, Lillian grinned, "How good are you at keeping secrets?" as the words left Lillian's mouth white flames circled at her feet, "A Firebender!"Cried one of the men, "Kohana!? " Ling cried as she backed away from Lillian, "My name is Princess Lillian. I am the Princess of all the Tenshi." Lillian said as she spoke to Ling. Ling's eyes widened with a starry expression, "Your a Princess???" Ling hummed. Lillian nodded as she rolled her shoulder's back and suddenly two great wings appeared from her back. Lillian pulled her mask over her head, "Can you keep my secret Ling?" Lillian asked softly. Ling smiled and nodded, "Of course Princess." Lillian grinned, "Great... now time to knock some heads!" Lillian cried before charging at the men.
