Fire Queen

Chapter: 5

"So I was thinking," I said, we are flying back to the palace, we left early in the morning, everyone is still tired, especially Zuko who is laying with his head on my lap, Hua stares at me time to time, which I ignore she can't shake me, not again,

"Of course you were" Zuko chuckled making me hit him on his head, Katara who is sitting in front of us smiled at us, I know she was worried about us,

"What were you thinking?" Aang asks from Appa's head, "People living in the colonies are an example of how people from all over the world doesn't matter what nation, kingdom or tribe they belong to they can live in unity and peace"

"Okay so?" Katara asked, "World needs something like this, especially after hundred-year war separated the world so much, we can use unity like this"

"Where are you going with this?" Zuko asks lifting his head from my lap, "I think we should build a place where these people, where people from each corner come to a live together, what is the better way to show unity?"

"Ryu it's not that easy, first where? then under whose rule?" he asks,

"You are giving the land you captured back to earth kingdom, let's not do that, let's free the land, under no one's rule?"

"Ryu don't be crazy," Zuko said shaking his head, "I am not, listen to me, I and grandma once visited a village in which they decided who chief will be and he was replaced on peoples votes"

"It works in a small village but in a big place it will collapse" Zuko shook his head, I took his hand in my hands,

"Listen to me, I know I don't have a clear plan but give me a chance, give me a week to work on the idea, I have hope for this one, let me represent this in a week and then you can decide"

"Sure, why not, hearing what you have to say will not do any damage"

I turned to Aang, "We need to go to Southern water tribe, I need Sokka, he will help me, believe me, guys I think I am on to something great"

The next of the week went by quick, Sokka got on board the second I told him, unlike the rest he is a visionary, we start tossing idea's around back in the southern water tribe, the construction they are doing is amazing, Sokka is extremely proud of his watchtower,

When we arrived back at the palace we started putting idea's on paper, after staying up almost all week only sleeping for few hours a day normally in the exact spots we were working on we have enough to represent the idea, but Zuko is so done with me and this, he come here time to time trying to drag me to bed, Suki gave up a long time ago now she just sits with us,

"So I guess that's it," Sokka said looking at the papers on the table, I am standing on the opposite side, "Yeah I think so"

"I am so proud of us, I believe this will be the solution of what we have been trying to fix for a year now," Sokka said, picking up one of the paper, "Let's hope they hear it with an open mind"

I walked up to Sokka, "We have a problem" I said, "What?" he asked, looking through the table, the lack of sleep is making both of us a little mad at this point, "Name, we haven't decided on a name?"

"Right, I told you I like Elements united," He said, "Sokka it is a horrible name, if you came to me with that name, I would reject it too," I said putting my hand on his shoulder, he put his hand under his chin trying to think,

"I have another but I don't think you will like it, what about Republic City?" he asked, "Are you kidding me I like it, It bring all Elements and Non-benders together, why didn't you said it before?"

He surged in response, "So we have a name?" he asked, "I think we do"

"Republic city," he said like he is trying it in his mouth, "Republic city" I repeated,
