Chapter 206
Zuko waited until the rise and fall of Katara’s chest grew deeper before moving. Not wanting to relinquish his hold on her he felt around for the pillow she’d bitten earlier and pushed it into the corner of the bed. Careful to keep her in his lap he scooted backwards until he was resting against it then pulled the sheet over her shoulders and tucked it around the two of them. He kissed her forehead, now that she was sleeping he felt confident to repeat what he had been saying to her Fire Nation in the common language “Much beloved Katara, precious wife, angel of my heart, future mother of my children, with this act I bind myself to you and vow upon my honor as a man to always cherish you. There will be no other woman than you. Even if you are unable to give me children, I will lay with no other woman than you. I have but one heart, it belongs to you. I have but one body, it belongs to you. I have but one mind, it belongs to you. All that I am, all that I have belongs to you my beautiful wife. If I have but one morsel of food, I will ignore my hunger to feed you. If I have but one loincloth, I will ignore my nakedness to clothe you. If I have but one breath, I will give it to you.“I am yours. Until the day Agni carries one of us to the spirit world I am yours. If you go first, I vow to chase after you. If I go first I vow to find a way to return to your side. If I am reborn I will search until I find you. Not even death can separate us. I am yours in this lifetime and the next, for all eternity. I am yours, my heart is yours.”Katara’s eyes cracked open after several drops of wetness landed on her face. She thought Zuko was crying for his mother. She always waited to cry after everyone else was asleep. She was about to touch his cheek to comfort him when she heard, “Katara, my beloved, I hope you will one day find the forgiveness and mercy to find a small portion of love for me among the hatred I’ve earned.”She closed her eyes forcing herself to ignore the way pain in his voice as he cried for her made her chest clinch. She could wait a little longer to rid her body of his semen just to avoid facing him until he stopped crying. She wasn’t expecting to fall back asleep.
Katara wasn’t sure if it was the pressure of a full bladder or Yue’s final pulses before making way for Agni awakened her. She opened her eyes slowly to find she was still in Zuko’s lap. She lifted his arm hoping he wouldn’t wake up as she attempted to escape from him. She had only raised it a few centimeters when his eyes opened, “Go back to sleep Zuko. I’m just going to the bathroom.”
He let go of her and stretched after doing so. Katara checked the pitcher on her way to the restroom. It was barely enough for drinking let alone what she needed to do. The only sizeable amount of water was in the tub but she didn’t trust Zuko’s leftover bathwater for several reasons. After doing her business she bent away his semen promising to do a more thorough cleansing after the sun rose. She stepped into the bedroom not expecting to see that Zuko was half-clothed.After seeing her puzzled expression he explained he wanted to spend time with mother before she was gone while pointing out of the window towards a familiar constellation. Katara nodded as he walked past her towards the room she just vacated; in the Fire Nation that group of stars was known as Ursa Major. She was fully dressed and holding the blanket they’d used when they were sleeping in the floor earlier.Zuko’s brow furrowed and he scratched his head when he saw her, “Why’d you get dressed, Katara?”“I wasn’t sure if you wanted company,” she answered with uncertainty. “I know for me sometimes it’s…I don’t know it’s…it doesn’t feel like she’s as far away if there’s another person there.”“I’ll stay here if you want to go alone,” Katara said extending the blanket to him. Zuko shook his head and wrapped his hand around her wrist, “No I just thought you’d want to sleep that’s all. You can come with me. I’d like that.”The two of them were careful not to disturb the other patrons or the sentries posted around the hotel as they crept towards the meadow they were starting to consider as their own. They saw torches in the distance so they settled for the edge of the community garden behind the hotel. Katara spread out the blanket while Zuko looked towards the sky and extended his arms. She was about to ask what he was doing when she heard him say, “Hi Mom.”She realized he was giving her a hug. She pushed the blanket a little farther away to give him privacy to talk to her. She had just resettled when he walked over to her.“Katara, is it okay if I introduce you to my mother?” Zuko stuttered unsure of her answer. He was relieved when she smiled and stood up.“I’d like that,” she replied. Zuko had told her the nighttime sky was important to Fire Nation culture as it was the opposite of the life giving sun and provided a link to their dead. Twice a year, on their birthdays and the anniversary of their death, Kali, the consort of Agni who ruled the underworld, allowed the spirits of the dead to visit their loved ones through the stars used to divine their fortunes the night they were born.Zuko stepped behind her, “Um, Mom, this is Katara, the girl I’ve been telling you about. Katara, that’s my Mom.”Katara bowed, “It’s nice to meet you Princess Ursa. I’ve heard nice things about you from Zuko and the Fire Lord. They both miss you very much. I’m sure Azula does too but I don’t spend much time with her.”She couldn’t see his expression but his hands were trembling when he wrapped them around her waist, “She likes you. I can tell by how she’s twinkling.”Katara wrapped her arms around his and squeezed reassuringly them before deciding to turn around and give him a hug, “I think that if we’d had a chance to talk I’d like her as well.”“I know you must have a lot to say to her so I’ll let you speak to her in private. The sun will be up soon,” Katara said pulling the blanket farther away from him.While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
