Chapter 5 : The meaning of “The Sacrifice”

Captain Savin rather tentatively walked into the Fire Lord's tent. Zuko had calmed down a great deal and sat drinking tea. “Im not in the mood for company Savin,” Zuko said without turning.

“That may be my Lord, but I do believe that I have information about your sacrifice that is crucial.” Savin replied softly. Immediately he had Zuko's full and undivided attention.

“My Lord it seems that Sokka believes you are going to eat him.” Savin said.

Zuko flushed a little, that had played a major part of the innumerable fantasies that had plagued his thoughts since he had found his Prey, “Well... among other things. He must find it difficult to think of himself with a male. Don't worry Savin, it will be my pleasure to teach him.” Zuko said with a lustful twist of his lips.

Savin went red, “Errr.. my Lord, no! That is not what I meant. Sokka believes he is to be sacrificed literally. He believes he goes to the capital to his death. To help ensure peace in the Fire Nation Sokka believes that your Dragon will eat him alive. And he is willing to allow it, he is willing to let you kill him.”

Zuko's jaw dropped, as he stared at his Captain in surprise. Without another word Zuko shot out of his seat, and went to see a certain ex-water nation warrior. Savin smiled in satisfaction, the young warrior did not deserve to think that he was only valued because he was, how had he put it “Dragon Fodder.”

Zuko stormed into Sokka's tent, he froze when he saw the warrior sitting curled up in the far corner of the bed. Sokka's head jerked up when he saw Zuko, and Zuko saw the effort Sokka took, as he straightened up and the smiling mask was slammed on.

Zuko expelled an exasperated breathe. Really sometimes the Sokka was so dense. The Fire Lord walked to the books and removed the book on the ceremony, he waved it at Sokka. “Did you even read this!” he demanded.

“I.. I.. saw the first illustration, and I couldn't go on. Look Zuko, don't worry about it, I'll go through the book the night before the ceremony, I swear. I wont embarrass you or let you down. I.. I am just trying to enjoy this last week okay. Then I'll do what is needed, At least your sacrifice will be a warrior and not some scared village girl.” Sokka said as he stood and walked to a small table to pour himself some tea. Zuko was going to say something, but Sokka suddenly turn to him again.

“Look Zuko, I am glad you are here, there is something I need to ask you, a small favor, that will probably be a benefit to the fire nation.” Sokka said seriously.

Zuko tilted his head, “Ask!”

Sokka took a deep breathe, “Look exiled or not, I think maybe Katara and Aang will be mad at you if they discover what is going to happen. If they think you killed me, it may damage your relationship with them. So I think that it is best that you let it be known that Adventure Fire is your sacrifice. You need to tell all your men to only refer to me as Fire. Anyway after I’m gone, I don't want Katara to needlessly search for me, she has too much responsibilities to waste her time on that. So here is the personal part of the favor,” Sokka's smile was weak as he looked at the Fire Lord, “Can you get some of your trusted men, to take what some of my clothes and the Space Sword, and whatever remains there may be of me, at throw them down a canyon somewhere? Preferably a canyon where monsters are known to dwell. To totally avoid suspicion, you have to wait at least a few months, before maybe pointing Katara or Aang in the direction of the Canyon. Presto, they will 'find' the remains, think some random monster got me and I'll probably get a rather sweet burial.” Sokka's smile got more confident as he laid out his 'plan'.

Zuko's eyes narrowed. He forced his voice to sound normal. “So Sokka you save our Fire Nation by getting eaten, and take no glory from it, you do not get a proper burial for many months, and you are alright with everyone thinking you died an unremarkable death in some canyon some where. You think this is a good plan?”

“Course it is, you get to live, the fire nation stabilizes and the relationship between the 4 nations is maintained, with the loss of one insignificant non-bender. I'm just a simple meat and sarcasm guy, as normal as they get. Not many people will even notice I'm gone and not more then a handful of people are going to miss me. The death of some nation-less guy is hardly a big deal, your Dragon was pretty smart there. We follow my plan and it will really be a win-win situation for the 4 nations” Sokka said with a cheeky grin and a shrug.

Zuko's fist smashed into the table, turning it into dust. “Damn it Sokka, if not for the fact that you would be hurt by it, I would go to the Southern Water Tribe, and turn that bloody place to ash!!!! WHAT THE HELL DID THEY DO TO YOU?!!”

Sokka swallowed nervously, “Err.. Zuko relax okay! What every do you mean?’

Zuko walked towards Sokka, forcing him to back up and sit in a chair, as the Fire Lord raged above him. “When the hell have you ever been insignificant? Huh? You are the plan guy, YOU got the Avatar past the most elite forces in the World. YOU with a freaking BOOMERANG took out one of the most feared assassins in the world! YOU broke through the defenses of the Legendary Boiling ROCK! You fucking took down a fire Nation fleet almost single handedly, WHEN the fire nation was at its strongest. AND YOU crafted all those plans that created the peace you are lauding! How dare you let anyone get away with calling you insignificant?” Zuko glared at the Warrior who sat below him, Sokka's mouth doing a good imitation of a fish.

Zuko having been exiled himself understood the loneliness, of being abandoned and rejected better then any other could. Only Zuko had always had his Uncle with him, Sokka in exile had, had no one. He reached out, and controlling the fire inside him, touched Sokka carefully on the jaw. Immediately heat drained from him into the warrior, but in a gentle wave. Zuko stroked Sokka’s jaw, feeling the muscles beneath his fingers slowly being to relax as the warmth invaded them.

“Sokka! Only a bunch of koalamutton heads would choose to have a bender over you on their team! Benders are a dime a dozen, but there is only one Sokka!” Zuko said with a possessive smile. “I suppose I should thank the Southern Tribe for being so stupid, it is thanks to them after all, you now belong to me.” Sokka looked at Zuko with uncomprehending eyes. “The Dragon’s Prey is not eaten by the Dragon, Sokka, ..well.. not in the way you are thinking... the sacrifice is not killed. To the Fire nation, your life is considered as important as mine, for if you are lost- so am I. You are called a sacrifice because once the Fire Spirit identifies its prey, there is no real choice on the prey’s part. What you may could be without me, any other destiny you may have had, has to be surrendered, as the prey’s being, life, soul and future are claimed totally and bound to me. I have said it before, you are mine, now Sokka, and not even death will be allowed to take you from me.” Zuko’s hot breath washed across Sokka’s face, the whole thing was making the water nation warrior very, very uncomfortable.

“So, what? I’m to be like your bodyguard, or advisor or something?” Sokka asked innocently.

Zuko’s laugh sent shivers down Sokka’s spine. Zuko wanted to watch Sokka’s face as the truth of his role sank in. He stepped back and handed Sokka the book. “Here, the true pictures you need to see are on the back, have a look.”

Sokka frowned at the Fire Lord, but he took the book and looked in the back. The illustration he had seen that had convinced him he was to be eaten, was a drawing of a female who had a Dragon around her, the way a batpython curled around its prey. Its jaws were wide open and it had seemed to him that the Dragon was going to burn the girl to a crisp and snap her in two. The later illustrations showed not the Dragon, but the host of the fire spirit with the same girl, only this time there were involved in activities that made Sokka go redder and redder. Everything was tastefully drawn, but the explicit content was not something he was used to. He could not help but notice the major change in how the sacrifice was drawn. In the first illustration the girl looked innocent and scared, the last illustration in the book was an exact copy of the first, except the girl this time seemed to be much more powerful, and she seemed to have a sense of sensuality and sexuality about her that fairly oozed out of the page. The position was the same, but from her shimmering aura no one would believe she was going to be eaten.

Sokka dropped the book as if it had burned him. His face went pale, then green, then pale again, and finally flushed red as the implications finally sake in. He jumped up, “What the HELL is that Zuko, if this is some kind of joke, its really not funny!”

Zuko had thoroughly enjoyed the play of emotions on Sokka’s face. He smirked, “No joke Sokka, now you see what it means to be the Dragon’s Prey?”

“Hell no, you are mistaken, look we both are into females. I don’t know about you, but I have never been attached to males. Your dragon is wrong Zuko, Maybe what it means is that I will find your mate for you.” Sokka said his mind going into over drive.

“Sokka, Sokka, Sokka, the Dragon is not mistaken, even that small touch on your jaw, drained the excess fire from me into you, and whether you realise it or not your body responded to the touch. It does not matter who or what you were attracted to in the past. When our souls touched, the first exchange of fire and electricity we did has already begun changing you. Changing both of us. Already your body naturally absorbs my fire, cools me, all that is required is for you to undergo the rest of the ceremony, the training period, that will teach you how to turn the energy you absorb from me into fuel for my fires.” Zuko could not help but lick his lips while he said this, his imagination was once again running riot.

“Th..th..the ceremony is a training period?” Sokka was unnerved by the look in the Fire Lords eyes. “I am not a bender, how the hell can I produce a fuel for your fire.” Sokka asked nervously. “You are mistaken Zuko!”

“No Sokka I am not, if not for the rather foolish promise I made you, I will demonstrate it to you now. But it will have to wait till we get to the Capital.” Zuko took a breathe and forced himself to walk to the tent’s entry. His smile was mischievous, “As for the fuel Sokka, trust me you are more then capable of producing it. Your passion, your desire, your sensuality, you will burn with it Sokka and that will be the fuel to my Fire.” Zokka winked as he ducked out of the tent, he walked away and counted to ten.

On cue a very loud “WWWWHHHHHHAAAAAATTTTT!!!” emerged from the tent. Zuko chuckled, it was so good having Sokka beside him.

Sokka was going crazy in his tent. This was a mistake – it had to be! He had to get away put some distance between them. The Zuko would find his true sacrifice. Sokka quickly formulated a very hasty ill-thought plan.
