There wasn't any snow here, this place was to close to the equator for there to be even a thought of snow to dust this place. Did Katara miss the snow? The water tribes were just full of snow, heck they lived on it, save the Foggy Swamp tribe of course. The heat of a summer's like sun usually burned during the daylight hours, and the moon shows it's face clearly against the distance trees. It was about mid-afternoon, the sun was high in the sky and contrasted against the sapphire that held it. Hardly a cloud obscured it, and the wind was down to a low breeze. It felt like a whisper against my cheek as I moved forward. Two toned pelt was shiny, showing the health that was glowing inside of me. Ebony whipcord flicked across my flanks, nostrils flared to smell the different smells that were present. My frame was nearly flawless, the only thing that marred it was the large scar that runs across my right eye. My vision in that eye is rather low, but the other eye could see things fine. I came to the Pastures to take out some pent-up anger that I didn't like to show in front of Katara. I used to throw my anger around all the time, I didn't care who saw it and who was affected by it. But now because I am the Fire Lord and I had to gain the trust of all the other Alliances, I had to hide it and deal with it later on. Sometimes it was hard, and I have grown to hate showing it in front of Katara. She did save my life. My movements stopped, lids falling over my eyes as I took a deep breath and began to fire bend.

ooc:// I clearly need to get back into rping Zuko

Everywhere, but here. Instead of the winter chill the air was warm, no snow littered the air around them. Blue eyes gazed about the pastures, sad to not see the snow she so missed from her homeland or the cool breeze that used to ruffle her tassels. She never thought she would come to love one like Zuko but now she was his queen, the thoughts of children now wonder in her thoughts as she knew that the Fire Nation would need an heir. A dark figure in the distance caught her eye as balls of fire was thrown about, twirling around the figure. Instantly she knew it was her beloved. Long slender legs of the chestnut tobiano American Saddlebred mare, brought her closer to her mate with every step. With the small amount of water near by she flicked her head up, bringing a ball of water to stand still in mid air. As she got closer she tossed her head toward Zuko, the ball of water flew toward him to extinguish the fire that he created. "Now now, you know better" She said gently with a smile upon her velvets. Katara stretched her muzzle out and touched his cheek before looking at him with her blue eyes, thinking about how far he has come to be the stallion he is today.

OOC: Yours is great Brenna!... Mine is...Um yeah... lol xD

"I used to think this scar marked me; the mark of the banished prince, cursed to chase the Avatar forever. But lately, I've realized I'm free to determine my own destiny, even if I'll never be free of my mark."

Whipcord flicked back and forth as I stomped with my foreleg. Thorns pinned back against my two coloured skull, the corners of my mouth formed a frown as the blasts shot from under my hooves and came from my tail. Serpentine arched proudly; amber eyes narrowed, but focused on the task at hand.

The sun cast down, almost feeding the flames that I put in over the land. Of course I would distinguish the flames, almost like sucking the energy back up into me. I would only do this if thing got out of hand however, right now the crackling soothed me and put me into a weak trance. The heat that came off of the energy bursts warmed my core and allowed me to produce more fire.

All of a sudden I felt moisture prick the air, my fire was soon extinguished. I stood still, anger tickling my frame as it built. Who did this? Why would someone do this? But then a feminine voice broke the silence, and my anger. Slowly I turned toward the painted vixen as her lips touched my cheek. I felt a tad embarrassed that she had caught me here, but I pushed it all aside. Katara, what are you doing here?" I asked, my tones kind.

Nyx trotted along, a small bit of fire bloomed on her hooves. They made small scorch marks in the grass. Nyx was a fire master (PLEASE). She had great power. 2 figures were in front of her. As she came closer she saw the king and queen of the Fire Nation. She trotted to them and said softly "My King, My Queen" She bowed on her 2 front legs to the mighty rulers

Katara, what are you doing here? He spoke, she could tell he was a bit embarrassed because she caught him bending. Katara did not mind just as long as he was not fighting with someone, she sighed and answered him. "Just looking for some company from my king, some alone time" She was soft and sweet, stepping closer to him til their bodies touched. Katara gently groomed his withers, to ease the anger and stress he may have, being a good wife to her husband. Her attention was soon turned toward the newcomer, a mare of fire bending as her hoof steps left scorched marks in the grass. Blue eyes watched the mare bow to them and greet them as her King and Queen, Katara simply smiled then spoke. "Welcome to our humble kingdom, dear. Please call me Katara" Gracious as she spoke, showing her regal side as royalty should. Katara nodded her tiara to her then awaited ffor one of them to speak.

OOC: Sorry for the wait =(

The smell of burnt grass filled my nostrils, the smoke of it from be extinguished filled the air. The breeze would probably push it away in due time. At the pace that it was going at now, however, it might take a little while. A smile played on my lips as Katara spoke. "Well I am glad that you found me then." I closed my eyes as she came closer, my nares taking a deep breath as her scent came into them. I placed my muzzle on her neck as she groomed me, I returned the favour by doing the same thing to her elegant nape. I voice entered my ear drums. I turned my head and noticed a mare coming toward us. I didn't move from my spot, my eyes slightly narrowed because the mare disrupted us. Katara didn't seem to mind, however, so I put an emotionless expression on. "I am Zuko. What would you like?" I asked.

Nyx nodded in response to the Lady of the Fire nation. Blush burning her face. She made the fire upon her hooves to disappear and perked her ears up as the Lord of the Fire nation asked her what she wanted. She smiled and a glimmer danced in her eyes "Lord Zuko. I have come from far away to ask you if I could be your Apprentice" She shook her mane and let the fire on her hooves re-ignite with a blue blaze. She had studied long and hard. She knew very many ways of fire bending
