3 Chapter 1

"Where am I?" I asked myself the 5th time, as I saw myself being sold off to a merchant who grabbed me by the arm and threw me into a carriage full of kids

'They wear some kind of red clothes?' I looked at the man as I rubbed my hands as I nervously looked around.

I was getting taken to something up in the mountains, it looked like a palace.

After few minutes the carriage suddenly stopped and a big gate opened allowing the merchant inside.

Counting myself there were 20 to 30 kids the same age as me.

'Same age as me?' I looked at my hands, 'I got younger.'

I sat near a kid who had a lifeless look in his eyes, " Where are we going?" The kid looked at me with a face devoid of emotion.

Which gave me an uneasiness feeling.

He opened his mouth "To the Royal Palace."

He then went silent: 'Royal Palace? Was there some kind of royalty in Brazil? Or am I going crazy the last thing I remember that I was eating Chips until my body suddenly felt cold-'

'I'm dead, so where am I now and why am I younger?' Many questions appeared in my mind, I shook them off and sighed and sat beside the kid.

I should pay attention to what happens from here on out, if I was being sold off and these kids which mostly looked lifeless, had a face that was in shock, so there must be something that had them in this situation, and if I died, there is no guarantee that I will be alive again.

I solidified myself, this is not much, compared to being in a war is much more terrifying.

'I won't die.' I said to myself.

After some time, the carriage again stopped and another gate was opened until full view of the so-called Royal Palace came into view.

There was no word that could define the beauty of the Palace.

The kids looked from the sides as some even smiled at the beauty of the Place, temporarily forgetting their sadness.

The first thing that caught my attention were the swarm of Fire Benders practicing and mastering the art of fire.

'Fire Bending? Am I in Avatar? Thes show that I used to watch when I was a kid.'

I looked at the Soldiers fighting hand to hand combat while also using fire with it.

'Fire Bending, huh? Will I also be able too?' I looked at my hands and tried to mimic the movement of the soldiers but nothing happened.

*Sigh*

I sighed, 'What did I expect? I could be a non-bender, who knows.' I thought to myself, failing to notice the small spark of flame generated.

The carriage suddenly stopped and the merchant opened the cage in which we were in.

He shackled us in some chains and gave us to the servants or maids of the Palace while he received a bag of gold coins from one of the servants.

The maids took us to a bathhouse and showered us and cleaned us and then fed us and then prepared us in some suits and dresses.

They told us that we should do whatever the Princess asks us to do or otherwise we would be severely punished.

'Princess? Azula? I get it now, we may have been captured so that we may as well become the punching bag of Azula, or it could be something else, I don't know, she is crazy and something else too.'

We were soon then taken to a room full of weapons and shields, the room was as big as a training ground.

Soon a girl entered with three to four Fire Benders.

When she looked at us her mouth opened as a crazy smile spread upon her.

Looking at her smile, I felt I was looking at a serial killer, 'Is she crazier than the canon, I thought she got pretty crazy when she was made the fire lord or whatever.' I thought to myself as I added the possibility of it being an AU.

"Fight." She said as she stood with an eerie smile.

I looked at the kids not moving even an Inch as terrified expression appeared on the kids, some started crying and some looked at each other.

'They're just kids, what does she expect, she wants us to kill each other? And where are the parents of these kids, are they picked up from the slumps?' I calmly looked at the situation while I looked at Azula matching her gaze, she looked at me while I looked at her, she motioned with her hand to one of the fire benders as he went and grabbed one of the kids by the head and smashed it on the floor and then stomped his face until his face got disfigured as small groans escaped from the before screaming mouth.

The others looked at the unfortunate one, with terror in their eyes.

"If no one fights then slowly... and slowly you will be killed one by one until one of you starts fighting, kill or be killed, also... you can the daggers and knives place on the tables." Azula said with an eerie voice as if a spell was cast upon them, they suddenly took daggers from the table and started to kill each other.

I looked at this with an indifferent expression, I moved to the side as the girl came at me with a dagger in her hand while crying, she again came at me, I sighed as I snatched the dagger from her hand and pushed it inside her throat.

'Oh, who would have thought that there would come a time where I would have to start killing kids.' I thought to myself. 'This body feels very strange to fight in.'

I picked up two daggers from the ground and started to walk through the crowds of kids and slowly slashed at their throats or Jugular veins, so that that they may die instantly or off by loss of blood.

Many kids died during this day and The Princess didn't seem to be stopping the fight anytime soon.

"M-mommy I want mommy." On the ground was a girl with a knife embedded in her eye, but she didn't move or do anything, still not dead by the knife, I moved towards her and then pressed on the knife as it slowly went and reached her brain killing her instantly.

After some time, there were only three of us who were also killed, until I was the only one who remained.

My body was covered in red with blood, I looked at the floor filled with blood, and in my reflection I saw my eyes cold and my face.
