41 Chapter 41

The Fire Nation, the Capital:

After the day Haru had killed their men in battle the 120 men against one man, the Fire Nation couldn't waste their death.

A wise leader would gain from their victories, and most importantly, learn from their losses. These were lessons that build a great nation.

As they had dug their dead men's bodies out of the ground, they found something interesting. A very large spear, 3 meters in length. It was made of dense iron. The Fire Lord was standing in the yard, along with one of their finest craftsman.

"Such a large spear, if shot with enough power, what can it do?" asked Lord Ozai in an obvious hint to the old man who was standing next to him.

Ozai didn't want to make his intent clear. If the man next to him isn't smart to figure it out, then he doesn't even deserve to be his craftsman.

"It can pierce the thick walls easily." The old man, Hu Lee, replied.

He walked along Ozai to the spear, which was standing in the yard.

It was almost two times taller than them. It was hard to believe that a young earthbender used such a thing. But it's possible that the young earthbender may have used a giant bow that works on earthbending.

Still, it's a mystery how he got such a spear.

But that wasn't the point.

"So what do you think?" Ozai asked.

"We can replicate these spears, even creating bigger ones." Hu Lee rubbed his goatee. "I can design an automatic large crossbow as well. It should pierce the great walls of Omashu Ba Seng Si's easily. I will make sure that the power of the impact alone would be enough for that."

"Hahahaha!" Ozai lifted his head and laughed. He was happy with this discovery.

"Finally, I will achieve the only thing my pathetic Dragon of West older brother couldn't. It appears losing hundred and twenty men worth this discovery if it is going to end the war — for my side."

"You shall enlighten those Earth Kingdom maggots about our great civilisation, and how great your name is. I hail your greatness." He Lee bowed.

"Sure, they have to witness my greatness. They will be thankful that someone like me is doing good for them." Ozai laughed, and Hu laughed with him.

Suki sat by the cliff and played with her sore legs. She was staring down at Haru, who was stretching his arms.

Having a smile on her face, the numbness in her legs reminded her how roughly he had banged. She had enjoyed it very much.

But there was one downside, and it didn't come from his side.

If she had to admit one thing, she felt disappointed that she hadn't been able to keep up with him.

But could she be blamed?

That man was a real beast when it comes to physical power, speed, and talent.

These three made him a beast in battle and bed.

A beast that she wanted to tame, but she couldn't admit to herself that she can't.

'So this is how it feels after making love. It feels fresh to have an orgasm.' She stretched her arms up.

Next to her, some Kyoshi Warriors were sitting.

Most of them weren't wearing their uniforms. They were in their casual clothes.

"Look at him." Yu pointed. "I really wonder why a super strong earthbender like him wants to learn martial arts. He is very strong without them."

"Well, he surpassed you," Luki replied. "Besides, knowing how to fight fast opponents is critical in battles. I doubt that he will need to fight anyone in a close-range battle. But if it came to that, he can just kick them and then bury them in the ground." She had glances of admiration when she started to check on Haru.

Suki turned to Luki and gave her a warning glance.

But remembering how she hadn't been able to keep up with Haru, Suki's expression softened up.

"Well, you are right to admire him. Not only he is talented, but a beast, a handsome beast, whom I would like to take for a walk…" Suki bit on her bottom lip and sighed.

She had some worried that this relationship wouldn't last long because she may not be enough.

Well…If it came to worse, she can always find a solution. He said he was a prince. It's known that this world has harems. But because there is a war, it's not commonly practised.

Suki was saved from her dark thoughts when she heard Yu giggle.

"You have something for him?" Yu asked.

"I had something with him." Annoyed that her friend was teasing her, Suki turned and extended her tongue.

"Ooo…" Some mouths made an o shape upon her bold declaration.

"You went for him first, congratulation."

"So, how was your first time?"

"Do you mind sharing?"

"Not if I have to," Suki replied while trying to make it look like sarcasm. She stared at Haru, who was done turning stones into 10 houses.

The villagers around started cheering up for him, happy that they will be moving to more warm and civilised houses.

When Haru turned to Suki, he smiled. Suki waved her hand, happy with that.

"I'll be leaving." She turned to the girls before jumping off the cliff, using her agility to get between the rocks, reaching the ground without harming herself.

Suki put her hands behind her back as she approached Haru. "Finally done?"

Haru, not even trying to hide their relationship, put his hand on her back and turned her in the beach's direction. They then walked.

"Yeah, I just finished my early morning workout." Haru smiled, which matched his handsome face.

"You look happy," Suki remarked.

"More likely relieved." Haru then got his mouth closer to her ear and whispered. "It's refreshing to let that stress out." By that, he had meant banging her until she passed out.

Suki, pretending to take it as a joke, laughed and said. "We can do better the next time."

"Yeah."

When they took a turn, Haru held her in her hands and pinned her to a large rock.

Suki didn't resist his attempt to assert his domination. She loved it.

Giving in, she opened her mouth for his tongue, and they started kissing. Having a pleasurable sensation running through her spin, Suki kissed him back as if there is no tomorrow.

Once they were done, they had a little chat. Afterwards, they walked in the beach's direction.

Suki had a bad feeling in her guts when Oyaji, the village leader, stared at Haru with a sigh.

Haru lifted his head and stared at the sky. "It's a messaging hawk. Hey, Suki, I thought your island is isolated from the world. Who would send a letter here? Who would get it? Hold on. That's me"

Messaging hawks. Suki had learnt about them when she had been young. She had read in the village's library.

These hawks are used to deliver messages to very far distances. They have high speeds and incredible stamina. It allows them to cross the sea easily.

She wondered why would any hawk come to their island.

It seems that Haru realised that answer.

Knowing that Haru had declared himself as a prince of one of the Capitals of Earth Kingdom, she knew that he is an important person.

"Haru," Oyaji called, and Haru had to take his hand from her back.

It left that warm spot to get cold.

"There is a letter for you, with King Bumi's stamp. You aren't just a wanderer. Who are you?" Oyaji said. "Are you a soldier?"

"King Bumi, is he your father?" Suki asked, wanting to clear some doubts.

"No." Haru shook his head. "I'm just his inheritor."

Haru smiled and reached his robs. He picked a golden tablet and showed it to Oyaji.

"I didn't lie when I said I'm a wanderer, because I was really wandering the lands to get stronger." Haru smiled and took the letter from Oyaji's hand.

Suki stared at the letter, before staring at Oyaji. She pierced his eyes with her glare, trying to know if sneaked a peek at Haru's private letter.

"I didn't say you were lying." He looked at the tabled, his eyes shaking for a second, before saying. "Crown Prince!"

Some gasps were heard here and there.

"Was he an important person outside?"

"But he always acted humble around us."

"Hey, would he hold a thing since we tried to humiliate him on his first day here?" Some girl said in a very low voice.

"You are using the wrong word. We were trying to tease him."

"Phew, Luckily, I didn't smug on him when he was stretched."

The girls were talking between them. It seems that they realised that Haru was an important person outside, but he acted like a humble villager. Suki knew that Haru earned his status. He hadn't been born with it. That's why he was humble most of the time.

Luki, who was still sitting on the cliff, yelled, "Haru, I know you don't hold grudges. But would you allow me to find a job in Omashu? There are things I want to buy and they aren't on this island."

"Sure, Whatever." Haru waved his hand at her and kept reading the letter. He didn't seem even to listen to what she was saying.

Suki sat down next to him, unable to resist her curiosity why his expression changed. Before she could even sneak a peek at his letter, Haru hide it. He stood up, smiled, and turned to everyone.

Giving a slight nod, he said. "Dear people of Kyoshi Island, Thank you for your good treatment while I was here. Most of you became like a family of mine. I'm very thankful for teaching me too.

"Now, I have to go back to my city. As you know, we are in a war, and they need me.

"After the war is over, you are always welcomed to come to my land, and you will be treated generously. That if I was still alive by the end of the war."

Haru sighed. The relaxed expression that he had been wearing during his stay here was gone.

A stiff expression replaced it. It was of a man who was ready to shed blood at any moment.

"Are you leaving?" Suki asked. Not knowing why, a few tears accumulated around her eyes, ready to fall at any moment.

"It's my destiny to end things," Haru replied.

Not willing to let him go, not after all of the good time they had, the good sex they just started, she held his shirt. "Shouldn't destiny that be the Avatar thing. You can stay here, and enjoy. You don't have to go."

"I make my own destiny," Haru said with a sigh. He smiled softly as his finger reached her eye and swept her tear.

"Can I come with you?" Suki asked, somehow not wanting to stay on this island anymore. She didn't even want to think if her decision is rational.

"Are you sure?" Haru asked.

"Yes, I am." She replied with certainty. "I'm an orphan anyway, and I only have friends here. I can move to any place that I like."

"Sorry to hear that," Haru said. "Take your time, pack your things, we aren't leaving immediately. I still have to complete building the houses."

"Alright." Suki smiled, happy with his answer. She will move around with Haru and live an adventurous life.

She turned to Oyaji and said. "Make sure that he doesn't leave while I'm packing my things."

"You wouldn't possibly think I would send you away and not finish my job." Haru sighed at Suki. "Weren't I a man of my word?"

"Hehe." Suki giggled. "I just can't trust you after all the surprises."

Haru sighed. "Women…"
