In Trouble With the Fire Lord

Nokomi	Nokomi snickered as she tied her blue hair up into a high ponytail, the buzzed parts of it now displayed. She looked at the Fire Nation Royal Palace gates, smiling. The guards at the entrance couldn't see her; she was perched high in a tree, her camouflage bodysuit causing her to blend in perfectly. She pulled the hood over her bright hair, gold eyes twinkling with mirth. This would be the most fun job she'd ever had! While she wasn't used to jobs without the killing, this would still prove to be quite the challenge. She was to steal an artifact from within the Fire Lord's throne room, some old crown doo-hicky that Fire Lord Zuko had worn or something. She was sad that she wasn't given the opportunity to do some killing, but she wasn't here for herself--she had a job to do. Quietly, she climbed up to the highest branch that would hold her weight, careful not to look down. Even she would have been fearful of the large drop she knew she faced. She was a little above the halfway mark of the wall, which was perfect. She launched herself at the wall, grabbing onto a groove in it with a low grunt. One of the patrolling troops from below seemed to have heard her, as he looked around, and she held her breathe. He didn't look up, though, and she smiled happily before looking for another groove. She found one, and pushed herself up towards it with her legs, barely grabbing it. Almost to the top now.... Her entire long length was flattened against the wall, and she knew that to get all the way up, she'd have to do something dangerous. She took her weak fire, and began to burn a slight groove into the rock with her hand, as low down as she could reach. She then set her feet within this newly formed groove, and was able to launch herself at the top of the wall, grabbing the expensive tiles that decorated the top. She pulled herself up, sweat beading on her forehead, but she managed to crouch low on the wall, watching the patrolling guards below. They passed by her, and slid down the wall, hands burning from the fast speed. She landed on the ground with a roll, and darted to a tree, scurrying up it as fast as she could. She surveyed her surroundings. Not a single person in sight...but she could hear loud footsteps from the heavy boots the Fire Nation soldiers wore, and knew it was now or never. She hopped out of the tree and directly onto the lowest roof of the palace. With a grunt and a sigh, she managed to pull her legs out of sight before the guards rounded the corner. She took a moment to breathe and to tear the hood off of her head before spotting a window, and grumbled about the amount of climbing this job required. Not that she didn't like climbing, she just didn't like climbing walls. Rocks, trees, ropes, all of those were fine with her. Walls? Ew. She began climbing up the tiled wall, easier than climbing the gate because there were plenty more grooves. She finally made it to the window and rolled inside, crouching low to the ground, listening intently for any sound. None. She looked right, then left, then went right because that's where she was told to go. Turned a corner, and.... A guard was smiling at her. Obviously high ranking, his arms folded across his chest. "Uh..." Nokomi faltered...what should she say? She was caught red-handed, sneaking around the Fire Lord's palace. He grabbed her arm roughly, leering at her. "Well, well, what have we got here....an unauthorized woman in the Palace..." he said with a smirk, snatching her bow and arrows off of her back, and the leather cord attached to her right thigh was taken as well, her daggers dangling from it. She glared at him, and he tightened his hold on her arm. It hurt, yes, but she wasn't going to let him know so, and she spit in his face defiantly. "Watch it, you're messing with the wrong person here," he growled, wiping it off with his sleeve. She continued to glare at him, and he turned, dragging her after him. "We'll see how the Fire Lord deals with a traitorous girl like you, huh? That's why you were here, right? Hurt our nation by harming him?" he said, yanking on her roughly, almost popping her shoulder out of its socket, but she didn't say a thing....

Novai	Things were quite busy at the palace as usual, royal servants scurrying all over the place, authorities and guards patrolling the corridors and random well wishers who were hoping to catch Novai's attention. These things were normal, often times unexpected an occasional miscreant here and there, that was the jive of the Royal Palace. Novai was in his throne room, talking with military generals, politicians, royal family members, and those whom he honored in his court. The situation was always calm and relaxing, the members of the court simply needed Novai's official signature, and approval to get projects started. It was a hot day, and the humidity of the room was almost palpable, the time was right for what was about to ensue. A guard from one of the outside corridors was dragging a young adolescent, perhaps 16 - 17 firmly away while she squirmed and resisted. To Novai this was exactly the kind of entertainment he needed: "Sir, we need your approval on these documents, in fact how about you take the whole paper stack!" a royal advisor beamed at him. "Yes no problem, I'll deal with this...later, something has come to my attention" Novai waved the advisor off, much to his dismay. The guard was obviously smirking with aplomb, and the young teen continued to nag, as they approached his chamber doors, Novai stepped out, right out in front of them. "Well well, who have we here? I'm Fire Lord Novai, but you can just call me Novai" he stated with clear enthusiasm, this was one of the few times that Novai had interacted with an outsider.

Nokomi	The guard jerked her arm again, and she let out a small gasp but firmly clamped her mouth shut. Her arm was definitely bruising now, she could feel it. The Fire Lord introduced himself, and as the guard bowed to him, she stomped on his foot---HARD. He grunted with pain, but simply kept his hold, and she struggled again, uselessly. The guard grabbed her by the hair with one hand, holding onto both of her hands with his other, and yanked her head up to look the Fire Lord in the eye. She glared at him, showing blatant disregard for who he was. "Say hello to the Fire Lord, missy," the guard growled, obviously pissed now. "Hello," she said through gritted teeth, tears coming to her eyes as her hair was pulled, bu she didn't make a sound. She then wrenched her hair out of the guard's grip, and he chuckled. "She was caught sneaking around the palace. What should we do with her, sir?" The guard asked, his head bowed slightly in respect. Nokomi continued looking up at Novai in spite, almost spitting in his face until the guard yanked her arms yet again, obviously knowing what she was going to do.
