Tears fall, circus rises.

It was night and both azula and zaya layed in bed sick, coughing, delireous. Azula looked at her daughter now 12 face burning up and breathing slow, she pulled the child into her embrace.

Tears fell donw praying the worst wouldn't happen, yet when Closed her eyes it did open. Zaya stood up from the bed rubbing her eyes, her head hurt a Little but it wasn't going to stop her, when she looked at her mother, she screamed.

8 months later

She was Walking through the earth Nation, the last Things she owned were the clothes on her back and her mothers hair Piece. "trust no one, don't follow anyone, believe no one." These word were now what she lived by, everyone she meet after her mothers death, were cheaters, liers, and bastard!

She fell to the ground hunger taking over, the pain of it was the worst day in and out.

No one trusted a fire bender, The war had scarred the world and the scars hadn't healed especially from People who were children during the war.

Zaya continued to walk ingoring the pain, then she reached a town and drug through trash and ate what wasn't rotten.

She heard laughter, she heard fire burning and she walked there. Laughter and joy something she hasn't exprienced in a while and now here it was. "COME HERE! COME ALL! WHOEVER CAN HIT IT THREE TIMES WILL WIN A MEAL WITH OUR SPECIAL ATTRACTIONS!" Her eyes widened she didn't care what he said after meal and ran to the stand. "Looks like a Young Lady wants to try out!" He showed her basket full of balls. "You can use that or bend." Zaya just created blue sphere of fire making the crowd aww. "Interesting! Now lets begin!"

Zaya looked from the booths ceiling, cartboard Lemur came up and down. "So I hit three and I get my meal?" Zaya asked looking at the lemurs. The man nodded with a smile because the game was rigged. the third Lemur was heavier then the other two so it wouldn't go up once hit and it was made so that would go up if it was the hit, first making poople think it was possible to win the game.

Zaya hit two but the thrid wouldn't move. Her stomach growled and she was about to walk away. "Hey, kid" She looked at him. "Kid, you have some nifty tricks, so how about a Job and a meal?" Her eyes widen and a dicussion between faceless voice spoke before agreeing.

"OK! What do I have to do?" She said with a grin.

Zaya pov

I moved hay to the ostrich horses. "Eat, you don't want to starve." i told them. There were so many animals here that most would think it was a zoo and I loved them.

A week here and I had intergated myself fine, all the animals were well trained and the People here were great. I lied down on the hay and sighed. "Hey zaya!"

"You're slacking-"

"off aren't you?" Two twins said wearing dapper suits and smilling. They were both thin yet well built Bodies, only that their heads were conjoined by the sides.

"Oh really? who should be practicing for their next song?" Both men eyes widened.

"Oh yea!"

"We Need to go."

"don't tell."

"Jin!" They left walking to their tent.

I smiled. "Ok hua, huan!" I told them crossing my legs. After I was done with feeding the animals, she would be allowed a break.

Then I came to performing acts, like juggiling fire balls and creating fire Whips in acts with animals. My acting skills had gotten better, I would act as the small princess and then I would fall over to have a beast about to attack before a earth/water bender stopped them, the earth Benders would bend a cloud of dust or sand and water benders explains themselves.

Worst case the animals got pink eye and the crowd got hit as well.

The main attraction was the mysteries of man! People who were rarities in Society. some were fake, like our sword swallower who's blade was collapsible and others like the singing twins. They were the main attraction and people from everywhere would come to buy pictures of themselves with the two, I was only one who didn't have to pay.

jin just took it from my salary.

He walked to me and pulled me smilling. "Zaya! I need you to go out and make some advertisement! "

I nodded and left to the streets juggling fire, a crowd started forming and they watched amazed at what they saw, at the end of the Show I threw all the fire balls into the air and then followed with bit of gun powder creating a explossion that made the crowd aww and loud noises.

"Come to Jins wondering Circus to see more amazments! Show a Flyer and get 10 percent off!" Most of the Flyers were gone which was a good thing since I got 1 yuan for each Flyer I gave out, jin counted the ones that reappeared at the ticket stand.

Then a Boy with messy hair came to the stand. "How did you do that?!" He aske- well yelled is a better way to say it. "You can bend blue fire! That's so cool!" I smiled giving a awkward, I can face criminals and beasts of diffrent sizes but this kid was making me speachless! "What's your Name?"

"Zaya..." Agni this kid was too forward and shouldn't he have interduced himself first?!

"I'm bumi, can I have a Flyer my dad in on vacation and he said I get to pick what we would do this week."

I nodded and looked at the Flyers. "How big is your Family."

Bumi smiled. "My mom and dad, my little sister kya and my Baby brother tenzin." I hadding him the flyers. "Wait, why five?"

"Because each Flyer only works for one Person. Mr jin always has me give it to one Person and then come with their families and booom they didn't read the small print." bumi oowed understanding. "Kids get half already and most People bring a date use the Discount for the Person they invited." He nodded.

"Aren't you too Young to work?" He asked me, like it was any of his business.

"I need to make a living- Wait, where are your parents?" He pointed to the store across the street. "So you left them at the store, ran across the street, just to see why a crowd was here?"

"Yea, My moms trying clothes on my Baby sis and I got bored." i rolled my eyes and started walking away before he asked where my parents were, to which the answere; passed away and Mom set him on fire.

I left the Shopping district and went to the park where nobody cared, so i took my shoes off and placed them into the Little river there. "Ahh i Needed this." I said having walked the entire day. "Why can't he just buy a bill board and not send me out into the City?" I asked thinking the river was too cold. A shadow appeared behind my head and when I looked it was a officer of the law. "Hello" I said innocently to him.

"Look, I will let this slide but if I see this again I will take you to the Station got it?" He said in scolding at me as I took my legs out of the water. "Good, now get out of here." He yelled after I finished putting my socks and shoes on.

"Ow" I said as the healer looked at my swollen feet. "Seems like a light infection, you didn't place your feet in a stream did you?" I looked away. "No mater, a day's rest and she will be fit as a Dragon." He said leaving me alone.

Jin came into my tent , with a smile plastered on his face. "Good Job kid, the seats are all filled and the Money counted!" He said grinning, I guesed he was mentally counting the cash. "You're not performing today." I nodded he gave me a day off anyway when I was adversing for him.

He left and i feel asleep.
