For Zuko

[thethirdwonder]

There were a lot of things Cassie felt like she was loosing her grip of on the island. Her friends from home all seemed to have lives that didn't include her...and whatever life she had had on the island had disappeared with a lot of its residents. She had thought things would get better with Kon...but in truth it felt more like she was loosing him all over again. She'd been hearing rumors about someone named Wallace that she refused to think about. Bart was oblivious as always. Cissie was about her only life line, but Cassie didn't want to interrupt the happiness her best friend was finding with Bart with her growing melancholy.

So, Cassie felt herself spending more and more time practicing with her staff and keyblade in a small glade she'd found for privacy. Because the one thing she did have, that she always had, was Wonder Girl and no powerless island was going to change that. At the moment, she was running through the keyblade drills with Oathkeeper that Roxas and Riku had taught her before they disappeared, letting her movements clear her mind. The snow and her additional clothing from the cold made it a bit more difficult but it only helped her to settle her mind even more.

Zuko has no idea who this god Zeus is, but he gets the feeling he's a big deal. "Yeah, it is in the Fire Nation," he confirms. "Not everyone from the Fire Nation can bend, but a lot of us can. And there are three other nations, with people who have the ability to control that element - water, earth, and air."

"So, a whole world of elementals. Wicked cool." Cassie said, very impressed. "So I'm guessing you don't have to do the whole secret identity thing, since your powers are pretty common?" She had to admit, she was a little jealous. The secret identity thing had always been hard for her.

"Well, no, but I wasn't out in the open, either," Zuko replies. "I was exiled from the Fire Nation, and I'd been in hiding for a while before I came here."

"Oh." Cassie said, considering for a moment before asking, "Can I ask what happened?"
