Name: Ambassador Yue, formerly Water Tribe Princess<br/>Location: Stone Tower confinement facility<br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/262/e/e/yue_by_goldensunlight-d5f8eo4.jpg)</div>In her homeland, she was still referred to as Princess. She missed the North: the ocean, the drifts, the people and their smiles. They had adored her so, and she them. Life had been good up there, in the moonlight. Everything changed when the hordes of the Phoenix arrived on their doorstep.<br/><br/>Pakku had wanted to fight them. When Arnook, her father, had finally, tearfully agreed to the Phoenix ultimatum, and the Fire soldiers had come for her, Pakku couldn’t stand it. He tried to stop them, but was prevented from doing so not by the Fire soldiers, but by Arnook and the other tribe members in the room. They refused to let his honor doom them all to death.<br/><br/>Yue was still allowed to visit, but only once a year, and accompanied by a “royal escort” so impressive that it could put down any Northern rebellion. On those occasions, though, she was able to forget about everything and enjoy the company of her loved ones, her people. They hadn’t forgotten her; the week-long party was grander every year.<br/><br/>Instead of personally communing with her people, couriers from the Northern tribe had to come to the Capitol to inform her of the goings-on. They did their best to inform her of the tribe’s interests, but it paled in comparison to talking to them personally. People tended to trust Yue and tell her things they might not otherwise. Her otherworldly grace disarmed all but the most hardened individuals, and in that way she would have been able to more thoroughly represent the Water Tribe.<br/><br/>She did the best she could with what she had. Azula had set up the former princess in quite resplendent quarters and had made no demand that she dress in Fire Nation garb as she did of most in the Capitol. The calming blue and white in a sea of red was a beacon of hope for many that not all was lost, and she found herself hosting people from all walks of life, even Fire citizens, looking for counsel. Yue didn’t always know what to say, but they always said her smile was enough.<br/><br/>This life of living for others was satisfying, but being surrounded by fire day in and day out was disconcerting to say the least. She stood now before a structure that represented the events of the last four years to anyone that had resisted the propaganda: a fire-controlled earth tower used to imprison water.<br/><br/>Azula’s power could not have been more perfectly represented.<br/><br/>Yue knew what this building contained. Her dear friend Katara was within, widely known as both the Water Commons Ambassador and her political partner, and also Azula’s pet waterbender. It was impossible to truly fault Azula for taking such precautions against Katara; there were several bending masters in the world, but only a few prodigies. Azula herself was one and knew what that entailed. Katara was water’s answer to Azula, and it would not do to have someone like that on the loose.<br/><br/>A delicate hand, Yue’s, rapped on the door of the tower. After a long moment one of the Lees answered; it was impossible for Yue or indeed almost anyone to remember which was which, other than the Silver Queen, of course. Ty Lee’s playful attitude along with her now-expensive royal robes made her quite distinct… along with her position at Azula’s side. These Lees were in simpler Fire-styled tunics that gave them freedom of movement, and they tended to be surly.<br/><br/>Maybe it was because no one could ever remember their names. Maybe it was because Azula had given them complete power over someone. That was guaranteed to turn most people sour.<br/><br/>“Hey, the Water bitch is here,” whichever Lee had opened the door called back into the tower. “What do you want, bitch?”<br/><br/>Yue clenched her jaw a little and tried to brush off their language. “I’m here to visit my friend. I’ve brought a meal for us to share.” She absent-mindedly patted her satchel.<br/><br/>“Gimme that,” Lee said, grabbing it without giving Yue a chance to hand it over, taking Yue a bit off balance, which knocked her umbrella aside and showered her with rain for a moment before she got her footing back. Lee rooted around in the bag, pulling out the food and setting it on a small table inside the doorway, before dumping everything else out on the ground. It was little more than some beauty care items, things any woman of her position would have on hand. “Alright. Come in.” Lee just left everything where it was and went back inside, leaving Yue to gather it back up herself.<br/><br/>“Search her,” the now-apparently lead Lee told two others, who looked younger. Yue always thought she was prepared for this, but she never was. They didn’t even let her disrobe herself; they surrounded her like wolves, their expertly deft hands finding every tie and strap of her Water-styled blue tunic and freeing her from it. It was only moments before she was naked before them, apart from her boots. One of them gut-punched her, forcing the air from her lungs and causing her to stumble backward into the wall and slump to the floor, all so they could take off her boots.<br/><br/>“You could have just asked her to sit down, idiot,” one of them said sarcastically.<br/><br/>“Shove it, or you’re next,” the other shot back.<br/><br/>Now totally naked, Yue shivered in the dankness of the tower. The Lee that had punched her grabbed her by the hair, forcing her to crawl to the center of the foyer, standing about her neck and bringing her calves together, locking Yue in place while Lee undid Yue’s hair ties and picked through her hair as if looking for nits. “Maybe someday you’ll cut all this off, then it’ll hurt less,” she said idly.<br/><br/>“She’s clean,” the Lee finally announced. “No water here unless she pisses herself.”<br/><br/>“If she did when you punched her, I would have used your face to dry it up,” the lead Lee said angrily. “Azula will kill us in a second if word gets out that Yue is being abused.”<br/><br/>“So what? It’s not going to bruise.”<br/><br/>“I’ll try it on you later, see how much it does or doesn’t bruise, you pasty moron. You’re lucky she’s tan.”<br/><br/>Yue hadn’t moved from her hands-and-knees position, trying not to inflame them further. The one in charge walked over and offered a hand. Taking it hesitantly, Yue rose. “You’ve got a nicer body than your friend,” Lee said quietly, openly looking Yue over. “You give Ty a run for her money.” Yue shuddered and tried not to protest as Lee fondled her breasts. “Wish mine were like this. Look me up if you ever want to spend a night out of your mind from pleasure.”<br/><br/>Barely able to speak from fear, Yue just nodded. She would have given her kingdom to have Sokka with her now, with all his courage and skill. Yue caught herself imagining what terrible things he’d do to them with his sword. They were unpleasant thoughts, unbecoming of her, so she shoved them down.<br/><br/>The lead Lee handed Yue’s bag back to her and gripped Yue’s buttcheek with a strong hand, using that to lead her into the room where Katara was. Yue was sad to see her also nude and looking emotionally battered. They shared a glance of mutual suffering, and Yue offered the most graceful smile she could manage after the treatment she had just received. “I… I brought you some food, hun.” Lee half-pushed Yue into a chair across from Katara, but just stood there, hovering. The rest of the Lees filed in, taking no chances with two waterbenders.
