Shila Epilouge (Pianikpok) - A/N [AKA a really long a sappy post :D]

[BTW this is my 80th post! :) pretty epic 80th post, I think! :D]

So, wow. It's over! eeeps!! Before I go all sappy and comment on how much of a journey this has been, and all that good stuff, first let me comment on this epilouge!

**
This epilouge took me AGES, but not as long as I thought it would. it turned out TOTALLY different from how I had originally planned it, but I think I like it. I think! :D

so, Iroh. Yeah, that was sad, but I downplayed it, cause I didn't want to cry ;(. I needed someone to die and Iroh seemed the easiest. It was a bit wimpy, but I didn't want to get rid of anyone else. Well, Aang is a different story.

Hikari means light in japanese!! :) I LOVE that name, too! I was so happy when i searched it and found out it was such a pretty name!

Azula! I love her! She was soooooo fun to write! At first I thought I made her a bit TOO childish, but Sera said she was fine. I mean, her main problem is that her mother [supposedly] doesnt love her, so... yep.
Seriously, I want to write like 500 azula one-shots now. She is really fun to write. Try it! no, really...
hee hee, YES i did put a march hare moment in there! I couldn't help myself! It was just begging to be written!!
Oh and this line - “I guess so. It really is Zuzu’s baby? Not that moustache man? The earthbender? You two seemed to –“ LOL omg that crax me up SO MUCH!!! I was like dying when I wrote it... haha!

so. Sokka and Kya hadn't fought! I was like, WHAT? thats impossible! so, yep. :D

:D

OH and I wrote that thunderstorm paragraph one night when there was a giant storm outside. I was like 'ahh, I have to put a storm in my story!' :)

Kya is a bit weepy. But so am I... so... yeah. There is nothing wrong with being emotional!!! :P :D

Yes, Zuko and Kat named their son after Iroh. Isn't that so sweet?? :)

LOOK -> I explained Mai and Ty Lee's absence! haha. not well enough, I know. But I really didn't want to mess with them... I had more than enough characters already. (next time I write a story, remind me to narrow my focus to two or three characters, not like TEN! omyword. haha)

Yeah, so... I'm not really sure what Kya did either. that horizontal column somehow stopped the lightning. And since Ky didn't WANT to hurt azula, it didnt. Please, don't examine it. It is full of flaws :D

Sooo, um, sorry leila for kinda making your life tragic :D but hey, you ended up with Cha-li! so its k, right??? haha. 

Oh yeah, and, I had written this whole thing minus Aang's viewpoint. Like, Sokka just got the letter and then it went back to Kya's pov. but then I realized that I kinda needed to go into detail a bit. So, I put that little bit in. And then had to make this FB status: 'thought people would worry that I just googled 'how fast do you die if you get stabbed in the chest with a knife' until I found a yahoo answer for it and the person who asked the question was in the same predicament as me: writing a story :D'

and yeah, those avatar relics are two of the ones we saw in 'The Storm' :)

and I don't know what shila did to aang. avatar magicky stuff, I guess. :D :D

well, there ends THAT portion of the authors note :) now on to the sap...

:)



Wow. I cannot believe this is over!

When I started this I hadn't even seen the third season. In fact, i think I started it because I wouldn't be able to get the third season for a while and I was having withdraws :D

So, I know I'm going to go back and hate those first few chapters (i already re-wrote chap 3! haha) but it's ok! This was my first fully digital (like, I wrote it all on the computer) story to complete! I can't believe I actually did it! It's amazing, really.

mainly I need to thank Bryke, for creating such an awesome universe to write about! :D and all the voice actors, for living in my head and helping me out! :D
thanks to SERA! omd! Without her, thsi story would suck, no kidding! she was (almost) always there on chat when I needed to bounce ideas, validate viewpoints, or rant about zutara! :) thanks sis!
thanks to my family, who doesn't even know what the heck this story is about, but knows I am writing a story and gives me my space when i'm in the zone :D and tolerates my 'ZUTARA SHOULD BE CANON' random screams :D
thanks to Leila, for actually reading this story! haha! and for inspiring an awesome, if underused, character! :)
Thanks to Dr. Pepper, Fritos, Funyuns, Fast Breaks, and fudge popsicles (OMD do I have a thing for the letter F? What is that about?) for keeping me from going insane! :D
Thanks to my computer for being amazing! :D
and now for the music portion of this.

So, a long time ago, (not really that long) I realized that there were certain songs that fit with this story. So I created a playlist that I called the 'soundtrack'. I will now share this with you:

I'll tell you now: There will be NO sequel. Haha! I love this AU, and Kya, but... yeah. haha. Maybe a one-shot, but that's unlikely :)

:D

EEK I don't want to end it. I need to bite the bullet
