Island Shuhon Island

Despite his young age, the general was wise. He knew what Feltyrosa's presence on the island meant, and he knew there was no point in resisting. Still, he would not make the decision himself and chose to leave it up to his king. He did get one thing wrong though. Help stop them? No, Feltyrosa intended to destroy them. They know not their place and must be punished. Iroh did not seem to realize that whether or not he agreed to her proposal, she would be handling the Red Lotus.

"Very well, take me to your king then. Just a moment though."

She finished the last few bites of her sundae, pushed the bowl aside, and stood.

"Alright. Let's go. Truthfully, I don't know what goes on in our Lady's mind. I volunteered to go out and claim islands for her in the hopes of furthering my own agenda, so believe me when I say this is not personal. If not me, it would be another, potentially less cunning Spada."

She followed closely behind Iroh as he escorted her to meet the king. She hoped that the king of Shuhon was more like Iroh and not that hot headed Kuvira, but only time will tell.

Iroh gave his word that he would bring Feltyrosa to the man on the throne, however a small misunderstanding arrived as Feltyrosa decided to take up his offer immediately and speak to the King himself. Iroh himself would have meant that after dealing with the Red Lotus. That said he would have to be careful, for saying something wrong can be rather detrimental to this peaceful dealing. Iroh would allow Feltyrosa to take a second as she finishes her dessert but he would still have to stop her at this point.

“Unfortunately, I have yet to discuss this to the King, it would be unwise without any prior preparation.”

Iroh spoke calmly. Right now, the meeting with the King may be problematic for Shuhon, regardless of how the actual negotiation would start out between Feltyrosa and King Roku – Shuhon would not want to deal with both the Red Lotus and Spada Pirates if the meeting should go hay wired if it takes place now.

“It would take some time. Dealing with the Red Lotus first matters more, not just for us but it would be beneficial for you as well. The King should be more open to negotiating with the person that dealt with the Red Lotus.”

Iroh appealed to the benefits of taking down Red Lotus first. After all, Feltyrosa may likely find it easier to negotiate with the King have showcase herself. But for Iroh, it gives him time to prepare for what’s to come. He cannot be sure how King Roku would actually deal with Feltyrosa though he is aware of the benevolent nature of the King, thus having time to potentially needing to deal with Feltyrosa would be great insurance if it comes to pass.

The king wasn't one to take unannounced visitors. While that in itself was reasonable, she had a hard time believing that her arrival on his island, especially after her earlier meeting with Kuvira, did not give him prior warning. Well, it didn't matter what order she did it in, if he refused both the kingdom and the Red Lotus would forfeit their lives. She was about to agree, but first needed to clarify one thing to Iroh.

"Very well, but I did say I would assist, and not handle it for you. I hope you have some soldiers willing to go into battle."

While it would be easy enough to handle the Red Lotus herself, going into battle with some of the king's forces would not only speed things up, but tire them out in the event she needed to fight them as well. Besides, there was always a chance that the leader of the Red Lotus could prove entertaining and force her to use more effort than she planned to give this. Assuming that Iroh confirmed some of the king's soldiers would be joining the assault against the Red Lotus, she would follow Iroh toward their location. Eager to see the two foolish members who brought about the fall of their organization. She would take extra care to show them the error of their ways, not that they'd live to regret it.

“Very well. After your… meeting with the Red Lotus, they have escape to the mountains in which we do not know where exactly they are headed to, but their last known trail was picked up at Zoryu City, a small city east of the Capital.”

Iroh spoke, essentially agreeing to their side of the deal, discussion with the King for the defeat of Red Lotus.

“It will take a day from here on a carriage. I will send word of your arrival, the guards will know of you.”

A day may take a little too long however, for this means that more time for Red Lotus to prepare and escape deeper into the mountains, yet perhaps Feltyrosa may have an alternative to getting there quicker which may ultimately lead to even half a day of travel. But no matter the case it would seem that Zoryu City would be begin the end of the Red Lotus with the assistance of the Spada Pirate’s Mayhem.

Iroh would eventually leave the establishment, leaving Feltyrosa to her own devices. For the man would have things to prepare and make sure everything is going accordingly. For Feltyrosa, she would have the choice to get there as soon as possible, whether through the public transport in the form of carriage or her own way. Or she is still free to her other affairs and join the rest of the Imperial Army chasing them down at a later time.

CHOICE-DEPENDENT ​

Presumably depending on how Feltyrosa would get there – should she rush over likely through the use of her powers, she would find the skies darkened as night would come to pass when she reaches Zoryu City, with the city only lightened up by the bright flames of the torch and lanterns throughout the city, otherwise should she took the carriage she would arrive in the city by day.

Spoiler: OOC

This one kinda depends how you want to get there, I thought of an alternative but you may or may not have or be aware of it so feel free to try, otherwise if it fails you will just default to arriving by day.

As they traveled, Iroh mentioned that their transportation, a carriage, would take about a day to reach the Red Lotus' hideout. That was a bit too long though. If she flew there, she could greatly reduce the travel time. However, it would force additional work on her, as she'd be alone. Unless...

"I can take two of your soldiers with me, and we could potentially be their in only a few hours. If you know any brave enough to accompany me."

She summons two solid Hollow's. They float around her aimlessly.

"They can grab onto these little ones and as long as they can maintain their grip, it will be fine."

Despite it meaning more work, a part of her wants them to fall as it would be funny.

"If no one accompanies me, then taking longer to get their is better than me expending more effort, so I will accompany you via carriage should no one be brave enough to make the trip with me. I wasted enough time with that failed rendezvous with the Red Lotus early, so I simply wish to settle this matter as soon as possible, meet with the king, and finalize the takeover so I can be on my way."

Whether soldiers joined her or not, travel arrangements were set. Now it was just a matter of time until she got to see them squirm as she wipes them all out.

Before Iroh could leave, Feltyrosa made a request for just a couple of soldiers to accompany her towards Zoryu City, though the request seems weird considering she was supposed to meet up with the rest of the army that is pursuing the Red Lotus in the city, but nevertheless – the request seems fine considering that the end result is the same. With that in mind, Iroh would have Feltyrosa wait at the gate exiting towards the route to Zoryu City, where a couple of soldiers that she requested would eventually meet her there – it would be more efficient that way. Ultimately, when Feltyrosa finaly made her way to the meet up location, she would indeed find 2 soldiers waiting for her.

As Feltyrosa would utilize her powers, through her subset of capabilities being flight – she would start flying towards Zoryu City, and utilizing her ghosts to carry the less capable soldiers with her, unlike Feltyrosa however, the soldiers are constantly flailing as they are carried by the ghost that would follow their masters as they flew past the city and towards Zoryu. With strength and effort expended, Feltyrosa would quickly arrive in Zoryu City in the middle of the night.

Near the entrance of Zoryu City, Feltyrosa and her two escorts would arrive fast enough, though the soldiers with her are much wearier considering that they flew towards the city in such a way that they did not expect and spend more time flailing about. Taking time to rest now that they are on ground once more – a guard of the city came to speak to Feltyrosa, escorting her towards the western side of the city entrance. Just a short walk outside of the city entrance – a small camp with soldiers can be seen. A particularly small group of soldiers. Bringing Feltyrosa all the way into the camp tent, here she would notice 2 particular figures looking at a map, one in which Feltyrosa is familiar with.

“Prince Zuko, this is the pirate that Iroh has sent word about.”

The escort’s words quickly brought attention from the man whose face is half burnt, and the other – Kuvira.

“I see. I do not know what are your intentions, but Iroh seems to trust you so I will not object to your assistance.”

“You…!”

While Zuko did not seem to be aware of the details that was spoke to about between Feltyrosa and Iroh likely due to having to chase down Red Lotus himself, Kuvira’s face however turn into one of boiling anger. Yet she would be smart enough to keep herself from exploding in front of the prince. It is fair to say both doesn’t seem to trust her, with one ready to throw hands at her if not for the situation. But regardless of the situation, for the time being they are allies with a common objective. One that Feltyrosa could easily use.

She got two soldiers to accompany her, ensuring that should Iroh be lying, there would be some of the island's military presence to help her. During the flight there, she was quite amusing by how much the two soldiers were flailing about. They were clearly not used to such freeform flight. She had forgotten it was not something most people were used to, as she only ever flew herself or Jeanne. With Jeanne being quite used to it. She couldn't even recall Jeanne ever being quite so... unhinged. Even when flying for the first time. After touching down on the base camp near the battlefield, she and the two soldiers, who looked mighty happy to no longer be flying, walked over to the one in charge of the efforts here. Based on what one of the soldiers said, that person was Prince Zuko himself.

"Rest assured, the Red Lotus falls today."

Catching the look that Kuvira is giving her, Fetlyrosa smirks as she continues her conversation with Zuko.

"I am guessing you have a plan? Anything I should be made aware of? Or should I just go wild and have some fun at my own discretion?"

While being eager to enact her revenge, she was also calculating, and won't not run off if there was a plan in motion. As much as she was someone who craved battle, she even more cunning.

Despite the concerns of her peers, Feltyrosa choose to stand confident, smug even – for he would pretty much ignore Kuvira’s boiling anger, and instead focus on the calmer Prince’s intentions. Making sure to let Zuko know that she stands on their side, at least for the time being. Quickly shifting the conversation to the main objective which is to find the Red Lotus, Feltyrosa inquires about the current plans to catch them. However, she would soon find that catching the Red Lotus isn’t as easy.

“The Red Lotus has escape towards the Mountain Pass; we weren’t too far behind their tracks – however there is a problem.”

Prince Zuko said as he makes note of the problem that Feltyrosa would face, pointing towards another mountain pass just north of the capital city, far west of where they are now – Prince Zuko continues to illustrate the situation to Feltyrosa.

“We believe they are heading towards a base far to the west, hidden within the another mountainous region. However, this entire stretch of land is actually a forest.”

Prince Zuko continued as he traces a line between two mountain passes.

“This stretch of forest is known to be not just one that is shrouded in mist but has a mystical energy that dulls one senses, even the Colors of Observation are dulled by its energy. However, it was only a few hours since they have made their way into the mountain pass and our scouts that are tracking them down made note of the fact that they only just entered the forested region.”

“We are leaving soon to make head way into the forest and try to catch them before they could reach the base. The forest is too dangerous at night so we will meet up with the scouts at the mountain pass and chase them down.”

Kuvira quickly followed up on Prince Zuko’s words, though her tone was carries the weight of aggression, her need to chase down the rebels allowed her to put down her grievances with Feltyrosa quickly.

“We will be taking several small airships to get to the rendezvous point. Once there, we will search for them from the skies”

Should there be no questions, Feltyrosa will find that she will have to make another choice, follow Prince Zuko and Kuvira on the airship or to set out on her own. Going on her own is faster yet more she would need to exude even more effort, yet following with the imperial army might take some time to prepare everything before setting off for the chase, meaning to give more time for Red Lotus to regroup and reorganize a potential counter-attack.
