Chapter 14 - Eternal Flames : Chapter 14

(A week later)

For Suki, that night started it all, and now she felt like she was living in a fever dream. A very sexy one where her entire life revolved around sex with Khan.

As the 41st Division marched across the Earth Kingdom, Suki acted as Khan's dedicated concubine- on who eagerly sucked and fuck at command, both verbal and silent. Her duties included warming his bed at night, servicing him with her mouth and breasts in the morning, greeting him with her dripping wet pussy whenever he came back, and over and over. Days flew by as she did nothing but have mind-blowing sex with him, and Khan- being the utterly insatiable giant that he was- took full advantage of her nubile body.

She had lost count of the number of times he had left her floating euphoria of post-orgasmic bliss and dripping with his seed from all her holes. And after a few days of his constant attention, Suki knew for certain that she was utterly ruined for any other men- that there was no other man under heaven who would be able to leave her in a haze of sexual satisfaction as Khan did.

So, it was with a heavy heart that they arrived where they were now.

Clad in her casual Fire Nation shirt and trousers, Suki walked openly in the 41st Division's encampment- the soldiers here treating her with all the respect afforded to her rank as the favoured concubine of the commanding officer. A wary nod of acknowledgement followed by an awkward silence. But that was of little consequence now, she supposed. Her knuckles rapped on the cell-coach of her Kyoshi Warriors, and the wooden window slid open to reveal her sisters-in-arms.

"Suki?" They greeted her.

"I have it. I have Dignity." Suki said- cutting to the chase. "I slipped a quarter of a vial into Khan's tea this morning like we planned, get ready for anything."

"Alright... But are you okay? You're shaking."

Suki looked down to her hand. Huh, she guessed she really was shaking.

"Just the nerves." she waved off. After all, she couldn't be having feelings for Khan. Besides, it was done, the poison had no antidote that she knew of. He'll be dead within the day, and she'll still be a Kyoshi Warrior, first and foremost.

It was at that moment that Khan also arrived to talk to her.

"Suki!" Khan's now familiar voice greeted her as he approached- clad as he was in his usual Fire Nation soldier armour.

Suki did her best to act naturally.

"Khan!" She deliberately sighed fondly with a smile of simpering love-struck sycophant, and Khan's large armoured hands gently held her shoulders.

"Suki, listen..." He began, "I think we're at the level of a relationship where I can and should afford you more trust. So, in an effort to demonstrate just that, you're going to accompany us as we raid what we suspect to be the latest, desperate attempt by the town of Gaoling to supply Omashu with rice and other goods. The city must be starving right now after we burned down so many of the surrounding towns and hamlets, and this first Quest that I'll have managed to complete, I'd like you to be there. I've already left your gear on the table."

Suki blinked in disbelief. He chose to do this on the day she killed him with poison? That... that was so deeply ironic that her smile almost faltered.

Khan glanced at her sisters before smiling at Suki, "Your sisters can come along too if they promise to behave."

... that was surprising.

"Thank you for gracing us with the oppor- Mmmm~" Whatever Suki was about to say or think next was cut off by a deep kiss from Khan- thoroughly pillaging her mouth like it was an Earth Kingdom trading caravan. Right in front of her sisters too. Her arms reflexively wrapped around his neck and a leg hooked around his thigh.

"We leave shortly." He reminded her as he left her breathless, "You know where the key to the coach-cell is. I have to go... check on our rice."

But as he turned to walk away, she noticed that he kept flexing his left hand.

"Are you okay?" Suki asked, worried in more ways than one. Was the poison working already? And why did she feel so ambivalent about it?

"Just a bit of numbness in my wrist, I'm fine." Khan nonchalantly dismissed her concerns. "You all best get ready- we leave shortly."

With that, he walked off to prepare as well- leaving Suki with her sisters.

"That... that was Khan?!"

"Suki! You never told us what he looked like under the helmet!"

"Why do all the cute ones have to be taken... or evil?"

"It won't matter, he'll be dead within the day." Suki murmured as she led them to Khan's abode, "And we'll be able to move on with our lives."

...

It was... refreshing for them to be able to once again garb themselves in their ceremonial Kyoshi Warrior uniforms. Black armour over green kimono, immaculately painted faces, and even their War Fans. It had only been a week since they'd been captured, but it had felt like months instead. And although they were still technically captives... Suki knew that they wouldn't be for much longer.

She and her sisters rode with the raiding party alongside Khan, and as the day progressed so did Khan's numbness- apparently having slowly been creeping up his arm by the time they encountered the massive caravan train that the town of Gaoling sent. Amazingly, the numbness did not seem to hinder Khan's fighting prowess much- using his deadly meteor hammer to smash aside the caravan's escorts as if he wasn't poisoned at all.

Suki and her sisters didn't need to fight, but it took everything in them not to intervene as the escorts were slaughtered. The ferocious brutality of the 41st still gave Suki pause. The normal Fire Nation soldiers ducking and dodging around Earthbender stones, and their ostrich-horses taking large bites out of the living and feasting on the dead and dying. It only reminded Suki that they couldn't blow their cover now. Not when the poison still hadn't taken full effect. So, they stood by as Khan and the 41st did what they did best and slaughtered the resistance to the man.

Once the dust settled, Suki and her sisters soon found themselves standing alongside Khan as he interrogated the captured caravan masters who were bound and kneeling right beside their caravan. Meanwhile in the background, the 41st Division soldiers were offloading nothing but sacks of rice from the caravans' holds.

"I see..." The indomitable giant said. "So, Bumi and Beifong are indeed getting very desperate now that the noose is tightening around Omashu. The food situation is even worse than we thought... Excellent! The siege will go even smoother now that we know they're starving."

Almost a hundred thousand people in Omashu consigned to starvation... Suki reached her limit.

"Khan, the people of Omashu shouldn't suffer needlessly! Please let them go!" Suki bravely pleaded to him. He paused to look at her, the whole Fire Nation raiding party did so actually. Suki knew it wasn't in her place to do so, and she may have just killed her and her sisters like this... but no, after that slaughter, she believed that she had to take a stand. She must still have some good will with Khan. She had to!

"Why did I have a feeling that you'd ask something like that? Very well..." Khan sighed before looking over to his troops, "Load up the rice onto the caravan! We're only taking luxury goods."

"Sir?!"

"You heard me!" He growled loudly, and the Fire Nation soldiers of the 41st Division hurriedly obeyed- loading sacks of rice onto the caravan. Shaking his head, Khan looked over to the caravan masters, "You lot. This is your lucky day. Thanks to the Kyoshi Warriors, we're only taking half of your cargo."

Immediately, the caravan masters prostrated themselves in front of Suki and her sisters.

"Thank you, Kyoshi Warriors!" they chorused, "Thank you! We will tell Omashu of your deeds today."

"Just get out of my sight." Khan growled, and they certainly didn't need to be told twice- scrambling for the reigns of their ostrich-horses before their caravans lumbered on.

Under the orange sky of late afternoon, Suki just stayed silent as Khan tracked the caravan train's movement until it disappeared over the northern horizon.

"41st Division, move out!" He declared before taking a step, swaying, then collapsing face first onto the ground in a loud thud.

"Khan, sir!?" "SIR?!" "HEALER! The Captain is down!"

"I'm.. I'm sorry." Suki whispered her sincere apologies to the giant who had bested her and... made her into a woman in a whirlwind affair. He may have been a horrible person, but at least he was a good lover. Suki looked to her sisters as they began searching for an escape route...

"Stop. Stop!" Khan, who was apparently very much alive, shouted in frustration, "You're all such shit actors!"

"Sorry, sir; but they didn't teach us Theatre in boot camp."

"Ugh..." Khan grumbled as he stood up to his full height- dusting his uniform off as he looked over to where Suki was. "Alright, now that part has failed. Let's talk about that poison that you tried to give to me."

"W-what?" Suki took a step back. "Y-you knew?!"

"Give us some privacy!" The giant roared to his troops who immediately obeyed as they double-timed it away.
