I squealed with delight when I saw that you had updated. JOY. I'm so glad to see the Pomegranate aspect of the mythology finally added to the story. It makes it feel complete, but I am saddened. Both yours and Fandomme's wonderful fanfictions are coming to a close right around the time Avatar itself is ending. Its like I have nothing to look forward to anymore. :( But great beautiful, sexy, sweet chapter my dear. Take your time with more, draw this out, give us something more to look foward to now that this wonderful ride is starting to wrap up.

Hey, nice stories, you come up with some pretty creative stuff, keep it up, and by the way, if you can, contiue this story, its my favorite of all your stories...at least, all your stories so far.

I just finished your story. I love your imagination and congratulate you on your idea, as Greek Mythology is one of my passions and I adore ATLA, putting those two together is a stroke of whimsical genius. That said, however, I need to comment on two things that have been nagging me throughout the story.

For one, Katara’s supposedly fiery temper does not sit well with her compliance with her family. I know that eventually she rebels, and that she is supposed to be a young, sheltered and dutiful girl that only knows filial love. However, if she really had the character she is supposed to have, she would have rebelled against the smothering way sooner. I guess it would be easier to understand her actions, or lack of them, after the Court if the extent of her confusion regarding her feelings was explored more. We know everything about the feelings and complexities of that divinity of a man, the Fire God (enough to have us smoldering in our seats just reading about the guy) but we don’t really see the confusion regarding her feelings. She acts like a doormat and it does not fit the description of who she is supposed to be or her personality from the first act of the story. Which brings me to my second point: regardless of how dutiful she was regarding her father, she would not have left the guy (and all that awesome, earth shattering sex) so easily. The news are peppered with teenage girls that turn their backs on their families because of good sex. Ilsa, from Casablanca, was willing to forgo being the first lady of Czechoslovakia just because of good sex. Hell, 1000 ships were launched to destroy Troy because of good sex. People do crazy, stupid things because of good sex. What is unlikely, is people *turning away* from good sex. Of course, if you were to pay attention to me you are left without a third act, and without the emotional arc that she is supposed to go through when transitioning from girl to woman-goddess. So I guess is OK because it fits your story. But more fire from her at the Court would have made the story less predictable. Or, more exploration regarding why is she confused would have made her actions more understandable. Whatever, I enjoyed the story. I like the Dragon/Siren thing. I used to be neutral, but the zutaraness is starting to get at me. I wish the creators would explore the idea and its fascinating angles.

Note me on DA if you want to reply. Anyways great chapter. Here's an idea. Have Zuko morph into a dragon when's he's extremely ultra pissed off. Because he's a god and gods can take on any shape they want. A dragon would be cool.

Im sorry, but these characters hardly portray Zuko or Katara. The whole Greek God thing doesnt work for me either. This all seems like a very long, unorigional romance novel. You have great spelling and punctuation though, which is more than I can say for a LOT of Zutaran stories.
