Summary
Azula, former Princess of the Fire Nation, left the Palace three years ago in order to build up an alliance and take her father down, once and for all. But the world is changing - the Avatar's arrival is both a blessing and a curse, and with him comes a risk she might not be willing to take. Meanwhile, in a Nation more fragmented than ever, Zuko will do everything to cut off his weakness and folllow Ozai's orders - but he doesn't know if he can kill Azula.
---
“It’s always a pleasure to watch destiny unfold."
Azula sighed, “Destiny will not win a war, Uncle. This is the result of all out hard work.”
“Ah, but just as we cannot control the skies and seas, sometimes we cannot control the path our lives take.”
“Tell me, Uncle. Do the tides control the ship, or do I?”
Uncle laughed, “Point made. Lead on, my niece, but be wary of incoming storms.”
For a moment, the world was still, and something tense settled on her shoulders. But she shook it off.
She had the Avatar, and soon she’d have the North.

Summary
Azulon meets his son’s glare head on. “This sacrifice is not only for Agni, but for our people. Morale is gone, it is time for us in the palace to place our lot with peasants. Bender or not the prince must die, for a god, and for the people.”
Understanding seems to come to Ursa and Ozai at the same time. Horror crosses Ursa’s face and she reaches for her husband's sleeve digging labor broken nails into the silk.
“Ozai, we cannot lie to a god.”
Ozai shakes her off, “A god that let his chosen people suffer. Father is right, we are at war, the loss of a son will show our people how we tried and lost as much as them.”
Ursa shakes her head, chest heaving, “We cannot lie to a god.”
“I don’t care about a god.” Ozai leans down to look his wife in the eyes, touches her face like she is something that held value and now sits on the shelf of an antique store. “Let the people’s anger be on the god when our efforts fail.”
“If he does not bend,” Azulon muses, bringing the baby back to the cradle in his arms, “then he does not bend, but that mustn't escape the palace walls.”
Azulon hands Ozai his son and Zuko wails like he has been set ablaze.
Or, Zuko was born to save the Fire Nation.

Summary
They stare at the fire for a while before Sokka does ask a question.
“How long ago did it happen?”
“A little over three years.” it feels like it’s been longer–and sometimes, like now, it feels like it happened days ago.
“Oh.”
He can hear Sokka doing the math in his head. They’re around the same age.
“...Was it an accident?”
Zuko takes a slow breath. He’s never had to tell someone about this before. He’s not sure if he’s ready.
“No.” -
