The Fallen Kingdom
Will Zuko learn who to trust?
The Fire Princess eyed every crevice of the palace, as if to memorize every last feature of its marvelous beauty.
Zuko stood at her side, with a blank expression. His silence was driving her insane.
"This room..." she began, evidently trying to make conversation, "needs some minor adjustments."
"Like what?" Zuko stared at her curiously. The palace didn't appear as if it needed anything changed.
"Dai Lee," two men dressed in green robes appeared from seemingly nowhere, "I need a decorator. This room is in desperate need of a paint job." Azula said, her voice echoing throughout the entire place. They nodded and left.
Zuko raised a brow, but said nothing.

"The Earth Kingdom, has fallen," everyone looked down, save for Aang.
He looked back, he saw the people of the lower ring wandering, going about their daily lives as if nothing was wrong. If only they knew...
But there was no hope now. There were no allies, no backup, or help. It was just...them. Four kids and a dethroned king. What could any of them do?
He looked closer, and he saw something else as well, more than just pleasant people. He saw families, million Kataras, Sokkas, Hakodas, and Kanas, all family, all people that deserved to live freely. He saw him and Monk Gyatso, Toph and her parents, Haru and his father, Momo and Appa, the Kyoshi Warriors, all people he had grown to love and never betray. If he quit now, it would mean always quitting, he was making a habit of running. He knew he had to stop it now.
"No," Aang said, loudly enough for everyone to hear, "I'm not giving up on this. Those people need me, I'm going back."
He turned the Sky Bison to face the outer wall.
"But Aang, think about this, if we go back in it might man the death of all of us," his majesty objected.
"That's why," the young avatar started, as he pulled on Appa's reins to make him move faster, "you guys are staying on the wall. I have to go in alone, there's something I need to do."
"Aang, no! I'm coming too, it isn't healthy for you to separate yourself from the people you love."
"No, Katara, you can't go. The Guru said I had to let go of...of you guys, it'll be easier to do that if you aren't there." Aang aid quietly.
"Forget what the Guru said!" Katara stood to her feet, but stumbled slightly without Appa's saddle for support, "Aang, you're the avatar. It's time to stop taking all of these wise people's advice, and start thinking on your own! You have to be the avatar you're way, you can't be what everyone tells you to be, because as much as you're a savior, you're a human too. A real person, with real feelings, and real needs. It's time for you to say what you do." Her eyes shined, "You need to promise that you won't try to forget us, we're your family, Aang." she hung her head and wiped stray tears from her face.

I've decided that shorter chapters are much easier to type, so this story should be pretty easy. Starting from where the season finale left off.
Now listen closely, you either hit or you miss.
Which one will it be? Play my game.
Read the question, and answer me this;
What is the Earth King's first name?
(Really, I have no clue:)
