Katara
A sound, a name he can't quite remember, but desperately wishes too.
Instead he recalls a lost mother, the smell of burning flesh then exile and the moment before lightning meant for another strikes his chest.
There is pain then darkness followed by a question he can't answer.
Who was he protecting?
He tries to think, to remember but all he can see are flashes.
Water, earth, fire and lightning coming together until nothing makes sense anymore and then suddenly there's a girl standing in-between it all.
Who is she?
And who is Katara?
He doesn't know.
But she calms the elements, and soothes the storm until there is only them and silence.
She saved him and he has a strange feeling that this wasn't the first time.
Everything else in this world is confusing, painful but not her. She is peace, wonderful lasting peace that he's needed for so long, and suddenly he is desperate for her.
Yet time is fleeting.
She and this world are both starting to fade as consciousness is restored.
However he doesn't want to leave her for it would be to abandon the only thing that's ever made him feel whole.
Loneliness, regret, anger and pain slowly leak their poisons back into him and even though he's going to light his world returns to darkness.
His eyes open to hellish flames, sulfuric air and he wonders then if he's really alive at all.
But wait
Blue eyes
Soft hair
Someone is there with him
A name to match a girl he can't quite remember but doesn't have too anymore.
He realizes the person holding him is all he ever needed.
For anyone confused this story takes places in Zuko's mind after Azula shot him during the series finale.
