"My son,my beautiful baby boy,it breaks my heart more than you can ever imagine to leave you but it pains me more to leave you with your father. He is a cruel and unforgiving man. The last thing he ever decerved it to be a father. I know i must leave now so i can say these things without fear. Zuko my greatest wish was to take you away from that man but it was impossible. The only thing i can do is tell that in my eyes ozai was never your father. I believe the word "father" is a title that must be earned just like a firebender can call himself that only when he is skilled with bending the fire and not because he makes fire or can hold a flame in his never did anything to win the love and respect of his son but he always taught you that everything in life worth having must be earned through suffering. He never suffered for you zuko so he must not have considered you something important from the very beginning. My son,being a parent means suffering but only a smile of your child is more than enough payment. A parent will never abandon you zuko. Ozai is your lord,is your master but he is not your father. Never forget that zuko and always remember that a fathers love doesnt always come from your father. Goodbye my son.

Zuko hadnt realized that tears were streaming down his face. When he finished reading he hugged the letter,fell on his knees and he cried. He didnt remember when was the last time he cried this much. His father would be ashamed of him. No,ozai was not his father, his mother was right. A father must love his child to be called such. He had betrayed his father for the sake of his lord,for the sake of his pride. His father was locked up in jail . Did his father really deserved that; No,ozai deserved this and much more for what he did to him and the fire nation. And zuko was going to make sure his "lord" will be punished for bis crimes against his family,his people and the world. And be knew just whose help he was going to ask.
