Role to Play

by Dungeonwriter

Azula has a part to play as the daughter of the Fire Lord. She does her duty, ignoring the one question she doesn't want answered.

Zula Poem for Rashaka, who made me cry with her beautiful drabble! I thought about reinventing Zula's image a bit, giving her a reason for being such a horrible evil creature. I still hate her though.

Role to Play

I am defined by his needs

I can be no more or less

I am a weapon of Fire

Anything else I suppress

I am a Princess by birth

And confined to a role

That takes up all of me

And consumes me whole

I'm a prodigy by luck

Which makes me of use

So you are kinder to me

And you spare the abuse

For you, Father, I'll be cruel

I'll be your perfect little heir

You exiled my brother

And I didn't even care

I make sure to be useful

I shall think as you think

I must be your pride and joy

I won't be your weak link

So now I delight in torture

And enjoy causing pain

Finding solace by the graves

Of the people I've slain

I'll be a prodigy of devastation

In my hands, fire will spread

Consuming all around me

Leaving dreams and hope dead

I'll ignore the haunting question

Which torments me night and day

The day when I am not needed

Will you also throw me away?

AN-So, what do you think of Zula now?
