You're alone,
You're on your own. So what?
Have you gone blind?
Have you forgotten what you have and what is yours?
A young man with a high bun and golden eyes stood in the mouth of a cave somewhere in the forest of the Fire Nation Capital's Royal Estate. The forest is green and teeming with life while a small creek bubbles nearby. Deep inside the cave, a strange creature cowered in the darkness. Silvery dragon wings speckled with gold shone as the sunlight fell through a crack in the ceiling as golden hair spills down narrow and slender shoulders. The teenager's eyes are wide as he saw the creature huddling as far away from him as possible, hunched over and quivering beneath her wings.
Glass half empty, glass half full.
Well either way you won't be going thirsty,
Count your blessings not your flaws.
"It's okay," the young man coaxes to the being on the floor. "I won't hurt you." As soon as he takes a step forwards the being lets out a low warbling growl. Bright orange eyes brimming with fear glare at the male as he halts. He sighs and turns away, pulling out a small charcoal stick and a roll of parchment to draw the scenery. He'd picked up the habit from his mother whenever she was trying to lose troubling thoughts.
You've got it all~
You lost your mind in the sound…
The next scene shows the young man sitting on the rock outside the cave, meditating with a lit fire. The being finally came out of her cave today, but still kept her distance from him. Her hair was as golden as the fire he wields and her body clad in a tattered shirt and leather trousers. Suddenly, as the male is almost immersed in his thoughts, he feels a warm presence overhead. Paying it no notice he breathes deeply. The warmth settles next to him and he feels her breathe in sync with him.
There's so much more!
You can reclaim your crown,
The being finally steps into the light after several months of visits from the teenager. The first time she steps into the sunlight is when the male tells her that he has been exiled and sent out to redeem himself. The being with the wings and the tail of a dragon stares with wide eyes at his bandaged face, his dulled and pained eyes. She flinches away slightly as he reaches over to extend a hand to her. With eyes lowering in sad acceptance of rejection, the teen turns away.
You're in control,
Rid of the monsters inside your head.
A clawed hand reaches out and lightly grips the male's sleeve, making him halt.
Put all your faults to bed…
Turning slowly, the teenager stares at the girl with the wings and tail, seeing her smile softly. She steps back, and holds her hand out to him. The teen's eyes grow even wider and he reaches out to her but she growl sat him, warning him.
The teenager seems to think before turning his head away and extending his hand to her. The girl's eyes widen as she smiles even bigger, showing sharp canine teeth before she steps forwards. The boy jolts as a soft clawed hand lays gently in his own large rough palm. Looking over to her, he sees her close her eyes and lean into his touch, letting him run his fingertips over her silver-scaled cheek and tangle in her hair. A voice makes him freeze, the first he's heard in this forested hideaway other than his own…
"Z-Zu-ko…"
The Prince stares at the girl as his face splits into the first smile on it in three weeks. "Yeah. And you are?" The girl hums and cocks her head. Zuko understands and names her himself.
"Hikari"
You can be king again…~
The scene changes to the open ocean. The girl is skimming the waves and laughing. Under her, Prince Zuko is smiling softly as he watches the half-dragon fly, his Uncle Iroh next to him with a knowing smile on his face.
Then the light at the North Pole happens, and Zuko become cold and focused. The Hikari is seen in the dark area of the Boiler room, curled up and sighing dejectedly as Zuko becomes obsessed with the Avatar and getting home again. She is seen speaking to Iroh, asking if she had done anything wrong to make Zuko not accept help or comfort from her. Iroh assures her it's nothing wrong done on her part.
You don't get what all this is about,
You're too wrapped up in your self-doubt.
You've got that young blood, set it free.
The storm scene happens, Hikari thinking that she can make Zuko speak to her again, flies after the Gaang. Taking a bad hit from Katara's water-whips and losing her stability in flight, Hikari screams as she crashes into the ocean. Zuko's eyes are wide as he sees what has happened and scrambled to dive over the ship to get to her back to safety.
You've got it all…
The next few days are shown with Hikari sick and her tail bandaged, showing that her left fin is gone from the hit the Waterbender got on her. Zuko, to the shock of the rest of the crew, takes a verbal lashing from Iroh without a flinch and, even more surprising, looks about to cry.
You lost your mind in the sound…
Zuko is seen fighting the Gaang, kidnapping Katara and taking her necklace. turning to the Water Tribe girl, he snarls at her when she shouts at him. "You've downed the person who matters most to me and she'll never be free again. This is my compensation until I figure out how to fix it."
There's so much more~
You can reclaim your crown~
The rustling of blankets in Zuko's room on the ship alert the guard outside. Knowing what that entails, he runs above deck to tell Iroh.
You're in control,
Iroh intercepts Zuko, telling him the news and the Prince's eyes widen before running below deck to his room.
Rid of the monsters inside your head…
Opening the door, Zuko sees Hikari staring at her lost fin, tears in her eyes and falling down tanned cheeks unable to comprehend never flying again. With guilt in his eyes over his part in driving her to the cause for it and relief that his only friend is alive and well (as she could be in this situation, anyway,), Zuko pulls Hikari into a hug as she cries and he apologizes.
Put all your faults to bed…
When Iroh enters the room to check on the two teenagers, he sees them snuggled in the bed, Hikari nestled under Zuko's chin and snoring softly while the Prince has his arms around her and had buried his nose into her golden locks.
You can be king again…~
