After the Invasion
"Princess, your Father wants a word with you." "What does he want to talk about?" The
Princess replied. "He wouldn't say, but he doesn't look happy." Princess Azula sighed as she
turned away to go see her father. "What did you want to see me about?" She inquired. It was a
few moments before her father looked up to answer her. Fire Lord Ozai was deep in thought,
his hands placed under his chin and a little over his face, his fingers just cradling his nose, and
hiding the grimace that was curling his mouth.
"Yes" his voice was a whisper but the malice and anger issuing from it was a palpable
presence in the room. "Your brother told me everything." "What do you mean?" "Don't play
coy with me! You lied to me about the death of The Avatar!" "But I didn't lie" "Don't you dare
lie to me again! The only reason I do not kill you now is because you are the last in line to the
throne! Your brother, Prince Zuko has abdicated his position, abandoned his nation, and his
family! He told me himself he intends to help The Avatar defeat me!"
Princess Azula was quaking with fear, she had never before experienced her father's anger.
However the news that Zuko had abdicated filled her with fierce joy, the throne was going to be
hers and hers alone. "Find The Avatar! Find your brother and uncle! And once you do, kill
them! Kill them all!" This thundering command had brought her out of her reverie. "Yes Father,
I obey" she answered humbly. "Now get out of my sight! I don't want to see you again, until
you have given me proof of their demise!"
Princess Azuala bowed and walked out of the room. Her mouth curling into a malicious smile.
She would find her Brother and Uncle, she would make them pay. She would destroy The
Avatar. And then when her Father had forgotten his wrath towards her, she would bring him
down. She would no longer be Princess Azuala, but Fire Lady Azula, the most feared ruler of
The Fire Nation in history.
