This was the last time they where going to meet, as she was being taken from the palace to the a place witch has no importance if not specified. He walk in the prison looked up and saw once again that there was no hope, that face was the last straw of hope he had but that very straw disappeared at the look of rage and insanity upon her face.

He got close to the door, blocking her freedom a freedom that most people thought not entailed to her. But Zuko couldn't be so cruel towards his sister, they were family.

"I have waited so long for my freedom" she said with an genuine smile

"how long has it been,Fire Lord Zuko?" she asked still smiling.

Zuko stared at her for a moment in disbelieve, his initial thought was that his sister was playing tricks, but the smile was to real there wasn't smirk just a smile.

Finally he said "About three years" and added "Your trial was complicated. very complicated" he couldn't help grin all the hours of hearing the pros and cons of the final execution of his sister.

"That is quite long, but I am relieved somebody was still defending, obviously in vain" She took a long breath then spoke in a voice that demanded and be obeyed

"Zuko I am ready now, I can face it now so be quick and painless"

He couldn't believe the surrender of his sister but then again she saw it has a pathway to freedom.

"Yes, Princess Azula"
