Hi all!

As promised, I can never just leave this incomplete. It was kind of difficult because I had so much expectations for it and just went through a block, but I'm not perfect so I have to finish this the best way I can. I spread out the second chapter to three chapters just to help update more because the length was too much. I spread out the second chapter to make things easier. The following chapter will be updated soon.

Updated - 07/25/2017

So, to explain again, this is an AU scenario. Azula, Katara, Sokka and Ty-Lee are all in their early to mid-twenties. Kiyi is about fourteen.

Azula still conquered Ba Sing Se. In the AU, she took over more locations. This is one of the reasons why Ozai becomes Phoenix King quickly before she turned eighteen.

After her mother's banishment, Azula felt detached from her military achievements. She unknowingly grew bothered by Zuko's mistreatment because she noticed her father having too much power. Her strange behavior forced her to jump in between Ozai and Zuko after Ozai scars him in the Agni Kai. She regrets this decision when Zuko later ran off with Iroh before Ozai could even banish him and she pays the price.

Since Aang never pops up, Sokka and Katara were forced under a political alliance Ozai set up with most countries after Ozai took Omashu. These countries did not want to experience another attack from the Fire Nation so they accepted the alliance. Hakoda made a difficult decision to enter this alliance even after his wife was murdered because he wanted to protect his family. The alliance is only one on paper, but in reality, it's basically the Fire Nation's stamp on every piece of property and people.

I intend to update until I get this finished. So there will be gaps but I intend to get this all done. And for those wondering about, The Secret, I will also make sure that is done.

Note – I know Katara discovers her healing powers after going off with Aang, but I think she would still discover it, especially with the Northern Water Tribe's influence on her training. Her interactions with Azula could have helped too.
