SEASON TWO SPOILER (for those of you odd (or deprived) people who have yet to see Zuko Alone, don't read this)


Remember what I said about trying to write happy stuff? Yeah... that didn't happen. THIS came out instead. I firmly beleive this is what Ursa said when she was talking to Zuko. I can't write happy stuff!! ;; At least I'm good at this though.


Ursa's Last Night

Ursa paused outside the fire lord's room, breathing deeply to prepare for what she knew she must do. Quietly she turned the handle, and slipped inside.

There can be no marks. I'll use the pillow.

She reached out and picked up a pillow that lay next to Azulon.

I can't let him wake.

She slammed the pillow over Azulon's face, and he awoke, struggling against her, but he was old and weak, and Ursa was fueled by fearful determination. Slowly the struggles lessened, then stopped all together. She removed the pillow, and arranged his features to look more peaceful.

"I'm sorry." she whispered to the body of the dead man. "But you left me no choice." She quickly went through the papers on the desk and laid out a fresh piece and entitled it 'The Last Will and Testament of Firelord Azulon'.

'I, Firelord Azulon, do hereby leave my throne to my youngest son, Ozai. May he rule wisely.' She added a bit more about lands to be given to Iroh (she did owe the poor man; after all, she was taking away his rightful place on the throne). Then, finding the real will, she burned it.

Then she left again. Rushing to Zuko's room, she looked in on him. The boy was fast asleep. She shook him gently and he awoke.

"Mom?" he muttered, sleepily. "What is it?"

"Zuko, remember, everything I have done, I have done to protect you." A final hug, trying not to cry, as she breathed in her son's sweet scent one last time, and then she left, tucking him in as he drifted back to sleep.

The boat was waiting for her. As it pulled out of the docks, she prayed to the spirits.

"Please," she whispered to the cool night air. "Let that be the right thing to do. Let it be all right now."


Tadaa! Tell me what you think! (I know you will, ONLY PERSON WHO REVEIWS!!!1!-- love you 3333333)
