Reign Predictions

by Jet556

From Sozin to Zuko, there has been a member of the Fire Nation court who has made a prediction about how long the reign of the Fire Lord will be. That member has usually been a descendant of the previous member of the court who had made a prediction about the previous Fire Lord's reign.

1. Sozin

Welcome, everyone. This little story is just something I wanted to do for no real reason at all. It will go from Sozin to Zuko. Enjoy and review.

Sozin

Suizei had been a member of the Fire Lord's court. Neither a major nor a minor official, he was a middle-aged man of fifty-one years. Notes about his physical appearance are lost to time the only thing that can be said about him was that he had an immense dislike for Sozin or that is at least what the theory is. A popular theory is that he had plans to put his own bloodline on the throne.

As young Sozin was twenty-four years old and unmarried and thus childless at the time he became Fire Lord, Suizei's prediction might have just been pessimism. "He'll be dead in two years and then the Fire Nation will be plunged into a succession crisis!" was what Suizei had said.

"Well then, you can have the throne if you are still alive in two years as well." Was Sozin's response to Suizei's gloomy prediction at his own coronation!

Sozin ruled for seventy-eight years. Suizei's himself lived only thirty-two years into Sozin's reign. Suizei's son continued to have the claim of heir apparent until Azulon was born. By that point, Suizei's son was fifty-two years old making him thirty years younger than Sozin. Suizei's son died by the time Azulon was fifteen.
