Fire Lord Ozai, probably the most feared and deranged Fire Lord that had ruled the Fire Nation, and was mad enough to self-title himself the Phoenix King. His craving for power, to rule all four nations, to make the one superior nation: The Fire Nation World. Everyone hated him; well everyone excluding Azula, and all believed he needed to be stopped. Yet the Fire Lord is human, and he could to have been born this evil, but was influenced badly by his father, who too had the delusional craze to rule the world following the footsteps of the man who started it all; Fire Lord Sozin. However he was never this cruel or sadistic, only one woman knew that, one woman who respected that, the open woman who was banished due to her deep motherly love to her son and the fact she would even leave to let her husband be the Fire Lord. How would a woman so selfless fall for some so selfish? Maybe, Ozai wasn't always evil?

The sun made the sea war glisten and sparkle, the white soft beach left untouched by man, and upon the rocky cliff nestled neatly between the palms and boulders, sat the summer home for the Fire Nation Royal Family. A perfect paradise for a quick royal getaway. It was a frequently use location for one Prince Ozai, and his wife Ursa, along with their two children, Zuko and Azula.
A Fire Nation ship set course for Ember Island, on the top deck, a tall man was practically leaning over the rail with a broad smile upon his face, letting the sun's rays light up his ivory skin, and make his ebony hair shine. He was full of joy and excitement. Ursa giggled as she approached her husband from behind, "One could easily get confused. Are you the Fire Nation Prince or just a big kid wanting to go and play on the beach?" she asked as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders. He sighed and lent into her warm embrace. She watched as his smile grew, if was possible to stretch any further than it physically could. "I know, I know, but it just, we haven't been back here since Azula was born! Ember Island! Where we had our honeymoon, where we took Zuko on his first vacation and besides you deserve a break!" he turned to wrap his arms around her petite waist and pulled her close.
"Uh-huh sure a rest, a rest from separating Zuko and Azula, your children by the way, from try to attack each other, and stopping your mother from trying to steal my mothering job and also trying to stop you from wanting more kids..." she was silenced by Ozai placing a delicate kiss upon her rose lips, she sighed and placed her head upon his should and watched the waves with his arms still securely around her, making her feel happy and safe."Besides, what's wrong with wanting more kids?" he asked casually resulting in a playful slap on his arm by Ursa.
"Sure, we can have another child..." she smiles to him.
"Really?" Ozai's eyes widened, believing he was joking,
"Sure, also as your prepare to be pregnant and carry the child for 9 months, have crazy maids hound you every 3 minutes and then once you have the child, realising that your clothes don't fit as well as they used to? If you want to do that then, sure we can have another kid." she smiled as she placed a kiss on a rather dazed Ozai, chuckling she left his still in his trance. He didn't know how long it was until a voice awoke him from his trance, "Prince Ozai, we are approaching Ember Island," one of the crew called from the cabin.
"Excellent, thank you" he called back and looked at the tropical paradise that he was so used to and loved.
By the time they finally approached the holiday home, Ozai was practically bouncing with excitement, causing Ursa to be extremely amused that this was the mature, intelligent, and well rounded Prince she had married 10 yrs. ago. Yet again he wasn't only the excited one to be here, Zuko too was overjoyed to be back the holiday home and the little 8 yr. old fire-bender was running around the home, practically knocking over every piece of loose furniture. Ursa sighed 'Looks like I'll be cleaning most of this vacation' she thought as she moved the vase away from the edge of a table and onto a high cupboard out of the reach of small children. Ozai insisted that they had total privacy and asked for none of the servants or guards to be present on this vacation allowing them to do it all themselves, to the pleasure and dismay to Ursa, sure she can cook and clean but having to look after 2 (maybe 3 if he counts) kids whilst trying to relax herself. But being the strong, powerful and beautiful Princess she was she could handle this, if she could control Ozai, she could do anything.
"Mommy, Mommy can I go play in the water? Please? I promise I won't use any fire!" little Zuko begged his mother, grabbing onto the rim of her outer dress and tugging it desperately. Ursa smiled and nodded slightly down at the little boy. His golden eyes lit up in wonder and a beautiful smile appeared on his face, cheering for joy as he dashed away. "That your father with you, I don't want you going by yourself." called to him as he ran out the back door. Shifting Azula from one hip to another, she looked at her dozing 6 yr. old in her arms; she smiled and gently kissed the child's brow. Little eyelashes began to flutter and small sleepy eyes shone into her golden ones. "Hello Sleepyhead..." she said with a smile. Azula wiped her eyes with her hand and looked around; a little confused expression appeared on her tiny face as she looked to where she was. "Mommy, where are we? We're not at home are we?' she asked in a cute voice. Ursa kissed her cheek and smiled.
"Well, we are at home, but just a beach home sweetheart, not the palace." she said gently, Azula nodded and wiggled slightly, wanting to get down and stretch her legs. Ursa gently lowered the 6 yr. old as she slowly ran out the back door towards the sound of the ocean.
Ursa sighed once again and moved to sit on one of the large pushy sofas in the living room, she turned and gazed out the window and saw her husband playing in the sand with her two children. She smiled. 'This is going to be a nice vacation' she thought to herself as she watched her little family.
Slowly but surely; the sun began to set on the first day of the vacation, and Ursa had just about finished making a light dinner, she may have been a Princess but she definitely knew how to cook she was completely useless and definitely not materialistic at all. She watched as Ozai quietly and carefully crept into the house, carrying in both arms two very tired but very happy children. Ursa smiled and made her way to her children and placed a careful kiss upon each of their foreheads and gently kissed Ozai's lips. He smiled and turned to carry his sleepy children upstairs and into bed. Ursa smiled fondly at her husband as he was doing his fatherly duty, this was one his moments that made her believe was the right choice of a husband and that he would change this war and create peace between the four nations.
