A/N

This is the third, and final, part of my fanfic trilogy. Unlike the last installment, the Aftermath, the chapters in this fic do not stand alone, and therefore you might have to keep on your toes to understand what's going on. The Aftermath was originally going to be a drabble series, but this is not. This story was bred to be el mejor historia (right word there?) del mundo. Ha. Ha. I'm kidding.

I strongly advise you to read the first two installments first. Otherwise you'll just throw something at me for not making sense.

The following characters and settings do not belong to me. They are property of Avatar the Last Airbender, Nickelodeon Studios.

Fire Lord Ozai,

Greetings, my Lord. I hope this letter finds you well, and if it does not, then I hope its contents will please you.

As you know, I have been tracking the Avatar and the traitors: Prince Zuko and General Iroh. I have been on their trail since leaving the town Nishe in the Earth Kingdom, and now I am situated outside Ba Sing Se. Their path ends here, therefore I sent a spy into the city to determine if my postulation was correct.

My Lord, I am proud to be the one to tell you that the Avatar is literally just outside my grasp; however, I must also report that your shameful son and brother have now joined forces with him and seem quite content. With your permission, I would like to rid the world of such treasonous persons, and I would also ask your permission for more troops, as I wish to fell the city Ba Sing Se and capture the Avatar.

I will not fail.

Again, I hope this letter finds you well, and I will be returning home victorious very soon.

Your endearing daughter,

Princess Azula

Killer chapter, eh? It's my favorite ever! (saaarcaaasm)

It was a necessary way to begin, however.
