The Sun inside You

by MagicCompassion

Azula has always known three things about herself; she is a prodigy, she is meant for great things, and her destiny is to achieve perfection. No matter where she is-whether she is standing as Fire Lord or deteriorating inside a mental institution-she has always these three facts as truth. And as she grows, she finds these truth happening in unexpected, but beautiful ways.

As she breathes in, she can feel the warm air fill her lungs. She can feel the power of her breath, warming her chest and stomach. Then she breathes out, and blue fire pours out from her nostrils. She smirks and whispers to herself "Still got it."

She turns as the sun finally starts to peak over the horizon.

The power of the solstice sun fills her up and she closes her eyes at the power of it./p

She hears an impatient growl besides and she smiles as she looks to see a long, blue dragon lying on the ground beside her, staring up at her in boredom. She rolls her eyes, still smiling as she says "You know I need to prepare."

The dragon groans in response before closing her eyes, drifting off to sleep./p

She laughs at her companion for a moment. Then she carefully lowers herself to the ground, folding her legs into a pretzel formation as she closes her eyes. She folds her hands in the form of fire, as she takes a deep breath in, inhaling the energy of solstice sun.
