A Cry for help

Chapter 1

Azula was having one of her violent episodes in cell. These days Azula was ether eating, sleeping, or having an episode. Watching from the cell door window Fire Lord Zuko could barley stomach what he was watching. It had been five years since Aang defeated Ozai and when Azula lost her mind. Back then Zuko held a lot of hope that Azula would recover in a few months, with the return of there Mother a week after the coronation But after exhaustive efforts by the doctors,Zuko their mother, Iroh, and even Aang little progress could be made with Azula. As the years dragged on everyone was losing hope on Azula's recovery and Zuko heart ached that he could do nothing to help his sister's mental illness.

But whats worst is that people had started talking about putting Azula to death if she didn't recover soon. "Is she making any progress doctor?" Zuko asked with a hint of despair in his voice. The doctor replied "I'm afraid not. It seems that unless we get someone that a conversation that dosn't end with her attacking she'll stay like this!"

Later that day when Zuko returned to the palace,a messanger arived with some hopeful news. My lord I have been sent her by someone who says they van help you're sister and asked for an audience with you my lord. Zuko thought for a second on what he just heard

Who is this person?

A Captain Isamu, my lord.

He said that severed under the princess command and that they a relationship but nothing scandalous my lord.

Zuko replied "tell him to be here in one hour to the Throne room"

Yes my lord.

Normally Zuko wouldn't give audience with just anyone, but he was at the end of his ropes with Azula. Plus this captain said he had a relationship with his sister and was whiling to help. What did he have to lose

A hour later with Zuko sitting on his throne when the captain arrived on the dot. He was a tall man about six feet with a medium build. He had black gold colored and he look to be about twenty. But Zuko also saw that he had scares on his face from what looked like he got from a horrible beating. he bowed respectfully "Captain Isuma reporting as ordered my lord". Zuko rose a walked to the captain " you my stand and you don't need to be formal, not that I don't appreciated it"

Thank you my lord

"Also please call me Zuko"

"As you wish my lo- Zuko"

"So tell me what is your relationship with my sister and how can you help with her recovery?"

"OK, well we fist met when I were six, my father was a noble man living in the city at the time. We met when my father attended a party at the palace. The children were put in a room next to the dinning hall. At first we were shy when we met but thanks to are friend we started to play together and we hit it off. later that night while your mother arrived to watch the children and watched while we played I even got to meet her. A few weeks later we started see each other more often at fire bending lessons and developed a friendship. We both showed to be fire bending prodigies and were moved into an advanced class and I also got invited to the place on a regular bases."

"what happen next?" Zuko asked

"When I turned I turned thirteen my father hah me join the military but thanks to my superior fire bending skills I was able to join the imperial fire benders so I could be close to your sister. During my time in time in the unit are friendship quickly became more deeper feelings."

"Did our father due any thing to try and separate you two"

"Fire Lord Ozai did nothing for a while but after the failed invasion on the eclipse. The Fire Lord sommand me to the throne room were he beaten me with an inch of my life and then banished me to the colonies. After he was defeated by the avatar I started my journey back to the capital but I was kidnapped by pirates then sold to slavers. I escaped Four years later and continued my journey. After a grueling year of travel I returned a week ago. My family was overjoyed to have me back."

"That Is some story but I have one question?"

"Of course Zuko."

"What was your drive on your journey back?"

"To be honest my drive was to get to help your sister. After I heard that she lost her mind. I decided that no matter what I would return to help her."

"Alright I've heard enough I believe you can provide help that my sister needs so tomorrow you will begin a therapy regiment with"

"Thank you Zuko."

The next day in Azula cell she was having an episode that was less emotional than violent. Tears streamed down her face as she screamed

"Oh Agni why?" Azula screamed

"Why do I still need to suffer like this I've paid for my crimes, so why do I do I still suffer?"

"Someone please help me!"

Azula continued to scream at the top of her lungs until her voice was horsed. Then her doctor walked in slightly terrified.

"Princess you have a visitor." the doctor said fearful of attack from the crazed princess. The last doctor that tried to talk to the princess was burn to near death.

"Oh Agni what plague have set upon me."

"One that involves an old friend Isuma replied."

Azula immediately stood a turn around with the look of shock in her eyes

"I - Isuma is that you?"
