Zukos point of view

Siege of the Fire Nation

In my younger years as a prince, my mother used to say to me when my sister repeatedly fought aimlessly with me, "People are born with a special talent only they can do Zuko, that's why everybody is special in their own way" and I always shrug it off or hesitantly forgot the whole situation. But in the end, I always knew mother meant a lot more than that, some secret meaning behind my own naïve toughs at the time, that is to say I didn't enjoy a lecture much with surprises that in the later future would indirectly affect me in a troublesome situation. No, I was too stubborn to believe that, or perhaps afraid.

The candles that were constantly lid every so after a sunset calmed me automatically, instantly like a natural feeling of self-peace found in oneself if willingly done. Those times reminded me of what I lost, and why. That natural feeling overwhelmed me even at the darkest, most lonely moments I so hastily tried to forget, I always founded that to focus directly and peacefully at what the objective was and still is the only way to achieve the ultimate goal. The royal family at the castle was a mere reminder, a shadow that haunted me viciously every conscious and unconscious moment present, my thoughts shifted from one issue to another much greater, and a the constant reminder that there would be no end from suffer, but there will be a harder task and situations after the one left in the memory was over, there was always something to end.

I was suppose to be like him, I was suppose to feel that way, though I kept asking, what way? I liked to be myself, create with my self-mind, I liked to feel my way. But I wasn't the only one, my sister desired her individualism as well, she incredulously took it her way for her, and at the same time was bribed for her great achievements. To me, the entire ridicules action did not matter for my tired soul, or mind for that matter, I was too young to have chaotic plans.

The fire nation insignia represents honor, power, energy, activeness, and will to achieve, so it was not surprising how the war favor was on us, likewise was not surprising the nation's leader was feared. It is honor what they taught me to love, it's honor what is naturally in my being, I chouse to fallow the good of honor, it made me happy because I was raised with it, that's why I am who I called myself to be.

It always struck me that without honor, there was no pride, no moral and nothing to achieve. The way of my people, or life style, how we have survived, and how we are winning against the rest of the world.

I hated surprises, I always had to deal with surprises, Azula never did. Maybe I was too young to realize it, or maybe too irrational, but I was more sensitive than Azula. The thought always infiltrated in my mind that I was the unlucky one, that I was lucky I was ever born, and even luckier my father hadn't slathered me yet for been weak. Azula had no mercy over the vulnerable, injured and unfortunate people; she always had it her way. But what is honor, if you can't achieve justice, Azula, like many other fire nation citizens saw honor thru respect and secretly, vile satisfaction, father had that and power in his mind.

I refused to believe it even now, but uncle says I have to be humble to achieve my self peace I so longed for, so even now as I debate my honor and satisfaction, I refuse to believe I'm more merciful than Azula. But as I feel the heat, intoxicating feeling of destruction around me, I search within my soul, every moment I take action, I realize even more I'm more compassioned than Azula, the flames in my fists overwhelm my surroundings. I search deeper, I'm more grateful and loyal than Azula could ever hoped to be, not just for my nation, grateful and loyal to life and what it gave me, grateful that I was still alive, and loyal for what it gave, that's the true meaning to enjoy life. I started to feel free every moment I admitted myself these things, I started to feel more powerful.

'Azula always lies, Azula will always lie, Azula has no passion but for vicious satisfaction' I knew this all to be true and it strengthen me, my temper did not rise not even for a moment, I was finally at peace. I'm more powerful than Azula ever was, I was always more powerful than her.

The sheer stench of smoke, fire and fighting fueled my lungs when I started to run where the Avatar and his friends headed, the Fire Lord's Throne room. More likely, father would be there, even if the core of his nation were being demolished of every bid of life that opposed the rest of the world's army. I begun to remember my training with uncles' teaching, I'd never completely learned how to make lightning over my own chi, but I don't mind, I had something else.
So much nostalgia was around me of previous times, it clanged in my mind and threatened to blur my real objective, yet all I had to feel and felt even now was complete remorse of what lay everywhere I looked. The though of Azula came back inside me, as shouts where heard, pain, suffering, destruction; yes I knew, I'm more merciful than Azula, I'm more compassionate than her, more grateful of the life I had, and in the end, always in the end, it got me onto a weak position with the royal family, and I never knew why they hated me. "Never forget who you are Zuko" such nonsense that I listened to back then, half asleep, the true horrible fact even my mother did not knew of though was that I never knew who I was to begin, it always felt so right, so natural to embrace the world to autocracy, and it probably felt so right for Azula to make the world embrace her with her totalitarianism.

Now though, things have changed, I feel my body and my bending increase even more as I let it go, not be confused of my feelings. I have powerful honor in me, because I know I'm doing the right, for the nation and myself.

'I'm more honorable than Azula' I reach the entrance hall, and unwillingly step on a burned flag with the fire nation symbol engrave in the read silk, I see myself once swearing loyalty to our nation for the rest of my life, for the security of my people. But that was a mistake, to swear my loyalty when father was Fire Lord. "You will learn respect, and suffering will be you teacher" I opened my eyes vanishing the thought and for the first time vanishing the regret I felt for saying the right thing. So part of my own satisfaction will be, as I raise the burned object, burn every flag the nation posses presently, and let the people's hatred over the my nation evaporate like this flag when this war is over, let them sink the hatred of the wasted years in those grotesque flags like I am with this pitiful object.

The ashes replace the mass as it physically changes to unite with the air; I, once again inhale the sent and exhale the rest of my doubts. I move to open the entrance hall doors, and already I see fractures and defections in the room, destroyed relics and people lying unconscious or dead. I start to control my body flow when I reached the hall before my father's chamber, and as I had suspected, the avatar is engaged with my sister in battle, and the water bending girl is with him.

The years of suffering, the anger I had towards Azula was enough to kill her mercilessly, I knew, however, that submitting to hatred will trigger my confusion, and now was not the time to practice control; I had to take the chance. I needed to face my father, but first I had to deal with my sister.

"Avatar" the three of them turned to me "go to the next room" Azula looked incredulous and aggravated for ignoring her

"Well if it isn't Zuzu, do I have to annihilate you too?" "I'll deal with this, leave!"

the Avatar headed for the door with the girl fallowing him, but Azula tried to stop them, that is when I kicked her face and she stumbled to regain her balance.

"I said go now!" the avatar went inside with the water girl.

"You insolent traitor, is there no end to your foolishness!" Azula shouted angry obviously outraged with me.
"No matter, father is more than capable of finishing both of them"

I looked closely to her, she had drain some energy fighting the avatar, but Azula never showed weakness so easily.
I never said anything, but waited for her to strike first.

"What's the matter Zuzu, already having regrets? that's too bad, because I'm going to break you!" she separated the energy with her fingers and threw the blue energy at me, this was my chance.

I felt a massive amount of energy enter my fingertips, travel inside my arm and swirled into my stomach, I breathed, relaxing and redirected the electricity out of my body with my other hand like uncle instructed me.
But I didn't just redirected the lightning, I aimed it back to Azula.
The single blast of electricity knock Azula after it electrocuted her for a couple of seconds, she fell to the ground smoking inside and outside of her body, strangely, she took the blast and was still conscious.

However, she was heavily burned. Pitiful she looked, tired and old with the new shape her face held, I didn't enjoyed the scene.

Azula started to cough, and begun to moan painfully, she was wearing armor, which meant more pain.
I closed in preparing to end her. She looked up slightly dizzy but with rage.

"Well Zuko, what are you waiting for! finish it" she held some pride left.
I knelt in front of her while she was holding her stomach of the horrible agony.

"I wished it could have been different Azula, but you never allowed me the chance to be your brother"

"You'll never escape out of here alive, father will make sure of it," she snarled half her eyes closed "do it"
"You're asking for relive of the pain you feel, but I wont kill you" I said strait to the point.

She moved a little trying to harm me but she was in too much pain, her entire system must have been agitated, it would have actually been more compassionate to just kill her now.

I punched her in the stomach and she fell to the ground. Even if she woke up, the burning sensation would still be there.

"I know mom, I know why I'm special" I left Azula laying there unconscious as I made my way to father's chamber.

Mai was standing in front of the door.

I'm thinking of making this just a one shot, but I can go on, feed me reviews and I'll feed you stories
