Chapter 2

Hunger and the Talk

As morning arrived Zuko got up out of bed and paced the floor still exhausted from lack of sleep. "What could this mean?" he thought to himself, "I couldn't have seen the future, it's not possible." As he continued to pace the floor a knock came on the door. "Come in" replied Zuko, quiet annoyed that he was being interrupted in his time of thinking. The door opened, It was his uncle Iroh, "Sorry to disturb you my nephew, but its time to eat, the nice people are fixing roast duck with pea soup!" he said with a smile. "I'm not hungry." the prince said in a distant voice. "Very well then." his uncle said leaving the room. Having just remembered the dream Zuko thought that maybe talking to someone may help. "I need to tell you something." He said in a gloomy voice. His uncle turned around and smiled, it had been along time since his nephew wanted to talk to him.

Almost instantly Zuko started to talk about the mysterious girl, and the baby she had. He also told about the raid of the village and how it was he the girl had been crying over after seeing his dead body. It took his uncle a few minutes to process what he had said, for ZuKo was talking very fast. "Well, It sounds like you have seen a vision." said his uncle. "I know it's a vision!" said Zuko getting very annoyed that his uncle wasn't explaining. "I will explain if you would just let me finish" he said curtly. "This vision you were having, have you had it many times before?" "Yes!" Zuko growled. "All I can say is your mind is telling you things that are to come, it could mean that you are being possessed by someone, but that would be unlikely." "So, basically your trying to tell me that I'm going to be with that girl someday?" "I don't know for sure, but I will take you to a dream lab." said Iroh. "a dream lab?" "What the hell is a dream lab!" said Zuko. " I will explain later, I can see that this conversation is making you a bit upset," Iroh sais gravely. "Now what you really need is some roast duck!" said Iroh happily. The reason your soo worked up is because you're not eating anything!" This was true, Zuko was a bit hungry, but he still wanted to know more.

Zuko sat down by his uncle and ate some of the roast duck. They ate in silence until there was another knock on the door.
