Prompt: 79: Autumn
Takes Place: Pre-Season 1
Characters: Zuko, Ursa, Azula
Autumn in the Fire Nation was a strange thing. The colors, reds, oranges, browns, and golds, reflected the heat of the proud nation itself. It made Ursa smile that little smile of hers, the smile she'd only let show when she was really happy. Azula noticed this before Zuko, and she tugged on her Mother's robe.
"Mother, why are you happy?" Ursa looked towards her daughter.
"I'm happy, dear, becuase the leaves are firebending, too." When one of the leaves fell into his hand and didn't burn it, Zuko tilted his head in confusion.
"But, Mother, the leaves are cool." Ursa smiled, taking the golden-red leaf from her son.
"The strongest fires are those that burn coldest." She kneeled down to her children's height, giving them both a warm embrace.
"The fires in you are the ones that will become the strongest."
Heart's Note: Kid!Zuko was just too cute!
