"Where were you yesterday?" Ursa stood over Sozai's desk, in a demanding tone.

"We're not married for you to demand my alibi." The young Fire Lord continued to sign some papers.

"You went to prison, what were you doing?"

Sozai sighed. "I went to meet our grandfather, and my namesake. Have you ever met him?"

"No, dad kept me away from him, but he always told me stories about him, why did you meet him?"

"Look, keep out of my business-"At that moment a servant came into the large, red office.

"Your Majesty, your komodo rhino is ready."

Sozai wasted no time and ran out of the office. He mounted the giant rhino, and was accompanied by Toph, Lin, Azulon and a few firebending guards. Ursa watched from the window, which viewed the front yard, as the rhinos left.

"So why did you have to take two earthbenders to burn a house?" Toph asked, when her and Lin's komodo rhino came closer to Sozai's and Azulon's.

"Incase there is something inside that house that we forgot, you'll sense with your earthbending."

"And Azulon?" Lin asked, looking on the five-year-old.

The Fire Lord looked at the recently made Prince of the Fire Nation. "He insisted on coming. At that age I myself wanted to see the house burn."

Half an hour later, Sozai stood on the hill that gave a clear view of the house.

"Sir, the house is completely empty." A firebender ran up to Sozai to announce.

"Sozai, are we going to see the house get destroyed." Azulon asked his older brother.

"Yes, so enjoy the view when it comes." Sozai ruffled the young Prince's hair.

Below the captain firebender nodded to Sozai. The firebenders were positioned around the house, ready to firebend. Sozai began to breathe heavily with eye closed. Smoke began to come out of the house, the windows and doors. Picking the correct moment, Sozai punched the air to release a jet of white fire. The other firebenders joined in.

Sozai would never forget this view. His fears were one step closer to vanishing in the flames, as his grandfather told him and Sozai indeed felt a large weight lift from his shoulders. Hopefully ... it would last.
