Notes: I do love tying in old episodes with new ones. :3 Also, with this drabble I'll be going on a mini-hiatus again (sorry D:) until Monday (11/26), this time my family and I are going on a little mini-vacation to the Dells where I'll again be without computer/internet. (But not without pen or paper, I may have a chance to write some things during the long car-ride…)
Lost and Found
That's who you are, Zuko. Someone who keeps fighting even though it's hard.
The words echo in his head, coming back to him once again. He sees her face so clearly, smiling and laughing, so real that he almost feels that he can reach out and touch her. This is not the first time he has seen her like this, and it certainly won't be the last.
But something has changed since the last time (the time when he found out how truly hated the fire nation was), something he can feel deep inside of him. He has been fighting—fighting with himself. Fighting to figure out who he was, who he is Who he will become.
Finally, among all the confusion, he has found his center. He has finally found his peace. He has finally found what he was he was looking for. He's finally found himself.
And all he can think of is his mother. If only you were here, Mom. If only you could see me now.
