I ran to the front of the palace where Zuko and Azula were fighting. I hid behind a column and peaked out from behind. Azula was winning. I could tell. But, it was an Agni Kai. I couldn't help him. I sneaked to the other side. I didn't want Zuko to see me here. I peaked out again and saw Zuko on the floor.
"Now for you water bender," Azula laughed.
"No!" I yelled and ran towards Azula.
Azula immediatly shot lighting at me. I was ready to re-direct it when Zuko jumped in front and tried to re-direct it but... he failed. He directed it to his stomach but instead he directed it towards his heart. He lay, on the floor, dying.
"No!" I screamed and ran over to him.
Azula laughed. "Now what are you going to do?"
"I'm going to kick your ass!" I yelled and threw daggers at her. Fire and ice daggers. She blocked them and hopped onto a rooftop.
"I'll handle her. You take care of Zuko," Katara said as she water whipped Azula.
I made an ice cave around me and Zuko so we couldn't get hit by Azula. I kneeled by Zuko's side and lifted his head up. He opened one eye and said, "Didn't I tell you to stay?"
"And when do I ever listen to you Prince Zuko?" I smiled as I cried. He gave me a weak smile and then closed his eye. "Stay with me Zuko!"
I layed his head gently on the floor. I took some water and bent it around my hands. This was it. If I couldn't heal him then... he would die. I put my hands over his wound and breathed in and out. I concentrated on healing. I didn't even hear when Azula cracked the cave open. I didn't even hear Azula's scream when Katara tied her down. All I coul think about was saving Zuko. Saving my husband. Saving the love of my life. I opened my eyes and the water was white and was turning under my hands. I concentrated even more. The water pushed its way through the wound and quickly back out. I let the water drop and fixed my eyes on Zuko's face. He opened his eyes and said, "Thank you Mills."
"No, thank you," I said as I helped him up.
"Get me out of here! I'm the Fire Lord! Worship me!" Azula cried and screamed.
"I think she finally cracked," Katara said as she helped me with Zuko.
Zuko nodded and held me tight. I don't know if it was out of love or he thought that he was going to fall.
"Want help?"I said as I helped Zuko with his robe.
"Thank you," Zuko said smiling.
"Everyone is waiting Fire Lord Zuko," I said as I motioned him to follow me.
The doors opened and everyone bowed on their knees to see Zuko, even me. Zuko kneeled to get the crown and stood up.
"This has been the longest war in history. Everyone, every town, every nation has lost something. With the Avatar," Zuko looked at Aang. Aang looked at Zuko and smiled. "With my Future wife," Zuko looked at me, motioned for me to come stand with him. I got up and stood next to him. "And with everyone's help we can repair and restore the nations!
"All hail Fire Lord Zuko, Avatar Aang and Fire Lady Millennia!" The people sang. a
