Ch. 3: Teaching
Zuko woke the next morning to someone shoving him awake.
"Wake up, Daddy! Uncle Iroh says I'm going to be taking lessons today!" Aurora said happily.
Zuko groaned and turned towards the window. It was about an hour after dawn, so he decided to get up.
"Okay, okay I'm up, I'm up." he said, pulling himself into an upright position. "How was your sleep? Was the bed comfortable?" he asked her.
"It was perfect! Are you gonna get dressed soon and help Uncle with my lessons?"
"Yeah, just give me a minute. You go ahead and eat some breakfast. I'll be there soon."
"Okay, Daddy!" she said, going out the door.
Zuko dressed in his training clothes. He was pretty sure Uncle meant for him to teach her the basics of firebending, and armor wouldn't be very appropriate. After he was dressed, he made his way to the mess hall where he found his Uncle drinking tea and the princess eating a small breakfast of fruit.
"Ah, Prince Zuko! You're awake! Come have some tea and mangos," said Uncle Iroh.
"I don't want any tea uncle." Zuko said, grabbing a mango.
"Daddy, Uncle Iroh says you and him are gonna teach me firebending today!" Aurora said, a huge smile lighting her face at the very thought.
"That's right, princess. After your done eating, we will all go up on the deck and practice." Iroh said, taking a sip of his tea.
"But I'm done now! Come on, let's go!" she said, pulling them towards the door. They had both eaten plenty, so they didn't resist.
Once out in the open air, Iroh headed to a bench to watch the practice and to give tips. Zuko continued to the middle of the deck with Aurora and started to speak.
"All right Aurora. First we will start with breathing exercises." He said.
"Okay." She replied.
"Fire comes from the breath, always remember that. First you must breathe in through your nose, and out through your mouth." He demonstrated for her. She copied him perfectly.
After a few hours of practice, it was apparent that Aurora was a fast learner. Some of her attacks were a little weak, but that was to be expected. What wasn't expected, however, was this.
"Ouch!" Aurora cried, holding her hand.
"What's wrong? What happened, Aurora?" Zuko said, clearly very worried.
"I burnt myself…" she started crying.
Then something strange happened. Her hand started glowing a bright yellow – orange and the wounds started to close. When the glow left, her hands were completely healed over.
" Fire healing…" Iroh said softly. "Only one out of ten thousand have the ability. Aurora is a very lucky girl."
"I've heard about that. It was said that Fire Lord Sozen had the ability, but I didn't really believe it." Said Zuko, still staring at his daughter's hand.
Aurora, however, barely listened to the conversation. She looked at her hand in awe until finally she asked, "Are we gonna train more?"
"No, princess. I think now would be a good time to eat lunch, and then get on with your other lessons." Said Iroh, starting to walk off the deck.
"Okay." She said, following him below.

(With Aang and the Gang)
It had been days since they had seen Zuko's ship. They were starting to worry about ambushes in the future. Sokka kept insisting that Zuko probably had given up, but Katara and Aang weren't so sure. It was getting dark, so they decided to camp at the next port, which happened to be named Chi - seng.

(Back with Zuko)
"Prince Zuko?"
"Yes, uncle?"
"We are running low on supplies. We should dock at the next port. We also need to buy Aurora some new clothes. Her old ones are no longer fit to be worn."
"What's the next port?"
"Chi – seng."
"Alright then. Helmsman! Set a course for Chi – Seng!"
"Yessir!"
