----------------

Summer was only a month away, but Aang, Sokka, and Toph managed to find Zuko and Iroh, to teach Aang firebending. Finally, the solar eclipse arrived, depriving the fire nation of their powers. That day, Aang led the battle that would change lives forever. Both sides lost many men, but Aang continued fighting. Aang faced off against the Fire Lord, he barely made a scratch and he was worn out. Toph and Sokka battled against Azula and her friends. Zhao was attempting to attack Aang as well.

Aang managed to kill Zhao, Toph and Sokka managed to knock out Azula and her friends. The Fire Lord was the only one who remained.

The Fire Lord quickly knocked out Aang, almost killing him in the process, luckily, Zuko jumped in and fought with his father, determined to stop him.

Many hours passed, Toph and Sokka was unconscious due to the fact that the guards snuck up on them. It was only Zuko and his father.

His father, had no mercy on his son as he continued blow after blow, the eclipse ended and the Fire Lord gained control of his power once more. Exhausted, Zuko dropped to the floor, his father gained up on him and posed to throw a fire ball at his son's body.

Then, out of nowhere, a dagger swiftly knocked out the Fire Lord's crown off of his head. Zuko looked up and saw a shadowy figure, up on the window sill.

He strained to see who it was, swiftly, another dagger pinning the Fire Lord to the wall. Then Zuko saw an arrow launch from the figure and made contact with the Fire Lord's arm.

Zuko stood up and looked down at his father. "Prince Zuko, you are still weak."

With a dying breath, the Fire Lord collapsed on the floor, Fire Lord Ozai's reign has come to an end.

Zuko looked back up at the window sill for the figure, but it was gone. He whispered a small thank you as he collapsed on the floor from exhaustion as well.

And so begins my story, part 3!

---------------

Zuko woke up from the infirmary bed, the whole world spinning and the walls looked like they grew fuzz. He sat up and looked around, then he remembered, he father was dead.

He sighed and looked next to him. In the bed next to him, Sokka was snoring quite loudly. Aang, however, was looking out into the landscape as occasionally looked down onto his cast. Zuko got up and wobbly walked over to the young airbender. He sat down next him and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Aang sighed and wiped away a stray tear, "I'm happy that the war is going to be over, but…." He wiped away another tear. "Katara…" he whispered. Zuko was struck with guilt and sadness, making his stomach lurch. The last time he saw her was in Ba Sing Se.

"I…..I'm going to go for walk." Zuko stuttered as he used the crutches and limped over to the door and opened it. The ground shook as he walked down the stairs, careful not to fall, he looked out the window nearest him and saw the earthbending girl, practicing. The girl sure had skill, being blind and all.

He limped over to the courtyard, where he and his mother used to spend time. As he saw, the pond was filled with regular koi fish and the usual turtle ducks. Zuko limped over to the pond and sat down on the stone bench. He sighed as he saw the turtle ducks, most of them were yellow with green shells, but one of them was yellow, with a blue shell. He watched as another turtle duck waddled over to the pond and saw that this one had a red shell.

Zuko watched with curiousity as the red one chased after the blue one. The red one would occasionally nip the blue one on the neck or on the bill. The blue one yelled out loudly as the red one continued to follow it.

The two turtle ducks reminded him of….he and Katara. He bit his lip as guilt rushed over his body once more as he thought of what he did to her. Quickly, he got up and limped back over to the infirmary. Aang, still watching the bird soar and the trees sway, Sokka still snoring away, mumbling about seal jerky, and him, thinking about Katara, wondering if she was alive or dead.

Then his mind went over to the figure he saw when he was fighting his dad.

The figure was so mysterious, the way it took down his father with ease. Zuko sighed as he reached into his pocket and pulled out the purple necklace. The one he made for her.

The smooth stone felt comforting as it ran over his thumb. Hearing the healer coming in, he hastily shoved it back in his pocket.

"Oh! Prince Zuko! You are up! Perfect!" The healer smiled. He noticed the blue betrothal necklace she bared.

"You from the Water Tribes?" Zuko asked as she dabbed a gooey ointment on Sokka's arm. She nodded shyly and rushed back to the counter and grabbed a cotton ball. "North or South?"

"South."

"So, who's the lucky man?" Zuko asked.

She cleared her throat and answered back, "He's Master Pakku's grandson."

"Oh, you must be happy." Zuko replied.

"I am, he truly loves me, it's more than what I could ask for."

Zuko was silent.

"I could tell, that you would be a good Fire Lord, you are very kind." The woman answered.

"Oh, thank you." Zuko said, smiling.

"You know," The healer said as she looked at Sokka.

"He looks a lot like my instructor's brother. But that can't be, she said that she has no brother."

Zuko raised his eye brow. "Your instructor?"

"Yes, she is so kind, but she barely smiles and when I told her that I was getting married, she was close to tears, I asked her what was the matter, but she just said, "Love only brings heart break…."" The healer shrugged as she took some water and healed Sokka's bruise on his cheek.

The water moved with grace as the women pulled it back into the jar. "Did your instructor teach you that?"

The woman nodded and pulled the sheets back up to Sokka. "Well, your uncle wanted me to tell you that your crowning will take place tomorrow."

"Oh, thank you."

"My pleasure." The healer packed up her bags and headed for the door. "Wait!" Zuko shouted before she could close the door. The healer popped her head back in and asked, "Yes?"

"If I may ask, what is your instructor's name?" Zuko asked.

"Oh, her name is Kita, do you know her?"

"Maybe."

"I'm heading back to the South Pole right now, do you want me to refer her to you?"

"If you can."

"I will try, nice meeting you Prince Zuko." She bowed and closed the door.

Zuko sighed as he plopped down on the bed and rested his arm across his forehead.

I know that's Katara, has to be…..
