For the first time in thirteen years, the one-time Prince Ozai was in the Fire Nation Palace once more. However, he was literally on his deathbed. He was gradually perishing alongside his daughter. His wretched mother, Lady Ilah, and his cursed great-nephew Zuko were the only ones maintaining a vigil.

How dare they even sit here as the demon who backstabbed both him and Azula laid in wait to claim their souls. How dare they pity them! And yet, as his death drew near the despicable beast, he couldn't help but let his unscrupulous mind think his thought for the last time. He considered where his spirit would end up in the Spirit World's realms for the souls of Alanna's children.

He'd never confess it even now as he lay on his deathbed. However, the reality that couldn't be denied? Ozai had long feared what awaited him in the hereafter. It's the reason why these were his final thoughts.

As death closes in, I find myself looking within.

To see if I can find even a trace of remorse inside

I know what my fate shall be

Yet what judgment will I receive?

Will I ascend to Evergreen?

Or descended into the Valley of the Forgotten?

Am I ready to see what lies on the other side for me?

For they say whoever judges you in the Spirit World is a good judge

They will punish the guilty not for what they did right

But what they did wrong.

And no one good outweighs their bad

I dread my soul will be lost forever in a valley of fog

No way I'll see the rolling field of green

Surround with fences made of stone

I can't even save myself as I lay here in wait.

Death is drawing nearer with every shallow breath I take

It is far too late to correct my mistakes.

My last plea is for my mother to forgive me!"

As father and daughter drew their last breath, the ones they despised the most wished the spirits who decide where the soul resides had mercy on Ozai and Azula. They'd forgiven them and didn't wish their lives had ended in this way. So they prayed their souls would find a way to rest in peace.
