Today was a special day for the Fire Nation Royal Family. Today was Prince Zuko's graduation from the Royal Fire Nation Academy for Boys. His parents Ursa and Lu Ten, couldn't be any prouder.
Ursa couldn't stop gushing about how proud she was of her eldest child. How fast he'd grown up. How dashing he looked in his graduation robes. Lu Ten was quite proud of his son's performance in his mathematics final exams.
Everything was so perfect. Of course, Zuko's little sister Kiyi was too young to understand what was happening. Nonetheless, she gave her big brother tons of hugs for his achievement. Everyone in the family showed up for the graduation. Being the royal family, they were front and center.
The academy's headmaster gave a rousing speech about this year's grads. Then Zuko, who'd been class valedictorian, gave his speech. Afterward, everyone got their diplomas. Finally, everyone who graduated from both academies was welcomed to the Royal Palace for a huge party. It was a joyous day indeed.
