Zuko,
By the time you read this letter I'll be gone, don't come after me. I can't stand seeing you put in all of this trouble for me, I'm not worth you throwing away everything you've ever wanted. I'm not strong enough for you, you deserve someone your country will adore, not despise. I will always love you.
Katara
Zuko sat at the edge of her bed clutching his heart in pain. How could she do this to him? They were in love that should have been sufficient.
But it wasn't.
What had he done to drive her away? Was he not kind enough, did his temper get the best of him?
'It has to be my scar' he thought bitterly, tracing his hand up against the marred flesh.
'Of course someone so beautiful would never fall in love with a deformed monster like me, how could I be so stupid?'
Reaching into his pocket, Zuko pulled out a carved stone set upon a string of his nation's finest velvet. This pendant had taken him three months to carve, and he had spent many restless nights perfecting it.
To think that tonight he was going to propose.
Didn't she understand how much he cared about her? How he would give everything just to see her smile?
Of course she didn't.
In spite of everything they had been through, every tumultuous turn of events, she still didn't love him enough.
So he threw the pendant into the rising flames.
He didn't need anymore reminders.
