Never Give Up Without A Fight

Never give up…

"What's the point of fighting if we'll never win, Uncle?" Zuko's eyes were weary, his figure slumped and defeated.

Iroh looked at him seriously. Should this boy lose his spirit, his fight, the war would be an easy win for Lord Ozai. Zuko did not seem to realize he was, eventually, the balance between peace and war – he, in the end, would decide what happened to those who fought, and what would happen to their causes.

"Zuko…we fight for that which we love. Do you love your freedom? Your life? Your ability?" Zuko nodded. He understood.

…without a fight.
