Azula stood alone in the dark. She hears voices whispering, but can't make out what it's saying.
"Hello?" Azula's voice echoes.
A ring of people appeared around her. Zuko, Ursa, Ozai, Iroh, Lu Ten, Mai, Ty-Lee... Their voices echoing around her but their lips didn't move and their faces remained expressionless. The floor turned to lava, and they all sunk into it one by one.
"No! Don't leave me! Don't leave me alone!"
"You're not alone Azula." an old man stood in front of her clad in red fire nation robes, that looked like the style was a hundred years old.
" Fire Lord Sozin... Why are you here? What's going on?"
Sozin chuckled.
"I can understand your confusion, Azula and if you give us the chance I will explain what I can." Sozin said.
"All right explain."
He told her what Zuko had learned from the scrolls. (I didn't feel like typing all of that, so sorry)
"I never knew you two even knew each other." Azula said still in shock from what she was told.
"Yes, we were best friends and I betrayed him." Sozin sighed "I sacrificed my people for my own selfish ambitions. I was foolish power hungry, lost everything, and plunged the world into one hundred years of war. I don't deserve another chance, Azula... Your future was destroyed because of me. I can help you Azula."
She looked at him like she didn't trust him.
"I was sent to take you to the afterlife, Azula"
"So I'm dead." she said matter-of-factly.
"No and yes. You're on the brink of death. Ordinarily yes you would be dead but I owe you a debt of life, Azula. Just as I owed Zuko."
"Owed?"
"Yes, owed, Zuko shouldn't of survived that Agni Kai with his father."
Azula was to shocked to say anything.
"You are at a crossroad, Azula this could be you first in a long time, or it could be your last. One way you die, all your sufferings will be over, no more trials, or hard decisions, pain, it will all be gone."
This idea actually appealed to Azula. Nothing could hurt her after that, no more despair. "The other?"
"You live. Life goes on."
"Either one I choose I'm going to regret dong at some point. So life, I guess..."
" 'I guess' doesn't cut it. You have to be sure."
"I choose life."
Azula bolted up right, breathing heavily.
"Just a dream, just a dream." she repeated to herself, tears streaking down her face, washing away some of the dirt and grime.
"So, you're finally awake, Azula." man's voice said.
Azula turned her head slowly.
A fat old man sat half way across the room, drinking tea and playing Pi Sho with himself.
"Uncle Iroh?"
Iroh nodded, smiling. "I thought you weren't going to wake up, Azula."
Azula looked around, she wasn't in the Outer Ring that's for sure. The room was elegant, with a giant Pi Sho table, with Order of the white Lotus hangings on the wall, and a rug with the Order's symbol on it under the Pi Sho table.
"Want to play a game?" he asked gesturing at the Pi Sho board, fully ready for a harsh rebuke.
Azula actually smiled, "Sure."
