"Mai," Zuko said, his voice cutting though the darkness like a knife. She groaned.

"Yes?" she asked, turning over in bed.

"I don't think prison is enough for that guard," he replied. "I mean, she may be in prison, but she's still a princess. She is the Firelord's sister."

"I guess," Mai said with a yawn. She turned over once again. Zuko heard her breathing slow as she fell asleep. As much as his body wanted to sleep, his mind would not so he lay awake, thinking.

He couldn't take it anymore. The guilt was haunting him, so he got up and put on a traveling robe. Checking to see if Mai and the girls were still sleeping, he tiptoed out of their quarters and out of the palace. As the moon shone high in the sky, he walked slowly over to the guard's chambers. Am I really doing this? He asked himself as he stood outside the door. He took a deep breath, and knocked.

The guard that answered was one of his most loyal guards, trusted and valued throughout the years. His eyes were sleepy and surprise filled his face.

"Firelord Zuko?" he asked, confusion filling his face. "Did I do something wrong?" The Firelord shook his head.

"Get your brother," he commanded. "I have an important mission for you."

The two guard's feet echoed down the empty prison hallway. They anxiously looked around, though they never saw anyone. They were the only two guards left in the prison—well except for the head guard.

"Is he crazy?" one of them asked, his voice muffled by his helmet.

"Must be," the other one replied, his voice gruff. "Why would he want us to kill one of our own, let alone the chief officer?"

"Shush!" the first one said, roughly shoving him. "Do you want him to hear?" The second one nodded, and continued walking. Suddenly, he stopped abruptly, holding back the second one. "He's right there," he whispered, pointing at the chief officer. He was standing right outside of Azula's cell. They looked at each other, and nodded. Within the second, they turned the corner, fireballs cutting through the dim light. The chief officer screamed as the two descended on him, rapidly throwing fireballs at him.

And inside the frozen cell, Azula smirked. He was getting what's coming to him.

It was early in the morning, the sun slowly rising over the horizon. Zuko was sitting on the couch. when Mai walked in. She smiled and sat down, holding a cup of tea.

"Here," she said, handing him the cup. "It looks like you need it."

"Thanks," he said as she sat down, taking a sip. They sat together in silence, enjoying the bliss of the morning, when Honora and Arya were still sleeping. Their tranquility abruptly ended with a knock on the door. There was an urgent sound to it. Mai sighed as Zuko got up to open the door.

As he walked over to the door, a pit in his stomach opened. He knew what the news would be. He felt hollow, that he had sent assassins to kill the chief officer. Then he remembered that he deserved it. It was for Azula. His sister. The former princess. My sister. My sister. The words repeated in his head as he opened the door.

"Firelord Zuko," a guard breathlessly greeted him. He was panting. "I was just at the prison, your honor, and we found the chief officer dead!" Zuko transformed his face into fake surprise and sorrow.

"What?" He filled his voice with shock. "Mai, I've got to go," he said, following the guard. As they arrived at the prison, he widened his eyes for the effect. The officer's body was laid face down on the cement. There was a huge wound from firebenders on his back, and he could tell there was more than met the eye. He shook his head.

"Who would do such a thing?" His stomach swirled as he knew the answer. I would. But he cleared it away. For Azula. For a princess. For my sister. The guard shrugged.

"I don't even know why," he said. "He didn't do anything wrong." This confirmed Zuko's thoughts. That officer was the only one that knew about Arya. Inside, he felt relieved. Now, he and Mai, and of course Azula, were the only ones that knew about it.

"We'll find out, and bring the murderers to justice," he said boldly. Even though I am the one responsible.
