A Love Like This 2 Child's Play

Chapter 1: Dad You Promised

Azros (Katara and Zuko's son) POV

I outside of mom and dad's door, my ear pressed up against the door. Inside I should have heard my dad getting up and preparing for our day, but instead all I heard was my mom's soft snores, followed by my dads loud booming snore. I slid the door open and looked in to see the sheets rise and fall with their breathing. I crept up to the bed and climbed on, I then started to jump up and down shouting, "It morning, come on we have to go." I said as I pulled on my dads arm. Today dad said he would bring me to one of his meetings, I was supper excited.

"Your sons awake." I heard my mother said tiredly

"Hey you get up with the moon, I with the sun, and seeing how the sun isn't even up yet. I believe before sun rise he is your son." Dad replied with a laugh. He got up out of bed and went to the bathroom, I could hear him turn the water on in there and start to wash his face. I looked at my mom, who was now sitting up and I crawled over to her, sitting comfortably in her lap, her arms coming protectively around me. In public I would never cuddle up with her, but in the privacy of the palace I was more than happy to hug mom back. She held me close and smoothed my top knot. She began to hum like she did when I was small and right on que the door opened and there stood Kysa, rubbing her eyes with one hand while her other clung tightly to her stuffed turtle-duck. She came walking over and on to the bed, where she then sat next to me on mom's lap. I was surprised how easily we fit inside her arms. The dad came in all dressed and his hair in a top knot, even though I liked it better down. His hair only came to his jaw, unlike other fire lords who grew their hair as long as momma's. When mom saw dad come out she stood up as we climbed out of her lap, she quick put a robe around herself and came to pick up Kysa on to her hip. "Azros have fun with daddy today, and teach those stuffy advisors a thing or two for me okay?" She asked giving me a big hug and turning to leave along with my sister. I just nodded at her statement.

"Come on Az, let's get this over with." Dad said walking towards the door.

"Dad, after do you think we can go see the turtle-ducks?" I asked walking over to him.

"Yeah, we can do what ever you want after squirt, maybe we can even grab some ice cream from the kitchen." He said putting a hand on my shoulder. I looked up at his scar, I remember momma telling me how daddy got that scar and I knew he would never do that to me. I loved my dad, me and him did everything together, when I had to learn fire bending I only wanted him or uncle iroh to teach me.

"Promise?"

"Promise, come on we better hurry or we will be the last ones to get there." Dad said as we walked faster down the hall and into the meeting room. There was a large table in the middle that held a map of the fire nation in the center. Dad once told me that this used to be the war room, when ozai was fire lord, but since they stopped calling it that. Dad said he did not like wars so he refused to call this room the war room. Dad's throne was set up higher on a stage, there used to be a fire wall in front of it but dad didn't like to use it he like to see the face of the person he talked to.

"I know it's against the rules, but do you want to sit with me on the thrown?" He asked, I nodded at him happily. I would love to do that, seeing how that will be my thrown one day."

"Dad will I rule all of that when I am fire lord?" I said pointing at the large map of the fire nation.

"Yes," He said changing the map to one of the entire world.

"Dad what about all that other land will I rule it too?" I asked curious

"No Az, all those other land belong to the other nations. You must never try to take control of them or you will end up like fire lord ozai. Everything you see on this map had a delicate balance as fire lord you need to respect that balance and the other elements. You must work with the avatar to keep that balance." He explained in a stern voice.

"But dad I thought a fire lord could do what ever he wants?" I said confused

"Azros there is more to being fire lord than getting your way all the time." He said with a laugh, just as his advisors began to walk in. Uncle Iroh was the last to enter carrying a tray of tea. We all talked and made commence, I even helped dad solve a problem with an orphanage. We all stood to leave, when a boy came running in he seemed about 16ish. "My lord, the rebellion are attacking the village."

"Ready my rhino, and gather my guards. Uncle go tell Aang and Sokka to come too." Dad said getting up and starting to leave the room.

"Dad can I come?" I asked

"No, go find your mother."

"But Dad you promised!" I said as he ran out of sight " I never get to go any where" I whispered as I kicked at some dirt on the floor, then I turned to leave, but not before noticing a shadow in the corner of the room...
