Happy Endings

[Winter/Early Spring 146 AG]

They called it The House of the Lost Spirits.

If rumors were to be believed, it was built by Rangi herself, in the immediate aftermath of Avatar Kyoshi splitting the island off from what was the Yokoya peninsula. Supposedly there was a desire to build up the island and fill it up quickly. Rangi had always been a bit of an outcast and standoffish towards strangers, so she built a two story single-family home away from the main island. It wasn't too close, not too far. Away from the prying eyes of governors and elders, providing a bit of a separation from the daily going ons of the village. It was never confirmed, but in the decades that followed the 270 BG separation, the rumor that Rangi built "the home at the edge of the forest" only grew larger. The decades and even centuries that followed continued to float this whisper, true or not, down the proverbial belief lane - until it was mostly accepted, as well as mostly forgotten.

The exterior is mostly brick, but the colors have faded with time. A low hanging lamp is outside the front door to provide light in the dark. The front door is nondescript and the front facing window sills are bright white. The windows form a triangle, with one on each side of the front door, and the last one directly above the door.

When one enters The House of the Lost Spirits, the stairs are in front of them almost immediately. There is a wall on the left side with some elbow-high cabinetry. There's a doorway to the right which opens into a small living room, with an L shaped couch sectioning the space off. Once someone enters the living room, to the left is the kitchen in the back. Upstairs there is a bathroom and the master bedroom, as well as a hallway that leads to the front-facing window, so the host can watch any guests approaching.

During the thick of the Hundred Years War, the 'home at the edge of the forest' came to be owned by a particularly eccentric Kyoshi Warrior. Her name was Ge Sha and she had a flair for the dramatic. She was born into a wealthy Earth Kingdom family, but Ge Sha needed 'attitude adjustment,' which was a high class way of explaining that she was an unbearable nightmare for her parents and they didn't have the patience nor resolve to nurture her to more healthy behaviors. She had luminous black hair and soft, violet eyes, an average height, and a little on the leaner side. She was sent away at the tender young age of 7 to learn discipline, in what was supposed to be a short stint.

After a rough patch to start her time, including a trip to Nokizo Island, Ge Sha was assigned to the secluded home as a punishment for nearly burning down her assigned place. She rebelled for many of the early years before finally settling down and coming to understand and appreciate the Warrior lifestyle. When given the choice of coming home, she chose instead to stay, finding her life on the island to be much more appealing than returning and making amends for her youthful transgressions. She developed a reputation for being amicable and a tremendous party planner. The best dance parties that Kyoshi Island has ever seen or ever will see were hosted by Ge Sha in the home at the edge of the forest.

Shortly after turning 15, when Ge Sha was finally ready to come home, in the days just before she was set to depart, her parents both passed away suddenly. She received the messenger hawk and learned simultaneously that she was the heir to the Ge name and fortune. Having lived only in the home at the edge of the forest on Kyoshi Island for more than half of her life, Ge Sha took her inheritance and bought the home outright. A Kyoshi Warrior suddenly flush with more coin than she could ever spend in a single lifetime now had the freedom to do whatever she wished to do with her life.

Ge Sha did exactly what you would expect a 15 year old girl to do: she blew it all on boys and partying. Her suarez became epic, her pai sho tournaments the thing of legend. She won a lot of coin on card games, but lost far more. After a while she took a lover and threw it all away for him. She abandoned the Kyoshi Warrior life, but kept the house at the edge of the forest. The townsfolk, Village Elders, the Leader of the local troupe, they all grew resentful, jealous, and hateful towards her. She was just a girl in her mid-20's who was free in ways they never could.

Once a proud and respected warrior, if not a fun-loving one, she was stripped of her marks, her uniform, and her standing. She left the island in shame. She and her man disappeared into the ether of the Earth Kingdom or the Southern Water Tribe. Many thought she was never to be heard or seen from again. A few years later though, she became a fugitive in the Earth Kingdom, for crimes unknown. Her and her beau returned to the house on Kyoshi Island, tail between their legs. Putting it mildly, it was scandalous.

Ge Sha was a mad woman in the house away from the mainland, having lived a wild and whirlwind life. When she died, the elders told their children and the youth of Kyoshi Island, as a parable of sorts to avoid similar life decisions, that the crazy woman could not escape the house, even after passing from this world. For years, they said she still haunted the place. Like she was a ghost that couldn't leave, and thus how it got its name.

Just over thirty years later, the House of the Lost Spirits, the home of a ghost, was reluctantly assigned to, and eventually purchased by, a woman who would later call herself a 'Ghost.'

Ty Lee of Caldera requested a secluded home when she became a Kyoshi Warrior. She wanted to be alone and wanted an easy way to escape if she ever decided she couldn't do it anymore. The village elders had advised Suki against assigning her to that home, giving cautionary tales that they remembered from their childhood and heard about throughout their own lives. Suki, being born 15 years after Ge Sha had died, was unmoved by these stories. She knew that Ty Lee wouldn't care either. So she assigned her to the home.

While Ty Lee was fighting Nations, Death, and the Avatars Family, followed by a lengthy stay in hiding at Honan Bay, The House of the Lost Spirits sat unused for 18 years, which is a very long time for any home, but in particular one that was subject to all four seasons and the salt air of the surrounding South Sea. No one on Kyoshi Island was interested in coming to repossess it for non-use. There had been talks amongst the leadership, publicly and privately, that the home could be used as an orphanage, or made into a historical site, or as a guest space for rent, or many other ideas. But its combined histories of a ghost and The Ghost had made everyone scared of what evils they would invite by disrupting its peace.

So now, as Ty Lee slips into view from the forest of Kyoshi Island for the first time since leaving for Lonlhai Village with Lin, she is overwhelmed with nostalgia and regret. The once brilliant and bright white window sills are practically dilapidated. The lamp directly above the door fell down amongst a particular windy day a few years ago. The roof is in bad shape but won't come down any time soon. The door is faded by the sunlight and lack of attention. There is overgrown vegetation that penetrates from every conceivable crevice around the home, bushes reaching high up around the outside. Finally, the once vibrant bricks that make up the exterior are all faded, almost beyond recognition. Like much of Ty Lee's life, the dereliction that is visible is probably better than the internal wounds.

"No time like the present." She mumbles to herself as she walks out through the overcast evening air and out towards a house that has lost its spirit.

Predictably the door was locked and boarded shut. The place where she kept a spare key was gone. The keys she had kept could not unlock the door. While no one wanted to take the home, the Ghost's place of residence did not avoid the scrutiny of the Earth Kingdom, Water Tribe, nor Fire Nation. So, taking a note out of Azula's book, she climbs the scaffolding to the second level where the bedroom is located.

Once upon a time, Azula had taken a great deal of pleasure out of sneaking in through the window and watching Ty Lee sleep. She was quite proud of herself for being able to do so without waking Ty Lee, something that put Ty Lee at unease. Now, as she reaches that same window she feels relieved as she finds the window unlocked - just as it has been for Azula all those times before. She pushes it open as the wind kicks up and rain threatens to come down.

She steps into the room and looks around at the cobwebs and dust that's settled over her whole life. As she wanders out of the room she finds the hallway much the same. She's so lost in her own world that it isn't until she's on the landing, just beyond the front door, that she realizes there's a light source coming from the kitchen. This shouldn't be possible. A light on in an abanonded home shouldn't be happening. She cautiously turns the corner into the living room and faces the kitchen.

"Hello, old friend," A specter greets her. "How longs it been?"

This is no ghost.

"Suki?"

The brunette smiles wickedly, legs crossed at her dust covered kitchen table, a bottle of plum wine and two glasses there as well, and smiles at her friend.

"Please sit down, we have much to discuss."

"But how did you even know I was coming?" The 61 year old Ty Lee asks with a laugh.

"Oh! Funny story. So," Suki sits up more straight. "Way back, like way back, Azula snuck into my house, this would've been before she went to Ba Sing Se and did that whole Akola stuff. And she told me, 'your perimeter defenses suck' and other crap like that."

"Sounds like the old her."

"So she said I should work on that and build it up, and so we did. It was one of my last acts as the village leader before I got ousted. Did you notice those high fences and the outposts up above the trees?"

"Yeah? I didn't really know what the deal was, but I thought I snuck around them?"

"Yeah, see, so that's where you're wrong. You got past the first one, but you got spotted by an interior one."

"Really!"

"Yep. I got wind of the relay before it made its way to the Leader and so I intercepted and decided to come meet you. I told the girls at Central that I would handle it. And I am."

Ty Lee sits across from a woman she hasn't seen in 13 years. Suki poured them each a glass of the plum wine and they kicked off catching up. After some awkwardness to start, they've started to hit their groove. Two women with a deep history, growing older now, but with well trained bodies that allow them to remain active and limber. The wine is flowing and they're smiling.

"The Leader? Lomin?"

"Oh Kyoshi, no. Lomin was relieved from her duties when the news about you and Azula broke."

"Oh my Yue."

"Eh. It was only bad because it was a disgraceful end to an otherwise stellar career."

"Oh, that's all?"

"It was time for Lomin to step down. The stress was a lot for her. She was one of the best Leaders we've ever had. Much better than her predecessor."

"You're funny."

"I'm serious. She was better than me, and it was the right time for her to retire. But she deserves to be remembered for more than being fired by the Avatar for hiding the Dragon Empress."

"But Lomin didn't really know, did she?"

"Kyoshi no. But it was plausible she could've asked more questions, and someone's head needed to roll since there was little they could do to me."

"So who's the new Leader?"

"Her name is Bashan. They went back to their roots and hired some young teenage girl. She's shown a ton of promise. It's nice, and easy to manipulate, but the Elders have been in her ear that I'm a bad influence so I had to earn her respect."

"What a bunch of shit. All the stuff we've done for this island and what did it get us? One of us in hiding, one of us begging for respect from some 15 year old girl."

"Excuse you, she's nineteen now."

Both women burst into a fit of laughter. In this old home, without the prying eyes of Kings, Avatars, and Fire Lords, they are only woman, and they are free. Ty Lee hasn't had this much fun in years, maybe since the day they left Lonlhai. Suki finds much to be thankful for in talking to one of her oldest friends. So much fun, she comes out of her laughter with an offer.

"You know, no one's been here looking for you two in 15 months. You could come back? Change your names again. I could even arrange for you to come back to this house. If you prefer, maybe retire to Nokizo? I would very much love to have you both in my life again."

Ty Lee sighs.

"I'm not so sure, Suki. If we return home, I'd want to come back as fully myself. Not just quietly slipping in through the window of my own home like this. I think she'd feel the same."

"How is she?"

"Not good. Truth be told, I hardly recognize her anymore."

"Oh?"

"She drinks too much. She sleeps all day, stays up all night. Never goes anywhere because of her paranoia. She's made loose acquaintances with the village Sheriff, who also frequents the pub. She's not taking care of herself, not bathing frequently, not eating enough. She's not the same."

"It's been many years, but does she know what happened? To Lonlhai?

"No. Yue no. I've made sure to hide that from her. It helps that she's a recluse, but I don't know what would happen if she did. She threatened Katara that she'd kill her if they didn't protect it. But I think at this point it would just break her to find out."

"Oh my. And I thought Lomin's punishment was severe. It seems that Katara truly did take everything from her."

"Well, maybe not everything."

"Mhm?"

"She's taken a ward recently. A young girl that she's been teaching fire bending to for a few months now."

"That seems risky for someone who has receded to the edges of the world?"

"She sees her younger self in the girl. And I'll be damned if that little brat isn't bringing her back from the brink."

"Have you considered… coming back without her?"

Ty Lee sighs again. She must confess.

"At first I would've punched your lights out for suggesting that. I nearly did to Lomin when I met her that day when the news first came out. But anymore? I'm tired of hiding. I just want her to be safe. I don't want some stranger to come and find her. Knock on her door. You know?"

"Hmm. Well, maybe I can help with keeping her safe."

"And how's that?"

"Well, for the last however many years I've been collecting and opening your mail."

"That's generous. And I presume there's something of value in all of that?"

Suki wears a wicked smile again and replies, "You might say so."

The two friends continue catching up and chatting for a while, plotting for next steps to help Azula further return from the edge of darkness. This goes on for several hours before finally Ty Lee must start on her return trip up to Honan Bay. It's only several hours by foot, maybe a day at most. Nonetheless, she leaves energized and excited about next steps.

Something that neither Ty Lee nor Suki knows is why Ge Sha was believed to have become a ghost. The locals called it The House of the Lost Spirits because she was killed by her lover in a fit of violent rage at the age of 28. If not for her spouse's murder, Ge Sha would've been 58 when Ty Lee came to Kyoshi Island, slightly younger than Ty Lee is right now. She might've been able to consult the youthful gender betrayer and advised her against getting into bed with someone with a violent streak. Perhaps they would've found solace in each other and been friends.

The world will never know because Ge Sha could not survive the wrath of her lover.

"I see." Sayaka nods in understanding at long last.

"That's why you have to change your motivation. You need to come from a different place."

"I understand. Thank you, Sifu 'Suko." The 13 year old girl bows her head with hair blacker than midnight.

The two firebenders are sitting together in a makeshift practice area that Azula had cobbled together for them outside her home among the trees. It's the early afternoon and the sun is keeping the winter bite of the Earth Kingdom at bay. They've been at it for hours and Sifu Yasuko has just finished parlaying her most important lesson yet. At that exact moment a branch nearby cracks, disrupting the quiet. Both sifu and student look up to see a woman with graying hairs and gray eyes step through the brush and into view. The other Sister of the Forest smiles and waves to them, ever an image of grace.

"Hello, you two! I hope I'm not interrupting?"

"No! We're finished and I'm leaving now!"

"Wha-? We still have much to do!" Yasuko protests.

"No, I should get going. Last time we pushed it and then I was late for dinner."

"Now, now!" Ty Lee steps up and opens her arms. Sayaka rushed up to her and falls into the older Sister's arms. The tuft of black hair sticks out among Ty Lee's bosom as she wraps her arms around the teenager. Sayaka clings tightly to Ty Lee, who says, "My sweet Saya' you can stay as long as you like."

While Sayaka would love to continue training with her Sifu she must insist, "I should go back. Father always has such a short temper when I'm running late to dinner."

Ty Lee squeezes her extra tight.

"Oh alright. You get out of here, but come back soon, okay!"

The young teenager bounces off and leaves the old wives alone together. Azula watches the girl disappear from view, but can't bring her eyes to look up at her wife. Her eyes remain down and away for a few moments, while the brunette looks directly at her, waiting for the eye contact to be returned. After a long enough pause, Azula stands and walks towards her. She doesn't greet her, hug her, or pause. She strides past Ty Lee and walks right through the front door.

When Ty Lee is certain she's beyond earshot she mumbles to herself, "Good to see you too, babe. Missed you too. Yeah, the weather was crap coming back, but I'm so happy to be home."

Ty Lee turns around and follows Azula into the house. They own a cozy cottage, hidden amongst the forest. It's made entirely of wood, with white and red trims. There are windows on the side of the home, and a second floor. The home is so old and remote that electricity was never installed as an upgrade, so they use candles for all lighting. Hidden among the trees there isn't much natural light.

The house is by far the messiest of anywhere the two have lived together, albeit for different reasons than ever before. This home, especially with Ty Lee being gone for a couple of days, is littered with cactus juice and sorghum liquor bottles. There's even a few spare plum wine bottles lying around. Things are disheveled and disorderly, with excessive dishes building up at the sink, the bed unmade, the living room in disarray. Unfortunately it feels indicative of their lives at this stage.

Ty Lee had once hoped to put out her box of mementos from Lomin, but with each passing day that she didn't pull them out, it became harder. Eventually, the idea of decorating became too frivolous to consider. After enough time passed, the box simply disappeared into the chaos of the home, and Ty Lee wasn't sure what she did with it exactly. Now as she walks through the home, her wife not speaking to her, having just come from such a revitalizing conversation with Suki, she is flush with sadness. The thought of the young firebender who just departed at least feels like a starting point to get her wife talking. Azula opens a bottle of cactus juice and sits down at the kitchen table to drink. Ty Lee leans against the door, arms crossed, and speaks from the heart.

"You know, I had hoped, once upon a time, that we could adopt that Sayaka girl, or a child like her anyway."

Azula finally raises her eyes to meet Ty Lee, but she still doesn't say anything. Azula tries to imagine a world where she's happy and life is good. It seems impossible.

"It's like you used to say, the Dragon Empress will always be a friend to those in need. So maybe we still can? We're old, but there's orphans all over the world that need good homes. We could do that. We could give it to them."

Azula finally replies, "We're not meant for happy lives with happy endings."

"You still think that? Honestly, Azula? You do?"

She doesn't reply, instead choosing to take a swig from her cactus juice.

"Don't you think helping Sayaka could be your last good deed? Helping this poor girl avoid the same fate that you and Zirin faced? There has to be an end to it. Can't this be the thing to finally push the scales to balance?"

"No, Ty. No," she replies between swigs. "There isn't anything that could ever make it balanced. I'm never going to be seen or remembered as anything other than who I was when I was younger."

The mood has become tense now as Azula yells at her wife.

"If being the Guardian wasn't enough? All of my power to save and reshape a village I had no need to? Then nothing ever will be."

"Why does this matter? Why does it matter what they think? What they see?"

"Because, Ty. That's how this whole fucking thing started. A legacy in my name. A legend to be remembered by. If I'm not remembered for the good I did, then it was for nothing."

Ty Lee shakes her head. She clearly sees the reasoning and the motivation, but nonetheless she can't agree with it. She can't concede, thereby allowing Azula to feel validated, and thus sink further into her depression. She reaches into her pocket and procures an opened envelope.

"Well, maybe this can help."

"What's that?"

"It's from the Cabbage Corporation. They've been trying to reach you, reach us, since we were uncovered."

"What the fuck do they want?"

"Well apparently you saved their business back when they started. They were going to go under and you invested and saved them — for a huge piece of the pie."

"I don't recall this whatsoever."

"Of course you don't," Ty Lee grumbles. "But they're now the most lucrative company in the world. And they owe you! Think of all the good you could do!"

She shakes her head.

"I don't want it. Tear that up."

"You think that'll matter? Even if you used your blue fire to burn it up, guess what? There's dozens of more letters back on Kyoshi, waiting for you," she puts the letter down on the table emphatically. "You don't want this now, but a day may come when you decide you do want it."

With force, Azula chucks her bottle of cactus juice across the room. It crashes into the wall, shattering, spilling liquid all over the place.

"What the fuck!" Ty Lee shouts as Azula stands and strides away. "Why are you so scared to leave and go back home?"

"I'm not!" Azula wheels on her, turning back and stumbling towards her. "I'm not scared to leave! I'm scared of what I'd do to them if I did! I'm scared that everyone will end up just like Meng Shou, Tapisa, and everyone fucking else at Lonlhai."

"Wh-What do you mean? What do you mean?"

Azula scoffs and rolls her eyes as she walks away again.

"You really think I don't know? It's, what? It's been 7 years, Ty? And you think I didn't find out?"

Ty Lee finally takes a seat, as a new reality dawns on her. Azula continues to rail onward.

"They died. They're all dead. And I wasn't there to stop them. No one was. It's because of me," she breaks down into angry sobs across the room from Ty Lee. "I am the thing that brings it all together."

Ty Lee wants to comfort her, but she can't move from her spot. There's an invisible force weighing her down.

"You didn't burn those people."

"I did. Maybe it wasn't by my hands, but it was because of me. Because I was there. Because the world found out it was my island. My home. And I don't know if it was Xai Bau, Yakone, the Fifth Nation, Koh, the Death spirit, or fucking Zirin!"

"Zirin's been in the ground forever." Ty Lee fails to interrupt.

"Or maybe it was just a random army of fire benders who wanted to watch the world burn? But no matter how you slice it — if I had stayed, I could've saved them. Because everyone knew I was gone, it was targeted. All those lives? They're on me. They're dead because of me."

Ty Lee finally pushes up out of her seat and walks towards her.

"Azula. You're delusional, and drunk, and an alcoholic, and you need rest, and to grieve, and-"

Azula creates more space between them.

"NO! I see more clearly than ever before. It's exactly like I thought in Lonlhai. Everything I touch burns."

"What?" She asks, turning her head to the side.

"Everything I touch turns to ash, Ty Lee! I'm an Ashmaker. And I don't want you to turn to ash. Because if you stay around long enough, it will happen. I'll burn you too."

"What are you saying? You're so entangled in this fucking dark cloud over you that you don't even know which way is out anymore! Let me help you!"

Little wisps of blue fire escape Azula's mouth as she shouts, turning her face away.

"NO! No! You need to be free from me. I need to run out of your life so I, so I…"

"What is wrong with you!" Ty Lee shouts, angry tears in her eyes, closing the distance between them.

Azula whips around and rushes to be up in her face.

"Every day I wake up and I hope that I die!"

There are furious tears. Her voice nearly breaks as she says the words, yet they are so full of conviction and authenticity that it is disarming to Ty Lee. She audibly gasps in Azula's face as she hears the words escape from her and realizes that she means each of them. Despite her inebriation, Azula is crystal clear. Her drunken words speak sober thoughts. She points at Ty Lee to emphasize.

"Dead like, if I could guarantee that you'd be okay, then I'd wish I'd get an illness, or that my own lightning would kill me. If I could disappear into a hole and you'd never have to think about me again or worry about me, I would do it. I can't kill myself, because that's now how I want to die, and I know it's not what you would want. But if something just happened, if something went wrong, you could be free."

Ty Lee doesn't say anything, too stunned by what was said. Her hand covers her mouth in complete shock as Azula covers her face and her tears.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry!" She yells, but keeps her head in her hands and refuses to look up. She falls to her knees as she yells into her hands, "Fuck! Fuck!"

"I-I don't know what to say, Azula?"

"Kill me!" She cries out. "Please, just do it!"

"No! I can't do that. I won't."

"Fuck you, Ty Lee. Please kill me!"

Azula, head bowed, hiding her face, anguish in her voice, comes crawling up to Ty Lee and grabs her leg and hips. She begs her, "Please!"

"No." She repeats, stepping away so Azula can't grab her. "I could never."

Ty Lee feels all at once that it's too much for her. She is short of breath and stunned by all of the things Azula has said. She wonders how long she's thought about these things. She wants to help to chase away the pain, but she needs air. She needs fresh air. She turns away from Azula and walks towards the door. She turns her back and that's all Azula needs to act on impulse.

Ty Lee pushes the door open and as it creaks she hears a rustle and the quickness of steps. Azula ignites her fists into blue flames and runs across the room at her wife. Ty Lee turns around and watches Azula closing the distance, her right fist cocked back to slug her with a fire that would burn her face instantly.

Ty Lee does what Ge Sha could not - she survives the wrath of her lover.

Acting on instinct alone, Ty Lee swings her arms up and bats the fist away. She follows it up with another that knocks the other hand away. She swiftly delivers a blow to Azula's arm, one near each elbow, followed quickly by another to each arm closer to the shoulder. Finally, her hands acting on their own before she can stop herself, she punches the woman in the face.

"UGH!" As she falls to her knees.

"Azula!" Ty Lee reaches down and grips her shoulders, leaning down to try to get a look at her. "Oh Yue, oh no. I'm sorry! Are you hurt?"

Azula looks up at her with water specks and shining hope in her eyes. She can't move her arms, so she looks straight up at her. A touch of the sun slips between them through the open door and spreads across her face, along with a wicked and devilish smile.

"Yes. Do it." She nods, hysterical and excited. "You once said that we'd kill each other before we reached old age. So do it. Kill me."

Ty Lee steps back from her, out of the home, and into the light. The way the sun breaks through the trees, her shadow looms over the woman kneeling before her. Azula is completely encased by the darkness, the sunlight unable to reach her. Her once sharp golden eyes have dulled. Her clothes are ragged and dirty. Her hair has traces of grey finally setting in. The mighty warrior without a battlefield had found a new one in her mind, and a worthy opponent to wrestle with everyday. Ty Lee had been present the entire time, but she never saw it. Too scared to say the words and try to heal her wife's deepest wounds. Now she gapes down at a defeated woman, physically and mentally.

"Kill me, Ty Lee." She begs her.

She shakes her head down at the woman before her. The grey eyed girl with hair growing grey suffers a broken heart.

"I need some space. We need some space."

"No. No no no, please!"

"I'm going back to Kyoshi Island-"

"No! Ty Lee!" Azula can do nothing to protest because she is chiblocked and kneeling.

"-and I'll be back in a couple of days. I promise."

"Come back! Come back! COME BACK!"

Ty Lee turns and steps away. Azula continues to call to her, and she pauses. She considers turning back and going to her wife. Enveloping her wife into her arms. Holding her. Loving her. All the things she's tried to do for the last 7 years. None of it has worked. She knows if she even turns around, she will succumb to her love for the woman. She will not be able to resist the urge to protect and adore. She waits another moment as Azula moans and cries. She can not turn back.

Ty Lee leaves Azula behind.
