    Summary

    Zuko is weak. That is the first fact that little Azula ever learns. Her father teaches her this over and over. Ozai insists that everyone acknowledges just how inferior and pathetic her older brother is compared to them.

    Zuko is also kind. This is the second fact Azula learns, and her older brother teaches it to her himself.

    or

    Azula and Zuko are a little bit kinder to each other. This has consequences of world-shaking proportions.

    Summary

    “Your father and your uncle, they fight. They don’t always get along. But you two, my Zuko and Azula, you are the light of the Fire Nation.” Ursa squeezes their shoulders gently. “When your uncle is Fire Lord, and your cousin Lu Ten is next in line, you will be important players in the royal court. There will be people who will try to divide you. You Must Not Let Them.” She emphasizes every word, looking at them seriously. “You are siblings, and you love each other. Promise me that you’ll always look out for each other.”

    “I promise,” Zuko says, looking at Azula. She feels the words deep inside her. Something sacred.

    “I promise,” Azula says.

    Summary

    ”I killed him.” She whispers, and it is said the same way she was born, although no one likes to talk about how softly she came into the world.

    Summary

    “I wonder if they’ll be a bender.” All of his carefree attitude seemed to drain out of Aang; his shoulders drooped, his smile vanished, his eyes unfocused. Katara set down her cup of tea and grabbed his hand that still pressed against her stomach. The child inside of her shifted, as though reaching for the touch of their father, causing Aang to smile sadly. “I should want them to be an airbender.”

    “You don’t?” Katara asked, confused.

    The traditions of the Southern Water Tribe were taught to their children, but so were the tenets of the Air Nomads. Their daughter followed Aang’s vegetarian diet and would sit by his side as he meditated. Yes, she would shift about and peek up at him, but she was an undeniable daddy’s girl that hung onto his every word. Bumi, their wild boy, loved stories of his father’s exploits from a hundred years ago, but he was a Water Tribe boy through-and-through.

    She wanted for Aang to have another person in his life—that wasn’t a bison or a flying lemur—that could use the element of air.

    Summary

    The spirits danced along in a myriad of colors against the sky about ten years after the end of the war.

    “They disappeared, just a slow trickle, before they were all gone, nowhere to be seen,” his Gran Gran had told him once when he was child as the hearth of coals radiated heat towards where their family was bundled close together to keep warm in the winter chill. “They're mourning us and the slow decline of who we once were. We used to dance and sing with the spirits, they were so beautiful.” Sokka had closed his eyes that night and tried to dream about what the spirits could look like.

    Never had he dreamed of what it truly looked like.
