Chapter 5 - Prologue Part 5.

Hopefully this is the 3rd last one.

I wasn't long in the kitchen. I was just about 30 minutes there. When one of the male guards came in.

"Miss (Y/N). Fire lord Azulon is requesting an audience with you and you alone." He said. I just nodded my head and followed him out the kitchen, to where fire lord Azulon was at, which turned out to be his sleeping chamber.

When I got there, he was sitting on his bed, already in his normal clothing. "Fire lord Azulon. Here is miss (Y/N). As you ordered." The male guard said. "Yes, yes. You may take you leave now." Azulon looked at the male guard, dismissing him. The male guard bowed and left the room.

"You summoned me, fire lord Azulon." I said, getting his attention. "Ah, yes. (Y/N) I need to speak to you about something important. Come sit here." He patted the spot next to him.

I did what I was told. "Do you know that my youngest son Ozai, had asked to have an audience with me today." He asked.

"I was with Zuko and Azula when their mom came to fetch them." I replied. "Why?" I asked. "He wants me to betray my first born, his oldest brother, just because his only son is dead." When he said that, I looked down at my hands, feeling my heart break all over again.

"I know that my son Iroh adopted you and made you his daughter, his next heir if something happens to Lu Ten. May his soul rest in peace." I looked up at him, shocked. "And I'm glad he did. But I do have a question though?" He asked.

"Yes, sure." I tried to relax, but only succeeding a little bit. "Does Ozai know that his brother adopted you?" He asked, looking into my (E/C) eyes.

"No I don't think so." I said. "Good, keep it that way. If he finds out, he'd properly have you killed as well." He turned his head and looked towards the doorway. "Why?" My eyes open wide in fear.

"Because you are next in line for the throne, even though you are not blood related. But when I met you years ago, I could sense you are a very strong bender." He looked back at me, his gold eyes staring right into my (E/C) eyes.

'I won't be surprise if it was him who got onii-sama killed in the war. Hold on what.' I thought. "I'm not a bender at all." I peeled my eyes away from his, and landed my hands.

"Don't you know what you are?" He asked. I looked back at him. "What do you mean?" I asked. "You and the Avatar, can't end this war alone, but together you can do almost anything." He continued.

"My dad once told me about a girl who was more or less like you. She also had birth marks next to her eyes, but hers was fire symbols, not air." He smiled a bit.

"I would like this war to end soon. Because it went on long enough, and we all lost a lot of family members." He said.

"Why can't you? You are the fire lord, are you not?" I asked him. "Yes but, if I do, then they will disappointed in me. I'd rather leave it to you and the Avatar, to end this war." He said.

"But aren't you mad that Iroh adopted me?" I asked, changing the subject as quick as possible.

"No, I'm not. He came to me, letting me know that you are here, and to get my blessing to adopt you, which I gave my full blessing." He said.

"You said that the Avatar and I can end this war together. Who am I exactly?" I asked hoping he will tell me.

"It's best for you not to know now. For if you know, your life will be in danger." His voice held a bit of concern in it.

"Okay, I understand." I nodded at him. A bit down that he won't tell me, but if my life was at risk, I wasn't going to push him for the info.

"And take my advice. Get some make up and hide your birth marks, for some people knows those marks, they might try and hurt you." He pointed to both of my birth marks.

I just nodded, understanding only a little. 'My birth marks will bring me either pain or death.' I thought.

"You may go now. I need to write a letter for my son Iroh." I stood up and bow to him. "Take care fire lord Azulon." I said. "I will. And you too little S.A." He said getting up as well.

I left the room, to do my job as Zuko's personal servant. 'Why did he call me little S.A.' The thought went through my mind as I walk down the passages.

Time skip brought you by Ursa, Zuko's and Azula's mother.

It is late at night now, and I'm struggling to fall asleep. I'm just thinking of what fire lord Azulon said to me, there is right now a horrible thunder storm outside, and on top of that, Kat my doll is missing. I miss her, both my Kat doll and my best friend Kat.

'I wonder how she and her brother are doing right now.' I thought of them. My thoughts got interrupted, as my door opened up. I sat up to see who it is, my eyes went wide when I saw the person in front of me. It is Ursa, Zuko's mom, who came into my room. She came over to my bed and sat on it.

"Why aren't you asleep (Y/N)." She asked me. "I'm struggling to fall asleep." I answered her, as I started to rub my one eye with the back of my hand, all of the sudden getting a little sleepy. 'Weird, I wasn't sleepy a minute ago.' I thought.

"Can you do me a small favour." Zuko's mom asked politely. "Sure. What would you like me to do for you, mam." I said as I struggle to not to yawn, because its rude to yawn in someone else's face.

"To please watch over Zuko for me and to make sure he doesn't change." She said as I got even more drowsy as if my body is forcing me to sleep.

"What do you mean? Where are you going?" My eyes became heavy and droopy. "That's doesn't matter right now." She said as she grabbed onto my shoulders and gently made me lay down.

"Please do this for me." She asked as she covers me up with my blanket. I just nodded my head as I am now to sleepy to speak. "Thank you (Y/N)." Was all I heard before darkness took over.

Time skip brought you by Fire Lord Azulon. The next day early in the morning.

As I slowly woke up, Ursa's face, voice and words kept playing in my mind. 'Why did she ask me to watch over Zuko. Maybe I should go and ask her?' I thought as I got up and dressed very quickly.

I left my room and ran, in search of Zuko's mom Ursa. I've been searching for a few minutes later with no luck. I stopped in my track to look around.

*Pitter, patter.* I hear someone running and they are coming this way. I panicked a little as I hid behind one of the pillars. It was silent for just a few seconds.

"Where's mom?" Zuko asked. 'Who is he talking to, I hope not me.' As I was about to answer him, when someone else beats me to the punch.

"No one knows." It's Azula. "Oh and last night, grandpa past away." Azula said. 'How is that possible. He was healthy when I saw him just yesterday.' I peeked around the pillar to see what is going on.

"Not funny Azula. You're sick. And I want my knife back. Now." Zuko walked forward to try and grab his knife away from Azula, but she was just too fast, as she dodged him.

But now she stands almost right in front of my hiding place. She is dangling the knife in between her two fingers, very easy to take from her. Seeing that she didn't notice me, I walked out from where I was hiding.

"And who's going to make me, mom?" When mom slipped out of her mouth I snatched the knife from her hand.

"No. But I'll take this. Thank you." I walked around her and walked up to Zuko and gave his knife back to him. "Thanks (Y/N)." Zuko smiles as he took the knife gently out of my hands.

"You're welcome." I turned to face Azula. "Don't you know the rules of 'don't touch or take what isn't yours?" I asked her.

"Nope." Azula said while she puts her hand in her shirt. "Not at all. But look what I have here." She pulled something out of her shirt. My eyes went big when I saw Kat in her hand.

"What are you with her? Give her back to me." I tried to grab my doll, but she just dodge me, just like Zuko, and got far away from me.

"Nope." With that she set Kat on fire, burning her to ashes. My blood started boiling as I started to see red. I just took a step forward, when all of a sudden I was been pulled away, by Zuko.

And once we were both out of sight, we stopped. Not letting go of my wrist he turns to face me.

"You mustn't let Azula get to you. I don't want to see you get hurt. Please." He plead. "Ok. I'll try harder." I said, looking down a little. "Good." I looked up and looked at him.

With that he turned away and started dragging me. We went outside and saw his dad there. We stopped just a few meters/feet away from him.

"Where is she." Zuko asked him, but he said absolutely nothing. He just stood there, staring off into outer space.

Time skip. Funeral.

I'm standing on the platform, near to Zuko and Azula, to make sure they stay safe. Tears slowly creeping out my eyes.

I'm struggling to come to terms that fire lord Azulon had accepted me as hid granddaughter and the next heir, but now he is gone. I won't be surprised at all that both him and onii-sama Lu Ten was murdered.

There is a lot of people attending for fire lord Azulon 's funeral. One of his advisers spoke on his behalf.

"Azulon, fire lord to our nation for twenty-three years. You were our fearless leader in the battle of Garsai. Our matchless conqueror of the Hu Xin Provinces. You were father of Iroh, father of Ozai. Husband of Ilah, now past. Grandfather of Lu Ten, now past. Grandfather of Zuko and Azula." He said

I let out a mental sigh of relief when they didn't read my name out loud.

He continued. "We lay you to rest, as was your dying wish. You are now succeed by your second son." He said as he placed the crest crown in Ozai hair.

'I know that wasn't his dying wish, but he knew that I'm not ready now, since I'm only seven years old. But I know one day I have to step up and take my place on throne. I just hope by then I am ready for it.' I thought to myself.

"Hail fire lord Ozai." He said as now fire lord Ozai wed to him. I just bowed my head down slightly to not look suspicious. I didn't want to draw unnecessary attention to myself.
