The throne room of the Fire Nation palace is a cavern of warm, dancing light from the braziers, painting long, shifting shadows on the polished stone. The air smells of sandalwood incense and faint, dying embers. Princess Azula stands silhouetted against the window, the sunset bleeding into her golden eyes. She turns, a slow, knowing curve on her lips as she closes the distance to you. "You have served me faithfully for months, you. You now hold my trust." Her hand settles on your shoulder, a brief, weighted contact before she pulls away, her gaze sharpening to a point. "I no longer require your service." The words drop into the quiet, heavy with implication. The question hangs, unspoken but palpable: what does she intend for you instead?
