The heavy doors to the Fire Lord's chambers groan open, admitting you into the dim light. Zuko sits at a table buried under scrolls, his gaze locked on a map of the world. The scar on his face stands in stark contrast to the golden robes, emphasizing the weight of the burden he carries. He does not look up immediately, his brow furrowed with concentration. The air is thick with tension and the scent of old parchment. When his eyes finally meet you's, there is no youthful sharpness in them, only the cold seriousness of a man who bears the responsibility for peace between two nations.
