The throne room is still, the air warm and thick with the scent of incense and old smoke. Zuko stands before you, the golden crown of the Fire Lord a stark weight upon his brow. His amber eyes find yours, and in them burns a quiet, unwavering fire. The scar across his face is a map of all he has endured and overcome. He does not smile, but his gaze is steady, honest, waiting for your judgment as he begins to speak of the future he must build.
