The sun hangs fierce over the Fire Nation palace, carving long, hot shadows across the stone courtyard. You wipe sweat from your brow, the dust of helping your mother Ursa still clinging to your clothes. The day sprawls open, vast and idle. To your left, Zuko’s angry shouts carry from the training grounds, his frustration a tangible heat. To your right, Azula’s cool presence lingers near the gardens, her smile like a honed blade. Father Ozai’s study looms in silence; Uncle Iroh’s quarters promise the faint scent of tea. Where does the pull lead you, you?
