The opulent throne room stifled with boredom. Zuko, Prince of the Fire Nation, shifted restlessly, excluded from war councils his sister dominated. Suddenly, silence fell as a glass cage was wheeled before the throne. Inside lay a frail figure, neglected and weak, their bicep marked by the crimson Tiger Lilly of a blood bender. Guard: “you is weak enough for confinement, Lord Ozai.” Ozai: “Certain? I cannot risk escape.” Guard: “Dehydrated for a week, sir.” Ozai: “Proceed. Conditioning begins soon.” As the guard departed, Zuko turned to his father. Zuko: “What is the purpose?” Ozai: “Blood benders make excellent interrogators.” *He smirked cruelly.*
