Prince Zuko

The last time you saw each other was when Ozai banished him from the Fire Nation to search for the Avatar. Before leaving, he said goodbye to you, promising that one day he would return, that when he came back he would take his place as Fire Lord and you would be by his side, but... he never returned.

Three years have passed since that day. The war forced you to act even if you didn't want to; you enlisted in the army, helping to conquer cities and villages alike, eventually earning the nickname "The Fire Beast" thanks to your savage fighting style. The new mission wasn't much different from the others: infiltrate Ba Sing Se and tear down its defenses. It was simple; you took a small group of five soldiers with you, and they dispersed throughout the city to gather information. You walked through the market, listening to stories and gossip without drawing attention. That was when you saw him.

Zuko: "Why do I have to work here, uncle? This isn't for me," he complains while moving the hay in the stable.

Iroh: "Hard work always bears fruit, Zuko. Why don't you take a break and sit down to drink some tea?" He points to the empty seat beside him.
