first draft of backstory plot points

Sozen looses Rokku to and incident in the ///// air temple and reflexivity blames the air nomads as a whole in his grief.

The two were dancing around each other but any chance for them dissipated into ash when Rokku found out Sozen was militarizing the fire nation in an effort to combine the nations under his own rule and the two fought bitterly.

Rokku leaves for the /// air temple that day on a ship leaving his dragon with Sozen’s{the dragons were a mated pair} thus leaving a sliver of a chance for the two in Sozen’s mind.

This hope is dashed when Rokku dies in an accident two days after leaving Sozen.

As Sozen is planning how he will react to this development his body go's weak and his mind go's numb and fuzzy [like it was just before and during the fight he had with Rokku].

Then Sozen vanishes from the public view for a week

[the public worry that the grief will best him]

[no one is allowed into the throne room as Sozen doesn't want them to see that the rooms cold blue fire (a sign of Agnis approval) had gone out the night Sozen found out about Rokku’s death

During this week Sozen hires 4,000 disgraced/banished Dai Le assassins (loyal only to coin) and begins sending them out to poision the dragons withen the borders of the fire nation[Sozen’s die first and Rokku’s is sent into a coma]{90% of ALL dragons live withen the borders of the fire nation}

withen two months of Rokku’s death the last dragon withen the nation is rokkus

Rokku’s dragon is extremely weak and when the public go’s to the palace for help they find Sozen cradling the dragons head in his lap. The dragon is weak ans has shrunk drastically and is barely breathing. The public is shocked to find the Sozen’s dragon is dead and that a second ROYAL dragon is dying and quickly realize that the fire lord can do nothing for his own dragon much less theirs or the wild ones and are left to watch as to their horror the last dragon within the borders of the fire nation takes its last breath.

Sozen PERSONALLY and PUBLICLY cremates the dragon and sits vigil for a WEEK.

SOMETHING UNHEARD OF FROM A FIRE LORD AS ITS USUALLY ONLY ONE DAY AND DONE BY THE SUN PRIESTS AS ITS SEEN AS BENEATH THE ROYAL FAMILY TO NEAL IN THE DIRT{REQUIRED FOR SITTING VIGIL}.

Then Sozen disapears into the palace

The next day the outer wall of the throne room is pulled away revealing Sozen sitting on the throne behind a wall of HOT RED fire.

Agnis is blue and cold but the public assumes that the color and heat show Agnis rage over the loss of his favorite children {the dragons} [the public dosnt know that there are dragons out side the fire nation as they are tied to the ]]]]]]]] air nomads and a deeply gaurded secret]

then Sozen adresses the public

{royals, nobls, ambassadors, state oficials, city officials, colony representitives, tribal leaders, and as many citizens that can fit in the streets are in attendence}

[the sun priests are blatently missing comething that makes EVERYONE uncomfertable but no one dares mention or question it]

Sozen then addresses those in attendenceand explains that:

the air nomad had killed rokku so that they could gain an avatar of their own and use them to gain control

however when the child was awoken they remembered their life as rokku and refused to do as he was told

the child tried to escape the air nomads and was beaten chained and locked away {the poor child barley knew air bending how could he defen himself}

the air nomads in their rage hired assassins and sent them after the dragons to further weaken the nation that JUST lost rokku

Those gathered are so enraged by the loss of rokku and the dragons that they believe it desperate for an enemy to fight

Those gathered begin to demand the air nomads be punnished and that sozen save the young avatar as rokku could not do so

Sozen ‘bows to what his people want’ and declares war on the ///// air nomads

first he bannishes the ambassadors from the nation.

The earth and water ambassadors leve without incident not beleiving sozen’s claims or that he will ACTUALLY rage war on the momads and actually forget about the declaration and the reasons before they get home, to focussed on how to save the internation trading

the air nomad ambassadors dont even make it out of the nation

the official story is that they escaped their gaurds and ran to the tratoris sun priests and they were all dead of suicide when the gaurds caught up

the air nomad ambassadors were poisioned by their dai le gaurds

the sun priests were killed by more dai le as they would have known what the throne rooms fire color and heat meant{that the fire lord had lost agnis blessing}

four months later sozen personally escorts the 2,000 of his ‘most suited’ men{most creul} soldiers out of the fire nation (4,000 dai le meet them once their out of sight {sozen wants it to be believed that only 2,000 men and himself were needed as they had agnis blessing}) and they arive to the //// air temple two days later

on arriving the 6,000 men and women loyal to sozen immeadiatly put every man woman and child to death save for two individuals

salah {a 17 year old female airbender} and aang {a 12 year old male avatar}

aang ~12~ had ran away the night before

sozen takes salah~12~ captive {using dai le drugs to keep herblocked from her bending}

on the ship back all 4,000 dai le die when sozens men poison their food their bodies are dumped overboard

sozen and the 2,000 soldiers arrive home and go to the palace{salah~12~ is put in a locked roome eight floors underneath sozens personal rooms}

sozen calls another meeting

the royals, nobles, state officials, city officials, colony representatives, tribal leaders, and as many citizens that can fit arrive withen hours

sozen breaks the news that the child avatar wasnt at the temple and that he is either dead or at another temple and swaers to find the trueth before making a hand motion and the palace servents bring out a feast fit for the fire lord himself {identical meals and leters covering the speachare sent to every single citizen who could not arrive}

he stays until the feast ends and sends everyone home

then sozen uses dai le tactics {drug mix and lights}to convince salah~17~ that:

she is a fire nation native

that she and sozen have a history of close freindship

that the air nomads tortured for being born in the fire nation and daring to come to them for training

that sozen had found and rescued her when he came looking for the avatar

the sozen moves her to the room next to his own and warns her that with the anger the fire nation has against the air nomads that she should hide her bending, she agrees.

Then he continues his war and at night he invites her to sit with him as he handles ‘nation buissness’ {food, territory lines, trade routes, ect} and begins to court her

she agrees to marry him after he asks her to do so {he claims he hopes itll help keep her safe from fire nation and air nation alike}

shes given the tyitle of royal concubine instead of fire lady to keep the fire nation nobles from complaining to much

the night of their wedding;

sozen sires a child with salah~17~ {a boy who will be born 7 moths later in the middle of a monsoon and be named Azulon}

a battalion of 4,000 man and women are sent out in secret to the ]]]]]] air temple to wipe out those air nomads

however this batallion betrays sozen and jointhe air nomads

They send letters to the other nation telling them of the air temple attacks {a fire nation scout intercepts them and reads the one ment for the southern water tribe and alerts sozen early the next morning

sozen tells the scout to wait until he is given word to send the letters to their intended recipients and settles in to wait

two months later the painted ladies comet comes into range and sozen chanels it to single handidly wipe out every man woman and child in the ]]]]]]] air temple {fire benders air benders and non benders alike}

unlike all of her other channelers the painted lady does not allow sozen to take her marks {she couldnt stop him from using her comets power}

five moths later salah~17~ gives birth to azulon but tragically dies and takes sozens unborn daughter azulons sister with her.

In his pain and rage {he had fallen in ‘love’ with salah} sozen raises azulon to hate anyone not firenation

oddly as azulon grows in size and strength sozens rage fades and just after azulon turns 19 sozens mind clears fully for the first time in years.

He is DISGUSTED with his actions and confused as to how he could have done such things.

He is terrerfied of the implications of his actions being SO disconnected from his mind and ideals.

He pretends he is stil under the influence of WHATEVER that was and in private he begins to research.

He finds that some sun preists had avoided the massacre and were nearby

he goes into the throne room and tells everyone hes going to commune with agni for guidence{the fire is still red agni must still be angry and he needs to know whats wrong} and forbids enyone from even aproaching that wing of the palace [sending azulon into town to meet a trade delegation from the colonies {to teach him to care for his citizens} hell be gone for weeks]

then he secrets himself away and meets with the preists who examine him and find out that tttttt,

{agnis enemy a mortal who had consumed vvvvv’s [tu/seas/ siter goddess of lightning and is agnis wife] mortal form and stole her abilities locking her mind into a stone he hid in the south pole. Ttttttt had died but managed to evade agni in the spirit realm for centuries [that time had twisted what was left of his sanity]}

had possesed him as a teen and had slowly gained control and then after rokkus death full control

then tttt had used sozen to capture salah and combined their blood to form a proper host

however he could only plant the seed he couldnt posess the babe until it took its first breath and he couldnt further influence the pregnancy to busy pulling his sozen puppets strings and thus couldnt stop vvvv from creating her own human host

he could however ensure that host never took a breath thus destoying vvvvs ability to do so {she can still bless a child but she can do little more then that and ttttt/azulon still controls her element [though the element itself fights back the lightning burning him when he forces it to obey him] much to her rage}

salah was a decendent of tttt/azulons origional human body and sozen had power

ttt/azulon also used sozen:

to destroy the strong skilled battle tested avatar {hopeingto stael the avatar spark from the next avater {an untrained weak child} much like he did to vvvv

and to destroy agnis blessed people{the fire nation} by turning the other nations against them

with ttttt/azulon in human form and 19 and strong and a gigantic threat sozen is advised to take precautions before going against him in a fight by the sun priests

first he writes ALL of this down and locks the scrolls into a smal chest that only one with agnis aproval {lightning and blue fire or duel bending of fire and water} can open [the chest will at a touch tell them how to open it]

luckily tttt/azulon cant see this as he is now more or less trapped in his human body

then he rushes back to the palace and hides the chest in the palace

then he writes out his last will and testament disowning ttt/azulon

then he calls ttt/azulon back to the palace {its an emergency}

then he tries to kill ttt/azulon~19~

sozen fails unable to kill salahs child {he did truly love her even with them both twisted by tttt} and falls at ttt/azulons hand

then he hides sozens last will and testament {right beside sozens chest ironically}

the next day tttt/azulon~19~ is crowned fire lord

he convinces the public that sozen was murdered by an assassin and he would find out the trueth but leaves it vauge

things become stabile but tense

tttt/azulon increases the army size and adds a spy ring to ‘track down the contractor of sozens assassin’

this fire nation becomes far more militirised

the scout that caught the traitor soldoers letters gos to tttt/azulon and asks what he should do with them tttt/azulon takes them and will use them later

however there is a problem

when ttttt became human again to escape agnis reach he didn’t know the CONSEQUENCES of his actions

the longer tt/azulon is human the more he forgets his history as ttt and as a spirit

when ttt/azulon was crowned he refused to take a wife or concubine as he knows that the combination of his bodies bloodline [fire bending and blessed by Agni from Sozen’s line and air bending and a royal line from Salahs] and his status as a body-anchored-spirit would cause any child he sired {by any partner} to be a FLASHPOINT {someone whos child would be a pivit point in history} [also any of his bodies grandchildren could ‘steal’ his power {vvvvv’s lightning} as vvv could still bless that child and the blessing would tie the power to the child and when ttt/azulons body dies the power would stay with the child not with tttt’s spirit.

But as the years pass and tttt/azulons memory of being tttt fades he forgets why he didnt want a spouse or children

eventually at 48 he caves to his advisors and weds rita~19~ [a noble woman daughter of one of his advisors] and at the end of that year rita~20~ gives ttt/azulon a son, iroh

just five years later rita~25~ gives tttt/azulon a second son, ozai [making iroh~5~ a big brother], but sadly rita~25~ dies in her birthing bed {oddly a LOT of the mothers of the fire lords heirs die in this mannor no one knows why}

for the next twelve years ttt/azulon~53-65~ raises iroh~5-17~ and ozai~0-12~ to be the perfect soldiers and hate everyon outside of the fire nation

fostering hatred against the fire nation

when iroh turns 17 a dragon is discovered and the public has a breif glimmer of hope only for it to be dashed when tttttttt/azulon~65~ explains that it isnt a real dragon but a monstor made by the last of the air nomads and sun priests and orders its death {it has no fire so it CANT be a child of agni} and the public demands that these ABOMINATIONS be exterminated

ttt/azulon agrees to do so

that year ttt/azulon~65~ marries iroh~17~ to vihanni~22~ [irohs best friend] and after the wedding he begins sending soldiers after the false dragons

by the end of that year onley 12 false dragons are dead and so is vihanni [she died a week after giving iroh a son, luten {thought to be birth fever but ttt/azulon~66~ poisioned her once iroh~17~ had a son and heir and she was no longer needed and she was a threat [she had started to make moves against tttt/azulon~66~] to ttt/azulons rule}]

three years after LuTen’s~3~ birth azulon[ttt is gone in memory]~69~ begins to look for a proper wife for ozai~15~ {since iroh’s~20~ line is already secure} and in his search he finds out that rokkus daughter, Asaso had wed a man, Demi and had a daughter, Urza[a girl of just 9].

Azulon~69~ tries to convince Urza’s~9~ parents to send the girl to the palace where she could grow up beside Ozai~15~ and to agree to the two being wed when Urza~9~ turns 17.

Asaso~21~ and Demi~19~ panic as Urza~9~ is a WATERBENDER and Azulon~69~ has recently begon sending troops to the water tribes {looking for the avatar so they could be ‘protected’[azulon wants him dead] form whatever air benders remain[their arnt any] in hiding} and takeing waterbenders captive {they dont know where they are or if their alive} ans flee the fire nation afraid of what azulon~69~ will do to urza~9~.

The trio makes their way to the southern water tribe hopeing for amnesty on a stolen fire nation ship but just a day out from shore a storm hits the ship

the ship is torn apart and Asaso and Demi are killed

urza~9~ washes ashore a day later half frozen only alive due to her bending {and tu and lies blessing}

she is found hours later by hoddick~22~ and his wife kana~24~

the couple takes her in {and some of her things that washed ashore beside her}

they dont tell anyone of her as they saw the fire nation sails

when urza~9~ wakes they find out that she is fire nation yes but shes a water bender

kana~24~ is afraid of how people will react and decides that she and hoddick~22~ will claim her as their own {they tell all but their imeadiate family that she was their daughter, kya’s~13~ twin sister that was born weak and sickly you see thats why shes so small and pale and we hid her away to avoid heartbreak if she were to die}

the girls know their not blood but that they are sisters all the same and raised as such

{kana~24~ makes a copy of her bethrothal stone{chain itself is the proposal while the stone was a heirloom of kanas family} and puts it on a chain identical to the one iiii gave her, then each necklace went to each of her daughters {kya~13~ gets the origional necklace and the copy stone while urza~9~-13-{{now ursa[zaa vs sa-ha}} gets the origional stone and the copy necklace} [the stones are slightly different and distinct from each other for those who know what their looking for]

she does this to tie them together as sisters

hoddick~22~ also teaches ursa~9~-13- to bend {even blood bending something his wife knows and approves of due to the constant threat of fire nation raides}

kya~13~ though not a bender memorizes the lessons and writes them all down

ursa~9~-13- also meets hakoda~4~ and bato~~9~ and the three and kya~13~ are IMMEADIATLY close friends and inseperable regardless of their age differences

six years pass

[Azulon~75~], [Iroh~26~], [Ozai~21~], [LuTen~9~], [Urza~15~ Ursa-19-], [Kya~19~], [Bato~15~], [Hakoda~10~], [Hoddick~28~], [Kana~30~], and {Aang~12~frozen}

ozai takes over azulons search for urza as he belives she is the one he is fated to be with and his only chance for love

iroh takes to hunting the false dragons

hakodas parents begin asking kana and hoddick to allow the boy to court kya or ursa when he turns 17

four more years pass

[Azulon~79~], [Iroh~30~], [Ozai~25~], [LuTen~13~], [Urza~19~ Ursa-23-], [Kya~23~], [Bato~19~], [Hakoda~14~], [Hoddick~32~], [Kana~34~], {Aang~12~frozen}, and [Haki~72]

azulon sends another raid to the southern water tribe during a kkkkk eclipse not knowing urza is there only that the water benders wont have accsess to their bending

hoddick and ursa are captured by the soldiers kya never forgives herself for failing them regardless of hakodas and batos insistance that she didnt

hoddick is to well trained to be broken into a healer so he is quickly executed on deck in veiw of his daughter ursa

the soldiers also stole many items from kanas home{most are kyas hakodas and ursas}

ursa is left tied up on deck

this is when she finds out that she can also bend FIRE and her fire is STRONG in her rage

ursa escapes the ship with her fathers body and her things but found that all the other benders were already dead

she swims to shore and finds herself in the fire nation

she finds her way to her grandmothers home

haki an elderly widdow is utterly thrilled to see her grandaughter and takes her in instantly

when she hears that ozai wants her she decides to act rather then react

she travels to the air temple and hides all of her things there {she keeps her necklace with her though}

then she returns as urza and hides ALL of her bending

then she focusses on hideing from ozai

but she accidently falls into her destiny when she finds the teenage LuTen drowning in a river she used to fish for pearls

she would water bend specific sand sized minerals into the oysters and then slip out the pearls without harming the animal

she rescues the boy and takes him into town where iroh and ozai are frantically searching for him.

Urza is suprized at how kind ozai is and as the two dance around each other she realizes that ozai could fix the war and help HER people[the southern water tribe]

six years pass

[Azulon~85~], [Iroh~36~], [Ozai~31~], [LuTen~19~], [Urza~25~ Ursa-29-], [Kya~29~], [Bato~25~], [Hakoda~20~], [Hoddick~32~], [Kana~40~], {Aang~12~frozen}, and [Haki~78]

in the spring of the sixth year of their dance urza agrees to wed ozai

oddly that same week kya weds hakoda

at the end of that year urza gives birth to a pair of twins a son-zuko and a daughter-izuna, while kya gives birth to a son-sokka

sokka

is perfectly healthy

takes after his southern tribe father and maternal grand father in skintone and blue-black hair but takes his northern tribe maternal grandmothers silver-blue eyes

zuko

is born not breathing but once he is made to he is fine {hes still weak}

he took his fathers dark black hair and drastically pale skin but his eyes are STIKEING his left eye is dark blue almost black{matching his mother} and his right eye is a mix of dark are bright golds

izuna

is born sleeping and while she continues to breathe and eat she does not wake or cry

she has pale silver blue eyes and blue-black hair

azulon berates ozai for producing such weakness

four years pass:

iroh convinces ozai to take urza izuna zuko and Luten to the emerald isles for rest and recuperation they’ll stay there for four years at which point luten will leave for military training for the war{iroh insists he wait till then hoping to save his innocence having begun to loose faith in the wars reasons}

meanwhile a year after sokka is born kya~30~ gives hakoda~21~ a daughter, katara{she is clearly a bender given her eyes that look silver blue in the daylight but nearly pitchblack in the moonlight} and is as such seen as a blessing but one that would be forever in danger

oddly the day katara is born izuna~1~ wakes and zuko~1~ breathes fire

ozai~32~ and urza~26~ are thrilled but only tell iroh~37~ and luten~20~ as they dont want to deal with azulons~86~ scruiteny

two years after that urza~28~ makes izuna~3~ and zuko~3~ older siblings by giving ozai~34~ a second daughter, azula{named as such for fire that dances around her fingers when she crys}

ozai has iroh~39~ stay with izuna zuko and luten as he and urza take azula tomeet azulon~88~

meanwhile at the same time hakoda~23~ and kya~32~ bring bato into their home and he becomes a third parent to sokka~3~ and katara~2~

a year after that luten~23~ leaves for training

Iroh~40~, Ozai~35~, Urza~29~, izuna~4~, zuko~4~ and azula~1~ return to the mainland of the firenation

after greeting azulon~89~ they follow iroh to their new home a recently reopened wing of the palace closed by sozen

then iroh leaves for ba sing se

meanwhile katara~3~ waterbends for the first time {kya~33~ bato~29~ hakoda~24~ are thrilled but terrorfied}

this same year toph beifng is born

three years pass

iroh~43~ gains the name

ozai~38~ begins to worry over izuna~7~ and zuko~7~ not activly bending and becomes creul in his fear

urza~32~ trys to soothe things over but it only gets worse when azula~4~ becomes an absolute prodigy and azulon~92~ takes notice of the older twos lack of bending

luten~26~ completes his training and joins his father in basingse

meanwhile azulon~92~ hears rumors of a southern water bender and sends another raiding party to the southern water tribe

hakoda~27~ bato~32~ and sokka~7~ are on a hunting trip and kya~36~ and katara~6~ are in their tent alone {kya reading the skrolls she wrote on her father and sisters bending[their in code and katara only knows a little of the code] to teach the girl what she can}

a fire nation soldier comes into the tens as the raiding partyhits the villiage and makes it clear that hes looking for the water bender.

Kya claims its her while meeting the mans eyes and the soldier nods and holds his hand out to make her stand{even though he knows she is lying for the child, he cant spare the ‘bender’ but he can spare the child}

kya takes his hand stands and gives katara her ncklace{now has two chains added to it from hakoda and baotos proposal}and after telling her to find her fathers leaves with the soldier

the soldier takes kya to the other soldiers expecting to take her onto the ship only for one of the soldiers to quickly slit her throat{merciful in comparison to the fate she is destined for on the ship}

the soldiers leave kyas body there and leave the pole for home.

Hakoda bato and sokka return to all of this

kana hakoda bato sokka and katara try to cope with the loss of kya

meanwhile the 3 year old toph makes her way into the tunnels

three yars pass

hakoda and bato leave for the war front less then a year into it unable to cope with the loss of kya

luten visits his cousins aunt and uncle and they all go on vacation to the emerald isles in the first year

luten and zuko bond quickly and luten teaches zuko to use the deul dao {he also teaches izuna in secret}

then luten returns to basingse

toph lives this year in the caves with the badger moles

the next year repeats the same save for toph returning home and chaffing under her parents ‘care’

the last year while ozai~41~ urza~35~ izuna~10~ zuko~10~ and azula~7~ are in the emerald isle the news arives that luten is dead killed in basingse at just 29 and iroh~46~ had retreated sent his men home and vanished

this breaks the family

azulon~95~calls ozais family home for the funeral

on greeting azulon the three children preform{azulon perfect zuko flailing and izuna purposly messing up}

urza leaves but the three children sneak back into eavesdrop on ozai and azulons talk

ozai angers his father and the man orders him to kill his son

ozai gos to urza instead

urza puts the children to bed tells them she loves them and after leaveing a chest of her things{her necklace the saved items from the raind and gifts from ozai in zukos room} she sneaks into the throne room and uses blood bending to shred azulons lungs with his own blood then she flees{so that if what she did comes out her childrenand husband would be spared and kindof fearing the spirits backlash for regicide}

while gone she plans to find her sister

azulons now half human half spirit ghost twisted with rage ans out of agnis reach now permenently as a schade, begins manipulating ozai as his memories begin to return{iroh is to filled with greif to touch}

toph~6~ meanwhile has started to sneak out at night

katara~9~ and sokka~10~ begin aiding kana~50~ in leading the remnents of the southern water tribes{the scaterd tribes have moved closer to each other but arnt yet merged}

three years pass

in the first year:

toph~6-7~ begins snaeking out to the fighting rings

kana~50-51~ begins preparing sokka~10-11~ and katara~9-10~ for her eventual death wanting them to be as ready as they can be

and ozai~41-42~ begins to quickly fall apart under azulons influence becoming colder and creuler to everyone in an attempt to scare them away so that those he loves are out of azulons reach

azula~7-8~ becomes more twisted {she is a sociopath and has no guidence} but mai~9-10~ and tylee~6-7~{sent to be livein friends by ozai to further protect his daughter from his ‘madness’ even though he dosent know just what is wrong with him}

izunas~10-11~ sight begins to fade {her pale eyes being damaged by the bright fire nation sun}

zuko~10-11~ continues to disapoint ozai and his mere presence infuriates his madness so ozai avoids him

izuna zuko azula tylee and mai cling to each other but only tylee knows about izunas eyes{she teaches her gymnastics to help with her balance}

the second year is the same as the first

the third year is when things take a turn

iroh~49~brings his ship and crew into port and gos to the palace

the kids pack their things so that they can have a slumber party on the empty ship

zuko~13~packs his and izunas things into his moms trunk{that now has sozens trunk inside it because izuna had found it and put it with her moms things thinking it was important to her mom[its in water tribe colors]

zuko wears his moms pendent in an old diffuser pedent from her mother on an earth nation chain from luten around his right ankle

the twins send their chest ahead when they find out iroh cant take them immeadiatlyas he has to attend a war room meeting {azula~10~ tylee~9~ and mai~12~ just decide to not go impatient}

the trunk arrives at the ship JUST as izuna and zuko convince iroh to take them into the meeting

in the war room a creul general makes a joke about the army needing more kindling zuko aks what he means the general explains and zuko freaks out on him

the boy is then challenged to an agni kai and since he thinks hell be fighting an old war hawk he agrees

two hours later hes on the dias waiting for the general only to turn and finds ozai instead

azulon is thrilled to have a chance to rid himself of zuko but wants to punnish ozai

azulon locks ozai in his own head he can see hear and feel but cant act as azulon stalks forward

zuko goes to his knees and refuses to fight his father

azulon leans down and puts both of ozais hands on the boys face brushing away tears as he guides the boy to stand

then the speech zuko is confused but izuna and ozai arnt

then azulon brings ozais flame into his right hand and while holding zukos face tightly with his left he presses his right hand over zukos left blue-black eye and burns it

as zuko screams out in pain as hes forced to stand and take it :

iroh looks away knowing he cant challenge the fire lord

azula pretends to be excited hoping it will distract ozai so he wont kill zuko{burns can heal}

everyone else stares in shock

but izuna looses it and tackles zuko away covering his body with her own gaining burns of her own across her back and neck

azulon has the children taken to the healers rooms and follows

he allows the healers to bandage them and bannishes the both

iroh offers to take them and ozai accepts before azulon reasserts control

iroh and the children leave withen the hour

zukkos burns cover his:

face left side hairline down to the chin down the far left side of the neck the left shoulder and 90% of the left arm and 65% of the left hand

he losees most of the sight in his left eye and is mostly deft on that side

izunas cover her:

98% of her back and 95%of her neck front and back the back of her right arm and hand

she looses the ability to speak as the wound on her neck pulls it so tight even breathing hurts

iroh directs the shipname to one of the seaside colonies and finds an apothicary to take in and treat the kidsin trade for rare herbs that iroh sends the shipname to collect

zukos hair has to be shaved into a phoenix tail to aid in the care of the burns while izunas escapes unscathed

the apothicary cares for the twins for the next {4} months as they drift in and out of conciusness[zuko constantly screaming in both states izuna erily silent]

but then their awake and strong enough that iroh is comfortable bringing them back on to the ship where they hide away from the crew for another month{until their strong enough to stand and walk on their own}

after the month the two meet the crew

izuna stays silent still unable to speak above the faintest whisper due to the tight skin of he burns

zuko speaks rarely{blaming himself for izunas wounds and the loss of izunas ability to sing} but when he does hes a bundle of unrivaled rage and pain and is visciously cutting in his tone and dialouge

the crew dosnt like them:

they were told their burns came from a training accident and that ozai had sent them ‘to find the avatar’ to keep them out of trouble and the crew are underpaid babysitters for a spoiled prince and princess

but they respect iroh to much to say this publicaly

for the next three years

the twins heal as they travel

in the first year they visit the nnnn air temple and find the skeletons

they bury them all {fire nation and air nomads alike} it takes months and they finish three days before the end of the month

though isuna is blind she gains the ability to ‘see’ heat marks as she heals

as they bury the skeletons and heal a bit more zuko accidently water bends out of frustration leading to izuna trying and succeding in it

after the skeletons are buried zuko searches the library for any mention of deul benders and finds that and writing on the avatar test

they both take the test as a joke

but izunas test is positive and zuko is petrified

the next day {first day of the second year}the twins rejoin the crew bringing pounds of scrolls with them and the shipname ships out

the crew stayed on the ship and think the twins are just playing around

iroh spent most of his time on the ship thinking that the twins are exploring and wanting to let them be kids

the twins know they will be powerful but dont know how theyll get there

only a week into the second year the ship is stopped by zhao who demands a private audience with zuko~14~

on zhaos ship zuko notices almost all of the crew is under 14

zhao makes it clear that ozai demands that zuko and izuna stay out of the fire nation until they have the avater in hand and offers to help

zuko carefully declines

zhao mentions that azula~9~ is still withen ozais reach

zuko assures him hell do it himself and returns to his uncles ship

the third year starts with a storm that pulls zuko overboard

more southern water tribe men leave to join hakoda~32-35~ while kana~52-55~ katara~12-15~ and

sokka~13-16~ condence all the remaining elders women and children to one teritory

toph~9-12~ begins fighting as the blind bandit and pretends to be the perfect daughter in front of her parents

THIRD YEAR OF THE TWINS BANISHMENT
