Zuko's Flower

Something that I think about and mention a lot is how Azula was raised. Namely that she was basically a human weapon for Ozai. He pretty much saw her raw talent as a kid, the potential for power, and groomed her as a war child. In doing this I think that he gave her a very warped sense of self worth among other things. For as hard as she pushes other people, I feel like she holds herself to very high-standards too; no doubt that it's because of how she was raised.

Despite her confidant bravado, I honestly I feel like Azula could be probably one of the most insecure characters on the show. Hear...

Before anything else is stated I want it to be known that I do love both Azula and Zuko; so no this isn't gonna be a Zuko hate/bash Zuko article.

So instead of getting straight into the actual matter of the agni kai, I'd like to go over why I think Azula in general is more powerful than Zuko. This I will post from an older article (so if you read this one you may as well just scroll down lol); First and foremost, the obvious; Azula has Blue fire (supposedly hotter than any other fire) on the show. This is something unique to Azula and Azula alone. Where as Bloodbending is not unique to Katara....

This story will contain spoilers! You will understand when you read it. If you have not finished the series and do not want it spoiled then stop reading here.

This story is about Azula when she's on the path to insanity. This is what I think her actions, and thoughts were in between scenes from the series. Let's begin. Keep in mind that none of this is fact, it's just fanfiction.


Following the events of The Boiling Rock Part 2:

Azula had just escaped the island.
I can't believe that Mai and Ty Lee betrayed me! she thought, maybe it was that I controlled them through fea- NO. Fear is the most reliable...

Mai is the daughter of the Governor of "New Ozai" and his oldest child. During the course of the series, she becomes one of Princess Azula's main sidekicks (thereby one of Team Avatar's greatest foes), as well as Prince Zuko's love interest. As one of the most privileged girls in...

The sun is down, the gang is talking about who should go and talk to Azula to find out how she feels about Jet.

"I say Katara" said Sokka

"Why Me" asked Katara

"Because you always putting your nose where it's not wanted, and you'll get an answer out of her" said Toph

"Why don't Zuko, Iroh, Mai, or Ty Lee do it, they've known her all her life" said Katara

"Because we can never get anything out of her, you on the other hand always do" said Zuko

"Give it a try Katara" said Aang

"Fine" said Katara as she walked off.

Katara went to Azula's room which was Yue's room before she turned into the moon spirt,...

It's been a week since, Katara hasn't talked about Azula's mother because she know's it might upset her. They've been traveling until sunset, they found a place to stay with some nice rich people who offered them rooms to sleep in for the night and some dinner. The sun went down and Azula changed back into a monster. They gang was down at dinner and wondered where Azula is.

"Where's Azula" asked Aang

"I think she's still in her room" said Katara

"I wonder why she's not down here for dinner she hasn't ate since this morning" said Ty Lee

"Well she needs to come down for food, she can't exist on air"...

That night Azula dreamed.

After a long while of staring at the ceiling, the cold metal shackles biting her hands all the while, and enduring Ling-Ling’s attempts to make conversation, she had found herself in something of a sleep.

Her dream wasn’t unpleasant.

The dream was a bit of a blur; she was a little girl again. Ling-Ling and Heekul were both real people, her mother loving. Zuko had joined them in whatever game they were playing.

Azula, upon waking could most vividly remember the faces and the smells—freshly cut grass and her mother’s floral perfume lingered on the fringes of her...

This chapter and probably the next will be all flashback.

It was a stormy night. Each drop colder than the next.

The former princess huddled herself against the wall of her cave…her home. Azula had tried to make herself a fire; she’d lit it up at least thrice only to have the wind smother it once more. So she’d given up and simply sat there listening to the rain thrash against the side of the cave.

Aside from the cold Azula enjoyed the storms. They were noise in the overpowering silence. On some days—if the rain was too chilling—she’d exit her cave and talk to the drops as they...
