[shakes his head again, harder this time]

That's different.

[sharpasfire.livejournal.com]

Because it's different if you simply let someone die? Or if it's someone else's choice...

You know I won't give up like Uncle did if it came to that. I won't stop until the throne is mine or I'm dead.

[capthlock_rage]

I don't want that to happen...

[sharpasfire.livejournal.com]

Then what are you going to do, Zuko?

[capthlock_rage]

I don't know!






... This isn't your fault.

[sharpasfire.livejournal.com]

I was the one who proposed burning the Earth Kingdom. I struck the Avatar down without hesitating. If I become Fire Lord I will be everything Dad is and worse...

[and you know this isn't the real Azula because this one isn't delivering it with the same relish, she almost sounds resigned]

Don't I deserve the same fate?

[capthlock_rage]

... We used to be happy.

[sharpasfire.livejournal.com]

We did.


But you still have to make a choice.

[capthlock_rage]

Because you're forcing me to!

It's not fair...

[sharpasfire.livejournal.com]

Sorry to inconvience you by not falling to my death.

But I never made things easy for you, so why start now?

[capthlock_rage]

... You'll never change, will you?

[sharpasfire.livejournal.com]

Why would I want to change? Unlike you, I know exactly what I'd do when that day comes. That's why, even now you still listen to me. Because I may be a monster but I know exactly what kind of monster I am.

You, on the other hand, have a fainting spell and fever after your indecision over what cake to eat for desert...

[capthlock_rage]

No. I do know what I'd do. Between you and the world... that's not a choice, it's a sacrifice.


... But you're right. I'm afraid.

[sharpasfire.livejournal.com]

Making sacrifices. That seems to happen a lot in our family. Sozin, Grandpa, Dad, Mom...

It's practically in the blood.



You should be afraid. You were always afraid. The question you need to ask yourself is why are you still hesitating?

[capthlock_rage]

I want to be different.

[sharpasfire.livejournal.com]

How can you be different when both sides are telling you this is the only way. Because Roku let Sozin live, he allowed the war to happen. Are you going to make the same mistake our ancestors did?

[capthlock_rage]

No... no.

[sharpasfire.livejournal.com]

Then you know what you have to do.

[capthlock_rage]

I don't know if I can...

[sharpasfire.livejournal.com]

Can as if you're able or if you're willing to go that far to save the world?

I'm not going to surrender peacefully, I'm not going to change. Uncle has practically told you "she's crazy and she needs to go down" so what's stopping you from doing what's right!

[capthlock_rage]

If I can't change my own sister, how am I supposed to change the whole world?

[sharpasfire.livejournal.com]

And if you don't stop me there won't be a world left to save.

[capthlock_rage]

... What would Mom think?

[sharpasfire.livejournal.com]

[makes a disgusted noise and looks away]

Mom thinks I'm a monster too.

[sharpasfire.livejournal.com]

It doesn't matter what she thinks. You know she's just like the rest of us! Why else did she suddenly disappear the night when Grandpa died and Dad took the throne? She killed him to save your life!

...she abandoned us.
