Dear Mun,

I was glad that you picked me up. Even if it was for a short while, during an event, I got to see my children, the adults they have become.

I know that I do not have much canon, but I think you've come to really like me in the short time we have been together, have you not?

It might be difficult to find me a home right now, but I am glad you haven't decided to just give up on me and want to keep doing this with me.

[Oh look it's your daughter looking not at all well]

Give it time...mother.

As I understand it your secrets will be revealed soon, as well as my fate.

You'll get to see your family again, one day. I know it. [Even if Zuko's the only one she'll get positive feelings from seeing.]

...It just might take another year.

[Oh... Well... This is awkward.

Hello, darling wife.]

Ursa. I did not think I would see you again.

Apparently so.

Although that means my mun will have less headcanon to play from, I suppose.

Still, I was glad to see you in that place, however short it was. I am always concerned about you, after all.

Avatar Aang... I certainly would hope so. No mother should have to make the choice I was faced with, but I have to believe I did what was right for my children.

The feeling is mutual, Ozai.

[There is still love there, even though she was burnt. She can't quite forget the dashing prince she married and to whom she bore two strong Fire Nation children.]

I saw what you had become after I left.

Don't...start.

I'm barely managing to keep myself as it is. And my Mun is dropping me in some new place soon. A place with that...man. The one with the mask. Like a specter or a demon. Pale and not blue with dark eyes.

I am afraid I do not know who that is. Someone from the future, maybe? I have met many of those. Including you and your brother.

And from the past as well. To think that someone like me had the honor of speaking face to face with Avatar Kyoshi herself...

[Even if he did banish her, Ozai sill has feelings for Ursa as well. She certainly brings out a softer, human side in him. Still, he believe he was right in what he did.]

I became what my father wanted. A son who would continue the war and win it, making Fire Lord Sozin's dream a reality.

At first, you did, yes.

[But she's also seen you beyond that point. And she's not sure she should tell you about it.]

Our children... Our children suffered much from the strife in their own family. I wish we could have done things differently.

A future...me?

And what do you think could have been done differently?

[Deep bow.]

Honored Lady.

For me, yes. I was brought to this strange place a few hours only after I left the palace. To see both you and Zuko so grown up... it was a shock.

... If you have to ask the question, Ozai, I do not think you are ready to hear the answer.

Besides, I do not wish to disparage your father in front of you.

[Even if she plotted to have him killed, she still has an ounce of respect for what Azulon represented as the leader of her nation.]

... I am sorry, I do not think I know you, I am afraid?

Oh...I thought...

[scowls again and looks away]

Of course there's no future for something like me. Foolish.

It's...complicated. I am from a time long after yours.

General Iroh II of the United Forces.

I was not pleased with his decision either, but it was his right as Fire Lord.

I allowed you to go through with your plan in order to save our son. That should tell you my feelings on the matter.

There is always something that awaits, Azula.

Just because it is not what you envisioned does not mean ti is not there.

And that does not sit wrong with you? That we should sacrifice our flesh and blood, and put family to the side? How can one preside over such a great country as ours, if one cannot be compassionate to one's own erring children?

You'll excuse me if I don't trust the word of a figment.

I can barely recognize myself in the mirror anymore.

I am familiar with the predicament. It has happened to me before, and I met people from the future, as well as the past.

Iroh? Are you somehow related to my brother-in-law?

My grandfather, your son, asked my mother to name me after him.

[He's never exactly sure if he should come out and say such things, but it wouldn't do to just drop hints and leave his great grandmother in the dark.]

You are Zuko's grandson?

[Talk about a blast from the future.]

And already so grown up... so much time must have passed!
