[Mun just read the Search part 3]

You were always such a fool.

Of course that's how it ended! Did you really expect any different!?

There will be no happy ending for me. That was stolen away from me long before those books were ever written.

Now leave me to my exile. It is a better fate then you would have chosen for me.

You're an even bigger fool if you honestly believe that there's still hope.

If you'd give everyone around you a chance, there could be a happy ending for you, Azula.

[burnedbrighter]

No!

I tried to do the right thing! For our people and for myself but SHE ALWAYS GOT IN THE WAY!

And now you see just how far she was willing to go.

Be happy with your new sister Zuko. I'm sure she'll be much easier to handle.

[deconflagration]

What do I have to do to make you understand that you're still my sister? Or that Mother loves you just as much as she loves me? Azula, I know we're never going to have an easy life together but can't we at least try to have a normal relationship?

[maipokerface]

What, are you still playing the victim here?

[burnedbrighter]

Even you must admit the end of my story was dissatisfying. Even death would have been preferable.

[maipokerface]

Maybe. It is what it is though. You're the only one who can change that.

[thepinkest]

I dunno, that always seemed like one of those free-will things to me.

You know, like choosing to be nice to people or not. What you do to them determining what they'll do for you and all that stuff.

Buuuut maybe that's just me.

[burnedbrighter]

That is very clearly just you.

If these books have done anything, they've proved that our parents are largely the cause for everything wrong in our lives.

Specifically her...

[thepinkest]

Iiiiii don't know about that. Once you pick a course and stick with it, what're they gonna do?

[speaks_with_fire]

Things can always change. Don't write yourself off just because of some events that went on.

[burnedbrighter]

I didn't write myself off, they wrote me off.

And in the last few years of being trapped with this Mun creature I'm beginning to understand just how little my will matters in the face of such forces. When every fiber of my being screams no all it takes is a stroke of the pen to send me hurtling towards my next great humiliation or pain.

[speaks_with_fire]

Yeah I know some things aren't exactly easy to face. I mean I've dealt with fucked up shit that can explode you with its mind.

But here's the thing. Those things still bleed and think. Muns do too. They're not infallible. So turn that embarrassing situation on its fucking head.

Wake up naked next to your sworn enemy? Fucking own that situation.

[ikilledthemoonjohn]

To be entirely fair to your mundane, not many people would have guessed that!

[burnedbrighter]

Would you believe he kept insisting that I would abandon my royal status and become an actress like her?

I'm not sure if I consider such a pathetic existence any better then vanishing into the woods forever.

[ikilledthemoonjohn]

Forever? You presume too much, Princess. No, that will not be the last seen of you, and it is THIS fact that should worry you above all.

Ooh. What happened?

[windyellow]

There's always hope for people. Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Resolution for Zuko and Ursa. None for Azula

[burnedbrighter]

And yet all the hope in the world won't stop a fire from consuming everything in it's path.

Sounds interesting.

[windyellow]

A fire has no mind of their own though you do. It would be a very lonely life if you don't have people you can count on.

Best of influences

[phoenix_king]

Hope is a crutch.

Re: Best of influences

[burnedbrighter]

And what do you call upon in your darkest moments father?

Re: Best of influences

[phoenix_king]

The same thing I always have. My own burning will and ambition. As is befitting of one of the Fire Nation and this family.

[savedtheworld]

That's just the end of one story, Azula. Not your whole story.

There's always another chance. There can always be hope, but only if you can welcome it.

[burnedbrighter]

The future of my story lies in the hands of men Avatar.

Weak men, foolish men. Mortal men.

I find it increasingly difficult to have faith in anyone if I cannot even trust myself.

[tofu_tiger]

There is always hope, little one. Even if it's hard to find, even if it takes years to find.

[burnedbrighter]

I don't want years! I spent years preparing to serve my country. I accomplished more in that year then seasoned warriors three times my age.

And now it's all been taken from me.
