Today marked that death anniversary, Ozai rarely shows affection to his children but when he do, he means every expression of tough love. He lamented on his banishment of Zuko, but if he's strong, he shall return in due time. Azula was unequestionably the most talented, hence Ozai demanded more from her & though she exceeds the odds, her emotion was weak. Zuko exhibited the most finesse in martial skill but lacks the ruthlessness to purge enemies & that's why he banished him, it wasn't because he's insulted military plans, he held back in the Agni Kai & could've won if he just landed the shot. Zuihou, his middlechild seemed to have hidden potential, at first he questioned her birth at that time, he did as what Ursa told, Kohaku had his eyes & cold pan face as he watched her grow over the years. Ozai has faced constant assassination attempts at his life, it especially came from his people, he dreaded that he was mortal & wanted more power. If his children are weak then they will perish, that is why he's so tough love to them, he wanted them to be powerful heirs. Whoever exceeded his expectations, he shall crown the next Firelord.

Banishment won't be the trigger, if your brother surpassed it, then I shall exact a harder ordeal because I know you both can do better than that. Azula, oversee care of the Yuyan Archers, you are now the Colonel & make sure to put Lieutenant Zhao in line, I'll not tolerate any social climbers & koi whisperers, the right to rule by divinity is only through our family. Which brings me to you, Crown Princess Zuihou, rather than play chase with Bees, perhaps it would be more productive if your skill in Firebending is empowered. My first daughter, before I'd promote you in any military rank, first prove yourself as I've hired Fire Sage Zouren to be your teacher. If you exceed, I may just give you a land where you can harvest your Bees. Try not to kill each other, I want the three of you alive for an Agni Kai would be your final test between the three of you, whoever wins shall be the the next Firelord. What are you two standing there for? Let the games begin! [/i][/cell][/row][/table] [/indent][/indent]
