Chapter 12
Zuko and Aang Bring a
Lost Son Home
A young man named Lee was feeding the sheep-pigs on his father's farm, when they all started squealing, he looked up in stunned disbelief as he saw a regal looking procession approaching the farm. There were servants bearing a very impressive palanquin, and leading that procession; it was Zuko, he was dressed very differently from the last time Lee had seen him, but Lee recognized the fire-bender, who briefly filled the gap left by Lee's lost brother. Lee treated Zuko very badly, when he found out that he was a Fire-Nation prince, and had regretted it since then.
Lee rushed to Zuko, and shouted, "Mother, father, he's come back!" Lee jumped into Zuko's arms and buried his head in his surrogate brother's chest; Zuko grunted in pain, and his skin blanched, a little, as the boy's head hit the lightning burn on his chest. The servants were about to move forward, but Aang held them back with a gesture. Zuko almost didn't recognize him, Lee was about a foot taller, and had packed on some muscle since the last time they'd seen each other. "I'm so sorry I said I hated you, and I was afraid I'd never get to apologize for it." "It's alright Lee," Zuko said giving him a quick hug, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you the truth, and that you had to find out the way you did."
Gansu and Sela came walking up, they were slightly more suspicious of Zuko than their youngest son, but both were grateful to him the help he had given them. Something happened, then, that the modest Earth-Kingdom farming family never expected, this man, who was Fire-Nation royalty, knelt; and bowed to them, splaying his arms out to the side. It also surprised them that was he walking, and not riding in the litter. "Gansu, Sela and Lee; since I was here last year, I've regretted lying to you about who I was; but I hope you can understand why I did what I did." He stood and Lee handed him a scabbard with a pearl handled dagger. "I've kept it safe, and sharp, for you." Zuko gave him a smile and said, "I told you it was yours, Lee."
"Why have you come back," the man, Gansu, asked. "First, allow me to introduce Aang, the Avatar, and the one who finely brought about an end to the war." Aang saw the stunned look on the farming family's faces. He could understand how this would be overwhelming to them; A visit from the Firelord and the Avatar in the same day, wait until they saw what Zuko planned next.
"I owed you a debt of gratitude for taking me in, and as I said, I owed you an apology for deceiving you." He gestured to one of the palanquin bearers, who pulled aside the curtain that concealed; "Sensu," Lee shouted and ran towards his elder brother stepping out of the ornate carriage, behind him was his father. Sela stopped for just a moment and hugged Zuko, with tears in her eyes, she couldn't find the words to thank him, but he knew what she was feeling. He nodded, and then she turned to be with her husband and her two sons.
That evening, as they were leaving the farm after having been invited to join the reunited family for dinner, Aang gave Zuko a squeeze on his hand and said, "You did a really good thing, back there, Zuko."
