Chapter 6 Ozai’s Obsessions
The Fire Sages came into the throne room terrified. They knew that with the comet drawing nearer Ozai’s moods became more and more erratic. It seemed speaking to him of the Chosen Child kept him focused. They made there way in slowly letting the elder Sage take the lead. He too was terrified but had years of practice with two Fire Lords moods and he learned to enhance his calm.
Ozai had much to think of over the few years. He knew his son wouldn’t find the Avatar so it was a shock when the little whelp did. Azula was better than her brother but even she was tiresome. All of his concubines still would not conceive. He knew she had poisoned them and it served his purpose for now. Why have yet another child that would live to disappoint him? He sent her as a way to get her out of his hair and to keep his son on his toes. The little failure was showing some spine now. Maybe he had judged him too harshly. He watched as the sages slunk into his presence. If they didn’t have any good news today, he pondered there usefulness.
“ Why do you come here now Sage Wan Shu?” Ozai let the flames rise a little higher and watched as a lesser one cringed in fear. Causing fear and having so much control over others was getting less and less amusing.
“ We have done all we can and believe we now know the identity of the Chosen Child as you know my Lord whoever controls that girl controls the world.” He bowed low and motioned the others to do the same. They stayed low while Wan Shu sat back on his heals and looked at the Fire Lord.
“ Yes you have said this before.” He waved the comment away and replaced it with the question that had been gnawing him since he found his father’s library. Even the Sages did not have the knowledge his father had. His father Azulon had charted all the way up to his death the progression of this supposed child’s birth nation, day, and time. “ Can she be used to breed more Avatars?”
“ We believe so yes.” Now it was time for some truth. “ The cycle can’t be changed but we can assure that the Avatar can be born into the Fire Nation.”
“ Who and where is this girl child? “
“ We do know she was borne shortly after your first born was a year, in fact which would make her 16. We also know that because of her abilities she will have an unusual hair color and we know she is a water and a fire bender. That is all we know for facts. Unfortunately the other nation’s priests will not speak with us anymore. One of the earth Kingdoms has all the breeding records-“
“ Find this girl before the comet. I want her and the Avatar in my grasp before the comet comes.” That was nothing new.
He knew that the child was born after his failure of a son. Unlike the priests he also knew she was born in the North Pole. He did not know who her mother was. He had hoped to capture her as well as bring the tribe to its knees, but once again his plans were thwarted because his son and now his brother ruined that plan and turned traitor.
“ There is more...your son-“
“ What about him. He is a failure- “
“ We believe your son will be the one to find her. Also my Lord we believe she is traveling with the Avatar.”
Ozai steeples his hands together and thought. What if Zuko has found her already? Could it be possible that she was the one responsible, the reason that stopped them from taking the North? If Zuko has already found her and knows what he has, he could be planning to use this girl against him. The question being has the little brat grown up enough or is he still the naive child that he was when he paid for challenging him. That was not a chance he was willing to take. It was time to see what child could survive now. It was time to see which child was really loyal to him.
“ Find her.” He waved them away. They slunk out as they had slunk in. It was time to see where Azula loyalties lay. It was also time to try a new tactic. Bounty’s have been put on the Avatar’s head and come up with nothing. Maybe putting a bounty on her head would produce results.

Azula sat on the Earth Kings throne as if it were made for her. She and her friends had taken over without a single shot being fired. Defeating those Kyoshi warriors, if you could call them that, was easier than pulling Zuko’s strings. The Earth King was so sheltered he believed anything she told him. Her failure with the drill worked out after all. Just not how she had in mind. Convincing the Earth King that Long Fang was a liar was so easy afterward. Long Fang was problematic at best but now Bah Sing Se and The Dai Li were all hers now. Sneaky underhandedness was her best tactic unlike her brother who always had to do it the hard way. Everything always has to be head to head for him. She sighed thinking about poor little Zu Zu who may have been older than she but was still such a child. She watched as Mai twirled her pocket knife, board out of her mind as usual and Ty Li trying to teach the King’s pet how to walk on his front paws.
“ See it’s easy you just walk on your front paws instead of the rear ones.” She demonstrated by walking on her hands. The bear just looked at her and went back to sleep. “ Well you’re no fun.”Ty Li gave up and sat crossed legged on the floor her chin resting in her hand.
“ This was too easy.” Mai put her knife away and watched as a Dia Li agent came in with a messenger hawk.” I hope it’s good news. I am so board here Azula.”
Azula scowled at Mai half heartedly. Azula did not wish to admit it but she was board as well. She unfurled it and recognized her fathers aides hand writing.
To my beloved daughter
I congratulate you on your recent victory on Bah Sing Se. You have managed to do in a manner of days what has taken your predecessors years to attempt to accomplish. You truly are ‘My Little Prodigy’.
Azula cringed at this use of his pet name for her. Ever since she had turned twelve he called her that. Not that she minded what she had to do to her father to be called it but, she hated the name just the same. He had told her long ago that family is the only ones you could ever love and/or trust. Then she had taken him at his word. Now she found the true meaning to his words.
I will be sending a worthy enough governor to take over. I have a new mission for you my child. One that requires your singular talent.
There is a new threat to our nation, one that I have no doubt you will find and crush. I am speaking of The Chosen Child. She will be unusual in that her hair and eyes will be unlike any color you have ever seen. I also know that her Father was a member of the Yin Meng family. She will be a water bender and more. I’m afraid this is all I can tell you of her. I know you were told that she was a fairy tale but even fairy tales hold truth.
This girl is out there and I want you to find her before your brother does. Yes I know your brother isn’t much of a threat but, with this girl in his pocket he may become one. If he has this girl, he will take the throne from you my prodigy. I do not want my nation in his hands. I need you to bring your brother home. I know I have asked this before but now you must bring him home with all honors. I will reveal all to you when I have your brother here where I can keep an eye on him. Your Uncle you may do with as you see fit.
One final thing. This girl must be untouched Azula. I know she will be a tempting play thing but mark me do not touch her. Your brother I don’t have to worry about. I will leave it to you to do what you must to keep her in line but she is not to be your play toy.
I leave this all in you capable hands my little prodigy.
Your Loving Father
“ Well, Well, Well ! ” Azula rolled the parchment back up and burned it. “ It seems Ladies we aren’t quite done yet.”
“ What do you mean?” Ty Li came cartwheeling up the stairs. Mai gloomily followed behind her.
“ It seems Father has something else for us to do. Ladies were back on the hunt.”
“ The Avatar?” Ty Li queried
“ Your Uncle and Brother?” Mai hoped.
“ Yes to the first. Yes to the second but now we add another target.”
“ What about Bah Sing Se?!”
“ Father is sending someone to take over here. Now, we have a very special person to find.” Already Azula’s mind was working. So the Chosen Child isn’t the myth I believed. All this time I thought she was a fairy tale the other nations told each other to have hope. Now it’s time to crush all their hopes. I know you well Father. I will use this girl against you. You fear Zu Zu way too much. As if Zu Zu could stop me.
