I Love the Way You Lie

***
You push
Pull each other's hair
Scratch, claw, bit 'em
Throw 'em down
Pin 'em
So lost in the moments
When you're in 'em

Now as we battled I realized just how long it’s been since I practiced my fire bending. About three years I think. I could feel my body wanting to react to the once familiar movements but not being able to. They were sloppy and sometimes painful, when the move required me to stretch or bend in a way that I hadn’t in such a long time

But I wouldn’t back down. I couldn’t. this was about more than my freedom or my stupid wrist. This was about bring Zuko back, my Zuko.

Ever since he was banished by his father I’d been watching over him from a distance and … he was changed.

It's the rage that took over
It controls you both
So they say it's best
To go your separate ways

The fight with his father had scared him in more way than one. he wanted nothing more than to make his father proud. He’d never been able to do that even as a child.

Zuko was to gentle for the Fire Lord. Azuela was much more ruthless. She would kill anyone who stood in her way and that was why she was her fathers favoirit.

it was ok though because Zuko had his mother. The fire lords wife was a very gentle person and did everything she could to protect Zuko but one day it was too much for her and she had to leave… she left him behind.

And so now as I fought him my white fire I knew what I had to do. I had to remind him of who he really was. That kind and gentle child.

That’s what I fought for.
