Prologue
Ursa knew she had so little time.
She already said her goodbyes to her son Zuko. Yet she knew that there is one more person she must see.
Ursa crept through the palace hallways. The princess glances back and forth to ensure that no one is following her. Hoping that her husband, Prince Ozai, or rather the new Fire Lord, would keep his part of the bargain.
Reaching the last door, Ursa took a deep breath. The last time she'd been to this place was when the owner of the room threw her out because she tried to discipline her abusive behavior.
Carefully, the princess turns the knob.
The room was dark and Ursa's instinct kicks in when she blocks an attack consist of fire daggers from no other than her own daughter, Azula.
"Azula! Goodness child, are you trying to kill me?" The princess asks, clutching her chest nervously.
The nine-year-old girl smirks as she disperses her flames. "I guess that's the idea, mother, for sneaking into my room unannounced." Azula rolls her eyes and crossed her arms in irritation. "What are you doing here anyway?"
Ursa stares at her daughter. The startled look from their earlier encounter diminishes into a somber expression.
"I came to say goodbye…"
"What for?" The girl raises an eyebrow looking relieved somehow. Ursa noticed but didn't comment.
"Oh? You must have picked the wrong room… Zuzu's room is on the other side of this hallway…" Pointing at the opposite direction, Azula looks annoyingly at the woman standing before her. Gritting her teeth, the young princess sneers inwardly. "This is the first time you visited me on my room since my sixth birthday." The girl said unemotionally.
Ursa shook her head in regret and attempts to reach for the girl but Azula stepped back. The princess sighed in surrender.
"I cannot blame you… I've never been a good mother to you…"
"Now you tell me? Please, cut the drama… I really don't care anyway." Shrugging her shoulder indifferently, Azula went back to her bed. "If you don't mind, I am tired and I want to…"
Azula was stunned as her mother embraces her tightly. She tried to break free but…
"I was scared because you are turning into someone I could not reach… You are becoming someone I do not know…" Ursa whispered, "Just like your father…" Cradling the child's face, the princess kissed her daughter on the forehead.
"Unlike your brother, you have a strong will. Something that is needed to remain pure in this imperfect world." Smiling gently, the woman removed her own necklace and gave it to the girl.
It was a necklace that her beloved grandfather gave her.
"I am proud of you, my dearest Azula."
Azula shook and fell on her knees, astounded.
"I know I shouldn't ask of you for this, but promise me that whatever happens, remember that I will always care for you, my precious daughter…" Tears started to form and Ursa struggled more.
"You and your brother are the best things that happened to me… Don't ever forget that…" The princess holds her daughter closely.
"I love you so much…"
That night, Azula's world shattered into pieces.

Please like and leave a review… Constructive criticisms are welcome… But don't be too harsh or sarcastic in a way, oksu?
Ah yes, title might change… What do you think? Does 'Avatar: Azula's Legacy' sounded good enough for you or will it be 'Memoirs of a Fire Princess'?
Love and peace!
