Epilogue
Darkness…
Surrounded by obscurity…
No sun to caress my skin and bless my fire…
What have I become?
Metal…
Cold and heartless…
Where no life can survive…
Where am I?
I am a prisoner of my own fate, destroyed by the great spirits.
And my own greed…
I have no life to live anymore.
Why am I here?
Why does my heart beat?
Why does the world go on?
I was betrayed…
By my father…
Mother…
Those I once trusted…
Those who feared me most.
I live in the darkness of the void inside my head.
No more pitiless eyes…
No more faces…
No more voices…
No, they left me.
Left me here.
To die…
To rot…
To regret.
What have I done?
Those lives I have hurt.
A feeling in my heart.
So newborn and misunderstood.
So virgin am I to these emotions.
I have never felt this way before…
Why did I do it?
I was to rule the great nation…
I was to be grand in the eyes of all living…
But that woman I once knew is gone, now.
Where did she go?
Her spirit was broken…
And she left the pieces here with me.
I was once Azula, crowned heir…
"I need a suitor, an heir to the throne…"
Those words still burn my heart.
But of what use are they to me, now?
I am stuck between life and death.
Rotting away in a sunless prison cell.
Just like Mai and Ty Lee.
Maybe I understand…
Perhaps I do not…
I have fallen into silence.
No emotion at all.
Precious purpose has been stolen.
I do not know when…
Or where…
I realize, though…
The eyes…
The faces...
The voices…
They all betrayed me.
I know why.
As I bow down and pray, I wish it was not true.
But deep inside my soul is the answer.
I have known it all my life…
No one cares, now…
No one understands…
No one remembers…
Princess Azula…
They never have.
