When Prince Zuko heard about his father's new prisoner, the final bricks in his crumbling resolve began to give. The Fire Nation Capital become less of a hesitant safe haven and more of a bomb factory; one spark was all it would take. Zuko spent the first night battling his conscience, and the next two planning out what he would say. Not a single greeting would fit. She would see through it all, and leave nothing for him but crumbs of the man he wished to be.
On the fourth day of knowing she'd been captured, Zuko had to act. Interrogations wouldn't be kind, and while the prisoner had no reason to seek solace in Zuko, something deep within nagged at him to "do the right thing," as his uncle would say. Whatever that "right thing" was, Zuko didn't know. But he had to do something.
Under cover of night, Zuko crept from the palace. He brought nothing with him. Only a lantern to guide him, and a robe to cover his scarred, recognizable face. He made his way to the tower where she was imprisoned. He said nothing to the lone guard, who he had built an unspoken understanding with, and took a deep breath. Now or never, he supposed.
Zuko stepped before the door of the newcomer's cage: Katara of the Water Tribe.
