TWENTY-TWO.

What...happened? I've got a headache the size of Ba Sing Se.

It feels like I've been asleep for days.

...medicine?

[banishment]

Oh. Uh...thanks for the suggestion?

...do I know you?

[banishment]

Uh...that must have been when I was, uh, changed. I'm not the Fire Lord that you met anymore and I don't really remember any of the things I did when I was like that. I'm eight years younger and my name is Prince Zuko.

Sorry that I don't remember...

[banishment]

Catchy?

Um, okay. I'll remember.

...what all did I say to you?

[banishment]

It's a Fire Nation name. I'm not sure where my parents got it from, exactly, though.

Personal history lesson... Was it about the scar or just the Fire Nation in general? I tend to rant about both of those things.

[banishment]

It doesn't exist in the same world that Europe is. I think I come from another planet, judging from what I've read. My world isn't laid out like most are, where these Europe and Asia and America are located. My world has four nations: the Fire Nation, the Earth Kingdom, the Water Tribes, and the Air Nomads. The latter doesn't really exist anymore, thanks to my great-grandfather, but...yeah.

Fire Lord Ozai. Yeah, he's...a tyrant.

[banishment]

Conquers and Avatars. A long line of people competing for control of the world, I guess you could say.

He isn't...

[banishment]

I suppose they figured those involved in wars in their own worlds are the best ones to fight one here. Why not grab a firebending prince and princess?

Uh...thanks. I usually don't get that sort of compliment.
