Day of Black Sun
Coward! You think you’re brave enough to face me but you’ll only do it during an eclipse. If you have any real courage, you’ll stick around until the Sun comes out. Don’t you want to know what happened to your mother?
He’s the coward. He is the one who burned his defenseless son and felt no remorse. He’s the one who sits on a plush throne while hundreds of men die for him-and others who die because of him-on the open battlefield and feels no responsibility. He’s the one who would have let his only son die-and would have done the murder himself without a second thought. He’s the coward, he’s the coward, he’s the coward. But……Mother…
The falter of steps echoes in the near-empty room and the older face regains its trademark smirk immediately. Zuko was always the weaker of his two children, after all.
