The Tale of Zuko ☄ Book 01; Chapter 01 ☄ Video

[deconflagration]

[ He's been on the ship for about a week and has maybe stepped foot into his assigned room a total of once. Most of the week was spent being in shock, angsting over his planet-go-boom situation and analyzing all the people. It wasn't good enough to lose all the things he held dear once; he had to lose everything he held dear twice. WHY HIM? Such is

[It's a pony. Deal with it.]

Well, I don' know anythin' 'bout no wars 'round these parts, but that's a yes on that second question of yers sugarcube. What makes you think folks wouldn't want to get along?

[ A pony-what. WHAT ARE YOU MIXED WITH, STRANGE PONY CREATURE? And wow, are you from the Swamp or something, pony girl?! He keeps a mostly... polite... expression on his face. What the heck a pony-something is speaking to him. ]

Because people have a tendency to be selfish and hungry for power.

[SHE IS THE RARE NON-MIXED TYPE. REMEMBER THAT BEAR?! Amd you can't grow no apples in a swamp silly. What kind of weird place are you from?]

Not wantin' to hang out fer selfish reasons, okay I get that. But hungry fer power? Really? I best be glad I ain't met anypony like that.

[ NO, ZUKO IS NOT FAMILIAR WITH BOSCO THE BEAR. You shut up about growing apples in the swamp. AND THE FIRE NATION IS NOT WEIRD. ]

It's more complicated than "hanging out for selfish reasons." You've at least heard of people hungry for power, right?

[It's a legitimate concern. Apples are srs bsn. AND COMPARED TO A TOWN OF TALKING PONIES THAT SPEND THEIR WEEKS LEARNING ABOUT FRIENDSHIP, YES, THE FIRE NATION IS WIERD.]

I've heard of hungry fer knowledge, but other than some old pony tales, not so much on the power thing.

[ The Fire Nation is amazing! Severely misled but AMAZING! ]

When you get a taste of power, you usually want more. Sometimes you start doing whatever you can to make sure you get it. But however much you get, it's never enough.

[Just keep telling yourself that.]

Boy do I feel sorry fer ya, havin' that sort of mindset. Jus' what sort of place gets you thikin' like that?

[video]

[deconflagration]

A place that had a taste of power and ended up in a century long war because of it.

[roughntough]

Guess I should've figured that.

Well, yer in Thor now, so y'all don't need ta worry 'bout all that. Me 'n my friends ain't too fussy on that power thing.

Good. Too much power is never a good thing. It's hard to avoid the issue entirely, though, because without some power, you're a sitting duck and easily taken advantage of.
