Zuko

Excerpt:
When she looked at me,
Her eyes pierced my heart
With vengeless anger,
Longing to be set free;
A familiar fire
That burned and would not depart ….

When she yelled at me,
My heart was torn by sorrow
For her, as if longing to be
In her place, to prevent today
What could not be saved tomorrow;
Her price I would gladly pay…

When her hand struck me,
I was stunned
By the gentleness of her caress

Excerpt:
for anyone who hasn't read this yet, my apologies if I am revealing anything too soon, this is not a review, just some things I wanted to point out.
As a long time reader of comic books and graphic novels, I am accustomed to story twists, alternate endings, character deviation - so in this book i'm actually expecting this. It's not enough to just ask where his mother is, or what "happened" to her, this brings up an opportunity to take a deeper look at Zuko, Azula, and the royal family, otherwise "the Search" would end up a pretty short story. In part one, we see a nice backstory...

Excerpt:
ZUKO:

Promise that you’ll end my life should I become like dad;
Promise you will take me down if I become so bad.
Cancer has run in families since before my incarnation;
An avatar must vow to curtail malignant transformation!

For the crimes of my ancestors, I would gladly atone:
The sins of my forefathers should burden me alone
But it all seems too much for a teenaged firelord to bear,
Though involving anyone else would truly seem unfair;

Please Join my Blue Spirit and Painted Lady fan club :)
