The destruction had settled, leaving behind bliss skies and peace. The Fire nation was no more and the world lived in harmony together again. Everything felt lighter, like a weight off their shoulders.
Aang defeated the Firelord by taking away his bending and now Zuko would become the new Firelord.
Ba Sing Se was returned to the earth kingdom name and Iroh opened up his own tea shop, living happily in the peace.
The palace walls didn't entrap Iskra anymore, they welcomed her. She didn't feel disgust with each step she took, she felt pride because each step reminded her of what the Fire nation stood for now.
Toph helped her realise the importance of embracing both aspects of her life, embracing the earth and the fire. The peace and the pain.
Royal gold circled her green robe, running down to the floor in patterns of flames that were so utterly beautiful. Her black hair was pulled into an elegant, loose bun with a gold rod stuck through to keep it in place.
Iskra's hands slowly pushed open the large oak doors, allowing her to sneak in silently. Her eyes lit up at the sight of Zuko, then they softened. He groaned, struggling to put his robe on from the pain.
His lightning strike had been bandaged and the healing process had begun; which meant he was in pain, a lot of it.
"Need some help?" Iskra smiled when he instantly lit up at the sound of her voice.
They walked towards each other, his hand outstretched so she could pull his robe over it. Her hands connected around his waist, tying the knot and softening any creases before standing in front of him.
"Have you thought about what I said?" Zuko asked as her hands rested on his chest.
"I have," she nodded, her mouth twisting into a grin.
"And?" Zuko leaned forward, their noses brushing as she laughed.
"I don't want to rule with you, your the Firelord and although I've accepted that side of me my heart belongs to the earth kingdom," Iskra explained, fixing the front of his robe.
Zuko flattered slightly, her answer not what he excepted. He wanted her to join his side as they changed the Fire nation for the better but part of him knew she wouldn't want to.
"But, I will happily join you in every meeting, accompany you to every Firelord duty and be by your side for everything that happens in the future," her face broke out in a smile.
Zuko gripped her waist, spinning them around as she laughed loudly, her head throwing back. He put her down again, smiling lovingly as their lips met in a passionate kiss.
Slowly they departed, smiling at each other as she giggled.
"I can't believe I get to call the Firelord my boyfriend," Iskra teased, tapping his chin.
"Your husband soon," Zuko reminded her.
The bet they made years ago where if they were both single by 18 stuck. Everyday Zuko would count down the years and months till they were both 18 and now they were.
"That's is if I say yes-."
Her tease was cut off by loud laughter when he started kissing all over her face and neck. Hesitantly, she pushed him back, cupping his face with a smile.
"Ready to become Firelord?" Iskra asked genuinely.
"Mhm, soon," Zuko kissed her again.
