"It feels weird here, what happened to Khaenri'ah?" Azula asked.

"Gone, I brought you back not only because you deserve it but also because I missed you. I need you to help me fight a war. Against the heavenly principals." The Tsaritsa spoke.

"Why?" She stopped.

"Because I know you can defeat them and you won't be alone. The harbingers and I will be there too. Some of the most powerful people will help us. You are my sword, my power." Tsaritsa explained. "We will help you reach your full potential again and no one can hurt you."

"I knew when they first came that they would end the world." Azula held the coat to her.

"I'll have you with Capitano. He's the best I have. Not really sure about socially, but he's a good guy." Tsaritsa smiled.

With that the two walked back to the meeting hall to find Capitano still there but Dottore had left. Azula assumed he was wanting his coat back.

"Captain, this is your new pupil. I expect you to get her back up to strength." The Tsaritsa said.

"Yea ma'am." He nodded.

"Pantalone will pay for you to get a new wardrobe. He sure loves to spend money." Tsaritsa laughed.

"I'm guessing he is filthy rich." Azula smiled.

"Very much." Tsaritsa nodded. "Perhaps I will get Columbia or Arlecchin0 to go with."

"The knave has returned to the house of the hearth." Capitano spoke.

"Columbia it is." Tsaritsa said before leaving again. Capitano took Azula to Pantalone's closet residence.

"I see, a new wardrobe would be beneficial. Old, ancient clothes are, how does one say this politely?" Pantalone's looked at Azula's current attire.

"You don't." Columbia stated. "Cheoria boutique."

"Agreed." Pantalone added. "Only the best clothes will be bought me. Take her to Fontaine. Pay with this." Columbia was given a rather large bag of mora. The three set out towards Fontaine.

"Can you use your fire in human form?" Columbia took it alone herself to find out as much about the sovereign as she could.

"Yea I can. I seem like someone of power. I suppose a, what are they called? The thing humans receive from the archons." Azula answered.

"Visions." Columbia assisted.

"Yes like a vision, I seem like a holder to the untrained eye. I suppose a fake would be a good decision." Azula nodded.

"We can do that." Capitano added. They soon arrived at Fontaine's port they would have to take a aquabus to get to the court of Fontaine. When they did get to the court of Fontaine many people started to stare and whisper.

"Two fatui harbingers, why are they here?"

"That's the captain and the damselette."

"Who is with them?" Many voices were heard. It was mid day so the boutique would still be open. They arrived soon enough and whispers were still heard.

"Wait out here." Columbia said.

"Excuse me?" Capitano replied.

"Trust me." Columbia smiled. The two women entered the boutique and noticed no one else waiting. Luck was on their side.

"Fatui, what do owe the pleasure?" Chiori crossed her arms.

"We would like to get her some new clothes." Columbia motioned to Azula.

"The knave told me of your arrival, I have already prepared a look."

"We can see if it fits and you can be out of here today

"We can see if it fits and you can be out of here today."

"Good." Columbia said. The new clothes fit a little loose so Chiori took it in at the waist and bust. "Perfect. What do you think?" Columbia had put Azula's hair up in a bun with a few pieces pulled out to add character to the hair style.

"I like it. You have an extraordinary talent." Azula looked at Chiori.

"Time to go." Columbia said and started walking towards the door and set the bag of mora on a work table.

"Thank you." Azula thanked Chiori and followed the harbinger. The two girls emerged from the store. Capitano was standing by the door like a giant statue.

"Off we go." Columbia hummed. Azula liked how much more comfortable modern clothes were. Into the time of Khaenri'ah clothing options were limited.

"You oh look nice." Capitano commented.

"Thank you." Azula followed Columbia. While they were walking back to the Palais Mermonia, Azula handed Capitano his coat which he draped over his shoulders once again. The walk back was silent beside Columbia humming.
Azula liked the aesthetic of Fontaine. It fit well for the nation of justice. They quickly returned to Snezhnaya and met Pantalone once again.

"I wonder how they would have acted if those harbingers showed up?" Pantalone looked at the two. "Can't say Chiori has no talent. She can make a fennec fox look like a million mora. Here take this." Pantalone gave Azula a fake vision that displayed pyro.

"Oh." Azula looked at it for a moment before attaching it to her waist. "What now?"

"You work with me to regain your strength and power. Control it, save it, become who you once were." Capitano said.

"When does that start?" Azula looked at him.

"Tomorrow."
