   After Ylva's birthday the month went by like it normally did. Breakfast, Fire-bending practice (Ylva just watched during these practices.), weapons practice(Ylva being the only one attending these classes.), School, Lunch, free time, Dinner, Bed. Free time for Zuko usually included practicing fire-bending more, Hanging out with uncle iroh, hanging out with Ylva, and being taunted and teased by Azula. Free time for Azula was hanging out with Mai and Tylee (her 'Best Friends'), teasing Zuzu, and learning about the juiciest gossip in the moment. But free time for Ylva was completely different in her free time she was reading, playing her flute, creating some songs TO play on her flute, feeding the Turtle ducks, Hanging out with Uncle Iroh and/or Zuko, and practicing her Water-bending from scrolls Uncle Iroh got her for her birthday's. 

   It was a cloudy day, slightly chilly with a gentle breeze, and Ylva was practicing her Archery. She was trying to shoot some leaves that were falling out of the tree and managed to hit a 2/3 of the leaves she shot at. She was about to shoot another arrow when she heard someone coming towards her. When she looked behind her she saw, Azula running with a  huge smile on her face and continued to notch and aim the arrow she had in her hand. 

"Zuzu got himself in trouble with a general during the war meeting and now he has to fight an Agni Kai." Azula said practically bouncing with glee.

 "HE WHAT!" Ylva screamed while accidentally releasing the arrow in her bow and narrowly missing a small rabbit next to the tree, to turn around and look at Azula.

"Yup, tomorrow he's fighting an Agni Kai! Ooh I'M SO EXCITED!"

"Your sick Azula." Ylva said in disgust before grabbing her stuff and running inside to find Zuko.

When she reached Zuko's room she barged right in without knocking.

  "WHAT DID YOU DO! HOW COULD BE SO STUPID TO ACCEPT AN AGNI KAI!" Ylva started yelling.

 "Well the general was going to use fresh recruits as a distraction for the strategy and I spoke out of turn telling him it was wrong. So now I have to do an Agni Kai. Stop worrying Ylva i'll be fine i'm sure I can beat an old man."Zuko said trying to reassure the young girl glaring at him, fuming.

  "Oh yes because you can TOTALLY win against an old man who has fought in MANY BATTLES AND KNOWS MORE FIRE-BENDING THAN YOU! You'll have no problem at all!" Ylva said waving her hands in the air like a mad woman. 

  "Well it's not like I had a choice! I can't just back down!"

   "WELL THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE KEPT YOUR MOUTH SHUT YOU DUMB DUMB! WHEN YOU GET SERIOUSLY HURT DON'T COME CRYING TO ME!"And with that she stormed off to her room to grab her fans so she could let some anger off by beating up a tree.

  When she had finally calmed down it was night time so she went back to her room and went to bed. In the morning she woke up and got ready to go the arena so she could watch the Agni Kai. But in all honesty she didn't want to watch she was scared for Zuko and didn't want to see him get injured as he most likely would.

   She walked into the arena with Uncle Iroh and Azula and got seats in the front row and waited for everyone to arrive. As soon as the arena was full Zuko and his opponent came out not looking at each other and went to opposite sides of the arena and got into the starting position. When the Agni Kai began the two opponents turned around to face each other and when Zuko's opponent turned around Ylva gasped, in horror for instead of the old general Zuko had spoken out against it was Zuko's father, Firelord Ozai, he would be fighting.

  Zuko hit the ground begging for forgiveness and mercy, but his father refused and said something Ylva didn't hear for she was still in shock that their father would fight Zuko for something as simple as speaking out. And suddenly she saw flames, she watched as the flames hit Zuko in the face burning his entire left side, and then the Agni Kai was over and Zuko was transported to the infirmary. 

  Ylva ran to the infirmary as fast as she could and found Zuko laying down on a cot, unconscious.  She immediately grabbed water out of the air and wrapped it around her hands, she then put both hands on Zuko's face and tried to heal his burns as best as she could, for she was not the best healer at all. When she finished most of the burn had faded away but it stayed around his left eye. Leaving a scar that would never fade.

  Ylva sat down next to the cot and began to hum a newer song she had wrote, and had yet to write lyrics for. While she hummed her song she was looking at Zuko before she grabbed his hand and started to rub her thumb over it. She stayed there for a half hour rubbing his hand and humming before getting up and deciding to go to bed.
