The fire war renaissance

Chapter 44: You, me and her, part one

Yo yo, it's been a while, eh? Well, I made sure I didn't give you another nine month break and what do ya know, I didn't.

And so here's the beginning of Part Five, it's starts off a little ways from where Part Four left off. But, Maiko shippers, I know you've been starved of some Maiko lately but this chapter has some lovely Maiko-ness that I'm sure you'll all love.

But before we get started…major housekeeping time:

First of all, for those of you who didn't catch it over the break, I actually did update the prologue and bonus chapter I promised you guys. It's all in a new story called "Fire War Renaissance: Bonus!" It's got a four chapters already, and since the Kataang is scarce in this chapter, those die-hard Kataang fans can still get some Kataang if you read those chapters as well. They're all very kataangy. So rock on…

Also, I've finally got the hang of my tablet and photoshop and have posted a little bit of art based off the story (just stuff on Azula). Also, I've started a lovely project called "Kataang: the Manga". The title pretty much says it all, the plot line and whatnot are still changing, and I hope to have the comic up and starting by the end of this year, but I've posted a few promos of it on my DeviantArt, so check them out. The link is on my profile.

And lastly, I've finally gotten the whole rest of this story planned out. And currently the running total number of chapters for FWR is 65. Of course, this is subject to change into more or less, but rest assured it'll be something near that number. So we're currently on chapter 44….sniffle…seems like this story is wrapping up quite nicely.

But it's not over yet! So, enough of my blabbering, onwards to Part Five!

Chapter Forty-Four: You, Me, and Her, Part One

It always felt like Zuko was away from the palace for so long every time he left. He felt a little guilty for leaving his mother with all of his work while he was away but she claimed that it was good for her since she was so out of practice.

Zuko and Mai didn't stay at the Jasmine Dragon too much longer after Azula arrived, and even though Azula hadn't been around the rest of the group for quite some time she claimed that she wanted to go with Zuko back to that palace when he left a few days later.
