Killing Boys ━ Zuko [ATLA]

❝As cruel as the world may be, it remains to be our choice how to answer: do I be cruel in return, or do I be kind in its stead?❞

There was a time when Lian wanted to believe in fairytales, that there was good in everybody and that happily-ever-afters existed for those who had gold in their hearts. But it's so hard to believe in such silly notions when she was never meant to be the princess that needed saving, the one who deserved the castles and the praise and the adoration. After all, no one has ever heard of saving the villain's daughter, the unwanted bastard, a daughter whose beautiful face couldn't even be loved by her own mother for it reminded her of the terrible man who forced this child upon her.

And she was determined to prove that not all monsters are capable of terrible things, even those like herself with dead eyes who don't even blink at the sight of bloodshed. Even though she was raised by a monster who believed a warrior was far better than a loyal daughter, he never expected her to use the very sword he forged for her to be used against him. But it seemed as if he had forgotten that monsters are not born, but created by the wicked.

Even if she is fighting for the good side, fighting in what others would say is the losing side to the war with a group of people whose only motivation is hope, they seem to have forgotten that she is still just as much of a monster as before with her own selfish reasons and destiny. Because taking down the Fire Lord is not her destiny, not the happily-ever-after to her story, but taking down her own demons in the form of her father, someone who made her a monster long before anyone else could say otherwise.

But it seems as though people have forgotten to tell Zuko that she is not someone worth saving, that pretty girls like her kill boys like him for fun.
