The Crossroads of Destiny - (Zuko pov, ATLA)

"I Don't Need Luck, Though. I Don't Want It. I've Had To Struggle And Fight And That's Made Me Strong. It's Made Me Who I Am." - Zuko

"Water. Earth. Fire. Air.
Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years passed and my brother and I discovered the new Avatar, an airbender named Aang. And although his airbending skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone. But I believe Aang can save the world."

(Story from a character from Avatar: The Last Airbender, Zuko's point of view, with a small twist)

PREFACE - A scar is not just a mark. It's a symbol. A reminder. A very permanent and painful one. It solidifies the past, but the future is up to us. Some scars never fully heal, and some, and are just too deep to see.
