  Summary

  Or: 5 Times Azula tested Mai's devotion, and the one time she didn't think she had to.

  "People want to be near greatness, near power. You can let them, but always for a price. Let them work for it, only reward those who are useful."

  It was an easy enough lesson, and Azula kept it in mind. So even while girls were swarming around her, trying to give her gifts or tell her gossip she might like, Azula knew there was to be gained if she found the right people.

  The girl who threw knives at her head was the first one who truly caught her attention.
