Summary
In the royal gardens, there was a large tree with a turtleduck pond. Underneath that blooming tree sat the hunched, crying form of little Zuko. There was a reason he didn’t like his family’s visits to the royal palace: Fire Lord Azulon. It was no secret he was greatly displeased by Zuko’s apparent weakness in firebending and once again, he had been forced to perform in front of his grandfather. Surprisingly, this time it hadn’t been mother who had taken him into her arms afterwards, but father. Zuko had felt embarrassed and humiliated, especially when father had been harshly scolded about siring a weak firstborn when his wife was Avatar Roku’s granddaughter.
---
Fire Lord Azulon married his second son, Prince Ozai, to Ursa in hoped to have powerful heirs. When Zuko seems to lack the strength and ferocity of a firebender, Azulon is displeased and Zuko's self-esteem is fragile, even as a young child. Azula seems more like the result Azulon has hoped for and Zuko fears his place in the family, when his more powerful sister will start her bending.After another humiliation, it isn't Ursa who comfotrs Zuko. It's Ozai.
