   Summary

   Zuko is forced to confront his own morality when his father reveals a dastardly plan for the world. Things take a turn for the chaotic quickly when Ozai dies suddenly, leaving Zuko to figure out being Firelord on the fly. He is not even close to being ready, but he throws his full focus into the struggle to fix the world. Just when he is sure his life can't take another left, his past comes back to haunt him in the form of familiar blue eyes.
