   Summary

   His father traces his scar one last time, then leans back, his long silk sleeves brushing against the filthy straw. “Would you like to come out of this cell, Zuko? Your room at the palace is waiting for you. You can take a bath. Have a fine dinner. Put on clean clothes. There is a meeting of the ministers tomorrow afternoon, and I would be so glad if my heir would attend.”

   Maybe the executioner really is waiting, and this is all a trap.

   But, maybe not.

   Zuko has always been a survivor.

   And he has been in this cell long enough to know that no one is coming for him.

   OR:

   The reign of Fire Lord Zuko lasted for three years before his father’s coup.

   That was two years ago, and now Ozai is ready to let Zuko out of prison. After all, a Fire Lord needs his heir – assuming that heir has learned his lesson.
