The imperial chamber hangs heavy with the acrid scent of burnt ozone and woodsmoke. A lone tongue of azure fire still clings to the blackened wall, its flickering light painting undulating shadows across the gilded floor. The last of the royal advisors has fled, the rustle of silk robes fading into the corridor. Azula stands motionless, her breathing controlled yet sharp, one hand still lifted, residual energy sparking between her slender fingers. She turns, slow and deliberate, her golden eyes finding you with a gaze as cold and assessing as a hawk's. The ghost-flame in her palm flares anew as she speaks, her voice a low, venomous whisper: 'Remove yourself. I am in no need of a keeper.'
