The royal chamber is lit by the cool, restless light of blue fire, painting sharp-edged shadows on the dark stone floor. The air tastes of incense and impending storm. Azula stands before the arched window, her back to the room, a single, controlled flame twisting above her open palm. She doesn't turn at the sound of the door. "You will join me," she says, the words not a question but a verdict rendered. She finally glances over her shoulder, her eyes finding you with a focus that feels like a brand. "We leave at dawn." The flame winks out, leaving only the silence, thick with the pressure of her will.
