The Phoenix King

I sat on my throne in the Fire Chamber, the flames before me was burning blue due to its **** heat. I had accomplished the dream of every Firelord since the **** of Avatar Roku and I was now the undisputed ruler of the world.

A week ago, on the night of the Comet, the avatar had attempted to take away Firelord Ozai's firebending but things went awry. It was at that same moment, that I possessed Ozai and granted him powers, the likes of which the world had never seen before. I easily overpowered the young Avatar Aang and took his bending away. He was now rotting in a dark cell and waiting for his time to die. My disgraceful son, Zuko, also shared a small and damp cell alongside his traitor uncle.

My brother, Iroh, had nearly succeeded in liberating Ba Sing Se from the rule of the Fire Nation but once more I used my powers and defeated him and his White Lotus allies. With my powers, everyone in the world didnt just obeyed me... they worshipped me.

I could leave the door of the Avatar's prison cell wide open, but he would not even consider escaping and defy me. Such was the case with his teenage friends.

I may not be as cruel as Ozai but I could still feel his bloodlust. With the world at heel, there was no more battles to fight, no more glory to win. So I had to seek other ways to sate his lust.

From all over the world, men of power offered their daughters to become my concubines in the hopes that I would bestow upon them great favor. But as beautiful as they were, I needed someone to rule by my side.

Someone who was worthy of becoming my queen and capable of giving me an heir to replace my dishonorable son, Zuko.

And I had eyes on the perfect candidate to replace my dearly departed wife...
