[Post-comics Azula redemption. It gets MUCH worse before it ever remotely gets better. Buckle up for a long ride, slow burn, soul searching, and angst. So much angst.

Calmly she says, "The Dragon Empress died."

Summary
"I've got this idea in my head. A story I want to tell to people. It's not about me, but it could be applied to me, or you, or a lot of people. It's meant to be symbolic of a lesson I want people to learn."
Scratching the back of her head, Suki offers, "You mean like a parable?"
"A parable? Yes, I think that's it," Azula nods as she stares out into space. "The parable of the fisherman."
