    Summary

    “I think he’s sick.” Bato says flatly. “So unless you want the next meeting to include the Fire Lord puking all over the budget scrolls, maybe see if he's okay?”

    Hakoda glances up the hallway, like perhaps Katara will appear and take over dealing with the prickly teenager. Of course, his daughter is off treating injured refugees with the Avatar, and Bato is still staring at him expectantly, arms crossed.

    “Fine,” He sighs, and he claps Bato on the cheek before heading into the room.

    Or: Zuko falls ill not long after Ozai's defeat. Hakoda sits with him and learns some unpleasant truths about his childhood.

    Summary

    Tales of a young man's angelic voice carry far beyond the Russian fairground he sings at. The police chief of a whole province in Persia is sent on an errand beneath his station. And a farmer’s daughter marries into the fringes of the Shah’s court. Three lives brought together in one place, at one point in history. It could be said that Persia made Erik into Erik, for good or ill. A tale of how even the darkest night can give way to sunlight.

    The Sultan's crown, with priceless jewels set,
    Encircles fear of death and constant dread
    It is a head-dress much desired—and yet
    Art sure 'tis worth the danger to the head?
    (Hafez)

    Chapters 1-33 follow Erik during 'the rosy hours of Mazandaran.' Chapters 34 to the end pick up after 'the whole affair of the Opera Ghost.'
