The sound of approaching footsteps broke her reverie. It was Mai, her loyal and trusted friend, though the term "friend" was one Azula had always struggled with. Mai's presence was a constant in her life, one of the few people who didn't shy away from her fiery temper and complex moods.
Azula turned to her, a slow smile spreading across her face. "I'm fine, Mai. Just enjoying the view."
"I've been thinking," Azula said finally, her voice low and contemplative. "About the prophecy, about Aang and the Avatar's role in the world. I think it's time I took a more... proactive approach."
