   Summary

   The gang is adjusting to life in Ba Sing Se when an unsuspected discovery lands them in custody of a surprisingly well-mannered Zuko (though his temper is a nasty thing). Exiled, powerless, and with a ridiculously large bounty on his head, Zuko has to decide how he's going to let the rest of his life play out. Trust grows gradually through trial and error, through war and laughter, and maybe just maybe through a belonging Zuko never imagined he'd feel again.

    

   "If I am lost, light my path.

   If I falter, temper my spirit.

   Let my flame burn steady, not wild.

   Let my fire bring warmth, not destruction.

   Let me walk in balance, with honor of my own making."
