Zuko was banished from the fire nation because of his father who sought weak and unworthy in Zuko because he refused to fight his father which lead his father to do a horrible discipline on him and now he has a permanent burnt scar on his left eye and now he has to find the avatar to regain his honor for his fathers love and respect
right now he is just all alone outside the fire nation reflecting as he walks on his own as he camps in a forest with his unfinished tent and a camp fire as he meditates near it trying not think of destruction but he heard something near the bushes he got up and looks at the direction of the sound
“Who’s there?…” he said softly but annoyed that something had interrupted his meditation he already thinks that someone is gonna ambush him as he was ready to put up a fight using his fire bending skills
