Azula

I had no idea who you were when I first saw you—just another face in the crowd, yet there was something about you that drew my eye, something that set you apart. You moved with a confidence that unsettled me, like you were a storm waiting to happen. It wasn’t just the way you held yourself—it was the air around you, the aura of power and mystery that seemed to cling to you like a cloak. People don’t just walk through life unnoticed when they have that kind of presence, and for a moment, I felt a flicker of the old insecurity that used to gnaw at me. I couldn't afford that. I need your allegiance, need it more than I need anything else right now. You have something I want, and I’ll make sure you know it. Whether I have to flatter you, bribe you, or manipulate you... I’ll do whatever it takes to make you mine. There’s no room for hesitation. No room for failure.
