[3 months later]
The dagger was forged and it was a pretty good one too, one was created from the hardest metal in the world, and the other was created from an unknown black metal or a rock buried deep inside the earth.
'They are ok, I guess.' I thought to myself as I ideally looked at them.
"WE ARE HERE! PUT OUT THE STEAM." The Captain said as the ship halted.
"I guess, we are here," I mumbled as I got off the ship with my army behind me, all under my command.
*Sigh*
(3rd POV)
Kuro sighed as he looked at Azula waiting for him with her arms folded under her boobs.
'She grew in the past few months.' Kuro said as he looked at her stature.
Azula had an unusually happy look which more seemed like a smirk than a smile.
"Kuro," Azula said as she looked at him her happy expression unchanged.
"Princess Azula," Kuro said as he looked at her for a few seconds before he patted her head.
"You got a stronger, good job," Kuro said as he made the stern Azula blush and made everyone almost get a heart attack since no one was able to look her in the eye no less pat her on the head like a big brother.
"G-get your hands off me, Kuro," Azula said with a glare even though she was blushing.
"Ok, Anyways where is Zuko? I thought he would be here." Kuro asked meanwhile Azula's expression took on a hatred look.
"He is with the dragon of the so-called west," Azula said sarcastically.
"Guess he loves the old man, let's go I need to report to the Firelord about something," Kuro said as he looked at her.
"I was here on behalf of my father since he wanted you to come to him as soon as possible," Azula said as she started to lead to the palace and Kuro followed beside her
Kuro only nodded in response, "We separate from here, you may go to your camps or families or homes." Kuro said to the army behind him as they all yelled "YES SIR." In response.
"So how was the earth kingdom, I heard you were attacked by an army of earth bender refuges," Azula said as a crazed expression took upon her face.
"Nothing special, more like sleeping or dead bodies were coming towards me," Kuro replied with an uninterested face, as the two continued ahead.
"I see," Azula said as she placed her finger on her lips, in ponder.
Kuro glanced at her, 'She's completely different from the original series, even though her craziness remains, but she became somewhat... Docile, is this the famed butterfly effect?'

After reporting to the Firelord and talking business with the generals and admirals, Kuro went to his room to change and to get some rest after taking a bath.
"Should I do it?" Kuro mumbled to himself as he looked at the Quest.
[Quest: Prince Zuko is gonna be banished because of challenging his father's decision, to kill Ozai and kill the Royal Family and take over their throne as the new king of the fire nation.
Time Limit: 17 Hours
Reward: iPhone 15 Pro Max]
Only to chuckle as he looked at the reward, who in the right mind would-

Kuro stood in a dark place as he looked at the dead bodies, one seemed to be the same as of the fire lord Ozai and one seemed to be Zuko's then Azula's, and then Iroh's, and then Ursa's.
All the Royal families were dead, their heads chopped from their bodies and decorated on the walls.

Kuro opened his eyes as he was drenched in sweat.
"What a dream," Kuro said to himself as he drank a cup of water near his bed
'To kill for an iPhone.' He thought as he closed his eyes again.

...
"I can't sleep." He got up and went outside of his room, while he walked through the hall as he turned the corner he saw someone crouching almost as if sad.
"Princess Azula," Kuro said as he looked at the person crouching.
The person looked up and saw Kuro looking at him with his same hollow black eyes.
"Kuro." She said before she looked down.
*Sigh*
Kuro sat beside her as he looked forward.
"Can't sleep?" He asked breaking the silence.
"No."
"Me too."
.
.
.
"I see." She said after a long pause.
"What's wrong, Princess?" Kuro asked.
"..."
She didn't reply.
'Women are weird.' Kuro thought as he sighed, the only thing he knew to console women was to hug them or listen to their problems and their problems would cease to exist, 'So I only need to be a listener, huh?'
Kuro grabbed the princess by the waist and placed her between his arms.
Meanwhile, Azula didn't say anything but apparent steam was coming out of her head.
"If there's anything you want to say, I am all ears, Princess Azula," Kuro said next to her ear.
Azula, if it was someone else, she would have killed him in an instant but weirdly she didn't feel like retaliating or doing anything,
'It's warm.' Azula thought to herself as she felt herself almost drifting to dreamland.
'Her father would make her the sole heir to the throne after he banished the prince from there on her personality would take a shift completely, and he would train her personally and would teach her everything he knows until she learns everything, until she would become a military strategist and a monster and a tool to make things possible in an instant.' Kuro thought to himself as he got lost in his thoughts not noticing the already asleep Azula.
