It's like Ozai has Zuko on a leash, if you saw Ozai the prince wouldn't be far behind. Zuko would either be right next to him with his hand on his shoulder or right behind the Fire lord with a steal tight grip on the Fire Lord's cape. Ozai had Zuko wrapped around his finger.

In a way Zuko has become more timid and quiet, he doesn't have that attitude that he once had. Zuko feared everyone and everything, this had worried a lot of servants and it has especially worried Iroh.

Ozai isn't dumb, he is aware of everything he's down to Zuko and what it has caused. It gives him this giddiness, like a child on Christmas opening their last present and it actually being the toy they've been asking for. Zuko is just a mere toy to Ozai now. The Fire lord is like a demon, he's feeding off the fear that lays in Zuko, making him more powerful.

Everyone can see what Zuko has become, but they don't se what made him that way, no one sees what's behind the closed door of Ozai's bedroom, and Zuko is was to scared to spill. It irks Ozai, all this to find out who was teaching him firebending, but he soon gave up realizing that Zuko was never going to speak so he just did it for the fun of it now. Ozai wouldn't ever touch Zuko's face, the lovely face that reminds him of his beautiful wife.

{I'm sorry for a long wait and short chapters. I'm having a hard time to get inspiration for this fanfic, yes I will keep writing but you should expect updates to be slow and maybe short.}
