He had thought he had done the right thing. He stood up against his father, went against everything he had believed in for years and confessed the truth to him. Even after his father yelled at him for his confession- "Get out! Get out of my sight right now if you know what's good for you!"- he stood his ground. He told Ozai how he was no longer going to follow his orders, and how badly the world hated them. He thought he made the right decision to announce that he was going to join the avatar, and stay behind after the Eclipse to hear what his father had to say about his mother. He could only let the information sink in, learning the truth on why his mother left. For what happened next, he thought he had been ready. But in actuality, he was wrong. Before he knew it, lightning was shot right at him, and managed to catch the lightning in time. But while he redirected it, the lightning went through his heart, shocking his entire body. All he could remember was blacking out with his father looking at him with a smug grin on his face.

"You will learn respect, and suffering will be your teacher."

Those very words rang out through Zuko's ears, as he slowly began to regain consciousness. Slowly, yet surely, the ringing would fade away as the sound of nature took it's place. He certainly didn't remember blacking out here, he was in the underground bunker. He knew that his father would show him no mercy, he wouldn't have given him a chance to live. Where am I? The Crown Prince thought, as he forced himself to sit up with a grunt. For a moment, as Zuko got aware of his new surroundings, he also got a glance of his new appearance. When he looked down at his hands, he saw paws. This wasn't right, surely he couldn't be an animal right? Small panic began to rise in his chest, before his ears pricked up at a twig snapping out in the distance. Quickly, the male jumped into a defensive stance, his eyes narrowed into slits. Though, his left eye was already narrowed. With the left side of his face covered in a burn scar, that was exactly identical to the one his father gave him, his amber eyes would scan the new territory. He had heard footsteps further in the distance, his ears weren't playing tricks on him. "Who's there?" The hotheaded mountain lion would yell, "Show yourself!"

Tracking with new avatar themed character xD

It had felt so long waiting, for the stranger to reveal them self to him. He knew that someone was there, and if they didn't show their faces soon, he wouldn't hesitate to firebend. But as his patience dwindled, the so said stranger padded into view. Almost immediately, the mountain lion caught their name: Hana. But he also caught another thing, she was telling him to calm down. "Don't tell me what to do!" The hotheaded prince snapped at her request, his tail lashing behind him. He wasn't going to let some strange animal tell him what to do. He was confused, he had no idea where he was and his plan to aid the avatar failed.

So it was clear why he would be so frustrated at himself. One single mistake lead to several consequences, which happened to be him being here in SunClan territory, as a mountain lion. He only wished he had his Uncle here with him, he would have known what to do. For a moment, Zuko would not say another word, his gaze moving onto the next SunClanner who decided to arrive. He was not sure who the Kitsune was, just like he wasn't exactly sure who Hana was. He might have heard her name, but that did not make her any less of a stranger. After a few moments, Zuko decided he would introduce himself to the two SunClanners, with his full titles.

"I am Zuko, Crown Prince of the Fire Nation," The scarred firebender proclaimed, his tail swishing behind him. He did not bother to mention that was what he used to be. He was no Crown Prince anymore, but they didn't need to know that. A few moments after, he thought what else to say. He wasn't sure where he was, but perhaps these two did. "Where am I?" He demanded them with a snap, looking between the two with a frown.

Zuko's ears would prick up in the direction of Sarangerel, which happened to be another voice that he did not recognize. As he looked over at her, he knew that she must have recently arrived- as originally only Hana and Angelpaw found him. At first she did not seem to recognize the name of the Fire Nation, considering it sounded like she requested for him to say what he was the Crown Prince of again. "The Fire Nation," The firebender would snap quickly, just before she began to explain where on Earth he was. "I am the Crown Prince of-" He began to repeat himself, before getting cut off when Sarangerel spoke up. The hotheaded mountain lion fell silent for a moment, his tail swishing angrily behind him.

SunClan? He has never heard of SunClan before in his entire life. It's always been the four nations: The Fire Nation, Earth Kingdom, Water Tribe, and Air Nomads. He never heard of a clan before, a group apparently full of animals. Though, the name did strike a familiarity to the Ancient Sun Warriors- a civilization located in his home that died out centuries ago. He didn't say a word as Sarangerel continued to speak, giving Zuko his options. His first option was to join SunClan, an idea that did not even come into his mind. His second option was to leave, and return back to where he came from. There was two problems with that option. One, he was in a land he couldn't even recognize, he wouldn't be able to turn around and find his way back. Secondly, he wouldn't be welcomed back- he technically betrayed his nation and wasn't even truly himself anymore. He guessed he had to stay here, in SunClan that is. There probably wouldn't be another group that would offer him food, water, and a place to stay. "Fine, I'll join SunClan," Zuko said with a frown, his eyes narrowing as his gaze shifted back onto Angelpaw.

This kid was offering him food and water. Zuko wasn't one to ask for help, he generally wanted to do things on his own. "No- I don't need your help!" He began to snap at Angelpaw, before stopping abruptly when Angelpaw began to ask how long he has been wandering around. "Not long- I don't know, I'm just confused!" The hotheaded Fire Nation Prince said, confusion and anger in his eyes. He would look even more confused when Skylar spoke up, the mountain lion raising an invisible eyebrow. "Your what?" He wasn't even sure what that exactly was!

These SunClanners didn't seem like they would stop coming. Before he knew it, there was a new person making their way over to him. They got right up and personal to them, with their tail wagging and all. "It's far away," Zuko would begin to explain, with a growl inching into his throat. Nome's next comment only made Zuko more upset- she truly had no idea what he had to go through and how that made him feel. Before they knew it, the mountain lion's ears flattened to his head. "You tell me! I'm not even sure how I ended up here in the first place!" He yelled, completely blowing up with anger, beginning to smoke with anger due to his firebending. As he literally fumed with steam due to anger, he managed catch what Marina said to him. That only made him steam more, with a sizzling sound. "I am the Crown Prince!" He snapped at her, clearly not liking the comment they made. They had no idea how hard it was for him- to go through all that misery to learn that his father couldn't give him his honor, and that he had to learn it all on his own.

Very recently, I made a character based off of Zuko from Avatar: the Last Airbender. I set Zuko up to Day of Black Sun part 2, but instead of redirecting Ozai's lightning correctly, he makes a mistake. So Zuko died in that instant, and was reincarnated to a mountain lion with the same exact scar. He has complete memories and was never able to reconcile with his Uncle Iroh, which he deeply regrets.

So I thought it would be neat if his Uncle Iroh could also be reincarnated as an animal, with complete memories up to the same time period, and joins the clan Zuko is in(SunClan). As Zuko does need his Uncle around, he was more of a father than Ozai ever was.

I made Zuko 1 and a half years old, so Iroh would most definitely be older than him. c: Zuko is also a big cat(mountain lion), btw, if you need some reference when choosing his animal body!

Would anyone be interested?

It did not take Zuko very long get settled in his room, which was in the bottom level of the Pyramid of Solis. He had no belongings with him to unpack, he did not have his painting of his Uncle Iroh or his dual swords. He was more upset about the former, he deeply cared about his Uncle Iroh, and wished he could have seen him one last time before waking up in SunClan territory. He never got to apologize to his Uncle, never got to reconcile with him. For all he knew, his Uncle could think that he was never planning on apologizing for everything Zuko has done to him. His Uncle was always there for him, and how did Zuko repay him? By stabbing him in the back. It was what Zuko regretted the most, and he will never forget it or let it go. After a bit, Zuko decided to get out of the pyramid and go into the territory. He had to get these thoughts out of his head, and he had to check if he lost his firebending, his inner fire.

Not shortly after, the scarred mountain lion found himself arriving at the Land of Flames. Zuko, not aware of the entire territory and the names of the landmarks, didn't have the slightest idea of it's name. He wouldn't have realized the irony of him heading to the Land of Flames, to see if he still had his firebending. Getting to an open spot, Zuko would take a deep breath, closing his eyes to focus on his firebending. A few moments after, his eyes would snap open as leapt into the air, kicking one of his hind legs. Fire almost instantly blasted into the open air, the mountain lion landly swiftly on the ground. So he was a firebender, even as an animal! Oh it felt great, to being able to bend again! Thankfully he didn't loose everything when arriving here, though he basically lost a lot of things compared to having his bending. With a smirk, the Crowned Prince of the Fire Nation would continue to practice his firebending into the open air, unaware that others were nearby.
