Quotes 

• Prince Zuko : [to Iroh]  You sent this, didn't you? I found the secret history, which, by the way, should be renamed the history most people already know. The note said that I needed to know about my Great-Grandfather's death! But he was still alive in the end.

  Uncle Iroh : No. He wasn't.

  Prince Zuko : What are you talking about?

  Uncle Iroh : You have more than one Great-Grandfather, Prince Zuko. Sozin was your Father's Grandfather. Your mother's Grandfather was Avatar Roku.

  Prince Zuko : [Zuko looks shocked]  Why are you telling me this?

  Uncle Iroh : Because understanding the struggle between your two Great-Grandfathers can help you better understand the battle within yourself. Evil and Good are always at war inside you, Zuko. It is your nature. Your legacy. But, there is a bright side. What happened generations ago can be resolved now, by *you*. Because of your legacy, you alone can cleanse the sins of our family, and the Fire Nation. Born in you along with all the strife is the power to restore balance to the world.

  [Iroh opens a secret compartment, revealing Roku's crown, and offers it to Zuko] 

  Uncle Iroh : This is a royal artifact. It's supposed to be worn by the Crown Prince.

• Prince Zuko : Wait. I need to ask you something. What do you remember about our Great-Grandfather's history?

  Azula : Oh, Zuko, it's so strange how your mind works. Fire Lord Sozin began the war, of course. He spent his early years secretly preparing for it, but he was as patient as he was clever. He famously waited for the comet, later renamed Sozin's comet, and used its power to launch his full-scale invasion of the world. In the end, he died a very old and successful man.

  Prince Zuko : But, how did you die?

  Azula : Didn't you pay *any* attention in school, Zuko? He died peacefully, in his sleep. He was ancient.
