This story is a sequel of “zuko finally breaks down” (http://avatar10.proboards91.com/index.cgi?board=fanfiction&action=display&thread=1203398614)
Roku’s advice
Zuko tries to get up to talk with his long dead great grandfather but stumbles and fall to his knees. Unable to get up because of the pain jolting through his legs when he tried to move them. Roku motioned for zuko just to remain sitting. There was a long silence and it seemed both were waiting for the other to start talking. But it was Roku who had broken the quiet first.
Ruko started speaking, “why do you think I am here?”
Zuko responded, “I don’t know, because the other times I needed advice you were never in my sight”
Ruko looked a little taken back but still continued the conversion, “That’s because I had entrusted iroh with the job, but what puzzles me is why you are out here training and not sleeping.”
Zuko looked in awe, as this was his first time seeing his great grandfather, “I can’t sleep” stated with a small smile on his face.
Roku said with a stern voice, “there is more to it than that, is there not?”
Zuko simply said, “Am I really that bad of a liar?”
Roku obviously a little upset at that this question was a question asked by his great grandchild, “Why would you even want to be able to lie, but that is not why I am here” Roku no longer upset, “Why can you not slumber peaceful, and what is the other problems that you are now faced with?”
Zuko started out a little slow, “Well I hm…, I can’t sleep because of these nightmares I have been having, and I ...”
Roku interrupts, “What are these nightmares you speak of about.”
Zuko now talking normally, “Well the fist was about my mom.”
Roku seems to be thinking about something, “o yes, ursa, my little granddaughter” Roku now in a good mood, “what happen to her in your dream?”
Zuko replied, “She was asking why I couldn’t save her, and why I couldn’t protect her.” Zuko now with a small amount of water now about to leave his eye.
Roku knowing that this was a topic not to be blow off spoke in a soft voice, “You were a small child when that happen and there was nothing that anybody could do, she did what she did out of love.”
Zuko let a single tear roll down his check, “so it was my fault she is dead, because if she didn’t love me, she would..” zuko now really crying, “she would still be alive”
Roku said, “You are just like me, even if you aren’t the avatar.”
Zuko looked up. Zuko thoughts racing through his head, how can I, the one who brought such pain to people be anything like Roku. How can I, the one who made it his lifes mission for three years to capture the avatar and bring him back home where he would most likely be executed or remain in prison for the rest of his life share anything in common with the avatar who at one time managed to delay the war.
Ruko continued, “You put to much pressure on yourself, its not you who did this to my beloved Ursa, but your father who brought this on to her.”
Zuko used his shirt to wipe his tears off. Now looking a little moved by his great grandson sense of responsibility at such a early age.
Roku asked, “do you feel any better”
Zuko responded, “ya, I do”
Ruko, “what is your next dream about?’
Zuko looked down, “ Its about how I betrayed uncle iroh..”, zuko started sobbing again, “he said that I never thinks things through”
Ruko just laughed a little, and so did zuko
Zuko, “guess he was right about that”
Ruko, “He was, but you are now on the right side, you now have the chance to do what I failed to do, bring peace to the world”
Zuko, “thanks for talking with me”
Ruko, “what are your other problems”
Zuko, “Well I have been asked to train sokka with his sword”
Ruko, “that is a good thing, it shows that he accepts you”
Zuko, “yea but if I mess up teach him or the avatar, it wouldn’t just be bad for me, it could mess up the balance of the world forever.”
Roku, “just as I and anag were always suppose to be avatar, you were always suppose to be anag’s teacher, u will do u good job”
Zuko, “but the biggest problem isn’t that, it’s the constant reminders from katara that she hates me and that we will kill me if I even look at anag wrong”
Roku, “I will talk with her and the others about that. You just try to go back to the camp.”
