Ashes in the Ocean pg24

Told you guys I was looking forward to this update.
So, yes, so far, this is my favorite page. It took a little tweaking, but I got everything on here looking much better than it was originally. Which is cool, since lately drawing faces from profile view has been giving me trouble. And I just love the tension and the drama...And of course Katara slapping him is just awesome in itself...for some odd and possibly sadistic reason.

Anyway, Zuko gets bitch-slapped, and at first is angered, as the old Zuko would be...But hearing her beraid him causes him to remember his mistakes, and how wrong he was before...bringing him out of his initial rage.
Basically, he recalls that he deserves it! lol.

I had to get a song for this one, but it took a little hunting, but I think I finally found a really good one...Not only for this little section of the story, but for kind of a general theme song/Zuko anthem.

"Breaking Inside" by Shinedown [link]

I caught a chill
and it's still frozen on my skin
I think about why
I'm alone, by myself
No one else to explain
how far do I go?
No one knows
If the end is so much better, why don't we just live forever?
Don't tell me I'm the last one in line
Don't tell me I'm too late this time

[Chorus]:
I don't want to live
To waste another day
Underneath the shadow of mistakes I made
Cause I feel like I'm breaking inside
I don't want to fall and say I lost it all
'Cause baby there's a part of me to hit the wall
Leaving pieces of me behind
And I feel like I'm breaking inside

Out here, nothings clear
Except the moment I decided to move on and I ignited
Disappear into the fear
You know there ain't no comin' back
When you're still carrying the past
You can't erase, separate
Cigarette in my hand,
Hope you all understand

I won't be the last one in line
I finally figured out what's mine

[Chorus]

I won't be the last one in line,
I finally figured out what's mine

[Chorus]

So, there you go, page 24. Again, sorry I'm late with these updates, school is a harsh mistress sometimes, especially when all of my classes are 2 and a half hours long. D:

Keep shipping Zutara, you crazy fans!

And I should really try an attempt at coloring that one picture that I lost on Photostudio again. I love it too much to not submit it. D:>

I'll work it in in the next few weeks.
