Ursa confronts Ozai and Piandao over their intent to train Azula: a sudden obstacle rises in the relationship between the Prince and his wife, just as the young Princess Azula grows more disillussioned and distant with her mother after she makes unfair choices regarding her education.
In Ba Sing Se, Ursa recalls these heavy memories, but the meal she shares with Piandao will be interrupted when Jeong Jeong, Iroh and a messenger from the north arrive with news that will shake the Fire Lord's wife to her very core...

Azula and Rei return to the Princess's bedroom to learn that someone infiltrated the room, seeking Hotaru. The Princess lies in wait in her room on the next day while Rei and Song go to the Temple, for the younger girl's sake: after praying for her father's soul, a figure of her past will make an unwanted appearance.
Ozai makes a difficult request from General Shaofeng. Once more, the Fire Lord spirals into memories: this time, he recalls the day Azula asked to be trained by Piandao, and the first cracks that shattered what once had appeared to be the perfect marriage...

Fic-to-Art #39: Gladiator's ELEVENTH Anniversary! (+ BONUS: Fic-to-Art #36...)
And here we are! March 26th arrived and I did not forget about it, but I paid for my ambitious madness with my wrist and forearm. Somehow, I finished my intended pieces on time, but I do not advise that you ever try to make 9 artworks in 3 days. No, sir. Bad life decisions, that's what that was... but this fic, as anyone knows, moves me to do things I never thought possible, starting with writing the fic itself!
It's really crazy every time it hits me that I've been doing this for as long as I have. It's been a complicated, chaotic journey, with its many ups and downs, but ultimately, it has been our journey. For some people, this is just one more fic in the pile: for me, it's been the best adventure of my life so far. Everyone who has ever been touched by Gladiator, who has ever cherished this story, who's looking forward to the big conclusion, who wants to see how the chaotic war is going to end... you're all part of this crazy adventure along with me, and I can only thank you for joining me.
This year, I had no time to make as big a project as I usually go for. Thus, I did a sort of free-for-all edition of Fic-to-Art over at Patreon and challenged myself to draw as many scenes as I could, out of their suggestions. I even sprinkled in a few scenes I impulsively wanted to draw because I loved writing them or because I look forward to writing them... and this is the result!
In order, the scenes are as follow:
Sokka combing Azula's hair, a common occurrence throughout the story.
Azula watching over a convalescing Sokka in the Chase of Jeong Jeong arc.
The outcome of Sokka's final battle in the Superior Gladiator League, namely a moment where Sokka and Azula more or less gave away their relationship's true nature to the public by raising their hands towards each other...
And now, spoiler territory! Some were by my choice, some by Patreon requests:
An important moment shortly after Sokka and Azula reunite.
Azula confronting her father, with a LOT of backup.
Xin Long's long-awaited freedom.
The aftermath of the final battle.
The full-blown confirmation of their relationship to the general Fire Nation populace.
Sokka, Azula and Hotaru's first night together
And the big final one is ACTUALLY Fic-to-Art #36 but hahaha woops I didn't post it here on time because it was super hard to finish since I had a LOT of things going on... but here it is now! :'D it's a glimpse VERY far into the future of this fic's timeline!
Alright, that should be enough talking and explaining. Some things are vague, some things aren't, but ultimately I really hope you guys will be looking forward to the scenes you haven't seen yet, and to Gladiator's eventual outcome.
So now... with all this being said and done, I'm gonna go take a trip down memory lane and watch my Tenth Anniversary video once more! Feel free to do the same thing if you'd like to commemorate the fic, I think it's a good way to experience Gladiator all over again, hahaha.
Thank you if you read all this, and if you read all THAT: 5 million word landmark, here we come! Thanks for hanging out with me across ELEVEN years of Gladiator!

As the north recovers from the battle, a wounded Sokka is asked to explain his circumstances and situation to the leaders of the Northern Water Tribe. All hopes of aid for the Gladiator's campaign are severely dampened by the Water Tribe's current circumstances.
After accompanying Sokka back to the healers' ward, Yue joins Kino as he searches for the letter meant for Anorak's family. Katara finds them before long, as do Yue's three children, all of whom come as a surprise to the weary foreign warriors, providing a moment of respite for the pair while Aang remains scarce...

The Northern Water Tribe reels from the damage caused by the Fire Nation's attack: Princess Yue succeeds at finding the healers just in time for them to help save Zuko, who, despite Katara's best efforts, appears to be at death's doors.
Sokka, also wounded, is left to recover under Yagoda's care. Anguished by his actions, Aang takes off on his own to find survivors, and before long, a guilt-ridden Kino follows his example. Alone, shocked and shaken by the harrowing experience of that battle, Katara will find solace in an unexpected place...

Katara keeps up with the northern waterbenders, collaborating with their techniques to stop the Fire Nation's army from breaking into the city. After Zuko makes a grand move in the defense of the Northern Water Tribe, an area of the wall, further away from their group, is finally breached.
Zhao's insulting words over Azula, as well as Hotaru, push Sokka to the edge, but try as though he might, he fails to claim Zhao's life. The injured, disgraceful Admiral manages to retreat to his airship, and after Sokka fails to climb aboard to follow him, the Admiral levels the machine's weapon straight at the Blue Wolf...

The violent clash between Sokka and Zhao is not as direct and straightforward as the Gladiator initially expects: the spirit water's power provides Zhao with an advantage that takes Sokka by surprise, allowing the firebender to briefly escape from his wrath.
With Princess Yue providing what information she can, the group sets out from the Oasis: Katara, Zuko, Kino and Yue will join the frontlines' forces, in a bid to stop the invasion of the Fire Nation army, while Sokka and Aang fly together to track down Zhao...

In the oasis, a brave princess attempts to defend the Moon Spirit: Zhao's initial sacrilege by Tui and La's pond catches Yue off guard. When all seems lost for the northeners, the arrival of unexpected allies may just be the sole salvation possible for a terrified Princess Yue...
