    Summary

    “How many catowls do you have to see to think it’s strange? Before you’d notice something was wrong?”

    It had taken Zuko all of two seconds to come up with his answer, a scowl on his face and fists clenched at his sides.

    “One. Catowls aren’t native to the Fire Nation: only the Earth Kingdom.”

    In the moment, Zuko was so sure and so strong-willed that it only made sense. But he was wrong.

    The answer was three catowls. The first wouldn’t seem real. After all, he’d never seen it before, so it was probably a fluke. The second would be real, sure, but he’d assume that would be the first catowl, and would think that maybe it was migrating. The third catowl would finally tip him over the edge. Because catowls didn’t travel in threes.

    There was only one eclipse. Somehow, he had lived three others in the last few days.

    The question was, Why?  What did the spirits want him to do?
