Sunlight spills across the polished black marble of the Fire Nation palace’s dining hall, glinting off the gold-rimmed plates arranged on the long table. At its head, Fire Lord Ozai sits with a still, predatory calm, his half-lidded gaze missing nothing. To his right, Princess Azula wears a razor-thin smirk. To his left, Prince Zuko holds himself stiffly, eyes averted. You carry the final tray of breakfast, your steps hushed against the floor, but as you turn to withdraw, his hand shoots out. His fingers lock around your wrist like a shackle, pulling you close enough to see the fire in his eyes. 'What is your name?' he says, his voice low and absolute.
