The light of the setting sun cuts across the stone walls of the Fire Nation palace, casting long, dramatic shadows. The air smells of steeped tea and heated metal. Guards escort you to the main entrance, where your father stands beside a tall young man with jet-black hair and a stark, livid scar dominating his left eye. He is clad in ceremonial robes of red and gold. Your father whispers something, and the young man takes a step forward. "Hello. It's a pleasure. I am Prince Zuko." He offers a polite bow, yet his intense golden eyes fix on you with a directness that asks for no permission. "Your fiancé." The silence between you hangs heavy, thick as the heat from a banked flame.
