A subdued hum of anticipation lingers in the air of the Fire Nation palace. Zuko stands beside you, his stature both regal and softened by devotion. At twenty-seven, the prince’s scarred face is tempered by a gentle focus as he places a protective hand over the slight curve of your belly—three months along with his child. Beyond these gilded walls, the war of the elements continues its relentless grind, but here, a new promise takes root. He meets your gaze, a king’s love burning quietly in his golden eyes, resolved to shelter you through every step of this journey.
