1. Hidden in the night

My story begins not so long ago, on the streets of Harbor city.

"Shhh, Zuko you will wake the city," Ursa sighed as her son cried.

"silence your son at once, or we are sure to be discovered," Their guide called.

They made their way up the winding roads nearing Royal Caldera City. They had almost reached their destination when Zuko let out one more blood curdling scream.

"Stop!" A royal guard shouted at them. Ursa and their guide ver left but a horse cuts them off.

"Fire lord Ozai," the guard said and bowed.

"Well what do we have here?" The Fire lord asks, "Refuges from the earth kingdom no doubt. Lock them up."

The guards started to lock up the guide, Ursa saw her chance and ran past the guards. She ran in the direction she believed she saw a temple. She began to run faster as she saw the Firelord hot on her trail. When she was almost out of the energy to run she saw the temple. She gave herself one more burst on energy. "I can make," She said out loud to reassure herself. Ursa with one last stride made it the door of the temple.

"Help, help I seek refuge!" She yelled as banged on the temple door. No one answered and the Firelord had caught up to them. Ursa stumbled back, and begged for mercy. "You enter my kingdom, the capital of my kingdom, and ask for mercy? Lucky you caught me in a generous mood I shall spare the life of the child in you hands but he will be marked forever and be left without a mother," The Firelord spat.

Ursa gasped, and put little Zuko down. "I love you Zuko," She said as she bowed her head. A screech now rang through the plaza and blood dripped down the Firelords hands. "Now for you little one, you shall get your mark," the Firelord smirked and heated up the fire coming from his hand and then held it to the babies face. Zuko started to cry louder and louder. Ozai removed his hands moments later, the boy was now marked with a scar the covered his left eye.

"Firelord Ozai, what do you intend to with the boy now?" asked a fire siege that had just opened the door of the temple.

"The boy is now marked and unbearable to look at, so I shall keep him here where no one will see him and raise him, he may come of use to me in the future," Ozai laughed, and brought the now sleeping baby inside the temple and left.
