Hey, everyone! So this is the beginning of my Zuko-centered fanfic, and I hope to continue with it. It's not a matter of doing so, it's just when. I've been really busy (I mean High School is hectic!) and have taken a break from it for a while. But I will hopefully get back to it soon! Within the next couple of weeks. Please read and review, all comments are appreciated! :D

Prologue

A voice echoed from the war chamber. A strong, young voice, declaring what he thought to be right. His words were uncalled for, yet indeed right on all accounts. But it was still a challenge. And the challenge was accepted.

So the crowds talked in hushed, anxious whispers as the boy pleaded. 'Forgive me! I didn't mean to dishonor the throne, or my only father. I am loyal to the Fire Nation. Surely someone can see. Forgive me.'

But his father did not listen.

"You WILL learn your place."

A cry rose above the flames. The cry of a boy who had lost his honor.
