The Fire Prince's Journal

Year of the Fire Serpent, Month of the Pig

Where do I start so much has changed. So much has stayed the same. I am still an exile, I now realize that I will never get my father's approval for anything. He does not love me. If he had he would have never scared me. Never banished me he would have recalled me long before this. I would be home. I would be crown prince. I would have fine clothing and fine food.

No I have none of these. My mother's gift was for nothing. For I will not be anything other then an exile in my people's eyes, well they might not see it that way but I am not so sure. I sit here in this small cramped apartment I share with my uncle which we pay for. Both of us work in the same tea shop, both of us serving people who would have once would have worked for us, if they were fire nation, they are earth kingdom subjects but that's all water under the bridge.

I'm not sure what I want to do with life. I really don't know. I though I wanted to go home. I thought I wanted my father. But I come to realize that home is where my Uncle is. He has been more of a Father then my father. He has taught me more of honor then my father has. He has cared more then my father has, or he would not have joined me in my exile.

Spirits, he got me to go on a date like a normal teenager. She was pretty. She was nice and she made me think of another girl that I know of. One with blue eyes who travels with the avatar, Aang; a water bending master who is very strong and so my opposite her and Jin have a lot in common. They both like to get me out of my comfort zone and push me just a bit. I really liked my date with Jin. She gives me hope that I'm finally healing enough to act lie a normal boy of my age and not some obsessive being with only one goal and no real plan.

I have a plan now. Heal up, find the Avatar, and help him win. I'm starting to realsie why he is so important. Why my Uncle was talking about balance. Our world is so off balance that its scary. I wonder if my Uncle would teach Aang firebending. He would, I know he would but could they accept us?
