Why? That guy. The prince.

Kyrana Suzuka was being hauled off to the Boiling Rock. It was because of the crime. No. It was because of her dad. When Kyrana was born, her father was upset because he wanted a boy. A boy he could teach everything to. But he couldn't teach anything to a girl. What he did was horrible.

Her father was an assassin. He would kill and be rewarded. The Suzukas were a noble family and the Fire Lord often called for Kyrana's father, Hu Nan, to kill his enemies. When Kyrana was 2, her mother became pregnant. 3 months before the due date, Kyrana's mother, Eleanor, passed away. On that day, Kyrana's life had shifted.

Her father started to teach her his work. Since Kyrana was little, he taught her. Kyrana was taught to hunt and kill. He showed her everything. She learned how to read a person's face, archery, how to use a knife and sword, throwing spears, defense, hiding, stalking her victim, and her most powerful asset was her firebending. Her firebending was like no others. It was black.

Kyrana was a good kid. She got A's in school and was popular. All her teachers liked her. Then everything changed. One day her father had an assignment to assassinate a very powerful Earth Kingdom general. He never came back. Kyra, as her friends called her, started to fail and lost many of her friends and her popularity.

Kyrana had black hair and silver eyes. She was medium height and very pretty.

She blamed Fire Lord Ozai for her father's death and wanted revenge. Kyra finally understood the war now. It wasn't to show the Fire Nation's greatness, it was for power. So one day Kyra packed her things. She dressed in a black suit and grabbed her daggers.

Kyra left her home at 1 in the morning. She snuck into the palace and climbed the walls like a spiderfrog. She silently swung from the beams and dropped down in the hall. Kyra slinked along the walls and heard a noise. She climbed the nearest stone column and watched as a servant passed. Kyra shimmied down and slid through every hall until she ran right into an opening door. She fell on the ground with her hood down and she knew that this would be the end.

Prince Zuko was finally back home but he didn't feel right. Zuko woke up during the middle of the night to get a drink so he opened the door and he heard a clang noise. He looked behind the door and saw a girl with daggers and wavy black hair. The thing about her that made him stare was her deep silver eyes. "Guards! There's an intruder!" The prince yelled. He pointed his fist above her face as he waited for the guards. "One movement and you're dead."

Kyra stared at the prince's fist and looked into his eyes. She swung her leg up hitting Zuko's arm making his fire stream hit the floor. She did a summer-salt, jumped up, and began to run. Kyra ran into 4 guards and was captured. They put chains on her wrists, ankles, and neck. She then blacked out.

Kyra awoke in a room with flames and a throne. Fire Lord Ozai walked in and so did Prince Zuko. She tried moving her arms and legs but they were bound to the column.

"So, this is Kyrana Suzuka. Your father used to work for me. I never expected him to have a daughter." Ozai laughed as he sat in his throne. Zuko sat next to him on a cushion. "What are you doing in my palace?"

"My father is dead because of you!" Kyra yelled as she tried freeing herself.

"And I'm deciding if you should be dead too! Now tell me, why are you in my palace?" The Fire Lord yelled with rage and the fire got higher and brighter.

Kyra looked into his eyes with a piercing look. If looks could kill, this would certainly kill him. "To kill you."

Ozai laughed. "Did you really think you would succeed? I have guards at every corner! If my son didn't hit you with a door, you would have been killed by one of them." The Fire Lord got off of his throne and walked down to Kyra. He circled her taking in every one of her features. Then he stopped and faced her. "They say you can firebend."

Kyra looked into his eyes with an icy glare. "Yes."

"They say your firebending is black. Is this true?" Ozai said returning the glare.

"Why should I tell you?"

"Because I can kill you at any moment I want. Is it true?"

"Yes."

Fire Lord Ozai turned around and back to his throne. He walked up the stairs and sat in his royal chair. "Show me."

Kyra took in a breath and breathed an enormous amount of black fire into the air.

Ozai looked at the fire with satisfaction. "Take her to the Boiling Rock and bring her back only when she has learned her lesson."

Kyra was being unchained from the columns and dragged down the hall to the royal ship yard. She was thrown on a boat and taken to a prison cell where she sat for 3 days.
