Prologue: Taiya the Fugitive
Taiya. The name resounded through the Fire Nation like a bell. Taiya the murderer. The seventeen-year-old girl that killed her firebending master and then fled like a coward to avoid punishment. The girl that every available regiment in the Fire Nation was out looking for.
Wanted posters depicting a slender girl with long black hair and fiery golden eyes were everywhere. It was the face of an innocent looking young woman that had committed a terrible crime. It was the face of a fugitive.
If she was found she would be killed. The Fire Lord wanted her dead and Taiya knew it. She accepted this and she decided to do all she could to prevent it. If they wanted her dead they'd have to find her first. One thing was certain though: She could never go back.
