Prologue

Zuko and Mai received word of the tragedy. They knew this moment would come but hoped that it would have not come so early. Now they sit in the throne room. This time it was Zuko sitting in the dragon throne that only days before, fire lord Iero had been in.

"Zuko it was not your fault," Mai tried to tell her husband, but of course he would not listen.

"You don't know what it is like. You can't understand that it was my duty to protect him. Both of them. Iero was like a father to me. Aang was like a brother. I just don't understand why they had to happen in the same week as the birth of my daughter." Zuko was right. The death of his uncle had left Zuko to rule over the fire nation. If that didn't his life hard, Aang left after hearing that there was another air bender in the earth kingdom and had been killed by the Di Lee. A new war was arising and the years of peace that they had had in the years of the last air bender was now gone.

The only thing that had gone right in the last few days was the birth of his daughter Zuri. He already knew that she was going to be a very powerful fire bender. A prodigy like his sister had been. Mai had said that there was something more to it.

And they were both right. Zuko had a dream the night before she was born. In the dream he saw avatar Rokku and avatar Kioshi and Aang. Then he saw a girl with them. A young girl about the age of 16 dressed in fire nation clothes with her black hair half lying down and the other half tied up in with the royal family crown of the fire nation. She looked a lot like Mai and a little too much like Zuko (or at least that's what he thought). All the past avatars bodies went inside of the young girl's body and her eyes started to glow as she looked at Zuko.

Now, as he held his child in his arms, he knew that she needed to be protected now that the cycle of avatars was broken and once again a fire bending avatar was in the world. People would be searching for the new avatar and she would found and used for war like Aang had been. He would not let that happen. Not this time.
