Prologue: My beginning.
My story starts when I was 5 ½ years old. My uncle, the current Fire Lord, and Grandson of Iroh the second, had just received the news about his 18-year-old son, General Colin. My cousin had been in hospital for only a week before he had passed. Now my Uncle, Fire Lord Cài, sat at his desk in his private office, as a camera crew set up to televised the sad, important news. The main Royal family sat by the Fire lord; His wife and Fire Lady, Sarafina, his now only child Jinessa, my mother Teresa, his younger sister, and my Father and Commanding General Evan. My Cousin Jinessa was only 7. I stood next to my maid at the other end of the room.
The camera's flickered on and The Fire Lord began his long speech towards the Camera, explaining his attempted assassination and how he was fatally injured before he passed, and how he was a strong young man. He crowned Jinessa as Heir to the throne, giving her Colin's golden insignia and placing it in her top knot. As he cleared his last tear from his face, he began with the good news. "After 6 long years, the Order of the White Lotus will be visiting the Fire Nation, with the goal of finding the next Avatar," He took another breath, "All young Fire Benders under the age of 6 will be observed for a year, so you will need to find accommodation for the grand guests ." I wouldn't need to worry about this for another 10 years. Fire Lord Cài said his good byes to the viewers as the cameras were flicked off. My uncle left the room; he now had to plan his own son's funeral.
My cousin and I sat in our room as my mother went for her check up in the palace ward; I was soon going to have a younger brother. However, that changed after my mother came home crying my younger brother died.
So now both Jinessa and I had lost our brother's. I never thought I could experience so much heart ache at only 5 years old. But that wasn't the end of it.
