I will be revising all of the early chapters, you do not need to reread them to continue the story if you've read them already but some will have extra details and dialog. I'm not going to make a note of which ones are revised and which ones aren't but it should be pretty obvious, my writing was really bad when i started this story.


You sat under a cherry blossom tree with four vanilla scented candles in front of you. You closed your eyes and kept your breath even as you focused on the candle flames. As you inhaled the flames grew stronger and as you exhaled the flames shrunk. You could stay like this for hours. Lost in thought, in perfect harmony with nature and fire.

The wind made your silky red hair fly around your face, mixing with the cherry blossoms that are falling from the tree.

As you lost focus you opened your eyes and looked up at the sky, the sun was almost in the center of the sky. You stood up, not bothering to put the candles out just yet. You quickly looked around to find that your only company is a few birds.

You silently bent the flames from the candles into the palms of your hands. You began to sing a song that you heard in town. Then you started to dance. Your body moved to the rhythm of the song and the fire moved with the curves of your body.

Uncle has stopped your ship once again for another pointless reason that you clearly have no time for, needless to say, you're annoyed.

"Prince Zuko i stopped the ship because we're all out of tea" uncle said sadly.

See pointless.

You gowned loudly making your annoyance know to the entire crew.

"Patience prince Zuko" uncle said wisely "besides look at this unique little village, people from all the nations live here in peace and harmony" uncle said as the two of you walked off the ship.

"I don't care about this village or the people! I just want to find the avatar!" you yelled.

Uncle shook his head and mumbled some useless proverb. Then walked off to find a place that sold large amounts of tea.

You rolled your eyes as you started to wander around the village. A first it was hard to believe but there really are people from all the nations living here; firenation kids playing with earth kingdom and water tribe kids, adults of all nations and ages conversing. In a way it amazed you, though at your young age you've traveled around the world, you've never seen anything like this before.

Regardless of your amazement you wandered into the woods. Uncle liked being around people, but you just wanted to be alone. You walked with out a destination. You quickly became lost in thought, you were so preoccupied that you almost stumbled into a clearing that was already occupied by a beautiful girl with long red hair. She wore a short red skirt and a strapless white top that ended well before her belly button. You found yourself blushing from her beauty. You couldn't help but stare.

'She's so beautiful' you thought mesmerized.

The girl was meditating; she was obviously a firebender because she controlled the flames from he candles like you do when you mediate.

The wind blew causing the girl's hair to create a halo filled with silky red hair and cherry blossoms. Her pale skin seemed to glow in the soft sunlight.

'She looks like an angel' you thought.

The girl suddenly stood, which startled you so you moved to hide behind a dense bush.

The mystery girl looked around till she was satisfied that no one was around. She than began to sing and soon after dance. As she moved the fire from he candles moved with her body. She was amazing, you knew you had to talk to her but you didn't want to scare her. Because 'hey I'm Zuko, you're really pretty and I've been watching you dance' sounds really creepy.

Suddenly she stopped and looked at the bush you were hiding in, you knew she saw you because she looked right at you; her eyes grew wide with an unreadable emotion. You stood and took a few steps closer. You even held a non-threatening hand out towards her.

Your peaceful efforts were completely ignored; the beautiful girl turned and ran away before you could say anything. You tried to follow her. Which you were successful for a while but eventually you lost her completely. It was almost as if she disappeared into thin air, but your rational mind did not believe that so you decided that she was just insanely fast.

As you slowed to a stop you doubled over in an attempt to catch your breath. You stood up straight once again but looked down in disappointment. "I really wanted to know her name," you said out loud.

Disappointed, you made the long walk back to ship, it wasn't too bad and you made it back before sunset but you are very depressed.

"Prince zuko where have you been?" Uncle asked as you got on the deck.

"Nowhere, we're staying a few more days" you said tiredly. "I'm going to bed, no disturbances" you continued.

"Oh good! i knew you'd love this village" uncle said completely oblivious as to how tired and disappointed you are.

In your room you laid in your bed, thinking about the girl you saw in the woods. Tomorrow you're going to find her again.

Seeing that boy in the clearing startled you, no one besides your family has seen you sing and dance. As the boy approached you, you noticed that he was wearing fire nation armor. His golden eyes were kind. Your eyes widened slightly as you noticed the rather large scar over his left eye, but you couldn't help but notice his strong jaw line and his attractive features.

You suddenly became very scared and very nervous, he is wearing a fire nation uniform, it could be a raid. You turned and ran away as fast as you could. The boy tried to keep up with you but you were just to fast for him.

'I feel bad about running away from him, he seems interesting' you thought regretting running. You hid behind a rather large tree as the boy finally stopped chasing you to catch his breath.

"I really wanted to know her name" the boy said, there was a certain sadness in his voice. He than turned and walked away.

'He wanted to know my name' you thought as you sank to the ground sighing.

You thought about the boy's features. He was tall, obviously firenation with his traditional hairstyle and golden eyes, not to mention the armor. He seemed muscular. His eyes were kind and held a lot of pain and sadness. The only thing you didn't like was that stupid ponytail it looked ridiculous.

You stood and walked back to your house secretly hoping that you would see the boy again.
