Chapter 1
Fire Lord Zuko sat in a carriage looking out through the small crack the curtained window left. He was being escorted to a small celebration. The celebration was for the treaty he had signed just a week ago with an Earth Lord. The war had ended but, many were still cautious of the Fire Nation. The Treaties were a way to calm the citizens. The Earth Lord had asked Zuko to go to a celebration to honor the treaty and Zuko could not refuse, for he wished them to trust him.
He sighed, truth be told, he didn't want to go. He had just come back from a journey last night. He had been visiting his friends Aang, Katara, Sokka, and Toph. Sense the ending of the war, they never got to see each other any more. They were all just to busy. Well, mostly Zuko. He was the Fire Lord after all. Aang too, being the Avatar. They had to deal with a lot of the Nations problems now to restore peace.
He watched the houses of nobles pass by his crack in the curtain. They were almost there. He straightened himself, for he was in a slouched form before. He did not what to make a bad first impression.
The carriage stopped. A servant soon opened his windowed door, and bowed as Zuko rose and exited his carriage. Before him, stood a man in fancy green robes with delicate designs of swirls and zigzags. He also had a large Earth pendant around his neck. Beside him was a beautiful woman in a green robe with a hair style not of this world. Behind them, was a huge mansion.
Zuko bowed to them and they returned the bow. The servant left with the carriage, a guard stood beside Zuko.
"Greetings Fire Lord Zuko. I hope your trip to our house was fine?" the Earth Lord had a high voice.
"Yes, thank you." Zuko replied.
"This is my wife Kina."
Zuko bowed, "Greetings."
Kina bowed slightly back.
"Please, come in. The Celebration will take place in just about an hour. My men will escort you and your guard to a room for you to wait. You are free to move where you wish in my village."
"Thank you."
"Of course."
They were escorted to a large room at the back of the house. When the men left, Zuko's guard turned to him.
"Sire, is there anything you need?"
"No, thank you."
"Then, I will stand in post outside your door." he bowed and left.
Zuko looked out his opened window of the room. The mansion stood on a hill overlooking the village. He watched as the villagers scrabbled to finish with decorations and such, for the celebration.
Suddenly, an upside down face appeared inches from his.
"Waaah!" Zuko stumbled back in shock.
A child hung from the roof lip outside looking in on Zuko's room. She had big brown eyes and a pretty white and light gray robe on. She had black pants underneath, for her being upside down made her robe fall.
"It's the Fire Lord!" she said happily, "are you evil? The last one was. Though, you don't look evil."
"No, I am not evil." Zuko said, not really startled anymore.
"Oh, Akane said you weren't. But I didn't believe her."
"May I ask who you are, young one?"
"Oh! I'm the daughter of the Earth Lord here! He didn't want me to come out because he's scared I would offend you."
"Yet, here you are."
"Oh, I just wanted to know if you were evil! Akane was right."
"Who's Akane?"
"Oh! She's the girl me and my friends play with. Though, could you not tell daddy about it? He doesn't like that I play with outsiders."
"Umm.."
"Oh! I have to go! I gotta go tell Akane she was right!"
And with that the child jumped down and ran down the hill towards the village.
Zuko closed his window then sat at a desk in the room to await the celebration.
After about an hour the Earth Lords men escorted Zuko to a carriage to go to the celebration.
