Prologue
I have been through hell and back, I have been brutally beaten and scarred. The war has ended, Aang is dead; my family, friends, and I were captured and shackled to the stone walls of the Fire Nation prison. But, when Zuko had earned his honor back again by deceiving us and getting us captured we have all suffered. Everyone around me died slowly and painfully, but out of everyone I suffered the most. I am still alive, but I now live alone in this cruel, merciful world that the Fire Nation now controls. Every day I am beaten tortured out of mind and they try to break me, but I won't budge. They already took away every one that I held dear to me and that is the cruelest punishment any one can give. Living in a world, with you, all alone, prisoner to those who you hate the most; I still fight against them; I don't break under any of their tortures. I haven't shed a tear for over five years in this life, and I won't start now, because now I will break free, I have a plan and I will kill those who killed my family and friends. I am stronger, tougher, and more deadly, because now I have rage on my side that will destroy them.
My name is Katara and I am not the pathetic, sad girl I once was. I am the worst nightmare to those who have mutilated my life; and my first victim, Lord Ozai.
