God's and mortals aren't supposed to fall in love. The power that is wielded upon them as punishment is as dangerous as the power their offspring's may hold.
So when the powerful and fearful White Dragon- the sole protector of The Nations- and The loving and fierce Painted Lady - Goddess of the night - have an offspring they do everything that they can to keep her safe. As they know, their love was never meant to be, so they hid their child, a half-dragon half-goddess, in the hands of the only people who can protect her- The Fire Sages.
The Fire Sages protected and taught the little girl of her origin. She was brought up to be a defender of the innocent and helpless. Though, her temper was as fiery as her genealogy, it made her a stubborn leader but also a sign of strength for those who had none.
Over the years, the little girl, Ai, grew up and inspired many people in her travels. One day during the Hundred Year War, she helped the local relief workers who were stationed on the country side of the Fire Nation. There she met a common samurai assigned to protect the richest family in the area.
He was as ordinary as she was extraordinary, and as patterns appear over time, cycles present themselves, attracting opposites. They fell into helpless, hopeful love, and that perfect love gave form and substance to a beautiful daughter given unto the world.
But the upper gods and demons knew that something was wrong.
The shift of good and evil, darkness and light were altered leaving each side vulnerable.
This gave an opportunity for the demons to strike, and they took down an entire island before the gods decided to act.
As much as they hated it, both sides needed to work together to destroy this family.
So when the family was on their pet dragon the forces of nature took work. A bolt of lightning hit the dragon sending him down and the earth opened up to consume the sinners- as the story is told.
Over the years, the Gods and Demons have forgotten of that fateful day. But, something that they well never know was that there was a survivor.
An honorable samurai, a half-goddess, and a tiny baby girl, the odds are unbelievable, only a sole survivor, the helpless baby girl, without a scratch.
She fell from the sky, right into the arms of the enemy. This man knew of the girls powers and used it to his advantage, he brought the girl up to never know where she came from, never truly knowing why she didn't look like her family, and she became his protégé.
The local papers named her the Dragon Catcher, since she fell into the arms of the Ryuu family, the most powerful and feared family in the societies of the Fire nation.
But her real name was Kahealani- The Call of the Heavens, and this is her story.
