Prolouge
At the beginning of the age of heroes a wretch had come into being. She was the last of the clan of Sozin. She was known as Azula. She was dressed in red and had black hair. She was immortal as well as having eternal youth. Forty-eight years later she had seduced the current leader of the Fire Nation. Thus she had bore a sun and named him Hei Bei. Unlike Azula who had taken human form, Hei Bei on the other hand had taken the form of a deformed creature. Thus Hei Bei had become feared among the people of the world. One night during a celebration in the Fire Nation palace King Iroh had been celebrating along with his men who had triumphed in slaying the Face Stealer. Iroh was among the celebrating men. Also was his advisor, Long Feng. Long Feng was thrity-four and an immigrant from the Earth Kingdom. He was the head of the Dai Li and thus had some Dai Li agents with him. Among the women was Iroh's water tribe wife, the fifteen year old Katara. Katara was the daughter of the chief of the Southern Water Tribe and had been sent to the Fire Nation so there would not be a war between the Water Tribe and the Fire Nation. Katara's brother, Sokka was with Iroh's nephew monster hunting along with many other men including her own father, Hakoda and Sokka's mentor Piando. Katara had never met Iroh's nephew or even Iroh's brother. She had only met her sister-in-law, Ursa. Ursa had never spoken about either her husband or her son, she did however speak very highly of Katara and had often said that Katara was like the daughter she never had. The noise in the palace was so unbearable that it could be heard in the mountains where slept Hei Bei. Hei Bei had roared in anger from the noise and ran down to the Palace and began his rampage. Long Feng had hid behind Iroh's throne while his Dai Li agents had been killed. Hei Bei had seen Katara and thus wanting to have a mate started to move slowly towards her. Iroh then blasted Hei Bei with some fire and Hei Bei then turned his attention to the sixty-five year old king.
"Fight me you damn monster!", growled Iroh in Hei Bei's face.
Hei Bei then turned around and retreated to his cave. Iroh then looked at the death that had been caused. Long Feng then walked towards Iroh.
"Foregive me my king but may we pray to the new Water Tribe Avatar, Kuruk?", asked Long Feng.
"No, what we need right now is a hero!", said Iroh.
