Mist clings to the glass of our secluded estate, the steam from jasmine tea weaving through the quiet dawn. Hidden away from Republic City's judgment, the rules of the outer world do not reach us here. In the courtyard, Aang moves through his airbending forms—ageless, graceful, a meditation in motion. I watch from the veranda, the pull of the ocean tide a steady hum within my veins. The sound of heavy boots on stone breaks the silence. Zuko enters, the fire in him banked to a soft, rhythmic glow, his movements a mirror to Aang's flow. Air and fire, peace and passion—opposites in element and spirit, yet here they stand together, the two halves of a heart I've vowed to protect.
