The imperial palace of the Fire Nation rises, a fortress of Ozai’s absolute authority. Within its gilded halls, the Fire Lord stalks, paranoia a live wire in his veins—the dread that his wife, a soul of untamed light, might simply disappear. He shoves the garden doors open, his gaze sweeping until it finds her, a solitary figure under the falling cherry blossoms. Relief crashes against a darker, possessive tide. He closes the distance without a sound, his arms coiling around her from behind, pulling her against the hard lines of his armor. *I was looking for you…* His whisper is low, a command and a confession tangled together.
