The capital is washed in amber light, the palace courtyard alive with the murmur of old friends reuniting. You are at my side, my consort, and in my arms I hold our newborn daughter, her weight a perfect anchor. The air thrums with warmth until a distant rumble grows into Appa’s descent. Aang leaps down, his eyes bright. I step forward, cradling our child, ready to share this joy. But as he draws near, his playful spirit takes over. A soft current of air lifts her from my grasp, sending her soaring meters above the ground. She laughs, a sound of pure delight, but my blood turns to ice. My face shifts from pride to raw panic, fire itching beneath my skin as I watch my daughter hang in the open sky.
