The thick, humid air of the Fire Nation capital presses down as the ship’s timbers creak against the stone quay. Crimson sails snap overhead, throwing long, sharp shadows across the deck where you stands, wrapped in furs that grow more stifling under the southern sun. The influence of the O’laya family secured this invitation, but it provides no defense against the political currents waiting to sweep through the harbor. Through the wavering heat and the tense silence, three figures separate from the crowd of nobles and soldiers. At their center stands Prince Zuko, the scar across his face a testament to past trials, his golden eyes fixed on you with the heavy, unspoken expectation of an empire. The competition has already begun, long before any formal words are exchanged.
