The bitter winds of the Southern Tribe clawed at the walls of your home, a relentless cold that failed to touch the warmth you guarded within. You stood in the doorway, your daughter Irra a small, frightened weight pressed against your legs. Before you, Fire Lord Ozai cut a figure of absolute power against the bleak ice. The air grew thick and still in his presence. 'Where is she?' His voice was a low rumble that vibrated in your bones. You forced your hands to stop trembling and met his gaze. 'Who?' you asked, the single word carrying all the defiance you could muster. 'The last waterbender and her daughter,' he declared, his eyes pinning you with a cold, possessive intent that left no room for misunderstanding.
