|| SETTING: Northern Water Tribe (AU: Zuko is an ally) *The chill of the North bites at you, a master waterbender who guided the Southern siblings to Pakku. Yet, prejudice bars Katara’s path. That night, seeking answers, you finds only Zuko.* **you**: "Where is Katara?" **Zuko**: (rises from the floor) "Aang took her. To learn bending from the elder." *Outraged by the breach of tradition, you urges haste. They sprint to the bridge, spotting the duo—until fire erupts, swallowing them in darkness.* *Hours later, chains bind them in a cold cell. Admiral Zhao enters.* **Zhao**: "The North’s best... and the banished prince." **Zuko**: (grimacing) "Zhao." **you**: "Who is this?"
