TO SAY THAT SANA HURRIED WOULD BE AN UNDERSTATEMENT.

No, she didn't simply walk—she ran. The delicate fabric of her robes clutched in her grasp, she sprinted toward the dining hall with a ferocity fueled by instinct. The royal family was waiting for her, and in her gut, she knew it was part of their twisted game. Why else would they have invited her after hours of silence? It had to be an intimidation tactic. Her pulse raced in sync with her hurried steps, though stamina was never her strong suit. Still, running got her there on time, but it left her breathless, struggling for air as she entered the hall, clutching at her chest.

When her lungs finally relented, she stepped into the grand dining hall, the weight of its silence almost as oppressive as the lavish decor. The familiar fire-themed extravagance lined the walls, every corner speaking of wealth and power. But it was the colossal portrait above the mantle that stole her breath once more. Fire Lord Ozai, towering and terrifying, his daughter beside him—a legacy of dominance and cruelty frozen in time, glaring down at her.

Sana turned her gaze away, unwilling to let the weight of their eyes crush her. Her focus shifted to the table where the royals sat, but she was not prepared for the sight that awaited her. It wasn't just the Fire Lord and Princess Azula, as she had assumed. No, they were accompanied by another, more unsettling presence. Her heart stilled.

"Mother? Father?" The words spilled from her mouth before she could stop them.

It had been years since she'd last seen them, since they had abandoned her without a word, not even reaching out after what had happened to her grandfather. She wasn't even sure if they knew the truth, if they ever cared. She was just a child when they'd uprooted their lives and left her behind in the capital, buried in the shadow of their ambition.
