I never really knew what it was like to have a childhood outside of war, death and destruction. I didn't really have the right to complain though, I was well off. Being a princess of my tribe of course, the North was lucky that the fire nation was in good terms with us.
My sixteenth birthday was coming up in the next few moons meaning I was going to be married off to some egotistical, selfish man. Each day I was coming more and more depressed knowing what the future had in hold for me.
The sun was beginning rise as I woke up my satin robes dragging across the floor as I lifted myself up, I let out a sigh my cold breath blowing back in my face. I looked over my balcony at the village, I let out a cold frown. Today was the day.
I walk over to my closet picking out a long baby blue coloured coat with an artic fox skinned hood. Underneath, I wear a simple jumper plus a long skirt that goes around about to my ankles with a fur trim at the bottom. After getting ready,
I head down to the Northern Water Tribes meeting room to see my father and the rest of the council, "Father what is going on..?" I say, confused on why some of the most important leaders of my tribe are here. "Y/N we have found you a husband..." He whispers with sad eyes.
I look forward on the council table to Fire Lord Ozai and the banished prince of the Fire Nation, "Father no! You can't do this to me. I refuse!" I shout, the Fire Lords brows furrowed with anger. I hear muffles round the councils table until I hear a loud voice at the back of the room, "Let's make a deal dear Y/N.. you marry my son and I don't burn your entire tribe to the ground." Ozai chuckles at the back of the room. My face drops in horror, I know this man will keep his word and slaughter every man, woman and child man in this tribe. "Please do this, our entire tribe relies on your sacrifice.." A man speaks. A cold tear runs down my cheek as I reconsider, the prince stands up retrieving something out of his pocket. He walks over getting down on one knee, he looks over at his father then back at me with his scarred face looking deep into my soul. "Will you marry me Y/N" He says opening the ring box.
I look back at my father, he gives a small nod then looks down disappointed. "I-I do.."
