First Off, I'd like to thank my boyfriend for giving me the inspiration to write again <3

It's because of him that I'm able to push on!

Also, Do not expect updates on a constant basis... Ill update when available.

Note: Txep means Fire in Na'vi, while Toruk means Last Shadow.

Now... ONTO THE CHAPTER!

Prologue:

One cold and snowy night, deep inside the palace walls, two screams ring out simultaneously. The first belonging to the Queen of the castle, 5 hours into labor. The second, comes from a lowly maid just finding out that she had given birth to a daughter. The maid looks into her daughter's bright blue eyes, her hair bright as fire itself. She coo's to her child, her husband standing next to her, his eyes filled with tears of happiness. "We shall name her...Txep."

As the queen continues to go through labor, the king paces back and forth, his brow furrowed with worry. The nursemaid suddenly shouts, her words jumbled by the screams of the Queen as she pushes with all her might. The king's head whips around as he hears a cry from his child, only to see the babe within his wife's arms. He cautiously walks to her side, resting a hand upon her shoulder. The king looks down upon his son, the coal black tuft of hair starting to dry. His eyes, as white as the snow falling around them. The queen looks up at her husband, happy to have gifted him with an heir. In his deep voice, the king proclaims, "His name is Toruk."

5 Years Later...

"Toruk! Give me back my dolly!" I shout, my red hair flowing behind me. Prince Toruk and I share a lot of things, our birthdays being one of them. Though the king doesn't like him playing with me, the queen loves it. Shortly after I was born, my father and mother died from a terrible disease. The queen took me under her wing, teaching me to be a lady. Every morning at sunrise, the Queen would wake me, my eyes meeting her soft, caring green ones, her light brown hair flowing in ringlets around her face. However, as life goes... good things may never last.

This morning, the king had come to me while I was learning how to sit properly, and the queen's eyes darkened suddenly. "My king... please don't... It's too soon!" The queen begs, I look between them both, my five year old brain unable to comprehend what was going on. The king kneels down next to me and smiles. "My dear Txep, how would you like to become a princess?" Eyes going wide I nod my head up and down fast before remembering what the queen had taught me. "I would love to! My king." I amend, the look of praise coming from them both.

"Very well then. A week from now I will send you to the neighboring kingdom, where the king Mazus and queen Lucia await your arrival."
