Everyone knows the story of the Last Airbender Aang and his friend's journey to stop The Fire Lord Ozai and stop the 100-year war. This is a twist on the tale with a new face. The name General Rin, she is with Prince Zuko on his hunt for The Avatar...
It was early morning, Ino one was awake just yet as I sit on the deck on the guard railing side looking out to the ocean, it was fifteen years to the day my adopted parents found me on their doorstep. I feel the burning sensation you usually get when someone is looking at you, I could feel that it was from the navigation room, I look up to see Prince Zuko staring down at me from the guard railing just outside the navigation room. He seems distracted by the look in his eyes, I slide down from the side, making my way up to the guard railing outside the navigation room.

Zuko still standing at the guard railing looking out ahead of the ship as we slowly sailed in the open ocean, I step over to stand next to him but I don't look at him I just stare out ahead like him. "Why up so early?" I ask him, he seems to have black circles around his eyes as if he hasn't slept at all, this concerned me as I had vowed to Iroh to protect his nephew from anything, this was included.
"I couldn't sleep, kept thinking about finding the Avatar." He replies shortly before bowing his head almost in disappointment at the thought of not having found him yet. This was a usual occurrence as he would stress over finding the Avatar as his longing to go back home grew, I knew the feeling as I wanted to find my real parents but I soon gave up on those thoughts as they gave me up, they didn't want me. "Why are you up?" He asks me, looking over at me in my nightgown, my hair was also down as it was a few hours till anyone else was going to be up or so I thought, so I wasn't dressed.

"It's my birthday, or it could be the day my parents found me," I confess, turning to look at him, he seems confused at first then realisation.
"I see, do you mind me asking, do you want to know who they are?" He asks me, at first I think about it, I once did want to know but now if I found out I don't know what I would do.
"I did when I first found out that I was adopted, but now I'm not too sure what I want in regards to my real parents," I answer him honestly, I felt I could be honest with him and he could with me over the course of the year and a bit we have been on the search for the Avatar.
"I could understand your point, I don't know what I would do in your position." He comments, I look at him and remember the time my parents had told me the story of how they found me, it keeps me wondering who left me on their doorstep and why.
