Everyone who lived in the palace had been moved into an underground bunker by word of Fire Lord Ozai. Due to the invasion led by the warriors of the Southern water tribe, Earth Kingdom colonists, and Foggy Swamp dwellers, anyone royal had to be placed underground for the kingdom's safety.
"I know I've made some bad choices, but today I'm gonna set things right." Zuko said, kneeling in front of a painting of his mother.
Soana had kneeled beside him, staring at the painting of Fire Lady Ursa. To the princess she looked to be kind, gentle, and compassionate. Soana wished she could have personally met Zuko's mother before things took such a turn.
The princess and the prince got up from their kneeling positions to turn towards Reid who sported Fire Nation armor confidently. His long hair had been tied up in a top knot, making him look like the younger version of Zuko.
The prince fluffed out his hair that was growing longer and covered his head with the hood of his cloak before grabbing his dual swords and messenger bag filled with food and supplies for the journey.
Soana had two water pouches placed on both sides of her hips, so she had enough to fight her and Reid's way out. Before they could open the door to leave the safety of the bedroom, Zuko looked to Soana.
"I'm going to talk to my father before I go. No matter what happens you and Reid keep going. Don't wait for me."
Soana knitted her brows.
"Zuko, don't,""No!" Zuko protested.
"Don't try to make excuses to stay. You take Reid and get out of here. Like you said before, wherever you go, I follow. Right?"Soana nodded weakly.
Zuko laid a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"I won't be too far behind."With that said, Zuko opened the door to let Reid and Soana flee the bedroom. After he exited the bedroom, Soana looked back as Zuko looked at her.
"I hate you for doing this!" she said lowly.
"I love you!" He whisper-shouted.
"Now, go!"Soana obliged and departed from Zuko as she was headed towards the exit with Reid. Luckily, they did not run into any guards since they were all out fighting against the "enemy" but when they opened the door from the bunker was when they faced the danger head on.
With all of Soana and Reid's strength, they opened the metal door to reach the outside, only for them to open it enough for them to squeeze through.
After they did so, a guard caught the two and attempted to shout for help, but Reid used his fire bending to make a stream of fire from his feet, making the guard fall and roll down the steep side of the dead volcano.
The man screamed as he hit every bump of rock until he slammed into the water below.
"Seriously, Reid?" Soana looked at the seven-year-old.
