Kaiden never asked to be royalty.
He never asked to be a brother.
And he definitely never asked to be the Fire Lord's weapon
While Zuko was banished and broken, Kaiden stayed in the palace: trained,Sharpened,Perfected.
Ozai carved him into a prodigy.
Azula shaped him into her partner.
The Fire Nation expected him to be a hero.
Instead they made him a monster.
Kaiden joins Azula, Mai, and Ty Lee on their missions: catching traitors, crushing rebellions, hunting the Avatar. His nation loves him. His enemies fear him. His sister trusts him more than anyone..
There's only one person who looks at him and sees something else entirely:
Katara of the Water Tribe,
who swears he's nothing more than Ozai's shadow.
Kaiden wants to hate her.
He tries to.
But every battle, every fight, every look makes something inside him burn in a way he can't control.
She thinks he's heartless.
He's terrified she's right.
Kaiden has to choose:
🔥 Stay loyal to the family that forged him
or
🌊 Walk toward the girl who believes there might be something left to save.
Either way, someone is going to get burned.
