Chapter 1

An eight year old Sydeny was at her favorite part of the beach that's near her house. She's sitting on the rocks humming her favorite song while staring out at the water. Sydeny is not an average citizen of the Fire Nation. She can fire bend, just like her father, Commander Zhao. But she can also water bend. Only Sydeny knows this. It's her little secret.

Her house is in the village by the Fire Nation palace, where the Fire Lord and his family lives. Her best friend and only friend is Prince Zuko. Not even he knows Sydeny's secret.

Speaking of Zuko, he just so happens to be coming over right now.

"Hi, Zuko! Where've you been?" asks Sydeny.

"Hi, Sydeny. Sorry I'm late, but dad wanted to talk to me about something," replied Zuko.

"That's alright. Want to go swimming?"

"Sure." They quickly changed and went into the water to swim. They were having a great time, when Zuko's Uncle Iroh had to come.

"Zuko," Iroh shouted, "Your father wishes to speak with you!"

"Can't it wait?" asks Zuko, hoping Iroh will say yes.

"I'm sorry Zuko, but he says it's urgent."

"I gotta go, See you tomorrow," says Zuko to Sydeny. It was getting late and Sydeny needed to go home now anyways. Unfortunately they wouldn't see each other tomorrow or the next day.

As Sydeny was walking home, about ten guys stop her and tell her to come with them. "No!" says Sydeny trying to get free from their grasp since one guy was now holding her wrist. Then one guy took a hard object and smashed it against Sydeny's head, making her unconscious.


The next day, she awakes. She's on a ship that is in the middle of the ocean. One of the guys who happens to be a Water Nation soldier walks in the room. "So, you're awake," says the guy being really rude.

"Yeah, I'm awake. What's it to you?" replies Sydeny being just as rude on propose.

"You're our prisoner. Don't want you dead now, do we?"

"I don't want to be dead. But why should you care? I'm your prisoner. Remember?"

"When I said prisoner I meant bartering chip. We'll trade you for victory in the war."

"You can't win that easily. The Fire Lord has something up his sleeve that not even the Avatar can stop."

"And what might that be?"

"If I told you it wouldn't be a secret anymore. Now would it?"

"You know, you're starting to annoy me."

"Good that was my plan all along. Now I suggest you leave or I'll burn you to ash."

"Sure you can. Besides I got the information I needed. Oh, by the way since you're so confident in the Fire Lord. We'll just take you to the North Pole with us. And there's no way to escape." So that's that. I'm not going home. I'm going to the freezing North Pole. Hope It's not too cold, thought Sydeny as she began her long journey to the North Pole.
