[my sun / my moon]
The Northern Water Tribe does not have access to Fire Nation armour from any point in time after 15 AG. But the Fire Nation wouldn’t just stop attacking for no reason, would they? Especially not so near to the beginning of the war, emboldened by the destruction of the Air Nomads and recent conquests in the Earth Kingdom.
In 15 AG, Crown Prince Azulon is sent to Agna Qel’a to negotiate a peace treaty with Chief Taktuq of the Northern Water Tribe. While there, he meets Princess Ilah.
This is a story of a peace treaty, of a betrothal, and of the spirits in unequal amounts. It serves to flesh out a time we know little about and humanize characters given little more than a name.
No one is born a murderer, but some people come close.
