You have realized that things are never the way you want them to be, for example, sometimes you are late to attend work, a school, a meeting with family and friends.
It's getting late because you lose your keys, you lose the money you had saved for gifts, the homework that if you don't present the teacher will fail you, well, some people call that having bad luck, karma, chakras or whatever way there is to call that, some say that we pay for the sins we committed in our past lives or that the sins of the father are passed on to the children.
Well, there is some truth in that belief, in my case it is my father's sins or so I like to think, since I never met him since I was rescued and adopted by the fire lord Iroh, it turns out that after a terrible war against monsters that no nation in this world knows from where they appeared, they just did it, I'll give them a history lesson...
Water, earth, fire, and air, long ago the four nations lived in harmony, but everything changed when beasts, monsters, and calamities appeared...
Rather, they slaughtered, ate, attacked, dismembered, and burned everybody, but you know, that's not the version you tell your grandchildren before you go to bed
... Only the Master Avatar of the Four Elements could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he disappeared...
This was a little more than 100 years ago, it is not known if he died or did not want to continue with a destiny that he did not choose, You know that it would be funny, that being the master of the four elements he ends up frozen in a storm, that is unfortunate hahaha...
Currently the Fire Nation and the Earth Kingdom are the main powers in this world, they both keep the threat of monsters and stuff at bay so there is no war between nations or at least that's what the general population believes, we enter a kind of ultra secret internal cold war. What they both seek (mainly my adoptive father's brother, Lord Ozai, is cruel with a serious inferiority complex and a very high resentment for not being chosen to be the next fire lord, who by the way wants the throne, but more on that later) is to conquer the other and be the owner of..., Well... the world, do you have any questions?

POV 3rd person
"Yes, I have one, are you really going to give that essay to your history teacher Percy," a black-haired boy asked a green-eyed one
"Of course! "What's wrong with Zuko?" replied the green-eyed young man known as Percy. "You think I should have mentioned about Fire Lord Iroh's addiction to mahjong, but I thought that after losing his clothes in that game with the minister of the earth kingdom it had become a state secret
"I didn't mean that, idiot!" exclaimed Zuko with annoyance and exasperation. "I was talking about your essay in general, if you deliver it like that you'll get suspended, again, and uncle won't be happy about it
"Maybe you're right, but you know I have a hard time writing and reading everything, I had to correct this about 50 times so I wouldn't have a spelling mistake and I'm not going to repeat it, damn Professor Wan, if I hadn't failed I'd be on vacation by now and not doing homework."
"Then you had to study for the final exams and not escape from the mansion to go practice with the sword with the soldiers" said Zuko with a blank tone "Come on Percy!, everyone knows that you are one of the best at using it, you are even better than me, you could not for once fulfill your responsibilities"
"I know, I know, is that Professor Wan's class is as boring as Lord Iroh's stories, but I'd rather spend the day with your father than see that old witch again."
"Wow, you're really desperate," said Zuko. "Well, since your best friend will help you, give me that essay that really makes me feel sorry
"Dude, you're the best," Percy grinned from ear to ear.
"It's not free," Zuko clarified, "You'll have to do something for me."
"Sure, whatever, just ask me!"
"You see, in three days a tournament will be held and it is rumored that those who finish in the top five will be selected for an expedition to the Northern Water tribe, there are rumors that Ratko was seen wandering the frozen lands, a small village disappeared."
Percy knew what Zuko was trying to tell him, he wanted him to help him enter the tournament and be selected and be recognized, especially by his father as a skilled firebender is what he has always wanted since the passing of his mother, he looked at him trying to hide the concern for Zuko's words, Percy's smile was gone, He was worried about his best friend.
"Dude, before you go any further," Percy said, "we're just fourteen years old, we're not old enough to enter a tournament like that," He stared at Zuko, hoping he would give up on his request, but he knew he wouldn't.
"Those silly rules are only for normal guys, we are part of Fire Lord Iroh's family, don't worry, we'll enter the tournament."
Zuko had an excited glint in his eyes., he had raised both hands pretending to wield two swords as if he had already won the tournament.
"Okay," Percy said, "I'll do it, after all you need my great skills to win that tournament, I can't leave you stranded."
Percy seemed calm on the outside, however he wasn't happy or enthusiastic, normally he would be happy to be able to practice the sword against opponents in combat, but the fear for his friend outweighs that happiness. Percy knew what he had to do next and that was to inform his father Iroh about the situation, who would not be happy, let alone knowing that his essay had been done by Zuko.
Percy's POV
Later that day...
The Palace of the Fire Lord was huge, it had different rooms, many bathrooms, dining room, private garden, training rooms and a very suspicious torture chamber, the palace was located on top of what was an ancient volcano, the legend has it that it was an ancient nest of dragons but due to hunting they were extinct.
The palace had a central tower with several floors, in which the royal family lived. On the upper floor was the personal bedroom of the fire lord Iroh and some floors far below that room was mine, a not very large room. , near the servants' quarters, Father's brother, Lord Ozai, objected to me being on the upper floors. He may be Iroh's son but I do not have royal blood.
In the northern part there were two more towers, these were close to the entrance of the palace and in this one stayed the highest political members of the Fire Nation and, occasionally, ambassadors of other nations or people with great power, as well as high-ranking military members.
That was my favorite place, you see, since I was young my father made me train with the sword, since I am not a firebender, I had to find some other way to be able to fight and the atmosphere was very comfortable being in that place, unlike the main tower, the mere presence of Ozai disturbs my day, he says that I am only my father's pet and some things like that, I really didn't think much of it.
Finally, the south tower of the palace is where the war council meets and decoration ceremonies or a not very pleasant tradition, the Agni Kai duels, 2 years ago Zuko was not so lucky in a duel like that.
Later you find palace city, it surrounds the whole palace, it is a big city, quite a few homes, however, they only belong to high society people, with great wealth, so you will not find street vendors or groups of children playing in the streets, frankly it is very boring, it is one of the main reasons why I hate being in the castle, Although sometimes I like to explore, but with nothing to do.
I walked towards the training rooms, brandishing the sword relaxes me quite a bit and since I can't see my father until he returns from his trip there isn't much to do.
When I arrived at the training room, a figure moved in the distance, it was noticeable that in his hand he was holding a spear, when I got closer I confirmed it, he was piercing the training dummies with that long device, only one blow was necessary to go through the shields and the entire body.
POV 3rd person
"Hello, master Heng, how are you doing?" Percy came out to the man
The master was wearing a white shirt with the image of the Fire Nation on the back, a red circle with a flame in the center, he was wearing black pants and the heavy military boots, classic army boots, but extremely resistant to fire, I mean, it's obvious. His hair was tied up, it was long and black, silky and fine, quite neat for someone who has dedicated his life to training, he had a broad face, big eyes and bushy eyebrows, but he lacked a beard, he must not have been more than 40 years old, however, he looked a little distressed, perhaps he was there for the same reason as me, to clear the mind.
"How about Percy, how's the rehearsal going? Did you finish it?"
"Of course, it was amazing, I'm sure Professor Wan will leave me alone."
"You seem very confident, my friend," said the master, "well, if you're done with your studies, you won't mind training with me for a while."
"Of course master, that's why I'm here."
Percy put himself in a fighting position, he didn't feel safe in a battle without having a sword with him, but since Trainer Heng had put the spear aside, Percy did the same, it wasn't the first time he practiced with the trainer, in fact he taught him different hand-to-hand fighting techniques to defend himself from the firebender attack and he was sure that the first move of the Trainer would be a huge fireball, after all it was his favorite, it blinded the enemy's field of vision allowing to shorten the distance between them.
"Are you ready, Percy?" The master said with a very confident face, "I hope you hold out longer than you did last time.
"I'm ready, whenever you want coach."
The trainer took a deep breath and with both arms launched a huge fireball, Percy hit, in the same way, the trainer had left his field of vision, he did not know where it was going to appear, however, Percy remained calm, ran towards the huge fireball that was approaching and jumped before it could do him any damage, He could then see his master approaching the position where the green-eyed boy was, for the first time, he had the advantage.
From a perfect landing, Percy approached the master, who had not noticed his presence, he quickly threw a kick to the head with the idea of finishing him off with a punch, at the last moment, the master ducked and counterattacked with a kick to the boy's chest throwing him back a few meters.
"Did you think you had me now, boy?" he said to master with a mocking smile "you are still very young"
Percy stood up and began to attack the trainer and at the same time dodged with great precision the flames coming out of the trainer's fists.
"That way you won't beat me," said the master
Percy approached the master, he seemed to be desperate and without any strategy.
"It's over," the master said
With his right arm he threw a jap with a strong flare, but Percy bent over letting that hot gust pass, landing a blow on the back of the trainer's arm followed by two light blows to the shoulder and ribs.
"Take this, master," Percy said
The trainer backed away, defending himself with a blade of fire that he kicked off as he backed away, but the boy kept closing in on him, dodging every attack the trainer launched.
Being very close to him, the trainer raised his right arm to launch an attack, but no flame appeared.
"You blocked my chi points, but when did you learn that?" surprised, but with a curious face, the master asked
"It's your end, old man," was all the green-eyed young man said
In a single leap, Percy hit the trainer's face with his knee, stunning him and forcing him to retreat. He could already taste the sweet victory, landing a direct blow to the face was a feat.
"You..."
"The victory is mine, master Heng."
Percy rushed again to land another straight punch on him, he couldn't pass up the opportunity to hit the trainer, after all, he felt great satisfaction, as the trainer always mopped the floor with him. He threw a punch to the abdomen, but before he could complete it the trainer stared at him.
"Did you just call me old man, you brat"
The master's face was completely red and his nose was somewhat crooked, assuming it was from the blow that the green-eyed young man was able to land, it seemed as if smoke was coming out of his nose and ears, but when he paid attention, it was no illusion, the smoke was real. A shiver ran down Percy's spine and only one thought flashed through his mind—I'm dead." Then a fireball, a little smaller than the previous one, but I could swear it was hotter, hit the young man straight in the chest and it exploded.
Percy was stunned, he only heard a hissing sound due to the explosion, he could barely stand and be conscious. He could make out a person approaching him, quickly stood up and threw a punch at his opponent.
"Who would believe it, not even in my own palace am I safe, my own son attacking me. You'll need a lesson so that this doesn't happen again"
Percy pulled his fist away from his opponent's face, but it turned out not to be the trainer, it was his father, the fire lord Iroh staring at him.
The boy realized that the chill he felt when he saw the master's furious face when he called him old was nothing compared to the feeling he had right now, it was very similar to being buried alive, and I can assure you that this is worse.
"Father... this is a misunderstanding, I was training right now with Master Heng, he can explain to you father himself"
"And where exactly is Master, Percy?" Iroh said
"What are you talking about, he's right there..." Percy turned his head pointing to the center of the field
But the training ground was completely empty, not even the trainer's spear was there, Percy immediately knew that the trainer had abandoned him.
