A/N: Ok so this was inspired by a story I read on deviantart. Hope you all like it. Enjoy!

(3rd person P.O.V)

A boy was running off a ship that had just docked at a port. The boy had (h/c) hair and (e/c) eyes. The boy was maybe thirteen and looked like he was excited. While running he bumped into a few people while shouting apologies. He stoped, after awhile, at a dojo.

(Y/N P.O.V)

I reached one of the places I had written down. It was a little less traditional then what I would've liked but I wouldn't complain. I went up to the door and knocked on it. After a minute a guy who looked to be in his late twenties to early thirties opened up. "What do you want?"

Y/n:"I wanted to ask, is this was a fire bending dojo?"

Man:"Yes."

Y/n:"Well can you train me?"

Man:"Do you have money?"

Y/n:"No bu-"

Man:"Then no!"

The man slammed the door in my face and I was a little depressed. I looked at my list and marked off the place. Above were a few dozen other places from other nations, all of them were marked off. "Well I still have a few other places I could try."

I looked up and started running to the next place, then the next and the next until every part of the list except for five places were marked off. It was dark and I had nowhere to stay so I went to an alleyway to sleep for the night, I found a good spot that was hidden in the back. "Well that's all the places in the fire nation that I know about for training."

I was a little bummed out that not one place would train me, it was either no money or too young or even too weak looking. I saw a few old papers with a log that looked to be rotting off to the side. I made a little area for the things and lit it on fire with my fire bending, the brilliant white flames dancing around. I looked into my bag and pulled out a egg, or at least I think it's an egg. I put it near the fire hoping to keep it warm. "Still not planning to hatch huh?"

I decided to get some sleep, since I still had to figure out a way to my next destination in the morning.

(Time skip)

I woke up to loud cheering and music. I grabbed my bag and put the egg inside while rapping it up in a blanket. Once I had everything I walked to the end of the alleyway where people were lining the streets for something. I walked up to some of the people who were looking out at the street. "What's got everyone so excited?"

Guy:"Don't you know? it's a festival!"

You:"Is it a special festival?"

Girl:"We get to see the Fire Lord and his daughter the fire princess and next Fire Lord, there are also bands and art that local people made.

You:"Wow, this sounds like a blast."

Guy:"Do you actually not know about this?!"

You:"Well I kind of just got here yesterday."

Girl:"Then welcome to the fire nation little guy."

I looked out at the street and saw a band march forward. I watched as many people went by and soon saw a man and woman on a palankeen. 'I wonder who they are'? I looked as a man walked out and shot and arrow at the woman, no one else was paying attention and the people who were behind him were too late to stop the arrow. I ran out of the crowd and went for the arrow. Luckily the street was very narrow so it was a short distance, unluckily I couldn't catch the arrow and it pierced my right shoulder. "Owowow."

I looked to see the man who had shot the arrow was being arrested. When I looked at the crowd they all looked behind me, I looked back and saw the man from the palankeen Looking at me. "Thank you for saving my daughter."

You:"N-no problem."

Man:"Oh but you did me a great service, is there anything you want in return?"

I went to talk but felt my wound start to get worse. I then could only see black.

(3rd person P.O.V)

The man caught the boy as he fell. He put him on the palankeen with the woman and looked at the men carrying it. "Back to the palace; quickly."

The men nodded and turned the palankeen around, they waited for the man to get on. The man looked at some men in armor. "After you have arrested that man and interrogated him bring him to the palace."

The armored men nodded and took the man away. The man then got on the palankeen with his daughter and the unconscious boy. The palankeen took off to the palace. When they got there they got off the palankeen and grabbed the boy. The palace was big, there were gardens, staff, rooms, and a few other immediate things. The man took the boy to one of the rooms and called for a healer. When the healer came she started working on the boys arm first. "He will be fine but when he wakes up he will want something to eat, and his parents will need to be informed about his condition after he wakes up."

The man nodded and thanked the healer before everyone left the boy alone.

(Time skip, Y/N P.O.V)

I woke up in a room that I had never seen before. When I tried to sit up I felt a pain in my right shoulder. I looked to see it was bandaged, I sat up and looked around the room. It was a nice red with some yellow and black. The door slid open and the man from the palankeen walked in. "Oh good your awake."

You:"How long was I out?"

Man:"About 8 hours."

You:"I am sorry if I was a burden."

Man:"You were no burden, I am glad you are ok and thankful that you saved my daughter, I would still like to ask if there is anything you want as a thank you. And if I may know your name."

You looked at the man and could see the sincerity. "There is one thing I would like, but it is asking a lot. And my name is (y/n) sir."

Man:"And what might that be (y/n)?"

You:"To find a trainer, I want to learn firebending but no matter where I got no one wishes to train me."

The man thought about this for a moment. I thought he might say no, but he smiled at me. "Very well then I will train you, now come along you need to eat."

I was star struck at the idea of someone finally accepting me for training. I then heard him say to follow him. "Wait who are you?"

He turned back to me and smiled. "I am Zuko..."

A/N: there is chapter one I hope you all enjoyed it, until the next one. Bye!
