Chapter 1 - Chapter one: Hi and Sozin

In the distant Kano-country there exists a family with unparalelled might. The heirs of fire who inherited the very first flame. Their power is only kept in check by the Shogun´s family who is said the inherit the powers of the moon and sky. That power is solidified with their great national treasure: the heavenly azure moonblade, It is a katana with a blue blade and it´s sheath is adorned with gold and clouds. It is only wieldable by who is of blood of the Shogun family. In contrast to that the heirs of fire posess a blade of equal power : the red dragonblade, a katana made from the remains of dragons and its blade is fire itself in the form of a sword. It is only passed to the next heir of fire upon marriage. Marriage secures that the fire will have a next heir.

The heirs of fire have a connection to dragons because they were the ones to pass fire onto mankind in extension they share similar blood and abilities. But the dragons had a hefty price to pay for giving man such power as they were hunted near extinction. Only their mischevious descendants the snakes are what´s left of them. Very few dragons still exist but their blood lives on. 

The dragonkin monks are direct descendants of the dragons. Their founding fathers were half dragon half man but they found a way to drain dragon corpses of their blood and with that they infuse this blood to all human members who joined and thus the dragonkin monks were born. This ritual passes the dragons powers onto man but if one was too weak they would die to the potent blood. That power makes one embody the dragons this means one became as strong and longlived as them in addition to sharing aspects of dragons like pointy ears, though skin, claws and their pupils.

Present time Kano-country:

Hi the next heir of fire and a prodigy at that. A young man with long red hair, in this world a strong swordsman can maintain long hair whitout it getting cut in combat a show of experience adn his red hair is a telltale sign someone is an heir of fire. He is tall and well built due to his training. His eyes are black and and thin like everyone else in Kano-country. He has luscious eye lashes and a handsome face. His beauty is often compared to that of a woman and makes him very attractive for those. Someone who will take the heirs of fire to a higher level never seen before. At a young age he could already use his fire magic something that would normally take years to awaken yet alone use. The fire is very strong but hard to control that is why it is so hard to use and would require countless years of training but he was a natural talent. His father would force Hi to master the blade because Hi´s fire would grow too strong when mastered. He had never thaught Hi how to control fire magic but yet he somehow managed to make it work. Now Hi is forced to master the blade so his father could teach him how to master his control over fire.

Hi is currently training his Swordsmanship in the family´s dojo under his current instructor. He is making progress by heaps and bounds and has almost mastered all the katas. Occasionally Hi will go to hunt for his family as he is today. Hi always takes a group of experienced hunters with him to help him locate the prey. They have found some tracks which a hunter examines "Hmm, these tracks belong to a giant lizard and lead further in the forest. I´d rather deal with it now because it´s only a matter of time till it kills some livestock." The hunter says. "Go on lead the way!" Hi tells him. "Okay!" he answers and leads them further in. "Shh! I am hearing something must be the giant lizard. It sounds like its´s fighting someone. We´d better go and help out before it´s too late!" a hunter tells Hi. "Let us check it out! I am going ahead!" Hi tells the hunter dashing off further into the forest.

He arrives at his destination only to find someone fighting it. "So he was right. It is fighting someone!" Hi says. A man with a giant sword a fitting weapon when fighting something that´s bigger than you is fighting the giant lizard currently and deflecting it´s attacks and claws with no effort at all. The giant lizard neck starts to glow read and it can only mean one thing fire. And as if on cue it spits a fireball at the man Hi rushes in to help him but the fire ball is cut in half. "Where did it go? No way! He cut the fire ball. Must be a fire user then!" Hi comments. "Not bad!" the man tells the giant lizard. "It didn´t like that!" Hi says as it charges at him. Hi readies his stance ready to draw his blade. It stops charging at him all of a sudden. *Kling!* The giant lizards head falls on the ground and it´s body follows soon. In an instant the man chops it´s head off.

"What happened? Wait there is no blood coming from the wound?! How is that possible?" Hi wonders. "Thanks for distracting it!" the man says. Upon closer inspection you can tell he is a dragonkin monk due to his though skin, pointy ears, claws and pupils. He is a tall built middle aged man with long white hair bound back by a hairtie. He has no facial hair and looks younger than he is. He is tanned and wears a robe whitout sleeves to show of his muscles. "You look strange you´re not from here are you? I´ll let you know that this is our families hunting grounds you can´t just hunt here whitout permission. Normally it´s punished by execution. But i´ll let it slip this time in return you´ll teach me that technique." Hi tells him. "Oh... I didn´t know that. Here you can have the giant lizard!" he says offering it to Hi. He examines him closely. "Hmmm... You look like you can handle it!" he tells Hi afterwards. "Handle what?" Hi asks him. "I´ll tell you later! Your companions are here!" he tells him. The hunters have arrived. "Just in time eh?" a hunter asks Hi. "Actually he hunted it all by himself!" Hi answers. "What!?" a hunter asks surprised. "Impressive i must say!" the hunter comments on it. "Can we carve it up and gather materials?" he asks him. "Yeah sure you can have the skin, bones and claws all the meat goes to the kitchen!" Hi tells him. "Got it! these will sell for quite a price and we can turn it into gear!" the hunter says. "Now get to work!" he tells his friends. They start carving it up quickly this shows their experience with hunting.

"Now back to you! Where did you learn those techniques?" Hi asks him. "The temple. Dragonkin monk Sozin nice to meet you!" Sozin tells Hi. "The name´s Hi heir of fire!" Hi introduces himself. "Show me your fire boy!" he tells him. "Here!" he says emmiting a fire ball from his hand. "Just as i thought you truly have been passed down the first flame! But your fire seems unbridled and wild. You are wasting a lot of energy!" Sozin tells him and shows his fire as well. "Seem familiar?" he asks him. "It does but this fire magic is inhereted only by my family. How can you posess the same?" Hi asks him. "Let me tell you a little secret your family has dragonblood running through yout veins as do i!" Sozin tells him. "You are called dragonkin for a reason. Does this mean we are related?" Hi asks him. "Very distantly. The dragon that passed fire and his blood down to your ancestor is not the same as the one i´m related too and compared to me the amount of dragonblood you have flowing through your veins is much more little than mine but still potent enough to make a major difference. Don´t you realise how different you are to other humans stronger and with a fire magic untmatched?" Sozin tells Hi. "That´s right our family is stronger than others! But with that knowledge you must be able to teach me!" Hi tells Sozin. "It requieres a strong will and dedication to learn the dragonkin monk techniques. Only if you are ready to leave on a journey like me can you master these techniques. Are you truly ready for that?" Sozin asks him. "I am ready!" he tells him. "So be it i shall become your teacher and you my apprentice. Once you have completed the journey with me i will become a true master and you a student of the dragonkin teachings." Sozin tells him."Very well it is decided then you will teach me and you will leave this country unpunished!" Hi tells him. "A small price to pay for my live!" Sozin says. "Now we shall depart back home! Let us go!" Hi tells everyone "As you wish!" the hunters say finished with carving.
