Yakone remembers the Siege of the North -- but what he remembers most is the girl, the fierce Southerner. It's a shameful kind of remembrance, one that becomes entwined with his dreams of red. After the war he makes his way to Cranefish Town, where he and Katara reunite and begin a treacherous journey into the abyss of blood, bending, and possibility.
