Hinode (aka Homestead) starts out with Ozai escaping prison (with help on the inside from Ukano and co) and booking it to the Earth Kingdom to try and hide out in one of the colonies; only he never makes it that far. He's attacked by some angry spirits, displaced by his razing of the Fire Nation during Sozin's Comet.

He tries to outrun them, but soon the damage is done - however, once he makes it to a forest he blacks out, only to awaken in a bed, even though he didn't see a home for miles during his travels.

He awakens in Hinode, a prosperous farming village teetering on becoming a small town. Hinode has had a boom in the last few years since the end of the war, and they are accruing more and more newcomers who arrive to become part of the new bustle of this cozy mountain land.

Ozai learns the town's most prominent lion-ram breeder was the one who found him, a woman named Niwa. She had gone to find one of her lamb cubs when she came across Ozai's battered body and sought help.

Ozai isn't keen on staying. He only intends to recover and then be on his way; but he quickly realizes he is surviving on good graces - it's best to not step on any toes while he is no longer a firebender and he cannot fully fight or defend himself.

Ozai eventually meets Niwa, and he's not impressed. She is a woman with olive eyes and bushels of thick, waving mousy hair. She is homely and naive; he thanks her and pretends to be in pain so he can have some alone time.

As he becomes stronger, the village leader asks Ozai (going by the name Chen) if he would be willing to help out around the village, and they will give him provisions for his travels. Begrudgingly, Ozai agrees, as he lost all of his supplies during the spirit attack.

Around this time he is asked to help Niwa shear some lion-ram manes for cloaks. He goes to help her, and the woman he supposed as empty-headed is eagerly wrestling her more stubborn rams, and he watches her pin one down, holding it and shearing it at the same time. She looks up to find Ozai and beams at the help. He's surprised she needs it as he sees the muscles he did not expect on her arms and back. Ozai does not much care for the chore, but Niwa continuously praises him after learning he has never done farmwork before. Ozai won't lie; he enjoys hearing praise again.

Ozai eventually has a small collection of money and supplies, and he is eager to be on the road. He wanders the forest, aiming to find his way out - only every single road leads him back to Hinode. Perhaps he needs a map. He asks for one, and he goes about the path perfectly... only he winds up back in the village.

He does not tell anyone of his predicament. He panics to himself as he continues to offer his services... but he can only amass so many supplies as they know he plans on leaving. He will look foolish and they may suspect something about him if he stays for too long, hoarding supplies. Especially as winter draws near. The village guru imparts upon him that he may find it better to stay for the winter. The trek beyond the forest can be treacherous in the snow and ice.

Ozai, upset with his lot, has no choice either way. He pretends to agree, and he stays in the village inn, so long as he continues to offer his services to the town. He helps with building new homes and barns, keeping watch through the night from predators or pillagers, and he finds himself helping Niwa, who is the last of her family ensuring care of her lion-rams.

Ozai hates it but he becomes soft on the beasts - and on Niwa, who smiles at him, and always ensures he leaves her home warm and fed. He notices how tired she is, as she hides it well. She is lonely, having lost her family over the past decade.

He begins to give her the brunt of his attention; waking up early to feed the lion-rams, that way when Niwa wakes up, she only has to ensure they are safe and warm from the winter. At first they don't have much to talk about. Ozai has remained rather quiet during his time there. Niwa asks him if he misses where he came from.

He closes his eyes and responds 'I did at first. Now I can see leaving was the best thing that ever happened to me.'

He thanks Niwa for rescuing him, and she blushes, telling him that the forest is always full of surprises. She has often believed herself lost, only to be led back in the nick of time; she swears she can see a figure who looks much like her grandfather, and she is certain his spirit has kept the land safe.

Ozai goes to speak to the village guru after this, and he finally admits he has not been able to leave Hinode. Even though he does not miss the Fire Nation, he isn't one for feeling trapped. The guru insists that, whatever Ozai's past is, perhaps he has something he is working towards.

He doesn't believe this; he is the Phoenix King!

... Right?

That name feels so far away now, but his pride is still burdened by dirtying himself on the daily, only to have exhaustion and soreness as his reward.

But the guru continues: 'for as much destruction caused by the Fire Nation, perhaps you are overdue to see to creation instead now.'

Her words freeze his blood; he stares... does she know who he is? She gives him a glance. One that he knows means she could tell anyone his truth, and he would have hundreds of villagers on his tail. And he still cannot escape the forest. He would be a dead man.

Ozai nods and bows to the guru, swiftly making his exit.

He tries to wander the forest again. To no avail.

He is still trapped.

Niwa notices him cursing at the edge of the forest as she tends to her flock. She goes to him, ensuring nothing is wrong, and she finds him crying out of frustration.

She brings him a cloak and something warm to drink, and she smiles at him. She sits with him, talking about how Hinode has been her only home, how it has become a haven for many different Nations of benders and smiths and creators.

Ozai murmurs he doesn't fit here. He's never been a creator.

He thinks about his children back in the Fire Nation. How he nearly destroyed them - and for once, something stirs in his belly. A gnawing, nasty feeling as the memory of scarring his son and abandoning his daughter suddenly have a different tone than he's ever known.

His emotions become worse, and Niwa stays with him as he sifts through his guilt and shame. He looks to Niwa, who he sees something different in now. She shows him patience and openness; she often speaks of how the past and the future become one with each choice they make.

Through his strained voice, Ozai admits that he wants to have a future. Confused, Niwa asks what he means. Ozai tells her he's been driven by anger, by bitterness, and by the want to destroy for so long; he'd almost carried out harming so many; and he's already hurt so many people.

He wants a future, but he doesn't know where to start.

Niwa takes his hand and insists he already has.

Ozai has rarely had anyone by his side that wasn't there due to his status. He was no longer the Fire Lord; he never became the Phoenix King - but why did he feel like he was being reborn? Reforged by the fire as his old life smoulders into ashes being carried away in the wind.

and he kisses Niwa. And she reciprocates.

If he isn't going anywhere, and if he wants a future... then let this be the one he has. Let this be his choice, how he proceeds to live.

The winter thaws, spring blooms, Ozai and Niwa become married in the summer, and Ozai lives a new kind of married life, unlike that he had with Ursa. Instead of politics demanding their every moment, he lives in peace, in this quiet, cozy home, enjoying meals and conversations and laughter; and in the gray of the following winter, it's revealed Niwa is expecting.

However, the ones who aided Ozai's escape from Prison are looking for him, wondering what happened to their Fire Lord, their Phoenix King. Surely he hasn't forgotten about them?

Hinode Observes Annular Solar Eclipse

On January 4, the Hinode satellite captured these breathtaking images of an annular solar eclipse. An annular eclipse occurs when the moon, slightly more distant from Earth than on average, moves directly between Earth and the sun, thus appearing slightly smaller to observers' eyes; the effect is a bright ring, or annulus of sunlight, around the silhouette of the moon. Hinode, a Japanese mission in partnership with NASA, NAOJ, STFC, ESA, and NSC, currently in Earth orbit, is studying the Sun to improve our understanding of the mechanisms that power the solar atmosphere and drive solar eruptions.
