LEGENDS

At the climax of a hundred-year war, the four nations of the world are reunited, a new king is crowned, and a hero has risen. But now, there are still conspirators among the people, whom of which are still loyal to the Fire Nation Empire.

Meanwhile, a prisoner of the Earth Kingdom is held for a crime he didn't commit. Only released as a defense against invaders, a secret weapon of sorts, he slowly loses his mind as he is held chained to the inside of a metal box.

1 DREAMS

Lee sat on his knees, the cold steel piercing his skin, his arms outstretched by cuffs with chains attached to four metal walls that surround him. Lee held his head down and closed his eyes, trying to think of the days when his parents were still alive, and he could feel safe and loved in the warmth of his mother's soft arms. Suddenly, a bad memory, intruding on his dream, began to mangle his memories into a twisted nightmare. Flames began to pull his mother into them, completely covering her. "Mom!" he tried to yell, but it was too late. Then, his father emerged, fighting back the flames with a shield and his Earthbending, but the flame separated and streamed to both his sides, and a wall of spears came from above. He dropped his shield as to have completely given up, the flames consumed him, and the spears crashed down onto him. The fire then began to swirl and encircle Lee. It engulfed him, and the scene faded. When Lee came to, the flames had been replaced by towering men in Earth Kingdom Royal Guard uniforms. One stepped forward and put a hand over Lee's face, and he couldn't breathe.

Suddenly, a boom woke Lee. Outside his metal cell, thundering noises made the box tremble and shake violently. Men outside were screaming. Then there was a clank at the door. The guards were unlatching it. The door swung open, and the light outside blinded Lee, making him flinch a little. A silhouette walked into the room and uncuffed Lee. He knew what came next.
