Waking Giants
Summary
To say the least, Harmonic Convergence was an exciting situation for everyone involved. Along with the airbenders, new locations in the wilds of the world have also showed up, secrets centuries old are coming to light, and fantastic creatures and spirits have begun to integrate into society. However, with every fantasy coming into existence, there is a darker side. And now with the Avatar occupied, something much more sinister has taken the opportunity to slither out of the shadows. Enter our heroes, several young men and women with a responsibility to their world and it's inhabitants. It's up to them to figure out just what powers are at work here, and just how they can stop it. But in a world still reeling from the last calamity it's going to take everything they have just to survive.
Will they succeed? Or is this one fairy tail that won't have a happy ending?
A/N: Welcome one and all to my humble little story! So, like many of you fans out there, I've been really excited about the newest season. It's all unraveling well so far, but one thing bothered me. What's going on back in the rest of the world, as far as the spirits and that sort of thing anyway. While I'm assuming everything will be resolved, that didn't stop me from getting all inspired and stuff. Anyway, if you would like to, you can scroll down and join in on this story. Fill out the form below, and PM me a character! Only a few rules I must mention.
1: I can only accept characters submitted by PM. Reviews won't be considered I'm afraid. Rather, they will be promptly removed.
2. I need male and female characters. I can't have a whole cast of one or the other because that's just no good.
3. Probably the golden rule of fanfiction, BEWARE THE MARY-SUE! If I like your character I may contact you if I have any pointers or advice that apply. But otherwise whoever I choose will remain a surprise until the first chapter!
So if none of this has put you off submitting, go ahead! Be crazy, be original, have fun! We writers here to do just that after all. But before we get started, here's a little preview. It's our own opening monologue you guys!
Book 1: Waking
Prologue
Faces in the Storm
Dear Reader.
We aren't heroes. I'll just say that right now.
Whatever happens from this point onward, I want whoever reads this to know that. Individually, I suppose we were talented in our own right. But we stayed in the background because that's where we belonged. We stayed there, because that was our place in the world and though we questioned it, I don't think anyone genuinely wanted it to change. But now, something has happened. I don't know how, and I don't know why. But somehow we ended up at the forefront of this mess, and I guess it's up to us to fix it.
That sound ridiculous doesn't it? Well I won't argue that, but I can say this, the one thing we all agree on: We want to run. To continue our lives in the background without the terror and danger that lies ahead. We want to escape, flee into the shadows. But this time, we're going to stand ground.
We're tired of running. So we're going to fight this thing, whatever it is.
We aren't angel heaven sent. We aren't champions born with sword in hand. And we aren't heroes.
But this time, we won't be simple faces in the storm.
A/N: God I hope that wasn't too sucky. Anyway, if you decide to submit, thanks in advance! I hope you guys have fun with it.
