To the reader:

Before you begin, I feel you should be made aware of a few changes I have made to the Avatar storyline and where deviations may occur. First, let me state that I in no way own ANY of the characters from Avatar: The Last Airbender and make no monetary gain through the writing of this story.

For the purposes of this story, I have altered the timeline a little bit, adding roughly two years to the ages of all the characters. The major canon characters we will meet are aged as follows:

Aang: 14 (statistically 114)

Katara: 16

Sokka: 17

Toph: 14

Suki: 17

Zuko: 18

Iroh: 66

Azula: 16

Mai: 17

And Ty Lee: 16

I will not divulge my reasoning as yet, for fear of ruining the story for those of you with quick and analytical minds.

I also inform you all that, while the "Gaang" will be involved, they will appear to a lesser degree when compared to some of my OCs and Ty Lee. I decided to make Ty Lee a main character in my story mostly do to the lack of attention to her character, as well as Mai's, during the series and in many fanfictions where I feel they are sorely missed. Therefore, we will be seeing more of Azula, Mai, and Zuko than Aang and his compatriots until later on in the story.

The beauty of centering a story around a minor character and a group of OCs is that you a given a great deal of leniency with your imagination. As I plot this now, I see no great reason for me to deviate from the greater Avatar storyline.

One last thing I would like to mention is that I am not sure how often this will be updated. I am working on another story right now, but I took to this one when my muse abandoned me on that story for a while and gave inspiration for this story instead. Hopefully, updates will come monthly.

Thank you all, and I hope you enjoy it.
