Prologue: One Earth

Disclaimer: I do not own Avatar: The Last Airbender

Author's note: Good evening, (one should always begin with pleasantries when beginning something) I know everyone hates an o.c. fanfic, especially if you're like me; however, I just couldn't help myself; this story won't work with a pre-existing character. (T-T) I am writing this fanfic for two reasons:
1) Because I have never finished a story in my entire life and I need to do this to prove to myself I have what it takes to write a story against opposition (this is an o.c.fanfic) and unsupported.

2) My best friend (who has to listen to all my stories) won't let me tell her the ending unless I write it.

I will write this story to the best of my ability so please read and enjoy; I accept and appreciate all reviews.

Thank you

Summary Seven years have passed since Aang defeated the Fire Nation and brought peace to every tribe and kingdom. He could not have overthrown Fire Lord Ozai and Princess Azula without the help of the waterbender Katara, her brother Sokka, the earthbender Toph, and the firebender Zuko.

While peace might have been restored harmony has not. The people blame benders for the 100 year war. This is because without bending firebenders wouldn't have been able to wage war against the rest of the world and without bending the Air Nomads, the Water Tribe, and the Earth Kingdom wouldn't have been able to resist the Fire nation for so long causing more lives to be lost. People who can bend, no matter what nationality, are shunned; the majority of people will not speak, house, sell, or even help a person who is bender. However even while all other benders are shunned Aang and his comrades have been elevated to a god-like status amongst all peoples. Most disconcerting of out comes though is that benders great and small, weak and strong, young and old are losing their ability to bend. One such bender is Zuko Sozin.
