AVATAR: THE NEW AGE BOOK 1 – CHAOS

Prologue – Avatar Tenchi

A/N: This is my first go at writing a fanfiction- so please critique! Also I'm not too good with descriptions so that's why I've decided to exclude one.

A lot can change in two thousand years. The world can go through war one thousand times over, to peacetimes and back again. And there'd always be one thing that stayed the same: The Avatar. The world knew that the Avatar would always be there to restore balance. Until the day that the Avatar couldn't.

The day when Vaatu began to stir. In my next life, Avatar Tenchi. And that's when he fell - the Avatar fell. I failed Tenchi, I couldn't reach him. He became consumed with rage and was fuelled only by his anger. He became an unstoppable killing machine hellbent on causing chaos. There was no longer the Avatar. Vaatu was too strong.

So the world had to band together and find a way to defeat Tenchi, the Dark Avatar. But it came at a great cost. Bending was wiped from the world, and with it went the spirits. The five nations became divided and scattered. It caused a great imbalance in the world forever creating a scar that has still not healed.

Now bending has been gone for over two thousand years. It's all but a myth – and me, the Avatar? I've seen I'm just the subject of legends. Part of a bedtime story meant to send little kids to sleep.

And yet – I'm awake again. I can feel my return to the world. The Avatar cycle did not end with Vaatu. But I can feel him stirring and I know he could rise once again. This new life is the only chance to restore balance. The Avatar must defeat Vaatu before he grows too strong and brings chaos once again…
