Pairings: KorraXMako, mentions of: General IrohXAsami, AangXKatara, ZukoXKatara

Genres: Adventure, Romance, Tragedy

I know this is kind of corny, and it's a bit rushed, but it's just to give a little background on two of the stories I plan on posting in the future. One is a ZukoXKatara story, and the other is a story about the Avatars after Korra, mainly Korra and Mako's son. Please review, and give me any ideas you think would be cool for my up-coming fan-fictions. Flames will be used to roast marshmallows for smores. Smores, Mmmmmm!

Chapter One

"What they heck is going on? Where are we?" Bolin asked in awed fear.

"I don't know," Korra admitted.

"It looks like the spirit world," General Iroh explained.

"You would be correct, Young General," a kind, old voice said cheerfully, and a man dressed in Fire Nation Royalty-wear appeared before them, smiling.

"Who are you, and what are we doing here?" Korra asked the spirit.

"Right to the point, eh? I suppose that is for the best. The Avatars are not happy that you all had to come here in the first place. This is not your duty."

"What's not?" Mako asked.

"You are all aware that 70 years ago, the Avatar Aang defeated the old Fire Lord Ozai and saved the world, correct?"

"Yeah, everyone knows that,"Korra shrugged.

"Well, if you do not help him, that future may not happen. You see, the past and the history that you all remember are not what Destiny had planned."

"What do you mean?"

"The young Avatar Aang made a decision that changed Fate in a way that was not suppose to happen."

"What did he do?" Ikki questioned.

"Well, young one, you see, you should never have existed."

Ikki gasped and the older teens and adults around her went on guard. The old man smiled.

"Do not fear, I will not harm you. I guess I should have worded that more wisely," he said, stroking his beard, "You see, Aang was never meant to fall in love and get married. We was to resurrect the Air Nomads, but not with Katara. He made a selfish mistake, and even though Katara was content with him, he is not her soul mate, and so she was never truly happy being his. Further more, the Air Nomads will slowly die out now that he has made that selfish mistake."

"How so?" Ikki asked.

"Well, you see, the Air Nomads are monks and priestesses, so they never marry, and hold special ceremonies to produce more children to raise into monks and priestesses. Aang did not realize this, but there are more people born to Air Nomads that have no bending abilities then not. Only one in three Air Nomads are Air Benders."

"But all of my siblings and I are benders."

"But none of your own children will be. Aang has doomed the Air Nomads by holding himself to one woman, and therefor, has broken the cycle of Avatars."

"Why are you telling us all of this?" Mako asked.

"Because, dear Mako, it is up to all of you to change that. You see, it is not just the Avatar's fault that Fate was changed. My stubborn nephew had something to do with that."

"Your nephew?"

"Fire Lord Zuko," he clarified.

The general's eyes widened.

"You. You're Uncle Iroh."

Iroh smiled and nodded.

"So, what does Fire Lord Zuko have to do with this? I mean, I know that he traveled with the Avatar, but-"

"Because Zuko is Katara's soul mate. He was too stubborn to admit it to himself or to Katara and Aang, and because of that, both he and Katara never had the life Destiny had planed for them."

"But you said that Ikki should never have been born. You said nothing about General Iroh. Er, the younger General Iroh," Asami clarified.

"My great grand-nephew would have been born anyway. Zuko was not destined to except his feelings for Katara immediately after the war ended, but Katara was never destined to stay with Aang. They should have excepted their feelings sometime after Young Iroh's grandmother's death."

"My Grandmother Mai died giving birth to my father," she explained, "and my grandfather never remarried."

"But he should have," Iroh sighed, "and Aang should have had killed the Fire Lord."

"Why is that so important?" Bolin asked, "I mean, he beat him and took away his bending."

"When Aang refused to kill the Fire Lord, he stopped himself from experiencing something that would have shaped his fate into a harmonious circle. Instead he missed a turn, and his fate became an oval, not completely off balance, but enough to tip the scales in the wrong direction. If he had done as Destiny intended, and killed the evil Fire Lord, he would never have allowed Katara to become his, and he would have restore the Air Nomads, and Republican City would never have fallen under Amon's power. Zuko and Katara would have been allowed to be with their soul mates, and their souls could have rested in the after life. But because of Aang's naivety and selfishness, they will both be reincarnated, and reincarnations tend to have very painful lives. All will suffer from Aang's decision, unless you change it."

It's short, I know, but that's just the way it turned out. There will be about five more chapters after this. Please review, I really would appreciate feedback.

Also, any author's notes or comments on reviews will be posted at the end of each chapter, not the beginning like in most fan-fictions.
