Water, earth, fire, air.
In a time long, long ago, Avatar Aang kept balance of the elements by defeating the fire lord, therefore, ending the war. But our story takes place much farther back, six avatar cycles before Aang to be exact, in small earth village called Tabu.

Chapter 1 : The Flask
A comet fell from the sky and broke into four pieces. One was estimated to have fallen near an earth village.
15 years later
When Qi was only seven years old, everyone knew him, for he was the happiest, most honourable, most respectful, (and not bad as a chef either) villager. Even though he had these wonderful qualities, he longed to have a quality he does not possess. Earth bending.
He saw it every day. Farmers would earth bend their soil until it was flat, just for farming. He saw villagers bending their own stone houses. He saw the village artist perfect sculptures. All the men in his family had earthbending. He did not.
Then one day...
"Qi! Come down, Grandma sent presents!" hollered Qi's brother, Tagu.
Qi made no signs of hesitation as he rushed down the stairs. His grandmother may have been a crazy water bender, but she sure made the most amazing clay sculptures. Last time he got a flying bison, who Qi didn't previously know existed.
Tagu was already holding a life-like creature in his hands. A penguin. It's four arms look so real, as if he touched it, he can feel it's slippery skin.
He noticed an ornate box sitting on the table. On it's lid, was engraved a message:
For you my young dragon, you bring me hope.
Qi never knew why his grandmother called him Dragon. Maybe she forgot his name again (this wouldn't be the first time). He carefully opened the lid hoping for some extravagant animal to be found.
It was not an animal. It wasn't even made of clay.
Instead, it was bottle made of blue glass, shaped like a science beaker. There was a gold wrapped around the neck, around the sphere the neck was attached to, and it ended in the bottom of the bottle, in a circle, so it could support the bottle while it was standing. Sitting in the round neck of the bottle was a silver moon, attached to a cylinder to block the water.
He recognized immediately. It was a flask. A water bending flask.
He did not know of the adventure this flask would bring him.
