Author's Note: Story was inspired by a fanart. The second image in the sequence kinda looked like a Soul Eater/Korra crossover. You know, when Maka got influenced by the black blood and went totally crazy? That smile made me shiver. Wooooo, Soul Eater. o.O The last time I read Soul Eater was, like, two years ago.

Link on my profile. You'll have to swim through a crapload of junky junk to get to it, though. *Shrugs*

Book One: Shadows

Prologue


Earth.

Fire.

Air.

Water.

The Avatar. The mightiest being to live in the four nations. The mediator, the bringer of peace, the divine medium who has descended upon the earth, the bridge between the Spiritual and Physical Worlds.

The Avatar must be incorruptible, incorrigible. They cannot afford to succumb to the groping fingers of darkness and all that is evil. They must exist as the neutral figure in the world, to keep the peace and delicate balance the four nations so very much needs.

But sometimes, the Avatar cannot help it. Sometimes, the soul simply gives in to the austerity of the human world, because it cannot weather through the harshness of reality any longer.

And sometimes, the Avatar does not have a choice.

For there are other forces at work in the world.

ORDER, and the WORLD.

CHAOS, and the COSMOS.

DARK, and the DESTINY.

LIGHT, and the INFINITY.

—降世神通, 和他的影子—

The Avatar, and its SHADOW.


End Notes: Short and sweet...

Well, not really sweet. :P I hope that you enjoyed it, nonetheless, and I'm actually working on the first chapter simultaneously. But that chapter will be around 6,000 words or so, and I'll try to get it up by tomorrow.
