So this is the rough concept I've had for forever (bear with me) and I started re-watching the ATLA/ LOK episodes to renew my vision of the story. I wanted more from many different characters and smaller parts that didn't have enough air time. So my concept is that Haru was trusted with the great city of Ba Sing Se and he earned his title as King by being both fair and kind to the people (and his biggest project was to pretty much take from the rich and give to the poor to try to fix their class structure.) In the amount of time Haru was in Ba Sing Se he had a family and got to see his son grow up to be a fine young man and join the Republic Army to earn some worldly experiences before taking over the responsibility of Ba Sing Se as the rightful heir. There he met the love of his life and they had a child, who will be the main focus of the story; Anila. Of course Haru's son and wife met a tragic end to their young lives and so he raised their daughter as his own with as much love as any parents combined. She grew up strong, learning the earth element after her father and grandfather and at the mere age of ten she was a formidable bender. Tragedy strikes once again and Haru grows terminally ill, the girls future was placed in the hands of the advisors that had been serving Ba Sing Se and were to see to the city until she came of age. Most of the power landed in the grubby hands of a woman named Hou-Ting - or you probably know her better as the Earth Queen. ) The only opportunity she saw was with her on the throne and all that stood in her way was a little girl. With her grandfather gone, the girl was easy prey and her powerful bending was also her biggest weakness. Convincing the girl she was a monster and casting her out was almost too easy and Ba Sing Se was finally hers.

You will find out more of Anila's origins and what she was up to leading to the rise and fall of the Earth Queen. (I haven't decided what I'm going to have the Avatar doing in this part, I might include her but I'm unsure yet.) The Great Uniter has taken over many of the Earth Kingdom provinces and is building her armies for the biggest prize yet; Ba Sing Se that was now being self governed by bandits. And this is where my spin-off really begins; I wanted more of the brief bit of bandits that we had seen in Ba Sing Se and with the liberation of the Earth Queen it seemed only fitting that they should take over.

The United Republic Council can no longer sit idly by as Kuvira continues to force the good people of the Earth Kingdom under the same banner so they devise a plan. By putting the rightful heir on the throne of Ba Sing Se and quelling the problems from within they can focus on the bigger threat that is closing around the city. Everyone could work together and the city can see a peaceful rule once again. This was the biggest mission Mako has ever been entrusted with; he needed to find the lost princess of Ba Sing Se.

So ye, that's what I'll be working on~
