This is their story. Joint fic with Dragon Girl Rowan.

1. Prologue

I (SecretSnuffles) decided to write this ages ago, but it's taken me ages to properly start. Recently I've decided with my friend Rowan Dragon Girl that we will write it together. We're each going to write a chapter, but will help each other to write them. This is only the beginning, there will be more. Hope you enjoy! Oh, and we don't own Avatar: the Last Airbender. If we did there would be more. Just more of everything. I guess that's why we have fanfiction.

Prologue

Water. Earth. Fire. Air.

Long ago the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the fire nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished.

100 years past and the fire nation are nearing victory in the war. I want to fight the fire benders who drove my people from our rightful home, but it's near impossible. News has spread of the Avatar's return. So maybe some day, somehow, we can take back our land and the Avatar will save the world.
