Disclaimer: I do not own, and will most likely never own, any of the characters that sound familiar to you ranging from Harry Potter to the Circle of Magic to Avatar the Last Airbender. It makes me a little sad. However, any character that you do not recognize is mine. I don't mind sharing, but please ask. If anything seems familiar to you, plot wise, please let me know. I promise that I am not stealing this idea from anyone. I have not seen a story that combines the three worlds, and definitely not like this.

Summary: It is Harry's 7th year at Hogwarts. After Cedric died and the incident in the graveyard, everything went south for Harry and he disappeared from Hogwarts. Though everyone looked for him, he was never found, until he appeared bloody and beaten near the end of what would have been his 6th year. He had defeated Voldemort, and to this day no one knows how. Whatever happened to him, he has changed. He is cold and distant to some people and warm to others. He is ready to take his rightful place in the wizarding world, bringing it up to speed with the rest of the world, whether people like it or not. Some Dumbledore bashing and potential Weasley bashing. Very AU. Kind of a mixture of Harry Potter, Circle of Magic and Avatar the Last Airbender, but with mainly Harry Potter characters and my own. Circle of Magic and Avatar characters may make an appearance later on, but that is a big maybe.

Excerpt from Chapter 1 of History Long Forgotten by Jaclyn Atl

Over a millennia ago, magical beings and muggles lived in peace. Magic was highly regarded and seen as a gift from the gods. The most highly regarded was The Chain, a group of the most powerful and oldest of the Elementals, magical beings that had power over the four elements: earth, air, fire, and water. Nonmagicals, elementals, creatures of all kinds, and regular magicals lived in peace. The High Council, a group of people elected every five years from all species, ruled the world. They kept the peace between the inhabitants of Earth. The most notable members of this council were Merlin, Arthur, and Morgan le Fay.

The peace resided over the land as people and creatures turned to help their neighbors. Scuffles would be dealt with as local customs dictated, determined by whose land it was on. If larger fights broke out, the High Council would send people of the offending race to deal with the problem before getting involved themselves. Peace was wanted above all else, and peace was had.

But as with all good things, the bad slowly began to catch up with the good. Elementals were being asked to alter the very way nature worked, breaking the founding principle behind the elemental craft and the agreement they had with their gods. And so, for not having better control over when and how they used their gift, the gods punished the elementals. Slowly, elementals began to lose their magic. Families that consisted of generations of elementals were dying out in terms of their gift. New elementals became rarer and rarer.

The Chain acted quickly when word spread that their people were losing their gift. They pulled their powers together and created a new world in which their kind could live peacefully. A world where they would not be influenced by people who didn't know their ways and understand them. With this new world created, the Chain opened a portal through which the elementals and their families could pass through. Not all Elementals made the choice to leave with their kind. They decided to stay, and hide in plain sight, practicing and learning their craft in secret. Teaching those that appeared to have the gift. And so the Chain promised that every few hundred years, the portal would reopen, and the Elementals would be able to pass through to the other side. The Split quickly followed (see chapter 12 for information on the Split).

The leader of the Chain was Shamira, the youngest and most powerful of the chain, and the daughter of Malik and Chione, the reigning King and Queen of Novus Coeptus, the elemental world. Shamira is the guardian of not only one element, but all four.

Four clans, for the four elements, rule over the land along with the Chain and King and Queen: Atl, Tlalli, Xipil, and Ihuicatl. There is war, there is peace. Since the time of the Crossing, most of the people have forgotten the old world. But there are those that haven't, and those that are waiting for the time to return and unite the two worlds.

From the sky lightning will strike,

Those from the water will walk the land,

The sleeping earth will awaken,

From the ashes the Council will rise.
