K: What I believe to be the first truly DARK Avatar fanfic. And I got to write it first. Go me.


Setting:

Post-comet and post-war. Aang and his friends, pressed for time, attempted to defeat Ozai without completely mastering all four elements on the day of the solar eclipse. Aang is easily overpowered, despite the Fire Lord's weakened state, and Ozai destroys the rebel armies in a magnificent display of power. During the battle, Aang's friends, Bumi, Sokka, and Katara are killed. Toph later dies from injuries recieved on the battlefield.

Angered and aggrieved, Aang faces Ozai in the Avatar State, nearly dying himself and ending the reincarnation cycle, but is saved by Prince Zuko at the last second. While he is recovering, Sozin's Comet returns, fueling Ozai's power and sealing the fate of the world.

Now Aang must decide whether to continue fighting in the hope of fulfilling his destiny, or to give in to the despair that surrounds him.



Descendere

Water. Earth. Fire. Air.

A long time ago, the four nations of our world lived in relative harmony. Every century or so one of the kingdoms would attempt to expand their borders and enslave the rest, but the Avatar, master of all elements, would rise and restore balance to the planet.

But this time, it was different.

This time, I failed.
