Avatar: The Last Airbender Rewritten

by LJB-1998

This is my version of the 2005 cartoon series. Aang was twelve when he was told he was the new Avatar. Aang didn't run away and accepted his role as the Avatar. At sixteen he was on his way to the south pole when him and Appa got caught in the storm and frozen in the iceberg. Aang completed all of his Avatar training in the four years between. Aang wakes 100 years later.

Disclaimer: I don't own Avatar: The Last Airbender or anything to do with the Avatar franchise.

Water. Earth. Fire. Air.

My grandmother used to tell me stories about the old days, a time of peace.

When the Avatar kept balance between the Water Tribes, Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation and Air Nomads but that all changed when the Fire Nation attacked.

Only the Avatar mastered all four elements, only he could stop the ruthless fire benders but when the world needed him most, he vanished.

A hundred years have passed and the Fire Nation is nearing victory in the war.

Two years ago my father and the men of my tribe journeyed to the Earth Kingdom to help fight against the Fire Nation, leaving me and my brother to look after our tribe.

Some people believe that the Avatar was never reborn into the Air Nomads and that the cycle is broken but I haven't lost hope, I still believe that somehow that the Avatar will return to save the world.
