A/N: This is a brief preview for an AU I've been dabbling with of late. I basically took Avatar: TLA, mixed up some backstories, added a healthy dose of crazy, and spit this out. I'm still developing everything, and I have bigger stories planned, so if you want more, you must leave a review. I'm insisting on three before I update again, which doesn't seem too much to ask, given the size of the Avatar fandom. Just click the box and drop me a couple lines. Alright? Good. I'll consider any ideas anyone throws my way as well, if you're interested. All you have to do is hit that button.
Air…Water…Earth…Fire.
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 Earth Kingdom attacked.
Only the Avatar mastered all four elements. Only he could stop the relentless earthbenders. But when the world needed him most, he vanished.
A hundred years have passed and the Earth Kingdom is nearing victory in the war. Two years ago, my father and the men of my tribe journeyed to the Air Temples to help fight against the Earth Kingdom, leaving me and my brother to look after our tribe.
Some people believe that the Avatar was never reborn into the Fire Nation and that the cycle is broken, but I haven't lost hope. I still believe that somehow the Avatar will return to save the world.
