What I'm about to tell you is completely against our rules. For over hundreds of years, they've been in hiding, completely isolated from the public. They will do anything to keep their secret safe. But under the circumstances…you need to know. Otherwise, everything that's ever happened in our history is at risk.
Who are we? We're…benders. Yeah, I know, the Nickelodeon show, blah, blah, blah. But let me tell you this, straight off the bat: THIS IS NOT A TV SHOW. This is real. Every single thing that I tell you in this book happened. If not yet, it will soon.
For a thousand years, we've lived in peace. But, as if out of nowhere, something's happening. Something that hasn't been seen by human eyes yet, something that threatens to destroy our civilization as we know it. Those who know have called in the military, the scientists, everyone they think can help. But really, it comes down to us. And, ultimately, it comes down to me.
Take this seriously. This is no longer that children's show on Nick. This is much more real, with even more real dangers and risks. Everyone's life hangs in the balance. And the balance is about to tip.
