It was several years after the war. The world was trying to cope with change and everybody was with their own again trying their best to fix up their towns, cities, and villages. Rogue firebenders who were too haughty to admit defeat went off into secret camps now becoming the new rebels in a world trying to uphold peace, as they still believed in fire lord Ozai's ways. But many firebenders bowed to their new fire lord, Iroh, with his nephew, prince Zuko, the new representative embassador to the Fire Nation. Many knew Iroh was only accepting to be fire lord to set a better example for Zuko as to how a leader should be, minus all the demand for tea, and also knew that the burden for right after the war would be too much and a young man like Zuko. It would be better for Iroh, in his old wise age, to become fire lord and fix as much damage that Ozai had done to hand a better kingdom over to the next in line. Iroh was doing a great job running the fire nation and restoring its trust to the other kingdoms and reparing most of the damage that was done.
In the water nation, they were reparing well as Iroh had given them ships from the fire nation as a sign of peace. They had rebuilt their bases in the north and south as the different water benders were adjusting to the currents of peace. Though the only main issue was the small prejudice issue between the artic water benders, the mediterranean water benders, the swamp water benders, and the different water benders from different parts of the world. The colder water benders believed that hard work and strength along with tight customs should be upheld strongly as the warmer watered waterbenders were more relax and went with the flow, to say. But they still held together as best as they could with trades of goods from the pelts and meats of the animals from the artics to the fresh vegetables and fresh fruits. Katara had become the waterbender representative embassador along with a waterbender from the warmer waters, whose name was Maylea. They were the best of friends in the different waterbender tribes and also enjoyed trading the unique luxuries from each place. But the waterbenders did not limit their trade to just eachother, they even had shops running in the fire nation and earth kingom.
The Air kingdom though was something to a surprise, especially when Aang and everybody found out they still existed. It was a surprise while walking through a village to see a girl with long brown hair in normal clothing picking up a large jug full of fruit and having a strange blue arrow running down her exposed right hand. Aang, Katara, and Suki were with him at the time and when Aang saw the girl he grabbed her arm and pulled her sleeve up to expose her arm as she was surprised shouting at him what is he doing to her? And with a great shove, she pushed him. Aang felt more than just a push, she airbended him away from her. She quickly picked up her shopping and ran off quite fast. Katara and Suki were surprised as Aang gave chase and they followed. The girl ran off deep into the fields and land and just seem to have disappeared. But something was strange. Aang asked Suki to go get Toph as he and Katara looked around.
When Toph came she touched the ground and breathed deeply.
"There's something here... under the ground... holes that are emitting strong waves of air currents like geysers. No, the gysers are deeper than the holes that are on the top of this terrain, the geysers are being used as entrance ways! There's something past the geysers!" Toph exclaimed as everybody looked amazed.
Aang and Katara went off as Toph and Suki followed. They found the geysers and just looked at it breathing deep in the suspense. Out of nowhere shot out of the many geysers four people rising out of them with long wooden poles dressed in brown and yellow robes, they released the gliders that hid in the poles and then fell with strong attack, that Aang had used various times before, using the poles to direct the air attack sending strong waves of air towards the group. Aang had blocked with a strong air wall as the four people paused. Aang and the people looked at eachother carefully. Just like him, the three males had shaved heads and the blue arrow tattoos but a bit different as the only female with them had her tattoos on her arms but had flowing brown hair. There was a new style to it but it was still the airbender symbol. They looked at Aang surprised that he had such a strong airbending power, even more powerful than anybody in their secret air tribe.
Aang got to know the people and revealed and opened up who he was to them. He found out how the last few airbenders went and hid in underground tribes still practicing airbending and using the geysers as a way to fly out using the heat & steam from the water to push them out of their underground tribes. Aang asked, how did they get back in since it'd be dangerous to go against the geysers? They kind of giggled and revealed to Aang that they had to climb through secret statues to get through in and out the easy way. They were happy to find the Avatar airbender and welcomed him and his friends with opened arms and told him about several other tribes located in different places and Aang was happy to reveal how peace has come. So he and Toph went to the underground world to see a large temple, just like the old temples but with a new touch, and used their earthbending powers to push into the earth and broke the way for the temple to rise, not just rise where it stood on the earth, but like the old temples, they broke the ground and placed it high on a mountain past the clouds into the sky. The airbenders rejoyced now being able to come out of their hiding and told Aang of several different air bending tribes that need to see the light to come out. Though the older folks had a hard time adjusting to peace and trusting the firenation, it was possible for change. So Aang went off with the other airbenders to find other airbending tribes and send the news out of peace and to motion that airbenders can once again rule the skies. But Aang still did his part of the world by being the Avatar and protecting the world as well as naming an airbender representative embassador: Monk Pryor, who was old but wise and got along well with fire lord Iroh.
And the earth kingdom was doing well. Ba Sing Se became the new capital for the earth kingdom. Toph had become titled to be the representative embassador for the Earth kingdom for all the kings and generals as they held her as the master of all earthbending. She even could bend metal which was an acheivement that was hard to master. All teachers hailed her but yet she was not happy. The whole Bei Fong family moved to Ba Sing Se and reveled in the riches and high luxuries that was offered to them for their daughter being who she was. She was also now a trapped bird. Nobody knew how her family felt about her or how they handled the young embassador. Everybody just knew how she kept a prim, proper, and strong apperance being there for the meetings in the different nations and set a sense of peace to the whole earth kingdom knowing that the most powerful earthbender was there. The fire nation and the earth kingdom were close since both had a power source that was wanted, coal. So coal trade along with other trades were what kept that bond between the two places.
But now the next meeting for the embassadors along with nobles and lower representatives was to occur, and the place of meet, was Ba Sing Se where the earth kings were holding a giant party banquet and reserving the largest hall for the meeting.
