Avatar Shele: The Windmaster

It was in 2630 BSC that the great Avatar Kivan perished, and so was born a little girl named Shele in the Western Air Temple. The elder monks predicted she would have a great destiny, and by age three her identity as the Avatar was discovered, so she was heavily laden with responsibility. By the age of fifteen, she had mastered the airbending technique, and was told of her identity as the Avatar. Her journey began to master the four elements.

Shele first traveled to the Water Tribe, but the mentors refused to teach her because she was female. The Elders revoked their decision, stating that the world needed the Avatar and rules must be bent for her favor. Her teachers were hardest on her, but she overwhelmed them and succeeded, in just over two years she mastered Waterbending, dueling all the masters and defeating them, vowing never to return to the Water Tribe.

Next, Shele traveled to the Earth Nation, it was in the stepping stones on the Earth Kingdom that a stubborn hard-headed Earthbender taught her everything she needed to know about the skill. She mastered Earthbending after twelve long years of training.

Finally, Shele traveled to Ember Island, in the Shrine of Avatar Kivan, she mastered the art of Firebending, as well as the Avatar State. Ten more years allowed her to become a fully realized Avatar, and she returned to the Western Air Temple to receive her title. At thirty-nine, Shele was rather old for a new avatar, but she was respected nonetheless, and although she was not old enough to be an elder, she was offered the chance to be one when she reached fifty. She refused, and began traveling the world.

When Shele was sixty, she was called to the Earth Nation, it's capital of Omashu was having a war with the small city of Ba Sing Se nearby, the Baron of Ba Sing Se wanted revenge for the old Omashu Empire occupation of his city. He used a powerful earthbending techniques to hurl large boulders at cities Omashu was allied against. The two soon formed opposing kingdoms, on different sides of a bloody war, and even Shele's power couldn't stop the onslaught. After four years, Shele traveled to the other nations, looking for allies, she found none in her temples, for none believed in violence. However, she allied with Chieftain Vorgen of the Water Tribe, Fire Lord Tom-Tom of the Fire Nation, and many other smaller nations in the world. Earth Baron Wilm was thankful for her help, and the war was soon over.

2500 BSC was one of the most terrible years for the world in Shele's era. Fire Lord Jantor tried to use the power of the comet to destroy the city of Ba Sing Se, and he succeeded in setting fire to half the city, but Shele would defeat him, and their would be peace for over three hundred years.

In 2135 BSC, the ancient avatar returned to the Earth Nation, when another civil war had ensued, although this was not nearly as bloody, it divided the provinces of the Earth Nation so much, that many called themselves the Earth Baron, but they were not, the seperation lasted ten years, and in 2125 BSC, Shele ended the war, the past avatars each gave a warning, if the Earth Nation did not unite, it would become lost, and the the next avatar would be forced to destroy it. Everyone agreed to peace, and Shele helped set up the new Earth Kingdom, the first man to make the decision to follow the Avatar's commands was named the 1st Earth King, and the modern day Earth Kingdom was established. Today, the Earth Nation is known as the Middle Earth Kingdom, and The Omashu Kingdom known as the Old Earth Kingdom. Shele retired and returned to the Western Air Temple, getting the honor of Elder. Shele lived to be a ripe old age of six-hundred and thirty before she quietly passed away, and far off in the Water Tribe, Avatar Imoen was born.

Avatar Kivan's story will be on the 26th. It really seems to be going into old times, but I still have a few cycles to go before I get to Avatar Sky. Please Review
