This is a part of my Tales series. Taking inspiration from the Last Airbender episode, "Tales of Ba Sing Se". I'll be producing two simultaneous versions, one based during TLAB and revolving around those characters and one based on LOK and those Characters. Find them in that series' specific category. Also check out my LOK fanfic: The First Avatar (one of the characters in the LOK tales is an OC from there, she'll be getting her own tales and may appear in others)

Genres will vary from tale to tale, but will include, Romance, Humour, Angst, Tragedy and and Family. All Tales will be T-Rated.

These Tales will be brief but frequent (when possible) and may contain spoilers to TLAB and LOK. I will inform you of spoilers and if possible, the episodes they are from.

I do not own Avatar. I hope you enjoy!

Genre: Family sort of

Spoilers: None really

Timeframe and Location: Before Korra comes to Republic City.

Tales of The Legend of Korra

Tale of Mako: 1

The Pro-Bending Circuit

Mako was writing down some numbers in a large ledger, detailing the various monetary expenditures of the Triple Threats Triad. He and his little brother Bolin had been stuck working as makeshift accountants for them since their parent's died.

The triple threats were a criminal organisation, though Mako and Bolin had never been made to do anything 'technically illegal, they were still involved with them. After Mako finished his work for the day he dropped the ledger onto a random desk in the hideout and walked outside.

Bolin was there, being tormented by the full triad members, flicking sparks of fire at his feet and raising the ground in places to try and make him trip.

"HEY!" Mako roared, running toward the closest triad member, "STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM MY BROTHER!" and with a quick fiery punch, he knocked the fool several feet backwards, making him slam painfully into a wall.

Little did he know that he had just gained the attention of an old pro-bender.

Mako was quickly overwhelmed by the other two triad members with one holding his arms and the other getting dangerously close to his face with a ball of fire. The firebender was quickly knocked out by a rock colliding with the side of his face, bended at him by the now ticked off Bolin. Using the distraction, Mako smacked his head back into the remaining thug's head, making him lose his grip before a double bend from Mako and Bolin put him to sleep.

More thugs had come to watch the struggle but Mako just turned to them and yelled, "Consider that our resignation!"

As the two brothers walked away they were approached by a tan skinned man with white hair and muscles, "Name's Toza, Saw your little show back there and I was wondering if you'd consider forming a pro-bending team, I think you could do well." The man spoke gruffly.

"Pro-bending! That sounds great! Can we do it bro?" Bolin pleaded.

"Sure, if it gets us of the streets." Mako agreed.

Toza gave a slanted grin, "Great, now what to call ya…"

At that point, Pabu had decided to join them, crawling around Bolin's neck.

"How about the Fire Ferrets?" suggested Bolin.

Mako and Toza looked at each other for a moment before shrugging.

"Sounds good to us"

"Alright!" the young earthbender cheered, "We are the Fire Ferrets!"

And this is how i see the Fire ferrets being made! This may seem to fit both brothers but i decided to put it down as a Mako tale.

This was a request!

*NEWS* Due to time constraints I may be unable to update this story and the ATLA version everyday anymore. I will however alternate between the two, releasing one tale a day instead of two.

Thanks for Reading and please Review!
