It's been many years since the end of the four nations and Republic City. Since then many things were lost. The spirit world is known to only a select few, the number of known benders have reduced greatly and the four nations have been replace by th...
I was standing on a balcony in the castle, taking in the sights and watching the Grimm taking form. I need to find a way to make more. These pools can only copy the originals for so long. As if the brothers heard my wish, a massive green portal shot up in the sky
Salem: Tyrian...
Tyrian: Yes, your grace?
Salem: Take Hazel and as many Grimm as you can muster and make your way to that portal. Taking what's inside is the solution to our Grimm predicament
Tyrian: Oooooo, right away your grace!
Y/N'S POV
When I wake up, my head was pounding as if someone had thrown an airship on top of my head. When I look around, I see the guy from before and somehow I knew his name
Y/N: Ugh, hey Zaheer. I'm guessing you did this
Zaheer: I had no choice. The Avatar State kicked in and I had to defend myself
Y/N: Yeah, I heard Ren mention that but what is it? The Avatar State, I mean
Zaheer: A defense mechanism that draws from all of your past lives. It must have triggered because of Avatar Korra's memories
Y/N: Oh yeah, you tried to kill her didn't you?
Zaheer: Regretfully so. But now instead of killing you, Iroh and I want to train you
Y/N: Thanks but I'm good. I don't need help from the guy who tried to kill one of my past lives
Zaheer: Fine, then fight me
Y/N: Huh?
Zaheer: If you think your Airbending is good enough to face Salem, then fight me
Nyima: I can teach him by myself
Zaheer: Even masters have things to learn. So both of you, prepare to fight
We both look at each other and, knowing we'd obviously lose, just looked back at him and nodded
Y/N: Fine, you win
Zaheer: Good. Now let's get to work. Time flows differently in the Spirit World so we have plenty of time. I will train you and Nyima, Iroh will help with your Firebending and Fe Long will get you started on Earthbending
After what felt like a day had past, Zaheer met with us in what looked like some sort of grove

Y/N: Where is this?
Zaheer: My favorite meditation spot. Welcome to Xai Bau's Grove
Nyima: It's so beautiful
Zaheer: I agree. For now though, we will meditate. If we get far enough, I will get you two started on the path of flight
Nyima: Flight? I didn't know Airbenders could fly
Zaheer: Not many do. It is done by releasing yourself of all earthly attachments
Y/N: What? Let everything go? Even friends?
Zaheer: Why not? Your predecessor did it
Y/N: I'm not my predecessor
He sighed and we tried to do so anyway. Safe to say it didn't work. After some time learning Airbending from Zaheer and Nyima, Iroh decided to help me with something I apparently did according to Yang
Iroh: While I cannot Combustion Bend myself, my nephew once hired one who did. He blew his arm and leg off and had to have them replace. This is why I must try to teach you
Y/N: Ok, let's begin
He moved away the hair in front of my forehead away and drew a mark in the shape of an eye
Iroh: Think of it the same way as your firebending. Focus all that chi into your forehead and fire
I tried to do as instructed but it simply blew up in my face. Iroh sighed and helped me up
Iroh: A pity so few firebenders know proper control. Try it some more while talk with your lazy friend. He seems quite annoyed with me and Zaheer
With that he walked away and I continued my practice. Who's ever heard of controlling fire?
FE LONG'S POV
What is this? He's spent all day learning air and fire and all I've done is sleep. What kind of teacher am I if nobody will let me teach!! The old man can to me and I felt the ground beneath me melt away
Fe Long: What do you want old man? Done hording the Avatar
Iroh: You are welcome to take him whenever you please. Why haven't you?
Fe Long: Believe me I'd like to but..
Iroh: But you are lazy
I snapped up as molten rock started floating in the air
Fe Long: Wanna repeat that?
Iroh: Of course. I said you were lazy. All you ever do is sleep until someone speaks up. Still, you have great talent. Why waste it?
I sighed and laid against a tree
Fe Long: I have nowhere to go but down. I can lift an entire city while barely trying but everything's slow now. The days and nights feel longer and I don't know what to do with the time. I was hoping the avatar could give me motivation but so far nothing has changed
Iroh: A new chapter in life may start slow. But you cannot rely on others to help you turn the page. You must take the initiative. It will take time but eventually the story will unfold
We both watched Y/N who blasted a tree
Iroh: He's a fast leaner. He will need a teacher to match his pace
I nodded and got up, walking over to my "student"
Fe Long: Hey, Y/N!
Y/N: Fe! Did you see!? I can combustion bend
Fe Long: Yeah, I did. Now take break. Then we'll get you started Earth Bending training
(Hey everyone. Sorry it's been so long but the way I'm feeling rn gave me an idea. Hope you enjoy. See Ya!!)
