Spirits

Exe Origins

"Our tale begins over 10000000 years ago long  before the last of the spirit nation fell... or so it was presumed.
They learnt from the stars and the spirits themselves watching the oldest creatures, learning methods,forms, the ways of the universe, elemental bending, and the most powerful of bending during the dark of night.
During the day they practised to there hearts content, hiding in the shadows and concealing themselves from the world.
Untill they were known as the shadows themselves. They taught few and fewer learned ever so cautious of revealing power to the wrong people.
They saught only to heal and there master's watched with a close eye as they grew there powers.
And in return for there survice they were gifted eternity, of course only to those who were the most pure.
At the age of just 5 they tested the younglings powers accepting only the most powerful and purest.
The shadowers were known for beauty and there incredible powers and as there legends spread through the disloyal the world became jealous. The Avatars arrived to protect them knowing that they would be needed to restore peace along side a shadow one day. But alas even they were struck down by the other elemental masters. Jealously stricken, or so it is said the masters stopped at nothing to search for the shadows only finding them thousands of years later. They begged to be taught but were cast away, maddened they destroyed all  what remained of the shadowers or so they thought...
Legend says that the avatar took only the most pure and powerful of the shadows and pleaded with the stars and the spirits for there sanctuary. The stars were heartbroken over there loss and agreed to turn the last shadow into a statue and spirits allowed for a passage to there world as a thankyou to the avatar and encased the shadowers mind there. The shadower would only return when the avatar and the world needed them most "

" grangran when are the avatar and the sha-dow coming back?" a puzzled and rather small  Katara questioned.

" when's dad coming back?" a grumpy Sokka muttured.

" now, now Sokka you know I wish I could tell you my love but I know not... as for your question dear Katara I cannot answer either but we can hope it will be sooner rather than later." Gran-gran lovingly spoke.
She then proceeded to tuck her grandchildren in, wish them goodnight and trudge of to her chilly hut.
'we can hope' she thought as she lay down to rest, the very same thing on the minds of her two cherubs.
