DISCLAIMER, PREWORDS, & PROLOGUE

1. Disclaimer

This is my first fanfiction to be honest and I never write a disclaimer before. So please if anyone wants to help me write a better one, you are free to tell me.

--- All recognizable characters, locations, terms, and objects, etc etc; ARE NOT owned by me. All of them belong to Nickelodeon. I am not in any way associated with the rightful owner or creator of the Avatar franchises. I don't make money of this fanfiction.

Though, the main characters and the story here are my original creation. ---

2. Prewords

(Again) This is my first fanfiction. Actually I have many other ideas for another fanfiction from other franchise. But I decided to write this one first.

This is going to be a 3-part story. I want to write a full-book for this fanfic, but first I need to see how the idea of this story is received. Then after that, I may (or may not) write the full-book continuing this story, with bigger plot more original characters.

Please enjoy (or not; because it's may have poor grammar and poor technical excecution)!!!

3. Prologue

THREE YEARS LATTER

Today mark three years after he first moved here to the Fire Nation. There was no other choice. The Earth Empire was heading toward the Republic with its mighty and strong-looking machinery. He was still fourteen when his parents told him that they were going to leave the Republic.

Fortunately, his family had more than enough resources to move or even start a new life somewhere else. His father worked as a high-ranking officer for the Republic -a civil servant. Back then, he was good father who was -gratefully- able to provide materialistic support for his family.

But he could be better if he stayed home more often, Rei thought of his father.

When he was told to move, Rei felt so saddened because the fact that he had to be separated with his friends. Some of his friends from the Republic also moved away before the war happened. But not everyone went to the Fire Nation just like him. Some scattered to other territories while some other took refuge at the Air Temple Island.

Now he is already grown accustomed with the new life in the Fire Nation.

He even befriended a girl of his age, right after he moved here. He felt all the warm recipient of the people in this country. It only took him few months for him to adapt in the new society.

War is over and peace has returned. But life feels incomplete for Rei. Ever since he was a child, he always wanted to be a bender.

Any bending is fine. It could be bursting the vermilion and fierce fire from his hand. Create a ball of condensed air by his mouth. Raise a tall earth wall with his fist. Or even cooler freeze a lake.

But he was not born until one. So up until now, all he can do is honing his physical body and strength. As well as learning the fighting skills just as the same as a bender.

He admires and at the same time envies those people who were born with a bending ability. His friend, Yuni, always teases him with her firebending shows.

So, he heard the news that new airbenders were found after the Convergence, he felt disappointed because he was not one of them. All he dreams of right now is to be a bender.

He never sees it coming. The day when he follows the lone spirit that is usually not present at the forest where he usually go.

The spirit that would lead him to a fateful fight where he awoken his mysterious power.

And certainly the mysterious power is not airbending.
