In a world where many bend only fire, air, water, or earth, the Avatar masters all four to keep the peace and serve as the bridge between the Spirits and humanity. For thousands of years, one avatar would be born after the other to maintain the bal...
A burning fist struck through the shadows, illuminating it with red flames.
"Air..."
Leaves on a silvery breeze danced around the nimble legs of the one directing them.
"Water..."
Blue waves flooded the floor, then rose and rained thousands of drops upon their caster.
"Earth..."
At the beck of slender hands, several green and brown pillars erupted from the ground.
The pillars rose higher and higher until they finally stopped in the sky, their sculpted tips forming an army of statues.
"For many years, I have heard tales about the Avatar, master of all four elements. I have heard how each one would be born and bring peace to the world..."
The statues, Avatars from centuries past, stood side by side, and each represented the Fire Nation, Air Nomads, Water Tribes, and Earth Kingdoms. One by one, the Avatars' eyes glowed until they were an army of lights. Yet, two overshadowed them all.

"And so, like with Aang, there was no sign of the new Avatar. There have been rumors, though. Sightings of a stranger wandering from place to place."
Amongst the whispering crowds of merchants, workers, soldiers, and even Spirits, a lone figure in a coat and hood strolled down aimlessly.
"I will search for this stranger. I will see if what they say is true. If it is, if this is the Avatar, then perhaps I can find what I've been looking for so long..."
Under the shadow of the lonesome being's hood, a pair of eyes glowed bright white...
