Three years after the war Zuko is living a life of duty while Katara reluctantly travels the world with Aang. When General Iroh orders them to find Zuko's mother and save the Order of the White Lotus they seize the opportunity with both hands. It's the beginning of an adventurous journey of discovery, but as time runs out a rising threat puts their bond to the test. *** The chapter titles are based on story prompts by deviantArt's Zutara Eternity and various Zutara Weeks/Months. *** Gaang character ages in this story: Zuko : 20 years old (since summer) Katara : 17 years old (18 years old in the coming winter) Aang : 16 years old (since this autumn) Toph : 16 years old (since spring) Sokka : 18 years old (19 years old in the coming winter) Suki : 19 years old (since spring)

"16 years ago, Avatar Aang passed away at the late age of 98. He fought off attacks of the Fire Nation nearly his entire life, leaving behind a great legacy. His death was tragic, though in peace," the lady closed her eyes as to remember the late hero for a short moment before she continued, " he passed in his sleep, surrounded by family and love.

The war ended 6 years ago. It's been two years since Zuko and Katara have seen each other. The Gaang tries to see each other as much as possible, but as time goes on, it gets harder. During a much needed break, the Gaang reunites to celebrate Suki and Sokka's engagement.
