Years before the Siege of Ba Sing Se, General Iroh discovers a young girl among the remains of a decimated Water Tribe village. Raised in the heart of the Fire Nation, she grows close to the young crown prince and accompanies him and Iroh on their adventures. ________________________________________________________________________________ **This is an old story I had written in my head years ago when the series was still on Nickelodeon, and most of what I had originally written out was dialogue, so I apologize for any lack of detail or imagery-I don't have much time to devote to it as I'd like. I've read quite a few fanfic stories out there and this one isn't very good in comparison, but I'll post it for others who might find it entertaining--it was certainly entertaining to write. Also, I understand a lot of readers don't like stories that follow canon. This one does follow the show for the most part, but eventually digresses, follows, and digresses again. Disclaimer: I own nothing of the world of ATLA, although a few characters were seriously harmed (or killed) in the imagining of this fictional story.

Cover art by depino on DeviantArt Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony, but everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them. But, when the world needed him most, he vanished. 100 years passed, and a new avatar was found. An airbender named Aang. Though his powers are great, he has a lot to learn before he's ready to same anyone. But many people believed Aang could save the world.... And he did! But it's time you heard the story from a whole new perspective. Perhaps....from the girl that no one knew.

Kai is a disgraced outcast from the Earth Kingdom. Scarred and banished as a child when she wasn't ready to complete the mission that she was born and raised to fulfill. Zuko was sent on a wild goose chase masked as an opportunity to restore his honor. He's learning that this was only a guise to get him off of the throne, and it's made him question everything. But Kai and Zuko aren't kids anymore. And their paths will cross more than once, but under different circumstances as Zuko hunts the Avatar and Kai works to help Aang bring down the Fire Nation.

I'll try to put the season and episode number at the top of every story. **If you've read any of my other stories, you'll know that there's usually tons of sex and drugs involved. This one is different. There will be a tiny bit of sex, and a little vulgarity on OC's part, but mostly just smut and slow burn. Characters are aged up by a few years. I hope you guys like it.**

The story of the girl behind it all.
