Sixteen years ago, Iyla's mother and forty-one other gifted Aetrians fell to the shadows bordering their home. The Kingdom of Aetria lies close to the Forest of Erebus, a realm where humanity disintegrates and minds are taken. Erebus has been silent for many years, but when its malicious forces abruptly awaken from their long seasoned slumber, Iyla must decide if it's finally time to reveal her gift. A gift that gives her complete control over the nature of water. The people once praised Aetrian gifted, but ever since her kind succumbed to the darkness, her gift only brings fear. If her ability was ever exposed, it could lead Aetria down a familiar path with an even more disastrous outcome than before.
Voices call out, offering her the control she needs to expand her gift's capabilities and bring salvation to the lands. But giving into the voices in her head means short-lived mastery of her gift and coming one step closer to the consumption of her mind.
Despite dealing with her father's manipulation over her people, Iyla seeks help from her closest friend, Shae. With the shadows looming over their home, the two must find a way to conquer their home's limited power and protection. Seeking out the other kingdoms and villages of Arei becomes essential in the defeat of Erebus, and each realm must decide if they are stronger together or wiser apart, all while trying to avoid the same fate as the gifted of Aetria.

A Zuko X Reader story. As always, I wrote this for myself but you can read it, too, if you'd like. Y/N was an air bender, she was tasked with watching over the avatar as a punishment for something that she had done; something that the air nomads frowned upon her for. When she discovered what had become of her people, she was furious- but not at the Fire Nation, she was furious at Aang, because Aang was supposed to protect them, and he didn't. But was it Aang that she was really angry at?Complete

Aqua croaked out in a hoarse voice. "Yes, Aqua, it's me. Don't worry I will get you out of here." Terra reassured as she began to gently help Aqua sit up. "Terra, where is Aura?" Aqua asked in a raspy voice. Terra paused and thought for a minute. Where was Aura? "I don't know. She actually led me here, but I don't know where she went."

Flames Of Fate (Zuko X Reader)
There is an old folklore about the Children of the Forest. They were mortal spirits who were the First Benders with the ability to travel freely to the spirit world and to the human realm. Each with their own element of air, water, earth and fire. They were one with their elemental animals and travelled the spirit and human realm freely. Fire Lord Azulon was one of the very few humans aware that this folklore was more than a mere legend, although slightly altered, but factual. He sought out dragons and in one of his searches he found a Child of the Forest with a Fire Element by sheer unfortunate luck and after defeating her, he imprisoned her. (Y/N) was seen as the key object of victory within the Fire Nation and a driving force of power to their legacy and supremacy but to Zuko she was not a weapon of mass destruction or a spirit creature; she was so much more. As the Sozins Comet approaches and the Avatar Aang prepares to face Firelord Ozai with the help of his friends, it's clear that Zuko and (Y/N)'s paths are more far apart than they know. (Y/N) has to decide; stay in the human world with him and risk it all or return home to the spirit world where she belongs. ♥╣[-_-]╠♥ACTIVE UPDATES TWICE A WEEK♥╣[-_-]╠♥Complete
