The world is burning.
It is difficult to remember a time when corpses did not litter the ground, both benders and non-benders alike. Every city is a wreckage of ash and flame, the sky always tinged a shade of grey.
There is a myth, generations old - a prayer now, almost - whispered between shaking hands and fearful eyes in the heavy darkness of refugee bunkers. The story of the phoenix - when Kutrov was most desperately in need, a savior would come, decorated in gold, hands spread wide. They would summon the sun itself and hold its light in their blood. They would save them all.
And surely this is the time in which they are most at need, when the Inferni destroy homes and villages, burn entire families alive in their homes. Now, when the remaining few vanish underground - men, women, children - and train to fight, to kill even the slightest chance of a nagrevat'.
It has been 50 years since the legend of the phoenix was last told - it remains a faded page in a history book. They have been at war for a very, very long time.

REWRITING! ' Why Do You Shun Me When You Have Fallen? Why Do You Shun Me When You Have Fallen? ' _______________________________________________________________________________ An ominous presence stirred as the Sun's final rays slipped below the horizon, casting the land into darkness. Shrouded in mystery and danger, a new power emerged with the onset of twilight. A cascade of purple flames erupted, their fiery tongues reaching out hungrily to consume anything in their path. The air crackled with malice, and an aura of trepidation settled upon all who beheld this spectacle. None were spared from its wrath, for the purple flames spared no one. Amidst this chaos, a shadowy figure materialized, her countenance contorted into a sinister smirk. With teeth bared like a predator, the enigmatic being reveled in her newfound dominance. Her name was whispered in fear and awe-The Shadow. She possessed an arsenal of lethal weapons, her claws gleaming ominously in the dim light. Fear was foreign to her, for she embraced the darkness that enveloped her. Beware, for the arrival of the Night loomed ominously, signaling the demise of the radiant Sun. The world was thrust into an eternal night, where the moon's pale glow held sway. It was a time of survival, a battle for existence against the encroaching darkness. Those who dared to face the challenge were urged to be resilient and determined. The Sunre, a chosen few who dared to resist the Night's dominion, were called upon to stand firm against the relentless onslaught. But it was an arduous task, one that demanded unwavering fortitude. ____________________________________________________________________________Complete
