In Volume 1 of Avatar of the Frozen Behemoth, we follow 15-year-old Yukio, a boy living a simple life in Spadia, a city blanketed by ice and steeped in tradition. His days are filled with the everyday joys of being with his family and friends, as he navigates the familiar cold streets and participates in the customs of his people. However, during the annual Senroco ceremony, Yukio begins experiencing haunting visions he cannot understand, shattering his sense of normalcy.
Feeling increasingly isolated and desperate for answers, he seeks help from the king, only to be dismissed and expelled, deepening his sense of rejection. In his search for understanding, Yukio retreats into the wilderness, unknowingly leaving a trail of snowy footprints that lead Janoan soldiers directly to Spadia. As the invasion unfolds, a devastating fire bomb strikes the city, igniting chaos and triggering an avalanche that buries his home.
Overwhelmed by guilt for the destruction and the loss of his loved ones, Yukio's journey unfolds amidst this turmoil, setting the stage for a gripping tale of survival, emotional struggle, and the quest for redemption.
Volume 1 is a haunting tale of destiny, betrayal, and the slow unfreezing of a buried legacy. Enter a world where sorrow leaves footprints... and the ice remembers everything.
In a world where the Avatar cycles through the four elements, a mistake is made after Avatar Aang is frozen in the ice. His heart stops for five minutes, long enough for a sizable piece of the Avatar spirit to break off before his heart begins beating again. The broken spirit piece is lost to the spirit world, and 12 years before Aang is discovered, a baby girl is born as the new Avatar. Because the world assumed the Avatar cycle was broken, she is never discovered as the Avatar, let alone a bender at all.
Several years after the world is saved from Ozai, Aang takes a personal leave to figure things out with himself, after a messy breakup with Katara. On a small, seemingly deserted island outside the earth kingdom, he finds Y/N, who he discovers can bend unknowingly. A fire sparks between the two of them, and they find that they are the first ever co-Avatars in existence, which could turn out to be a problem, considering Y/N's spirit is trying to rip itself in half to meld together with Aang's once more.
