    Summary

    "Fire. Air. Water. Earth. My aunties used to tell me stories about the old days, a time of peace, when the Avatar kept balance between the Fire Nation, Air Nomads, Water Tribes, and Earth Kingdom. But that all changed when the Water Tribes attacked. Only the Avatar mastered all four elements. Only he could stop the ruthless waterbenders. But when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years have passed and the Water Tribes are nearing victory in the war. Five years ago, my father, uncle, and cousin journeyed to the Earth Kingdom to help fight against the Water Tribes, leaving me and my brother alone. Some people believe that the Avatar was never reborn into the Earth Kingdom, and that the cycle is broken. But my brother never lost hope. He still believes that, somehow, the Avatar will return to save the world."

    Summary

    Zuko was a child when he met Agni. Then, the spirits started coming to him. Eyes hidden in the hallways, voices pleading for help, for recognition, for remembrance.

    Zuko could see Agni. He could see the broken remains of a Great Spirit and the empty smiles of amnesiac ghosts.

    And they could see him in return.

    Summary

    Combustion Man never finds the Western Air Temple, and the Gaang goes ahead with the plan to capture Zuko and hold him prisoner so he can’t hurt anyone. Now Zuko has to convince them he’s on their side without having any proof he doesn’t want the Avatar dead anymore, and preferably before Katara decides to kill him.

    … If only he weren’t so bad at being good.

    Summary

    Zuko first feels it when he's thirteen, fire engulfing his face. A nagging pull, beckoning him far away from this awful place.

    Alternately, the sun spirit Agni gave Zuko life as an infant. It's time to repay that favor.
