Another life, another time, another war. In which the battles that took place before the awakening of our beloved Airbender takes a drastic turn With the Avatar, the Bridge between the Spirit World and the Physical World, missing the world falls into chaos as conflict rises not only between man, but embodiments of nature itself. Follow along in this tale of Tai, a simple orphan turned farmhand, and the group of unlikely friends he makes along the way as they struggle to make sense of the world gone seemingly mad. Perhaps, maybe, just maybe they didn't need a Master of the Four Elements and Bringer of Balance to bring peace? Maybe what the world really needed was a bunch of crazy, snarky kids, with a positive attitude willing to lend a helping hand? ...Oh who was he kidding, the world was doomed wasn't it?   Alternate universe/timeline Avatar the last airbender fanfic. Takes place decades before Aang would've come into play. An altered world history as I reimagine it. (Mostly because I have gripes about the fire nation and how the earth nation isn't an absolutely dominating force in warfare.) Of course, the fire nation is still winning... for now. A hundred years of war is a long time, and nothing drives innovation more than war as they say.
