Part 1
----------------------------------------
What the hell??? Where am I?? And can anyone please turn on the goddamn lights!! It’s so dark here it’s like dark void here.
“It’s not like a dark void it is a dark void, you idiot.”[???]
‘Looks like I finally went off the deep end and created another person inside my head’
“Dude, just listen you’re not insane you’re dead”[???}
‘And the good news just keeps coming!!!’
“Okay, I’m gonna be over there if you need me.” [???]
This is obviously some sort of prank that my dad pulled, he’s done this shit one too many times and this time I’m not gonna let it slide. Okay, let’s just play along shall we.
‘You can come back now.’
“Took you long enough, anyways I am God” [(self-proclaimed) God]
‘Well nice to meet you God, My name is Kim Jong Un. You know I always did want to meet my maker. ‘
“Okay Dude you can cut the crap now I read your mind and NO this is not some prank by your dad.” [God (apparently)]
‘Fine, what do you want with me O’Almighty lord.’
“Well you see the car that killed you was mine and I was Kind of driving it, heh” [God]
‘So what now?’
“Well you’re going to be reborn in my favourite comics universe as my favourite character” [God]
‘And that world and character is………..’
“Of course the world of Avatar and my favourite character is Zuko” [God]
‘You do realize Zuko is the most shitty fire bender ever.’
“Fine I’ll give you a shit ton talent and knowledge in fire bending and as a gift you can also have all your skill and martial arts that you had in your previous life as well”[God]
‘Deal.’
“Deal. Oh and by the way why did you suddenly start believing me?”[God]
‘Well you see halfway through I realized I was thinking not talking and you know not everyone can read minds.’
“Well looks like we’re out of time. Ciao.”
Just as I was about to shout at him, I lost consciousness.

Part 2
----------------------------------------
I woke in a very confined space and everything around me was incredibly wet and slimy. I could not see but I knew from all the light novels that I was inside my mother’s stomach.
‘This shit is disgusting.’
As I was thinking how slimy it was, I suddenly felt a large pressure being exerted on my small body. As soon as the pressure disappeared I felt hands grabbing me and as I opened my eyes, I had close them immediately because of the bright light that was extremely painful for my delicate newborn eyes. The pain caused me to start crying.
“WAAAAAAAAH WAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!”[MC]
“Doctor give me my son.” [???}
As soon as I heard that beautiful Voice I stopped crying and looked up as I was handed to Beautiful woman who was sitting on the table. She had the most delicate face with golden eyes and dark brown hair that looked almost black. I instinctively knew she was my mother.
“Hi there little one. I am your mother, Ursa.” [Ursa]
As she said that a man with pitch black hair going down till his shoulder blades , cruel golden eyes, a straight nose and a stern face with a goatee that went down to his chest walked forward and said.
“And I am your father, second son of the fire lord Azulon, Prince Ozai.”[Ozai]
I knew what type of person my father was am yet I could not bring myself to dislike, I think it may be due to the love I had for my previous father.
I felt tired and probably noticing my expression my mother started to feed me. After the feeding I felt unbelievably sleepy and could not help but fall asleep.
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

Part 3
----------------------------------------
When I woke up I noticed I was in a room that looked like a traditional Japanese room. There was a shelf lined with various scrolls. As I could not do anything, I thought about my situation. I was in the body of Zuko and I was just born so that means in twelve to thirteen years I’m gonna get a nasty scar compliments of dad. Now in a few years Azula will be born and I’ve gotta make sure I’m on good terms with her otherwise my life’s going to become a living hell. Next I have to become a great fire bender otherwise I’m going to have to chase Aang all around the world and I don’t want to do that. What I really want is to conquer the world under the fire nation’s banner, so that’s goal number 1.
All this thinking is making me really tired, damn you body. And after damning my baby body I fell asleep.
----------------------------------------
Part 4
----------------------------------------
Its been 11 months and I can now crawl *clap*clap*. So the first thing that I did was crawl over to the shelf and take the scrolls. As I opened them they had pictures of fire bending techniques and instructions on how to perform them. I was pretty stoked that I would be able to generate fire, I mean who on earth wouldn’t want to learn how to fire bend.
I picked up the most basic scroll that how one could generate fire. I could already read and understand this language without any effort because of probably God.
The scroll instructed me to search inside of myself and look for fire near where my heart is. As I entered a meditative state, I was able to locate the fire.
I was shocked, It was a huge, titanic in size roaring fire but what shocked me was not the fire nor its size but instead the huge Chinese dragon circling underneath it.
Upon closer inspection I realized that although it had all the characteristics of Chinese dragons like the long serpentine body, whiskers, fin-like ears, wild looking eyes, canine snout, and the position and proportions of the horns. However, it had large bat like wings just like European dragons.
The dragon’s wild eyes were blood red and his body that was covered in scales was pitch black. The whiskers were grey in color. And holy shit its teeth; those jagged instruments of death could bite a building in half like a hot knife through butter.
Once the dragon noticed me it stopped circling the fire and flew towards me. Although it was almost as large a skyscraper it was nothing compared to the fire and I looked like a piss ant in front of the dragon . When he stopped in front of me , he opened his mouth and roared “Welcome my partner. What is your name?”
“I’m Zuko and you are….?”[Zuko]
“My name is Maheshvra.”[Maheshvra]
I could barely stop my knees from shaking when I asked the next question.
“What might be your business here?”[Zuko]
”I am to be your partner and we can communicate like this once a year, however you are far too weak to find my real body right now.”[Maheshvra]
“What should I do to discover your body?”[Zuko]
“To discover my true body you must: first travel to Roku’s Island at the age of thirteen, deep down below Roku’s Island my real body slumbers. You can travel down there through the passages inside the volcano.”[Maheshvra]
“Very well than I shall see you in 13 years.” [Zuko]
As soon as I said that Maheshvra disappeared. When he left I finally remembered what I originally came here to do. The way to awaken your fire bending is to merge with the fire inside you.
The fire was still roaring so I entered it with my tiny body. Once I was inside it the fired was sucked inside me like a vacuum was inside my body. Soon the entire fire was gone and I was in the real world and outside the spirit realm.
I imagined a fire as small as a bottle cap on my hand and it grew to life and that is how I took the first step to my Journey in becoming a fire bender.
