The Avatar's Apprentice: Book I

Disclaimer: I do not own Avatar the Last Airbender and probably never will.

Prologue

Long before this story starts, a bridge was formed between the physical and spiritual worlds. This person, that the four elemental spirits had created, would become known as the Avatar. His or Her duty would be to keep balance in the physical world and protect the spirits that lived there. To help him or her, the Avatar was granted with the ability to bend all four elements and contact the spiritual world for advice. He or She would be reincarnated in each of the four nations following the order of air, water, earth, fire then back to air. This cycle became known as the Avatar cycle. The spirits, which helped create this being, were pleased at first with their work at first. In the very beginning, the Avatar helped promote peace and balance in a very turbulent world.

But after several cycles, the spirits noticed a flaw in their creation. By having the Avatar travel around the world to train and understand the customs and different forms of bendings in the world, he was often isolated and vulnerable. The Avatar was susceptible to attacks by up setters of the peace or made rash decisions. Because of this, in the early days the Avatar often failed as a promoter of peace. To solve problem, the spirits created another being called the Avatar's Apprentice. This being would be able to bend two elements, the one he or she was born into and the one element previous in the cycle, in which the current Avatar was born into. They would be reincarnated in the same cycle of the Avatar only one ahead. This being would train alongside the Avatar. When the Avatar became fully realized, the Avatar's Apprentice would travel with the Avatar during its duties. This being would act as companion, advisor, and protector throughout the Avatar's life. If for some reason the current Avatar's Apprentice was to die while the current Avatar was still alive, another Apprentice would be born in the same nation.

When the spirits' idea took form, it worked brilliantly. The Avatar and his or her apprentice proved to be an amazing force in protecting the balance of the world. But the spirits wondered if it would be enough when the Fire Nation declared war on the rest of the world.
