   Summary

   When the Avatar and his friends attempted to thwart the coup of the Dai Li, the Avatar falls in battle with Princess Azula. Aang had been unable to access his Avatar state before being brought down and now with the Avatar dead, a new one will take his place, reigning from one of the Water tribes.

   Katara, Sokka, Toph, and Iroh escape Ba Sing Se together and set out to join the white lotus and find any semblance of hope to continue forwards. Zuko, returns to the Fire Nation alongside his sister Azula, and resumes his place as crown prince. Will being reunited and accepted by his father be enough? Or will Zuko crave something more than his fathers love?
