Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Long ago, the four nations lived in harmony and peace. Then, everything changes when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished. A thousand years have passed, and the disowned Prince Zuko of the Fire Nation, bitter at his banishment, seeks to overthrow his father, the Fire Lord. Together with his uncle, the former General Iroh, and an unlikely ally, Katara the last Southern Waterbender, Zuko is amassing an army to challenge the supremacy of the Fire Nation. However, this is not their story…

"Louise, its your turn."

Why is this happening? Louise cringed, regretting her bold statements the previous day: I have utter confidence in my Summon Familiar Spell!

As if Louise had ever successfully cast a spell! Her zero success rate had earned her the title of Zero Louise from her classmates at the Tristain Academy of Magic. Naturally, this didn't do much to help her confidence.

Professor Colbert was still patiently waiting for her to step forward, but her classmates were beginning to whisper to each other. The whispers made Louise want to fade away even more. However, there was no helping it. Mustering the last of her courage, Louise stepped forward and waved her wand in the air.

"My Familiar who exists somewhere in this universe… please come!"

"That's a unique spell," someone muttered.

A moment later a sudden bang and a blast of smoke issued from Louise's wand, signature of another spell blowing up in her face.

"Well that's to be expected from Louise." A red haired girl peered into the smoke trying to spot her unfortunate classmate. "I feel kind of bad for… wait… what's that!?"

As the smoke clears, the class gasped in astonishment to see a massive animal passed out in front of them. It looked like a huge bison, only it had six legs, a thick tail, and a large arrow shaped spot on its head.

"I'm astonished." A boy holding a rose studied the massive beast. "It seems Louise actually summoned something impressive. However, its not nearly as beautiful as my Verdande!" He glanced lovingly over at a massive mole, which regarded him with adoring eyes.

"You see! I told you I could do it!" Louise bounced happily over to the massive beast. Sure it wasn't a dragon, but it was big and impressive. Her unexpected success made her heart feel light. Surely things were finally looking up for her?

Professor Colbert motioned towards her. "Good, now complete the contract."

Louise kissed the furry beast on the forehead, then stood back, waiting for the familiar rune to appear. And waited. And waited.

"Di-i-id I do something wrong? Louise was panicking now. For all the other familiars summoned, the mark appeared instantly. Why wasn't it appearing for her?

"Curious…" Professor Colbert stepped up to Louise, who was holding back tears. "I see no reason why the contract would not be fulfilled. Unless…"

"Look up there!" The red haired girl pointed at something on the creature's back.

Louise looked up, noticing for the first time that the creature was wearing a saddle. And was there something stirring on that saddle?

ACHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

A human shaped object was suddenly launched skyward off the creature's back. The class stared, mouths agape as it slowly floated down to the ground in front of Louise. It was a boy, with odd clothing and a shaved head with a tattoo of a blue arrow.

"Hi! I'm Aang!"
