The story follows the adventures of a boy named Aang, and twelve
year old happy-go-lucky kid who discovers that he is the

from his home with his flying bison Appa and soon finds himself in
a storm out at sea. Before him and his friend drown his Avatar
Spirit comes forth and freezes him in order to stay alive...
One Hundred years went by and Aang was found by two members of the
Southern Water Tribe, Katara and Sokka. They then learned of Aang's
past life while Aang learned that a war had started right after he
had left and now the Fire Nation was closing in on the last of
remaining Nations. Since Aang and Katara were both in need of a
waterbending master they decided to journey to the North Pole to
contact with their sister tribe. Ongroup2 their way they met many
old friends of Aang but they also met an enemy, Prince Zuko of the
Fire Nation. In order to be loved by his father, the Prince and his
Uncle Iroh continued to chase the Avatar and ran into his fair
share of trouble too. Zhao, another strong Firebender was also
searching for Aang to get the glory it would bring him.
Aang, Katara, Sokka, Appa, and Momo eventually came to the fire
temple were Aang learned that his mastering of the Elements could
not be taken as lightly as he thought, for at the end of the summer
a comet come back across the planet. This was the same comet that
started the war many years ago and it would surly bring Fire King
Ozai victory in the war.
Finally the friends came to the North Pole just as it went under
siege by Zhao and his navy. In the end Aang's Avatar spirit
destroyed the ships and Zhao, saving the North Pole. Katara and
Aang continued to train there for a short while until Katara could
be called a master. They then left in search of another master
except this time it was for the element Earth...

exiled while Zuko still clung to the hopes of capturing the Avatar.
The Avatar, however, was busy trying to find an earthbender and
sure enough he found one in the place he least expected it. His
earthbening teacher was a twelve year old blind girl named Toph who
was amazing at sensing the earths vibrations and using that to
fight. She joined her friends but that caused her rich father to
send to other strong earthbenders after the gang in order to steal
her back.
In the deserts of the Earth Kingdom the group found an ancient
library where they discovered the secret to stopping the Fire
Nation but sadly it was at the coast of losing Appa to group of
Sandbenders. The group then left for Ba Sing Se, the only strong
