  Summary

  In which war is bloody, violent, and terrifying. Zuko is born the avatar due to unfortunate deaths, and such things as universal balance seem impossible when children are forced to fight in a war. To some Zuko may seem a poor choice for Avatar but with some help he may be able to save the world, or at least keep it from burning to the ground.

  ⚠️ This is a very dark and very bloody version of the ATLA we all love. Be warned there is some very heavy topics that are NOT gracefully discussed. Do not read if any of the tags bother you!! ⚠️
