Dedication and Thanks

Long ago, the four nations were engaged in war. But everything changed when the Fire Nation splits in half. With Fire Lord Ozai slain, Prince Zuko now takes the throne as Princess Azula regroups in Ba Sing Sae with Ozai loyalists to conquer and attempt to take the Fire Nation throne back. The hunt for the Avatar's friends begin again. This time in a quest for allyship to liberate the Earth Kingdom from Azula's tyrannical pull. But allyship is never easy and the quest for peace has never been harder to achieve.
