A new war...
...is among us.
200 years into the future, free of Fire Nation war, the world is a much different place. Rebuilding upon many cities has been completed, trading between the nations is more bustling than ever, and peace has spread throughout the world. A much better life was created for everyone by Avatar Aang and his friend’s deeds; they put the world back in motion.
Since then, the descendants of Airbenders have grown to an even sized nation once again, as well as the other bending nations where many were killed or enslaved during the war. It seemed that the harmony had finally returned.
But of course, how long could something so perfect stay?
Not many, but enough, have noticed the unsettling feel in the air. Something was not quite right when they heard the news of the long Earth Kingdom leader’s ‘death’, or the fire at the Southern Air Temple. Many strange happenings such as these have been happening for years, but many chose not to notice. Peace was much too common and anything that may have sparked a bad thought was ignored. But as time went on…it couldn’t go unnoticed. Something was definitely wrong.
A group by the name of the Poison Rose has taken name to the people. By word of mouth, their actions have spread from nation to nation, provoking fear in the citizens. Although they were simply rumors to them, they did have some truth. The Poison Rose was responsible for many deaths and destructions in the past year, all of them mysteries in which officials couldn’t find the culprits. But the most terrifying thing about the order was the fact that no one knew who they were. There could be thousands or just a few, they could be terrible criminals or just ordinary people, they could be benders or non-benders, they could be in hiding or they could be living among them. This very thought horrified citizens of every nation. No one knew what they wanted or what they were after, but they knew they were dangerous.
The order, in truth, is started by a single person. A single person who believed the war 200 years ago was unjust. The Firelord was a strong, intelligent man who had the world at his feet, only to be taken down by a greedy Avatar who couldn’t stand the share of his power. His death was unjust, but it would not go unforgotten. The Poison Rose was created to avenge and recreate the power that Firelord Ozai once held; and they would stop at no cost to restore it.
Allowing only the strongest members (benders or not) of every nation to join them, the Poison Rose meets in a secret location every few months. The leader is unknown to anyone in the order, but he is sure to attend the meetings in a dark cloak that covers his face. His power is unimaginable; with hundreds of strong followers and growing, he has more power that the Nation’s leaders combined. As far as anyone knows, he is unstoppable.
With an unknown leader and unknown members, the Poison Rose is the strongest force and ready to take hold of the world’s power.
The only ones prepared to fight are those hopeful enough to even try. While regular citizen do what they must to get by and ignore this threat, those few push on to learn what they can about this order and take it down.
But now, at the verge of a second war even worse than the first, what can be done? Leaders have patrols out to kill any Poison Rose members they see and guards are on high alert. But is this enough?Warfare is just around the corner.
