  Summary

  Zuko has been burned and banished, and must not return to the Fire Nation without the Avatar. However, the spirits of Fire Lord Sozin and Avatar Roku have a very different mission for him: put the trapped spirits of the Air Nomads to rest, and join the Avatar in bringing balance to the world. Is this truly his destiny, or merely a nightmare brought on by fever and infection? And if it's real, how can one teenage boy possibly succeed in such a daunting task?
