After that beautiful and exciting finale for the Legend of Korra: Book Four, there was a part of me that was left still wanting more. I have hopes that in the future Mike and Brian might someday come back to make an animated movie for the Legend of Korra or maybe even a Book Five to continue the story, but that seems very unlikely now since they already moved on to doing other things and working on their next big project.

After thinking about it so much, it actually caused me to have a dream about what a sequel to the Legend of Korra might be like. It was a really interesting dream, and would probably make for a good plot to a movie or even a Book Five. This dream has inspired me to create a fan fiction story detailing the events of Team Avatar's next great adventure, based on some of the events that occurred in the dream. Many people, myself included, wish that there was more Legend of Korra, so I am making this story mostly out of a desire for more Legend of Korra content, and you could consider it to be an unofficial Book Five. In this fan fiction, I will attempt to fill in some of the gaps within the lore and answer many of the unanswered questions we were left with at the end of the show, as well as reveal the fates of certain characters whose fates still remained a mystery during the Legend of Korra. I will also expand upon the backstories of certain characters from the Legend of Korra whose pasts we only got small glimpses of.

I will try to make this story fit within the canon as much as possible and make it follow the same spirit as the show. For this story I will make use of source material from many different parts of the Avatar universe such as Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Legend of Korra, the comics for The Last Airbender, and even some of the video games. Some of the references I make might be so small and obscure that only a handful of hardcore fans will notice them, but you will find them quite interesting if you manage to catch them.

I have decided to name this story Book Five: Rebirth, mostly because it sounds very much like something Mike and Brian would call it, and because it involves the rebirth, return, renewal, change, and transformation of a lot of things in the Avatar world. For example, an old enemy thought to be defeated has now returned with greater strength, and certain characters begin to undergo a rebirth of sorts, all as the world begins to head into a new age as the old one dies. In this story, Korra and Team Avatar end up going to the Fire Nation, and the plot picks up about a year and a half after the events of the finale seen in Book Four.

This is meant to be more of a serious plot-driven story, so it might not have as much romance in it as some would like, but there is still some pairing fluff in it for those of you who are into that sort of thing. The romantic elements are very subtle though and will not take up much of the focus in the story, which was a huge complaint I often heard about the show, particularly in regards to Book Two, so it is a problem that I want to avoid with this story. Before you begin, keep in mind that this story is a work in progress and it is constantly changing and evolving along with my writing style, so I may end up going back to some of the earlier chapters in the story to edit and revise them in order to improve their quality. Once I finally finish this story and release the final chapter, I am thinking of maybe posting an Author's Notes section at the very end that will extensively discuss some of my behind the scenes thoughts and inspirations for the creation this story and its characters. Without further ado, enjoy the read.
