Plot 
Edit
The Journey of Tala takes place during the time of the Avatar succeeding Korra, an earthbender named Tala. She has been discovered in Omashu, where King Urri has used this to make his city strong politically and keeping her training enclosed in the city.
Peace is widespread, but it is an illusion. Republic City has taken actions that threaten and insult the sovereignty of the Fire Nation. Fear has spread around the world that war will break out again. Tala is nineteen years old when the story begins. Choices must be made, as an individual called the Black Dragon orchestrates a world war, Tala must find a way to end it.
But in a world of power and greed, nothing is as it seems. Even Tala will be rocked by her choices, and the past shall decide the future. Can Tala fulfill her destiny? What will her journey bring?
The story is divided into three books, each containing a different phase of the conflict.

Organizations, Ranks and Warriors Edit
In Avatar Tala's quest to become the Avatar, she comes across several organization that are either for, against her, or no inclination. They work on many levels and affect the conflict that is raging on the Coastlands and Southlands.
The Order of the White Lotus: The multi-national organization touts benders of every nation and members from across the world.

The Fifth Nation War: The war that has broken out in the Journey of Tala. The Fire Nation and the Earth Kingdom are allied against the United Republic of Nations and its allies the Water Tribes, the Order of the White Lotus as well as the cities of Omashu and the Northern Fortress.

Added by CrimsonShogun The Next Journey Edit
As the first part of the Storms of the Future, The Journey of Tala will be followed in telling the story of the Avatars. Fates and Vows will be a short story that covers events of characters surrounding Tala at the same time as Journey of Tala. This saga will then be followed by the Rise of Lirin, a new saga about the Fire Nation Avatar after Tala.
Trivia Edit
- A large emphasis of the story is choices and its effects on legacy. We see the effects of the Hundred Year War centuries later as opposed to the decades when Korra came. We also see the effect of Republic City to the world at large.
- A lot of the naming has been inspired by Azerbaijani words, even mistakenly.
- Several Events that happened in the ancient past can have little to huge impacts. These include the Unification of the Earth Kingdom.
- Some things that may become clear to the reader early on may not be explored until much later in the story. And still some is left to interpretation.
- The later half of the story will have more focus on Rishu than it had before. Even a chapter of Rishu recalling the memories of when he was child during Sozin's Comet. Chapter 9: The Black Dragon will come from his point of view. This chapter is also the author's favorite chapter.
- The Journey of Tala will be followed by two more Avatar sagas; The Rise of Lirin & The Reclamation of Arein; these three will encompass the Storms of the Future Cycle.
- Fates and Vows will cover events before, during, and after the Journey of Tala.
- The author is currently listening to Mibuwolf's advice and spell checking the chapters before release.
- Some items from all the Storms fanons will appear in Dreams of Melasa, a fanon that occurs millennia before Journey of Tala does.
