Read Chapter 1 HERE
The world had been forced to advance faster when shapeshifters
had begun their attacks. While monsters could be dealt with through simpler
means, defeating Shapeshifters had required more advanced technologies… and
despite said advanced technologies had been developed for the purpose of
defeating the beasts, soon certain people had started to create technologies
for the sake of making their lives easier too.The Fire Nation was the technological pioneer, but
their advancements had been spread throughout the world – save for the Poles,
lands that had been fully claimed by shapeshifters, hence, they weren’t part of
any world-wide alliances. So even in the Earth Kingdom, chariots led by ostrich
horses would glide through stone roads, and lampposts lit with fire lined the
main streets. Plumbing was a reality only for those who could afford it, yet
the plans were to spread said technologies through the world as soon as
possible.Houses in the Earth Kingdom were no longer wooden and
traditional, at least, not on the most part. Despite retaining the greens and
yellows that stood in the Earth Kingdom’s banners, the structures of the houses
now were more similar to the modern buildings in the Fire Nation. It no longer
surprised Azula to see that the Earth Kingdom had adapted so many of the Fire
Nation’s ways. She had spent a month in cities and towns of the Earth Kingdom
before heading to the small village where she had meant to capture a werewolf.
She was well accustomed to the ways of the world: to the stores, to the
restaurants, to the inns…Yet the werewolf she had caught wasn’t used to it at
all. And as they arrived to the city of Gaoling he could only gape in disbelief
at the wonders around him.
