The Messenger of Fell Winds

While being beaten against a wall at the Northern Air Temple by Zaheer, Ming Hua, and Ghazan, Tenzin blacks out. When he wakes up, he is surrounded by a community of curious monks with arrow tattoos. Somehow, Tenzin has traveled back in time just before the Hundred Years’ War! Although he thrills at the chance to experience the Air Nomad culture he’s always longed for, Tenzin struggles with the knowledge that everything and everyone around him is about to be exterminated by the Fire Lord Sozin’s army. Can he save his people from their horrific fate without erasing his own existence? More importantly, will Tenzin ever be able to return to his own time where his family, Korra, and the new Air Nation desperately need him?This time-travel fic is largely canon compliant. Rating may increase later due to wartime violence, but no romantic or sexual content. The plot of this fic is driven by Tenzin's character development, the political circumstances surrounding the approaching Air Nomad Genocide, and the ethical considerations involved in time travel. Questions, comments, and critiques always appreciated.
