This is it.
The end.

It is an open ending- Zhao's misadventures with spirits could continue, but I'll end it there. It's a good place to stop.

Thank you everyone, for reading this long, very long, too long exercise in storytelling (now if I can make as many pages for my personal projects...).


The Avatar universe belongs to Mike, Bryan, Nickelodeon-Viacom-MTV.
All the characters belong to them, but a few of the extras are my own creation.

Wow. Despite my... distaste for canon Zhao, this comic was really eye-opening. I might've even rooted for him a few times ;)

Engaging story, excellent art (to be expected!), amazing work.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Rufftoon have a Part 5 in her livejournal?

I read this all in one night; great story, interesting characters and awesome art. How to see more Zhao misadventures.

Open endings are the best kind of endings. Loved it!

Looks like I get to be the first comment of 2013 :w00t:

I can't believe I never read this before. I've been following :iconrufftoon: for a very long time (under my other da names, of course) and this story is so brilliant I don't think there are any words that would adequately convey how wonderfully perfect the storytelling is. Not only that, but the art... the ART!! Just like the show, breathtaking. :la:

I love where this was ended, but I'd also love to see more. Perhaps in the future a series of mini adventures may come to pass? I'd rather enjoy seeing Nauja's children returned home, Zhao finally finding a woman (preferrably not Nauja, however. I like the relationship she currently has with Zhao, but to pair them up as a couple would be greatly disappointing), Arluk's revenge, finding a new home for the Moon and Ocean spirits, or all the other little things that were touched upon but left unexplored :D

As I said, the achievement here is remarkable and I loved reading it—haven't read a doujin in a looong time, and this one was just stellar. Thanks for all the hard work that was put into this and for giving me another ATLA comic to read :happybounce:
