Darn commercial. It had to air right before this show began, so I get to see Aang one last time, looking ever so awesomely twelve and cute, as he saves the entire world again before he vanishes to the vacuum of time that waits for us all. Bye, Aang. You are a statue now. Sniffle. See you in the toons they show on the opposite side, little buddy.

But enough of the mourning. Tenzen has important things to say.

World! (Smash! Boom! Crash!)

Fire! (Whoosh! Sizzle! SSSSSSINGE!)

Atmosphere! (Hey, it truly is Aang! He is immortal and part of the opening credits now!)

Water (Hi, Korra! Splash! Welcome to the world!)

When Tenzen was a boy, his father, the Avatar Aang, told him about how he ended the Hundred Year War with the help of the neurotic, destitute waterbender, a blind earthbender, a really ethically confused firebender, plus a remarkably normal man who could not do such a thing but crack jokes and battle like a total tiger. Next war was eventually over, Avatar Aang and Fire Lord Zuko - oh, it feels good to say that about Zuko! - worked together to create The United Republic of Nations. The idea was that benders and non-benders would come together in peace. I betcha Sokka helped write that charter. It is a shame the fantasy started to tarnish if the originators died. Aang and Zuko named their capitol Republic City, and gave it a slogan: "Can perhaps not we all just get on?" Then Aang expired, and he turned into a statue within the harbor. Unfortunately, this had to occur, or we couldn't meet [[http://pokemonvolcano.com/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=242135|Legend of Korra]]. It's such as the Immortals: there may be only 1.

Needless to say, the story begins in a blizzard. Legend of Korra Book 2 is really a waterbender; consequently, she's got to live in a barren frozen wasteland. I wonder, if we go through enough Avatars, will we ever meet one that grew up in a secure city eating bon bons? A distinguished Inuit gentleman greets an envoy of the White Lotus. There is a kid in his house they've just gotta see.

As the envoys of the White Lotus enter the nicest igloo I've ever seen, a woman greets them nervously. Apparently, the White Lotus have now been sent on some wild goose chases and usually do not want to get misled again. Nevertheless these two parents understand their little girl is the Avatar. She's got no specific ability to start glowing when mad, but... she will make quite a violent entrance. Boom! Just formed a brand new hole in the wall for ya, Mom! I ain't your nanny's avatar! Deal with it, or I am going to set you on fire with these pointless little torches I keep lighting everywhere just to frighten everybody. She wouldn't be accepted at a day care center near you. on

The years pass in a instant, and unexpectedly, we see a teenaged girl fighting in a few type of competition, where she's battling several firebenders at the same time and sending them sizzling onto the rooftops, still oddly alive. There are several members of the White Lotus viewing this gravely, alongside a wizened old woman who seems somehow beloved and familiar. The wise old woman gently says, "She is strong" but the White Lotus guru says, "She lacks restraint." Which may be accurate, White Lotus man, but she is still the Avatar and you also may not fire her from that place. Anyway, she actually is sixteen. Who has restraint at the period of sixteen? After enough pyrotechnics to engulf a major city in flames, Korra succeeds in making her last unlucky competitor pass out, and she celebrates with a war whoop. Korra is feeling rather cocky, because she's mastered three of the four elements: fire, earth, and water. But, the stern-looking gurus usually are not so sure about Korra. She's got the physical side down, but she hasn't got a clue in regards to the spiritual side of being the Avatar. Korra agrees with this, but thinks that learning Atmosphere Bending under Tenzen will solve the religious issue [[http://haleava.net/user/unpaddyplub/|Click This Link]].
