00:16When I was younger, my mother would tell me stories of how the four nations were kept in balance by the Avatar.
00:23The Avatar was not just seen as a master of all four elements, but also stood as a symbol of balance between the four nations and the spirit world.
00:34During the latest Avatar's time, the world of spirits grew restless and began to ravage the physical world, but was saved thanks to Avatar Kurok.
00:45And now, as the sun rises and sets on ages past, the sun now rises on a new age and a new Avatar.
01:15I had no idea there were so many toys. There must be hundreds here.
01:36Thousands. I'd ask you to help, but you wouldn't do it right.
01:41Hmph. So, how did you manage to change Abbot Dorje's mind about giving you the relics?
01:48The same way you convinced Lu Bei Fong to let us administer the Air Nomad test in the Earth Cycle.
01:55I didn't.
01:57Kelsang.
02:00It's like Kurok used to say, better to ask forgiveness than wait for permission.
02:05Yes, we needed to try something different. The Earth Kingdom's method wasn't working. I still can't believe it's been seven years since we lost him.
02:16And at such a young age. Thirty-three? Most Avatars live twice as long at a minimum.
02:24A child could have met Avatar Yang Chen then, as an adult, meet Kurok. And now, this new Avatar as an elder.
02:32It's the first and last time Kurok's ever been early for something in his life.
02:36That sounds like something Hairon would say.
02:42The sun's coming up. We couldn't do it the Earthbender's way. So let's find the Avatar the Airbender way. How hard could it be?
02:54Sigh.
02:57I'm telling you, my little Aoma has got to be the next Avatar. I saw her Earthbending and Airbending at the same time.
03:06She already failed the test.
03:09Are you sure she wasn't just Earthbending during a windy day?
03:12This is outrageous! I demand to see a higher ranking master!
03:17We're the only ones here.
03:19I don't believe this! Come along, Aoma! We're leaving!
03:24But, Mommy!
03:28Well, at least they're being reasonable so far.
03:36For the last time, I am NOT negotiating a salary! The Avatar is not a paying job!
03:43Sounds like a waste of time to me then. I'll just take my daughter and go.
03:46Wait!
03:52This will have to come out of my own pocket.
03:55Okay. I'll give you 50 silvers a year if she turns out to be the Avatar.
04:0165 silvers a year if she is the Avatar and 10 if she's not.
04:05Why would I pay you if she's not the Avatar?!
04:07She's not the Avatar!
04:13Oh, so close.
04:16Ten silvers.
04:18Get out of here!
04:20Come on, Suzu. Let's get.
04:23Hey! You forgot your other daughter.
04:26Hm? That one ain't mine.
04:29That one ain't anyone's.
04:31Hm.
04:33Why, hello there, little one. What's your name?
04:37Kyyoshi.
04:39Well, Kyyoshi, would you like a toy?
04:42Kyyoshi.
04:44Well, Kyyoshi. Would you like a toy?
04:50Kelsong, are you sure she isn't too old? She's bigger than some of the teenagers.
04:54Ah, Suzu.
04:56Come on now, don't be shy. How old are you, Kyyoshi?
05:00I'm...
05:02Seven...
05:04Hmm, you don't say.
05:06Well, consider what you choose to be your gift.
05:10I must have missed her when she first came in.
05:13Most of the parents usually dress their kids up when they hear their child could be the next Avatar.
05:17She must be an orphan.
05:19With the Daofei around here, I'm surprised there aren't more like her.
05:23But she looked so malnourished, even with the peasantry to compare.
05:27Um, is this one okay?
05:35Uh, yes. Good choice.
05:38But I've got a surprise for you.
05:40You can have three more.
05:42Four whole toys to yourself.
05:45Wouldn't you like that?
05:47Uh...
05:49It's alright. You don't have to put that down.
05:52That's the whole point. You can choose differently-
05:54Hey!
05:57Have a great day!
05:59Every film simply
06:11I love trial, run a little bit, get out of my life.
06:13It can be missed, remember?
06:14I can't breathe
06:15Have a great day.
06:16I've got a great day.
06:18The life's awful處.
06:19Trustab except not for the Ireland line,
06:21I'll tryATHERMO, are you back through New Zealand?
06:22Really?
06:23You lose Jennifer?
06:24Peace!
06:25Damn it! How did she get away?
06:32Easy, Janshu. With the way you look, people would think you just lost your nation's most important cultural artifact.
06:39This isn't the time, Kelsong! We need to go after her!
06:43We could, but I would feel bad to take the relic away from a child who has so little.
06:49She can hang on to it. I'll go back to the temple and face Dorje's wrath alone.
06:54There's no need to implicate yourself.
07:01You would really ruin the Air Nomad test just to make a child happy?
07:08It'll find its way back to where it belongs. I'm sure of it.
