Discovering 'The Last Airbender

---

THE LAST AIRBENDER.

Safes.

Safes.

A hundred years ago all

was right with our world.

Prosperity and peace filled our days.

The Four Nations: Water, Earth, Fire and Air

Nomads lived amongst each other in harmony.

Great respect was afforded to all those

who could bend their natural element.

The Avatar was the only person

born amongst all the nations

who could master all four elements.

He was the only one who could

communicate with the Spirit World.

With the Spirits' guidance the

Avatar kept balance in the world.

And then a hundred years

ago, he just disappeared...

BOOK ONE:
WATER

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. Sorry! Sorry!

It would better with time

I thought about mum. Isn't it strange?

Yeah. I guess so.

Stop doing that stuff

around me. I always get wet.

My brother and I live

in the southern water tribe.

Which was once a big city.

Our father was fighting in a war.

My mother was taken prisoner

and killed when I was young.

In this time of the war food is scarce.

My brother and I often go

hunting for food, but...

unfortunately my brother isn't

the best hunter in the world.

- Tiger seal.

- Are you sure?

I did everything dad said to do.

I watch beside the finger tracks, and

that shows in what direction you'd going.

I saw how long the tracks skid,

which shows how fast they are going.

Something's under there.

It's caving! Come back our tracks!

Katara, don't go in there. It's

probably some Fire Nation's trick.

Just back away. Very slow.

Katara, do not hit that sphere!

Uncle, look!

Is he breathing?

Did you see the light

shot through the sky?

What's your name? And

how did you get here?

How did you get in the ice?

He's exhausted.

We need to get him back to the village.

What is this thing?

It tries to eat me!

- How did you get all the way out here?

- I ran away from home.

We're caught in the storm. We are forced

to go under the water in the ocean.

- Oh, I see.

- It wasn't very smart.

I was just upset.

Thanks for saving me.

- Lucky.

- I probably should get home.

- You're not so upset?

- Not as much as I was.

- Fire nation's here.

- What?

And they brought their machines.

Don't come out till

I'll tell you it's safe.

- Something is wrong?

- No, please wait here.

What a coincidence, we

break him out of the ice,

light fly into the sky, and the

fire nation shows with the machines.

Sokka, don't.

I'm Prince Zuko.

Son of fire lord Ozai

and heir to the throne.

Bring me all your elderly!

Grandma.

Come on!

Katara, don't.

You're scaring these people.

Who are you? What's your name?!

- I don't need to tell you anything.

- Firebenders!

I'm taking you into my ship.

If you don't come, I'll

burn down this village.

I'll go with you. Don't hurt anyone.

They are looking for someone older, and

with the same marks as the boy had.

They dragged Mom away, in the

same way when we were babies.

Should we just stood and watch him

taken away, we should have fought!

We found that boy. He's our

responsibility. We should fight.

What would you do if

they tried take me away?

- I'll kill them all.

- Why?

Because you're my sister.

Because dad told me to

protect you with my life.

Because I'm your responsibility,

and this boy is our responsibility.

What you want us to do, Katara?

How are we supposed to save him?

They're on their ship, we

need miracle to catch them.

I know you think everything's

going to work out. But I don't.

The ice creatures didn't float.

What do you want with me?

My nephew wants me to

perform a little test on you.

- What kind of test?

- I assure you it will not hurt.

I have performed it

hundreds of times, and...

it only takes a few moments

and then you're free to go.

Would you mind if I'll put a few

things in front of you at the table?

It will only take a moment.

- It's all you want?

- My name is Iroh and you have my word.

Grandma, I know you'll try to stop us,

- but this is something that I need...

- Sit down.

I knew from the first we

discovered you were a bender

that one day I would

realize your destiny.

There hasn't been no water bender

in the Southern Water tribe,

since my friend Hama was taken away

Today, I found out that destiny.

Did you see that boy's tattoos?

Tattoos like that haven't

been seen an over a century.

I believe they are airbending tattoos.

How can that be?

I believe that little

boy might be the Avatar.

Once, a long time ago, the

spirit world kept balance over us.

What is the spirit world grandma?

Oh, that's not a place made

out of things you can touch.

But it exists nonetheless.

Just filled with the most amazing forms,

dazzling creatures, that exists

the most exotic valleys,

mountains, forests.

Each of this creatures is a spirit.

They have watched over us since

the beginning. They have guided us.

And only the Avatar

can go speak to them.

Are there spirits here?

Yes, there are some spirits

that live hidden among us.

Sure, they're watching

us with great sadness.

The fire nation doesn't

wish to live by the spirits.

That's why they're so frightened

by the existence of the Avatar.

- What can he do?

- With his mastery of the four elements

he will begin to change hearts.

And it is in heart

that all wars are won.

Now, go help this boy.

He will need you two.

And we all need him.

You... are my prisoner.

Airbender.
