It's a hexagon.
It doesn't seem like normal rock.
It's not made of earth.
This is so strange.
I wish I had some help right now.
I wish I had Roku.
I do have Roku!
[inhales]
[exhales]
You're right, Aang,
all the past Avatars,
all their experience and wisdom is available to you
if you look deep inside yourself.
So where am I, Roku?
What is this place?
I don't know, Aang,
but I see that you are lost in more ways than one right now.
I am.
I need to figure out what to do once I face the Fire Lord.
Everyone expects me to take the Fire Lord's life,
but I just don't know if I can do that.
In my life,
I tried to be disciplined and show restraint,
but it backfired when Fire Lord Sozin
took advantage of my restraint and mercy.
If I had been more decisive and acted sooner,
I could have stopped Sozin
and stopped the war before it started.
I offer you this wisdom, Aang:
You must be decisive.
Avatar Kyoshi, I need your wisdom.
In my day, Chin the Conqueror threatened
to throw the world out of balance.
I stopped him and the world entered a great era of peace.
You didn't really kill Chin.
Technically, he fell to his own doom
because he was too stubborn to get out of the way.
Personally, I don't really see the difference,
but I assure you, I would have done
whatever it took to stop Chin.
I offer you this wisdom, Aang:
Only justice will bring peace.
I knew I shouldn't have asked Kyoshi.
I need to look deep inside myself.
I am Avatar Kuruk.
When I was young,
I was always a go-with-the-flow kind of Avatar.
People seemed to work out their own problems,
and there was peace and good times in the world.
But then I lost the woman I loved
to Koh, the Face Stealer.
It was my fault.
If I had been more attentive and more active,
I could have saved her.
Aang,
you must actively shape your own destiny
and the destiny of the world.
All these past Avatars,
they keep telling me I'm going to have to do it.
They don't get it.
You're right, maybe an Air Nomad Avatar
will understand where I'm coming from
I know you can't really talk.
Pretending you can just helps me think.
[Momo vocalizes]
I'm going to pretend I didn't pretend to hear that.
I am Avatar Yangchen, young airbender.
Avatar Yangchen,
the monks always taught me that all life is sacred,
even the life of the tiniest spider fly
caught in its own web.
Yes, all life is sacred.
I know, I'm even a vegetarian!
I've always tried to solve my problems
by being quick or clever,
and I've only had to use violence for necessary defense,
and I've certainly never used it to take a life.
Avatar Aang, I know that you're a gentle spirit
and the monks have taught you well,
but this isn't about you.
This is about the world.
But the monks taught me that I had to detach myself
from the world so my spirit could be free.
Many great and wise Air Nomads have detached themselves
and achieved spiritual enlightenment,
but the Avatar can never do it
because your sole duty is to the world.
Here is my wisdom for you:
Selfless duty calls you to sacrifice
your own spiritual needs
and do whatever it takes to protect the world.
I guess I don't have a choice, Momo.
I have to kill the Fire Lord.
