The Avatar, the embodiment of peace and love in the world.
He or she is tasked with mastering all four elements
and keeping balance among the four nations of the world.
For thousands of years,
there have been countless reincarnations of the Avatar.
Here is a quick recap of Avatars throughout history.
It's Vatu, he's growing stronger,
using their anger to turn them to his side.
Wipe them out!
[music playing]
Stop! Freeze!
Raava, we need to combine our energies.
Maybe then we'll have enough power to stop this.
Enough!
You need to stop fighting now, before you destroy each other.
Stinky, what happened?
He's controlling all four elements.
Wan, I'll have to leave your body or I'll destroy you.
No! It's working.
If you leave, the fighting will start again.
Wan!
[screaming]
Different groups of people must learn to live together.
This is my mission.
To use Raava's light spirit to guide the world toward peace.
I'm sorry, Raava,
I've failed to bring peace.
Even with Vatu locked away,
darkness still surrounds humanity.
There wasn't enough time.
Don't worry.
We will be together for all of your lifetimes.
And we will never give up.

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 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.
On that day, we split from the mainland.

I created Kyoshi Island so my people could be safe from invaders.
Need a hand, old friend?
Sozin?
There's not a moment to waste.

Don't breathe the toxic gas.
[coughing]
It's too much...
Please.
Without you all my plans are suddenly possible.
I have a vision for the future, Roku.

Fire Lord Ozai,
you and your forefathers have devastated the balance of this world.
And now you shall pay the ultimate price.
