"Water... Earth... Fire... Air..." Katara voices over as the benders demonstrate as she talks. "My grandmother used to tell me stories about the old days, a time of peace when the Avatar kept the balance between the Water Tribes, Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation, and Air Nomads. But that all changed when the Fire Nation attacked." It journeys into the map showing the world and closes in on a bender displaying all the elements. "Only the Avatar mastered all four elements. Only he could stop the ruthless Firebenders. But when the world needed him most, he vanished." He disappears from sight. "A hundred years have passed and the Fire Nation is nearing victory in the war. Two years ago, my father and the men of my tribe journeyed to the Earth Kingdom to help fight against the Fire Nation, leaving me and my brother to look after our tribe." It shows the Water Tribe men on their boats and Katara hugging her older brother Sokka holding up a lantern. "Some people believe that the Avatar was never reborn into the Air Nomads and that the cycle is broken, but I haven't lost hope. I still believe that somehow the Avatar will return to save the world."

Us Apart

Three ships, lying side by side, as the centre vessel launches, it emerges from the inlet and out onto the great lake. On one of the ship's deck, Iroh looks out at the water. "Who would have thought, after all these years, I'd return to the scene of my greatest military... as a tourist." Iroh muses solemnly as he says the last bit, he turns to Zuko and Rin, putting on a flowered straw hat and a wide grin.

"Look around, we're not tourists, we're refugees." Rin retorts and Zuko sips from a wooden bowl.

"Ugh!" Zuko groans in disgust spitting over the railing

"Ugh!" Zuko groans in disgust spitting over the railing. "I'm sick of eating rotten food, sleeping in the dirt... I'm tired of living like this." He leans on the railing sadly, Rin joins him.

"Aren't we all?" Jet asks with his usual stalk of prairie grass, leading to the silhouette of Jet's face as he adopts a sly grin. "My name's Jet and these are my freedom fighters, Smellerbee, and Longshot." Jet introduces himself and friends, he steps out toward the rail, his companions behind him.

"Hey." Smellerbee greets and Longshot nods in greeting.

"Hello." Zuko greets looking out over the lake.
