    Summary

    The Fire Nation didn’t kill all the Air Nomads. They tried. They very nearly succeeded. But the Air Nomads have always been a mobile and scattered people. The temples may have been destroyed, but the Air Nomads lived on, hidden wherever they could find shelter. It wasn’t easy. There was many things they had to sacrifice in the name of staying hidden.

    But other things they were able to keep safe. Despite the Fire Nations best efforts, they were not destroyed. Now after 100 years, the War is over, and the Avatar sets out to find the last of his people.

    Summary

    [ Nothing is like the wind-smoothed walls he trailed his hands along, the open arches and doorways off the third floor. He clings to the paintings that used to curl around the stone, clings to the prayers he chanted, clings to the games only he remembers even existed. Now, the halls are blackened with scorch marks, the courtyards crumbling and cracked.

    Aang has never held a whole culture in his cupped hands before. He’s afraid he’ll drop it. ]

    or

    Aang is a century out of time and a day out of war. It's not as easy as straightening his shoulders and shaking it off.

    Summary

    Aang relished in the faint ache that echoed throughout his hands from gripping onto rough bark. For even a second, it brought him closer to a moment a hundred years past. If he closed his eyes, Aang could almost convince himself he was both a hundred years from home and in the home he knew, comparing splinters and blisters with Kuzon as they argued over who reached the top first.

    Summary

    Vāyu loved watching her people.

    Every few generations, a person would come who would steal her breath away. They would lean into her touch a little more; would devote themselves to her even more completely than the others. They would reach up high to touch the sky, stretching their fingers in an attempt to finally, finally, finally make contact with the one they loved who loved them back.

    And a new one came along, and Vāyu quickly learned that letting this one go would surely prove to be the hardest thing she’d ever done.

    ---

    The spirit of air and her relationship with Aang.

    (I don't know, okay?)
