i don’t have sob stories like all of you. i could sit here and complain how our mom liked zuko more than me. but i don’t really care. my own mother…thought i was a monster…she was right of course, but it still hurt.

Two lovers, forbidden from one another. A war divides their people. And a mountain divides them apart. Built a path to be together…Yeah, and I forget the next couple of lines, but then it goes…Secret tunnel! Secret tunnel! Through the mountain! Secret, secret, secret, secret tunnel!“

To the edge of the universe and back. Endure and survive.

Zuko, my fire went out. What do you want me to do? Give me some of yours. No, just make your own. I can’t. Get some from some of those warriors. Hurry! Stop cheating off me. Quit being stingy!

CATRA: I’m going to be better. I’ve hurt you a lot. I’m sorry. I’m not going to do it again. But I know sorry doesn’t fix everything. And if you ever want me to go, I’ll go.

ADORA: I don’t want you to go. I want you here. With me.

They met on top the mountain that divided their two villages. The villages were enemies, so they could not be together. But their love was strong, and they found a way. The two lovers leaned earthbending from the badgermoles; they became the first earthbenders. They built elaborate tunnels so that they could meet secretly. Anyone that tried to follow them would be lost forever in the labyrinth. But one day, the man didn’t come. He died in the war between their two villages. Devastated, the woman unleashed a terrible display of her earthbending power, she could’ve destroyed them all. But, instead, she declared the war over. Both villages helped her build the new city where they would live together in piece. The woman’s name was Oma and the man’s name was Shu. The great city was named Omashu as a monument to their love.

Well, I’m impressed. You are an excellent water-bender. But you still won’t teach me, will you?

To bend another’s energy, your own spirit must be unbendable or you will be corrupted and destroyed.

But I believe Aang can save the world.
