[Korra notes his confident nod...seems just a little bit tired.]
Hmmm...maybe I've met the guy? I've met a couple of people that seem like your people already, though I didn't ask if they were healers. Let me know if any of those names ring a bell for you--Knock Out, Wing, Ratchet?
['I'm glad to hear your world does forgive'--Korra twitches at that. Her predecessor Avatar Aang was all about forgiveness and peace, he couldn't even kill the Fire Lord about to commit genocide. And she was about to kill Tarrlok without giving him any chance of surrender, and as far as she knew, he was not genocidal, as horrible as he was.]
[Her mood lightens when Drift mispronounces her predecessor's name. She laughs.]
Avatar Aang. Two words. A title and a name. He's my predecessor....
[Oh, now Korra would have to explain. This could be a mouthful. How to make it short.]
See, in my world, there are four elements to bend, and only one person can bend them all--and that's the Avatar. He or she is a figure that is always supposed to master all the elements and protect the world, keep it in balance, and act as a bridge between the mortal and spirit worlds, also balancing them out. The Avatar's always born in the mortal world...actually, the story says the Avatar is supposed to be like this living embodiment of the entire planet's spirit...and anyway, the Avatar's like eternal because the Avatar is constantly reborn. Avatar Aang was the last Avatar, and he was like the greatest one ever...but then he died, and I was born, and became the new Avatar.
[Korra frowns.]
Don't ask me why I'm the Avatar, I'm not really sure. I mean, the cycle has an order, it's like Air, Water, Earth, Fire, the Avatar is born through each of those nations in turn, and it was Water's turn...but why me, specifically--no clue.
[Funny, Korra had never thought about it that way before. Why her? Especially after she's done such a crappy job so far.]
