Aang has had enough.

Aang

The monks taught me that all life is sacred. That all bending should be used to protect harmony.

Aang

But what happens when the world refuses harmony?

Aang

For years I've tried negotiation. I've shown mercy. I've been patient.

Aang

Yet the nations continue their destructive ways. The balance remains threatened.

Aang

I found ancient scrolls that spoke of waterbending's darkest art. Something even Katara refused to teach me.

Aang

(Perhaps this power is what the world needs... not the Avatar's guidance, but the Avatar's will.)

Aang

Water in plants. Water in clouds. Water in blood.

Aang

All connected. All under the moon's influence. All within my reach.

Aang

Finally... I have mastered bloodbending.

Aang

The Air Nomads are gone because the world refused to change.

Aang

I won't let that happen to the future. Some will call me a tyrant, but history will remember me as the Avatar who finally brought true balance.

Aang

Tomorrow, leaders will find their bodies moving against their will—signing peace treaties, ending wars, redistributing wealth.

Aang

A new era begins tonight. And not with the Avatar's plea, but with the Avatar's command.
