Chapter 415: Blind Bender
"Aang, the power of Avatar in your body doesn't come because of special biology. It is because of Raava, the spirit of light and peace. She is one of the oldest known spirits, having existed over ten thousand lifetimes before the appearance of the first humans.
"When the first Avatar, an elderly Wan laid dying on a war-torn battlefield, apologizing to Raava for failing to bring peace. Raava reassured him that all would not end in vain as they would remain together for all of Wan's lifetimes and would never give up. As Wan exhaled his last breath, her spirit, accompanied by Wan's, exited his body in the form of golden light and reincarnated as the next Avatar.
"So, every new Avatar's soul would get combined with them and when they die and reincarnate again, the previous Avatar's soul also accompanied them. This is the case with you and Kyoshi too. There is no known way to defuse two spirits and even if I did, then the next Avatar would have never been born. I might have ended up killing the soul of all the previous Avatars and Raava.
"Kyoshi was a strong woman. She knew what she was meant to do and also died while doing it, making me vow to her that I won't save her when she will be on death bed. I didn't save her but I did show her the heaven where I live. So, she lived a happy old life before dying. It was very painful for me to see her, my child, die like that. It is never easy for a parent." Alexander explained in-depth, though his face had turned sad by the end of it.
Aang nodded at that and stayed silent. He didn't know what to tell him. He had himself lost his whole tribe.
They eventually came to Kyoshi Island where Alexander went to the huge monument of Kyoshi first and prayed for a while. He knew that Kyoshi's spirit was in Spirt Realm and was recallable by Aang if he ever needs to. But it was also true that he couldn't give her a physical body. This was much different from what he had done for Hagoromo and Hamura because along with living in the Spirit Realm, she also resided in Aang and was a part of him.
"BWAHAHA...STOP... NO MORE... OKAY, I WILL NOT SHOUT!"
"No good, you are still shouting. Tickle punishment," Chomei replied.
Alexander heard the noises and went towards it. Soon the view of Chomei teaching his patient a lesson and Amy brushing Appa came into view.
