Pruning the Garden

Avatar Kyoshi died and I could do nothing. I had no power in that moment and in a way I still feel powerless. Add i still feel that loss of control, that body ready to destroy itself as Ashka said. Nothing and no one should ever feel that pain.
 
I told Yui and Lo Shi that I would do what had to be done. They said I would not be alone. That at least is reassuring. A burden is lighter when not born alone. And if it is pruning a garden that brings us together, than so be it. As Laghima wrote, "New growth cannot exist without first the destruction of the old." If the world is to be ready for a new Avatar and a new Era, we must clear it of any remnant weeds and thorns.
