Reaction to the ending of The Promise

[savedtheworld]

Well, Mun... it's finally over. I know that in Luceti, I was able to find out from the future people that this conflict would end without me having to make good on that promise. But it feels a lot more relieving to actually live through it. I feel like the world's really moving towards peace now, and that Zuko's really starting to learn from his mistakes. We just gotta find his mom now. Plus... I think things are better than ever for me and Katara, and I'm starting to see the future we can have together. I'm happy that Sokka and Suki are still together, too.

I'm just... I think I'm gonna miss Roku. But I'm gonna have to find my own way as the Avatar. The world's changing, and maybe the Avatar has to change too. Whatever happens to Yu Dao will have to be a symbol of the new way that balance works in the world. And I'll have to work closely with the air acolytes to make sure that my culture's preserved in a really respectful way. It's the only way it can survive when I'm the last Airbender.

But you're really gonna play around with my memories, aren't you, Mun? Tomorrow that event's gonna start in Luceti where we all have amnesia. Part of me can see how things can be easier without remembering... but it feels so wrong to have to forget everything. Things can never be so simple, can they? And... you're thinking of canon updating me in November, aren't you? Then I'll have even more memories, I'll be wiser, and I won't have to worry about Yu Dao anymore. And it'll be easier for me to believe in how possible Korra's future will be.

Have an AU to surprise Aang with xD

[fashionista_monk]

Another Airbender? Well this is certainly a pleasant surprise.

[She paused.]

I suppose that makes you the next Avatar after Roku?

[savedtheworld]

[He knows these things are possible in this place, but he's still not sure if he'll ever get used to seeing another person with an arrow.]

Y-yeah. That's me! Avatar Aang. And you... you're an Airbender, too?

[fashionista_monk]

Yes although I am from a point in time before Avatar Roku's death.

[She shows him her staff just in case he still felt unsure.]

I suppose there aren't many Airbenders here, are there?

[savedtheworld]

So you're from the past? [He gives a bow.] It's an honor to meet you. And I guess you're right. In this place, it's mostly just a bunch of mes, or my future son. I never see Gyatso or anyone around.

[fashionista_monk]

Yes I am. [She bows in return.] The same goes to you.

It is more than a little strange to be without my friends. My mundane said that my time isn't common here nor are my friends as I know them.

[Kanaya decided it may be best to change the subject.]

My name is Kanaya by the way and I am a little curious about something. Would you like me to teach you my Airbending technique? Assuming no one else had the chance to.

[savedtheworld]

Yeah, I guess it isn't. My mun says something about "canon", whateevr that means. But... it's great to meet you, Kanaya! Why don't you show me yours so I can tell for myself if I know it?

[fashionista_monk]

Of course.

[She readied her staff and then looked for a decently sized boulder. Locating her target she looked around to be sure no one else was there before swinging the staff in a quick horizontal motion. The crescent shaped burst of air she created was sharp, sharp enough to cut into the rock.

[heartisabattleground]

I'm glad things resolved in your world, Aang. But yeah, it seems like a bad thing for everyone to forget their memories. But don't worry, I'll be trying to help people remember who they are, so I'll help you too.

[savedtheworld]

Thanks, Sora. I'm not sure how much it'll help, but I'm glad you're looking out for me.

[heartisabattleground]

We're friends right, of course I will. But, I'll figure out a way. I'm sure your memories will be somewhere in your heart. We'll just need to wake 'em up.

[savedtheworld]

I thought memories go in my head...

[heartisabattleground]

[It's kh logic, go with it.]

Well, yeah I guess you're right. But, I mean your heart will remember the feelings you had with the people you knew.

I would advise that way start by looking into keeping your most dangerous criminals from escaping, or getting any sort of arbitrary and poorly explained new identity facilitates their escape.

Purely as an example as you walk down this new path of self-discovery.
