"In the era before the Avatar, we did not bend the elements, but life energy itself. In order to bend another's life energy, your own spirit must be unbendable, or you will be corrupted and destroyed." –Giant Lion Turtle
The world was such a different place then. I remember when we were all one people, one family, one tribe. We lived as Nomads, belonging to no place or home, but we didn't mind, for wherever we could breathe in air we were at home.
We did not bend the elements then, but the life energy all around us.
