I sigh and reply, "Alright, but I'm still not sure about him.", as I leave the room. As I reach them I hear Tenzin say that I could be a help to the stranger. I interject "I'm not sure I want to help him!" "Ms. Sato I sorry that I injured Avatar Korra or caused you any concerns, but I am a stranger in what is to me a very strange land. The war torn landscape, the ruins of the city, and to top it off was Avatar Korra flying through the air with no visible means of lift was quite a shock to me.? "So you don't have any Air Benders on your world?" "Ahh, Ms. Sato I don't know what you mean by Air Benders. Bolin made a reference to bending, is this related to that?" "Tenzin could you answer this question, since you're the Air Bending Master here." "Thank you, Asami." As I turn towards the stranger I realize that I don't know his name! "I'm sorry I don't know your name yet, as you know I'm Master Tenzin, leader of the Air Nation." "Oh, I'm sorry for my poor manners, I am Foad, Foad U'Pad, inadvertent interplanetary traveler." "Well Foad, Bending is a gift from the Spirit Turtles that allow some individuals to manipulate an element. There are four types, with some having specialist skills. The basic types are Air, Earth, Fire and Water. The Avatar is the one person who can manipulate all four elements at once. When the body of the Avatar dies their soul is reincarnated in the next Avatar. My Father, Avatar Aang passed on 20 years ago, with his soul going to Avatar Korra." "But you have the ability to fly?" asks Asami. "We can fly with the assistance of machines. But to change the subject, Tenzin thought you and your company could help in licensing some of the tech, I mean technology that I brought with me. Most of this, my weapons, communications and computer devices were confiscated by Chief Bei Fong. I'm going to need to earn some coin in your culture, since it looks like I have no way back to my world." "Why Future Industries, why not some other company?" "In part it's to try and make up for our initial meeting, also Tenzin's tells me you're the CEO of the largest industrial corporation on the planet, you're the Avatar's girlfriend, so that shows you're doing something right, and that the Avatar holds some type of great cultural significance."
