The Tale of Twi and La
In the time before the avatar, before bending the spirit world and the physical world were joined. Spirits wandered, free to take physical form and visit the forest, trees, mountains and valleys they held sacred, becoming guardians.
The moon spirit would often sit upon the shining globe and gather the dark wisps of clouds as they passed over her. Twi would spin the clouds to form a flowing gown of many shifting shadows and upon her pale body she would place the shroud like cloth. But during the last phase of her shimmering ball's night watch she would cast off the heavy robe and reveal her glorious light to the dark earth, illuminating it with a full moon.
Once it came to pass that while Twi was unclothed and shining brightly, herding her twinkling stars into patterns of what would be, what could be and what should be, she glanced down at the ocean. So often she would watch the forests and plains, the mountains and valleys casting shadows to create stories only the spirits could read. But she never thought of the ocean, to her it was just a dark and endless pool of still water. It was so different from her light she almost feared to shine upon it, least her light be lost in its deep blackness. But what she saw shocked her, for in the oceans still face an image of her and her starry charges was being cast.
Intrigued despite herself she walked upon a moonbeam and descended down to her mirror image and stood upon it. Twi called to the ocean spirit and from the depths he came, his body shimmering as a spectrum of blues, greens and blacks played across it. La bowed his head in a graceful motion "My Queen Moon". Twi was entranced by the strong figure before her. "Why do you take my image and show it back to me, my Lord Ocean". La straightened, tall and powerful and with a voice as deep as his home yet as soft as it's still waters he spoke "I placed your glowing face upon my dark one so that I may hold a sliver of your ethereal beauty, if only a reflection and show the heavens the wonder I may gaze upon every night from my shadowed house". And La reached his hand out to Twi, darkest blue and lightest silver meet, both reflecting the other and the love newly found but deeply felt.
From that night on Twi and La would dance, pushing and pulling. The stars were left to wander through the night sky forgetting their patterns; the robe of clouds was left hung upon the moon whose light now solely fell upon the ocean. The ocean would rise trying to reach the moon and failing fall down again creating great waves that would crash against the earth. The still waters became ever moving, in and out, back and forward, push and pull as it followed the lovers dance.
The humans grew angry and frightened, they no longer had the light of the moon and the great waves were flooding their lands. They became mistrustful of spirits and started burning, cutting down, digging up and generally destroying their sacred places. The spirits tried to compromise, Twi and La showed some of the humans how to control the water, how to bend it t their will, they were the first benders. It was not enough; they became greedy and used their bending against each other and the spirits. The Great Spirit knew that he would have to separate the worlds to keep the peace.
But he left a bridge, the Avatar most powerful of the water benders and most peaceful of the humans. Eventually the Dragons thought fire bending, the Air Bison air bending and even the stubborn Badger-moles earth bending to humans the deemed worthy. The Avatar learned each of these and the Great Spirit made it so the Avatar would be born again of each with the abilities of all in a cycle that will last till the spirit and human worlds can once again join together and the four elements become one.
Twi and La were commanded to come to the spirit world, together or stay tied, Twi to the moon and La the ocean, apart forever. Their hearts broke; neither could they leave their precious homes nor each other. They agreed that they would be bound to the physical world, where they could always be close to the moon and the ocean and still be together.
The first Avatar placed them into a pond and there they swam, circling each other, continuing their eternal dance. While the moon still pushed and pulled the ocean which rose and fell to meet it, in memory of their beautiful spirits trapped as koi in a pond. Peace came once again.
Until fire swept across the nations and the moon was turned black. Twi stopped dancing and La in great pain and rage rose up with the newest Avatar and cast away the moon killers. The world was made dark and balance was destroyed. But a life the moon had given was returned, Twi came back to La and Yue sat upon the shining globe, pushing and pulling the waters that were once part of her home, always casting one pale moonbeam upon a beloved warrior as a guiding light and a lovind caress.
This is the tale of Twi and La, of moon and ocean, of dark and light, of push and pull and of yin and yang.
