"Great Gran-Gran!" the young girl called out. After spotting her grandmother playing with an old gliding toy, the young one ran over and climbed up on her lap. "Will you tell me a story, Gran-Gran?" she asked innocently.
The great grandmother laughed and hugged her little girl tight. "Of course, little one," she cooed. "Now, what story do you want to hear? The one about the moon and ocean spirits?"
"No Gran-Gran!" the little girl giggled. "Tell me The Legend of Aang."
"Sweetie, that story is so long. Are you sure you want to hear it? 'Cause I won't stop once I start," she threatened playfully. She knew what her great granddaughter would reply, and began to chuckle once the child started.
"Gran-Gran, come on. That story's got bending, fighting, penguins, and lots of romance. It's the perfect legend."
"Oh alright," the old woman laughed. Blue eyes clouded over in remembrance before she began her tale. "Well, it started out like all good stories start: with a quick tempered young waterbender, a sarcastic, meat loving warrior, and a boy in an iceberg that would change the world forever."
