"The Avatar Preservance Committee has some concerns about Avatar." Jingbo sat down across from Aang and Katara in Aang's study. His face was serious and solemn.
"We talked about this Jingbo, you can call me Aang. What concerns you?" Aang said with an inflection of concern.
"It's not you, Aang. It's the Avatars in the future." He fixed his glasses nervously.
Aang and Katara exchanged a glance.
"What about them?" Katara asked, voice wavering slightly.
"Well, as you know, every Avatar must master all four elements. Fire, Water, Earth, and Air."
Aang blinked. "Yes..."
"Now, as you know, the Avatar is born with the ability to bend, or control these elements."
Aang rolled his eyes. "Yes, Jingbo."
"Even though the Avatar can bend these elements, it takes years, in most cases, to master these elements. It takes a skilled bender with many years of experience to teach the Avatar to bend these elements correctly." Jingbo explained slowly.
"We know, Jingbo. Where are you going with this?" Aang said.
"This is where the problem comes in. The next Avatar will be born into the water tribe after Aang dies."
Katara squeezes Aang's hand tighter, the thought of losing him surging through her.
"This Avatar will know how to bend all the elements including air. But they will not know how to master them until taught."
"Get to the point, Jingbo!" Aang snapped with urgency.
"There is only one airbender left in the world. And that is Aang, the Avatar. The next Avatar will have to learn airbending from someone, and the only person that knows it will be dead."
The seriousness of the situation hit the couple hard. Aang's eyes widened. Katara gasped.
