Aang knew, from a logical standpoint, anyway, that doing so was the only safe way for them to recover themselves, (Both physically, and mentallt), hopefully, but not likely. Especiaysely, if one passerby just so happened to see the chasos, and then that same person were to also go out and do something about taking into acount that the world was sending child soldgers into battle!
By the Force, tnone of these peple musn't have ghealy, functioning - let alone - properly working, and fully-develoed adult brain thar moust not be working as one's brains should be cuz they are all still only childeren for StarClan's sakes! Chilferen barly in their teens yet, wich isn't much better in the slightist.
And, for number two: Who the kriff puts childeren - pre-teen childeren no less! You knoe the world is screwed when you send 4, more like 4-in-a-half, if you count Prince Zuko. But that one is always a trumpcard:
But still - sending pre-teens kids out into an all-out war-zone, A.K.A (Also Known As) "Sending them to their deaths" leson 101, handwritten on page 234 of Vulome 1 of the Jedi Code Manual. But, all jokes aside: Who's ideea was it to send kids to fight on the frontlines of the Four Nations - now three - cus the Air Nomads are, well, you know... dead and all... no thanks to said war that wenr on for an entire centry by this point! Ugh! Force help me keep my sanity. Just until the end of the war, at least. Cus if it goes on for much longer: Me, or one, if not all, of my friends and I are gonna snap like a Jedi's training bond does once their Padawan reaches Knighthood.
The poibt here is: Why in the Living Force are kids in charge of dtopping a centry-long war? Shoulf that be the job of the adults? What kind of medsed up snake-hearted people had the bright idea to leave it to a group of four - eh - four-in-half - cus Zuko-san is mentally bronen, and thus, walks a thin line between the Light and the Dark. But, nevermind about Sparky's messed up family history! The entite planet is going to hell, and the so-called Avatar - y'know, The Keeper of Balance. The physical manifestion of a powerful beeing destained to be the one who's job it was to be a moratal being - one with a strong tie to both the Sprirt World, along with the Mortal Realm.
The realm more commenly refurred too as the the Human Realm - also called The Realm of the Living - by a small handful of people. The Avatar was string in both these areas, and was the messinger of sorts between worlds. Meaning, the Avatar was the onlt one who could go between worlds. The Bridge Between The Spirt World and The Mortal Realm: That is the main job given to each, and every, Avatar that comes next in the "Avatar Cycle". The cylecle of wich goes like this: Water, Earth, Fire, and last, but certainly not least, finashing off the cycle is the elimant of Air.
living A being that served as the mediphorical Bridge Between the Human and Sprirt relms - is reborn into a child! A kriffing 12-year-old child! And that child: That 12-year-old airbender child, litterly The Last Airbender on planet Eatth, no less! An Air Nomad child who, ran from his home, scared of being seperated from his only caretaker, scared that he wouldn't be the Avatar that the elders had forseen.
Force, Aang saw the diztruction raveraged upon his home, saw the dead bodies of borh his own peple, and the boddies of many diseased Fire Nation shoulgers. And, to tip it all off! Aang saw the scelital remains of his caretaker. No, the man was more than just his caretaker. The man was his teacher, his gardian, his best friend. Bur, even more than that: Giatso was his father. He was a father to Aang: One didn't need to be blood realated to be the parent, or, co-parent to a child.
Um, what? What the Kriff is wrong with evyone? Since when is leaving a 12-year-old child: A greiving, and lets be honizt here: Aang is more than a little mentally unstable! By the Force, he hasn't wven had the time to properly grieve the loss of his whole entire colture, along with the peple who lived by said coltite and costums just like Aang still does, even to this very day.
So, yeah, to some this all up into a easy-to-understand ball of chaos and soaked in decodes of blood, torment, and everything else that this screwed up world and Avatar's of the past have cauded: the Avatar cycle is screwed to fail like a tower of bricks.
Tes, Aang said it! The Avatar Cycle is full of blind fools woho just rell you uselss crap like "You are the Avatar, Aang. The world needs you to save it and "You will need to let go of your attachments. That is the only way to unlock the full power of the Avatar State", and manny manny many more stuff about balince, spirts, and whateverelse came into their heads at that very moment. Force help him! He was really starting to hate the entire linage of Avatar's past for shouldinibg him with such a heavy task.
Blah! Blah! Blah! Nope, notta, not gonna happen, no thanks to a certain Fire Avatar's inability to use his overpowered migic chaos-ending elamental powers to stop his friend from you know, dooming evyone on earth to live in the middle of a war that ended up last far longer then anybody could have ever even imagined. So, basicly, what Aang is trying to say: Is to not leaving a tramatized 12-year-old child by themselves to single-habdidly be left in charge of stoping a war that has been going on for the past 100 years!
By the Force, jist what, exactly, were the past Avatar's thinking? Were they all muttenheads? Well, yes, yes they were! But, stars above, what went wring with their brains? Did they get whacked in the head by a lightsaber? Or are they just plain stupid and careless? I mean, seriously! Use your brain guys! Think things over carfully befofe making haisty, hlf-baked plans before fumping your unresolved issues into the greiving lap of a child barely in his teen years! What in the name of Hylia were the past Avatar's thinking would happen? How could they have been so
