“So, wait, why are we going to the Fire Nation again?” Mako asked, a large backpack slung over his shoulders. Granted, most of the stuff in it was his brother’s — maps, mover posters, and some weird lotion of Varrick’s creation that Bolin insisted would keep skin from burning no matter how sunny it got. … Continue reading
A wonderful illustration by Jessiphia, showing the moment in chapter 5 of Switched Powers when Zuko reveals his waterbending skills to his uncle. Continue reading
Three years later… Kuvira was defeated. Everyone knew it had been coming. The Earth Kingdom was too vast, too varied, too enormous for even the great uniter to pull it together. But Eli didn’t really care about the Earth Kingdom’s fate. His only disappointment lay in the fact that Kuvira had not had the chance … Continue reading
Following Peridot’s minor incident in the kitchen, Pearl banned her from the premises starting the previous day and going forward until the end of time. Peridot was 97% sure Pearl was not being metaphorical.
