Only the Avatar master of all four elements can bring balance, however, something unprecedented occurred, two Avatars exist at the same time. Wan and Korra, Wan, however, lost his memory and must relearn what it means to be the Avatar at this time and find who he is.

Book I: Air

Chapter II: Leaf in the Wind

"And the final round goes to the Buzzard Wasps!" Korra reads from a newspaper. She puts it down with a huge smile on her face, while Wan slurps noodles. "Huh, who thought they would win?" Wan adds through a gulp, Korra looks at the older man and huffs playfully, "You have no faith, Wan!" The second Avatar laughs, then smirks. "No, I know where to place my bets!" Korra rolls her eyes and averts her attention to Tenzin. "What do you say we go to the arena tonight, catch a few pro-bending matches?" Korra suggests. Tenzin scoffs at the idea. "That sport is a mockery of the noble tradition of bending."

Korra sighs as she rests her head on her hand, absent- mindedly playing with her wooden chopsticks. "Come on, Tenzin, I've dreamed about seeing a pro-bending match since I was a kid! Plus it would be good for Wan to see some action, and maybe it would help him with his memories!"

Tenzin only sighs at the female avatar's pleas. "Korra, you're not here to watch that drivel. You're here to finish your Avatar training. And I doubt that Wan would regain his memories by watching a pro-bending match. So, for the time being, I want you both to remain on the island." Wan and Korra are both disappointed at this answer, Wan glances around the dining room to see men with blue-white robes in every entryway. "So that's why you're keeping me and Korra trapped with wired guards?"

"The White Lotus, I'm surprised you don't know them," Korra corrects as she continues to eat. Then she shoots an annoyed glance at Tenzin, "Trying to watch my every move, Tenzin?" Wan continues to eat as Tenzin explains his reasonings, Korra meanwhile begins to get bored, then she simply sighs, "Alright, you're the teacher"

"Wan, I'm aware that you do remember how to bend?" Tenzin asks, Wan gave an uncertain nod, he was somewhat aware, but it was too complicated for Wan to make out. Again, another rock that he could hold with grains of sand under his feet. "I'm not exactly sure but I'll give it my best shot." Wan smiles softly, he wasn't too confident, but it was worth a try, wasn't it?

Both Wan and Korra changed into air nomad attire as they followed Tenzin to an outside wooden shed hallway. "You excited?" Wan asks, trying to start up some conversation. "I never really was airbended before, so this would be new for me," Wan mused, Korra smiles slightly. "I think you'll get a hang of it," she says, playfully hitting Wan. Tenzin honestly didn't think they would become friends this quickly, he is quite thankful for this. "Often, the element that's the most difficult for the Avatar to master is the one most opposite to the Avatar's personality." Tenzin explains. "For Aang it was Earthbending.''

"Yeah. Well, I'm about as opposite to an Airbender as you can get." Korra glances around, a bit saddened by this. However, Wan gives her a soft grin. "Don't worry Korra, you'll get it eventually." Korra begins to smile again, he strangely knew how to make her feel better- though they were in two different predicaments, they were the same, two avatars trying to find their place. "Let's begin your first lesson." Tenzin begins, and they go out to the courtyard. As they climb a few stairs, they see the airbending children, Ikki jumping up and down, Jinora standing solemnly and Meelo who is waving his hands in the air.
