The Avatar ; bridge between the mortal and spirit world.

When Aang is finally able to contact his past lives again, many friends have been lost, and Aang is left so embittered that the past Avatars decide, in order to help Aang regain his sense of compassion, to send him to another world to relive the events leading up to the catastrophe again. Only he finds that this time he is brought to a distorted reality, where he must fight alongside Zuko and Azula for the war-torn Fire Nation Islands, against the savage Water Tribes.
