   Summary

   Following Roku’s death, he’d known that the Air Nomads would have to find their Avatar. Thinking of Roku - his spirit, rather - being born among the children in the Eastern and Western temples, a cycle beginning again, ever-new, ever turning, was beautiful.

   Really, it was.

   Truly.

   Gyatso sighed.

   -

   Four years after Avatar Roku's death, the monks of the Southern Air Temple search for the Avatar, and Gyatso finds himself contending with the strangeness of trying to find an old friend who is lost but not gone.
