Kyoshi feels glad that Yun has voiced her same apprehension, as she knows nothing about spirituality.
Yun is unsure whether he will be able to help since he knows that some past Avatars had trouble communicating with spirits. Yun comments that it looks like a wasteland and Jianzhu informs them that they are here to ease the suffering of a spirit that was awakened by the environmental devastation. Jianzhu lands Pengpeng in the center of a mud-walled hamlet and tells his companions that they have arrived at "an important locus of Eastern spiritual energy". They fly near empty mining settlements located over the westward side of the mountains, which Kyoshi notices are void of natural vegetation. Jianzhu tells them that, since Avatar Kuruk destroyed an entire island when he first practiced entering the Avatar State, they would not be triggering it on their trip. However, the earth sage answers instead, explaining that the Avatar State is a tool and a defense mechanism to empower the Avatar, but he warns that if its control is lost, then they can turn into a "human natural disaster". Jianzhu scoffs and denies this, while Kyoshi quietly asks Yun what it is. Kyoshi finds it unnerving for the three of them to be traveling together and, without Rangi or Hei-Ran present, she feels like they are sneaking away to do something illicit.Īs they fly near the Xishaan Mountains that run along the southeastern edge of the Earth Kingdom, Yun asks Jianzhu if they are going to a secluded area with hopes of invoking the Avatar State. Jianzhu tells them that the airbender did not come because he needed more time to heal, and adds that they are on an "earthbenders-only" outing in which they will be doing a spiritual exercise together.
Jianzhu, Kyoshi, and Yun travel together on Kelsang's flying bison Pengpeng. Kelsang arrives to defend Kyoshi but is murdered by Jianzhu. Jianzhu allows Father Glowworm to take Yun as Kyoshi watches in horror.
Jianzhu takes Yun and Kyoshi to visit a spirit that reveals Kyoshi as the true Avatar.
