I have found it, to late, but I, I finally understand t. I cannot save myself, but I leave this, in the hope that future generations will understand.
As a younge child I was always facinated by stories of the Avatar. The great tyrant which the world must united to destroy. How each terrible one was cast down, by trickery, skill, grand alliance or saddest of all, those who died of old age, terrorizing the land until then. Yet time and again there was one thing I could not understand. How did the Avatar's rise up?
They were not born into power, they had to learn each element, yet time and again they would. How? I asked the elder, and later, as I traveled the nations, I asked others, the Fire Sages, Water Wise Women, nuns, enlightened travelers. Yet always the the answered were the same, greed, power, evil, a hatred of the system.
And yet these answeres never satified me. For how could they be so foolish. Every child knows the stories of the Avatars, and every child knows that they will kill their teachers as readily as anyone else, how could anyone hope to gain?
But I have learned. When the call came out to opposed the new Avatar, I joinied readily, helping to spy and track his movements. And as I did, I watched and understood the true power of the Avatar.
For the Avatar's power lies in far more than the Avatar State and multiple bending. It's true power lies in what it can do to people. The Avatar can, effect people, I do not now how. It comes to them, and those around it are changed.
This is how the Avatar learns it's elements. Sometimes it warps the perceptions of those around it, taking a cruel delight in having it's first teacher view it as a loving, dutiful child, only to break it's heart with a sadistic glee when it is ready to leave. Sometimes it warps the desire of those it wants, making them angries, more submissive, greedier, whatever it needs to get them to follow it.
Beware this power, for it is vast, and subtle. I wish I could do more but, the Avatar needs an Airbender, and my opposition has drawn his attention. Even now I can feel myself, feel myself changing. I feel rage, anger, anger at the world, the world which stands by as I can changed and controled and that won't listen to me (here the writing trails off into scribble and torn pages)
no, no I must stay focused. I, I cannot keep this book. For soon I would gleefully tear it apart with my own hands. I have sealed in in this waterprof satchel, and dropped it in the rivine so I would not be able to find it. Please if you find this, let the world know. Let them know of the true danger of facing the Avatar.
