As Avatar, it is my sworn duty to protect the mankind from itself, by any and all means nessacary.
And yet, here I am, condemned by my sisters of the Eastern Air temple, for doing what I had to, for being who I am.
I stand here today, being brought before the Council of Elders of the Eastern Air temple, two weeks after I ended the existence of Har Ze, and his band of Rouges, who seized the castle and ended the lives of many of my sisters against my best efforts, ten years ago.
Thera, one of my sisters with whom I've grown up with as a child, now stood apart from me, acting as witness to a crime that vanquished a tyrant and freed
The Southern Air temple was burning
And yet one monk sat, in calm meditation awaiting the Fire Nation soldiers arrival.
The majority of his brothers fled long ago, hoping to avoid the Fire Nation's wrathful attempt to exterminate their race as they bought time for the Avatar to find a good place to hide. Those few that remained to defend the temple were quickly slaughtered by the Comet empowered Fire Nation soldiers, as they refused to resort to lethal force, even at the risks of their homes and their lives.
Gyatso drifted back to reality as he heard the footsteps of the impeding Fire Nation soldiers. He rose to his feet and felt his aged
Power in Ba Sing Se
When He, the Earth King first held the control,
We the people flourished under his power
But when the Earth King's gold heart turned stone cold
Under his abuse we were forced to cower.
So indeed We fought for change against King indifferent and cruel.
Kyoshi intervened right before we won
The Avatar defeated we rebels, and gained control of the Kings rule
Giving us voice where once there was none.
She Established the Dai Li, and order was created
As once more We the people were satisfied.
But with the Dai Li's power, their rule was ill-fated
As they crushed our freedom, and our rights were denied.

Order among Ba Sing Se
Peasant perspective
Like a Waterbender's tidal wave, we surged against the wall that for so long held us under the Kings Control. We used a statue for a ram, and took righteous pleasure of using the head of some fat aristocrat who likely did nothing but laugh at us and keep us in our "place", to break down the very walls that did the exact same thing. Earthbenders, with several strong-fisted pounding against the wall, assisted us in forcing the many layers of the oppressive symbol down to the ground where it belongs.
With the pounding and crushing of the stone reducing it to dust, we let out a collective cry o

Dai Li's Training session
Two silent figures materialized from one of the many alleys that populated the city, taking only a second to blend in once more with the night.
Their footsteps, though heavily encrusted with granite like weight , stalked silently down the lamp lighted street, feet merely a blur as they ran, or rather almost glided down the city's grimy pavement. Their granite like gloves poked out of their green sleeves that was following closely behind their racing bodies, and with covered head lowered to the point where they had an appearance of camouflage in thier otherwise serene surroundings. They said not a word, but k
History of Ba Sing Se
once upn a time a town was founded
one protected from the harms of day
so strong its defenses , so stongly they were grounded
Thus was born Ba Sing Se
a civilzation met the sun
from the dark underneath did they stray
the city became kingdom and then thus begun
the age of Mighty Ba Sing Se
rich and poor clashed as diversity grew strong
the King built many great walls as if to say:
Because we cant get along seperation shall be strong
There shall be order in Ba Sing Se
The kings rule loses its apparent worth
to avoid deah he is force to obey
the firece lady
Smart, cool and calculating,
passionate above all things,

we are His angels without wings
we are Fate's deadly hands
adventure we do embrace
we escape boredom locked in one land
of Our Lords desires we are the face
We hunt to become legends and lore
we search for pleasure and fun
we look to escape lifes deadly bore
and to fulfill the wishes of the One
we penatrate the impenetrable

while our true Allegiance none can see
We regroup to bask in our glory
we come back to love and fame
now we have to refigure our story

Welcome dear friends
your journey is at an end,
for youv'e reached the home of Ty Lee
have a flower, come to my show
relax, sit back, because you know
all is good in the circus of Ty Lee
See me jump, see me soar

for the chance to see the pretty Ty Lee

watch exotic animals go about
all in the show of Ty Lee
friends applaud, Freinds enjoy
Grab a seat, grab a boy,
and enjoy the circus of Ty Lee

the circus of Ty Lee
My hidden knife
silver-coated knife, fly straight and true
bring me a rush of exhilaration that I never knew,
Don't worry about how loud you hit, my parents won't care
But do me a favor before you hit, whistle loud through the air
Give them something to complain about, bring some drama into my life
let them yell, plead,or shout, theyll'e soon regret my secret knife
All my life they wished for me to be thier perfect daughter
So they cracked me open, searched inside, but they never ever caught her
cold hidden knife don't fail me now,don't you forget
I want to finish this cleanly now, with no regrets
They chose what I did and didn't l
My Blue Flame
A blue flame flares away glowing with perfection
One worthy of glorious praise, of endless affection
You will all admire me, love and fear my name
Learn to worship glorious me, wielder of blue flame
My best friends look at me, and try to hide
Their embarrassing love and jealousy locked deep inside
My brother is mad with envy, but he must stay
he's mesmerized by me, can't look away
Mother, you ran from me, and now youll'e pay
Because surely now you can see, that you wish you'd stay
Father, smiles at me, but deep inside
I know he's struggling truly, not to burst with pride

I told Johann that German was a disgusting language
full of grunts and hairballs and
harsh hateful aryan marches
and anger and terror
and words that got caught in the back of your mouth
like old toosie rolls and crunchy peanut butter
And he spoke to me in German
softly, gnetly
of an intimate and romantic language
of patent engineers huddled over brilliant inventions
of piano tuners listening intently
tenderly coaxing strings little by little
of musicians that transcribed the beauty and simplicity of little stone chapels
he spoke German
like it was a mysteriously lovely poem
with fierce pride and protection in his voice
he spo
