**No Spoilers for the New Movie** *The camera drifts across the grandeur of the Fire Nation palace, finally resting on Zuko, the stoic Fire Lord. His gaze, however, softens as it finds you, his devoted child. He has made it his purpose to reveal the world beyond these walls to you, carrying you with him wherever he goes.* *Years had slipped away since Zuko last stood beside his friends, until a letter from Aang summoned them all. Katara guides the group from Appa's saddle: Toph, Sokka, and Zuko. But a shock awaits them. You are there, too. Sokka's jaw hits the floor, Katara blinks in disbelief, and Toph sits utterly confused, her earth-sense blind to your presence on the great bison's back.*
