INT. FIRE NATION - THRONE ROOM – DAY
WIDE ON: SOZIN leads forward on his throne, elderly and sickly looking, as the ASSAULT GENERAL approaches the throne.
SOZIN
Well?
ASSAULT GENERAL
It is done, my lord.
CLOSE ON: SOZIN is unconvinced, and leans further forward.
SOZIN
What did he look like?
MEDIUM ON: The general looks confused by his question.
ASSAULT GENERAL
He was near your age, sir. I’d guess about eighty.
CLOSE ON: SOZIN closes his eyes, and sighs.
ASSAULT GENERAL
Is something wrong, my lord?
SOZIN
The next Avatar was only born as Roku died. He should have been a child.
MEDIUM ON: The ASSAULT GENERAL gasps and hangs his mouth open, looking for words to say.
ASSAULT GENERAL
My apologies, my lord.
SOZIN stands up from his throne, and walks down toward the general. He sneers at the man, before casting enough fire at him to vaporize him where he stands.
CLOSE ON: SOZIN catches his breath, and turns to an advisor.
SOZIN
Eradicate them all. Let none escape!
EXT. ANTARCTIC – DAY
A storm rages on above in the sky, with harsh winds and constant thunder.
CLOSE ON: AANG holds on to APPA’s reins as the winds buck them both about. He yells.
WIDE ON: The two crash into the waves, as AANG struggles to bring APPA out of the water. He manages, but they crash back into the water, and are unable to get out.
CLOSE ON: AANG drifts down, his eyes closing and his mouth drifting open. All of the sudden, his eyes open. They’re glowing white, as are the arrow markings donning his head.
WIDE ON: AANG slams his hands together, creating an ice shell around him and APPA.
CLOSE ON: AANG’s eyes close and his glow diminishes.
