Book IV: peace Chapter 7: fixing before evolving

The damage Pha caused the earth kingdom wasn't little, material was it or emotional, Doku and Futuki were interrogated concerning the royalty's location, problem is, they truly didn't know it, before anything could be fixed Xen and Jen needed to be found, at first Yin thought Pha may have hid them inside the kingdom, so he roamed around the capital using seismic sense trying to find them, nothing, the earth kingdom was extremely spacious, and all of the world is even bigger, search parties were launched across the globe, and they knew they only had 2 days assuming Pha gave them food and water the day before her death, if they aren't found by then they may die of dehydration, everyone was unsure of a lot of things, but what was sure was that the king and queen weren't hidden in Zaofu, Garasu no machi, or any of the air temples, which meant people from those places didn't need to search their homes and were able to help in other places, on order to encourage citizens to search as well, a large prize was offered for whoever finds them. A week of search passed, nothing yet,

"The only royalty that wasn't present at that time is their daughter, which is 3 months old, the prince died and they're for sure gone, Pha could've hid them in the spirit world for all we know.

-so what do you suggest Yin?"

Yin looked at Akira.....

——

"Since humans existed, evolution is a part of their nature, we change what's wrong, and improve what's right, throughout the existence of this powerful kingdom, we had kings and queens that abused their powers, and that's the issue with royalty, you're not picked by the people because they like you, you're someone's child, and people are forced in to liking you. Therefore, speaking on the behalf of all mayors, and every political leader of the earth kingdom, after countless reunions and observations, the earth kingdom is now officially, the earth states. Every 4 years an election will be held, where you people vote for how you want to be your leaders, there will always be 2 winners, and they will co-manage the states, if they managed them well, you can reelect them as much as you want, that leans if someone is good enough they can be the earth president from 33 until the end of their life, the first elections ever will be held in 3 months"

And that, was a new democratic change to the earth kingdom, rules were made for who can become a candidate:

-they need to know how to earthbend

-they need to be 33 or older

-they need to have a good past

-they need to have an earth kingdom citizenship (foreigners can obtain it after 15 years of staying in the earth kingdom)

......

, and who can elect:

-they need to be 25 years old, or have mastered earthbending, bending masters are wise enough to make mature decisions

-they need to have a citizenship

-some mentally disabled people can vote, some can't, it depends on the disability.

.......

After that was settled, a massive funeral was held, with most of the bodies Pha took out, and their families, the tears, screams, misery and heartache the gamily members expressed broke the broken avatar even more, and he hated humans so much more, they were all buried in the earth kingdom's, well the earth states' central cemetery. Shortly after rebuilding missions started, and some missing bodies were found, all of this happened in 10 days, and as the rebuilding went on, Yin needed to move on to the next step; before his spirit merged with his body again, Raava and Vaatu ordered him to find the best bender of every element, dismissing himself, he already has Akira for fire, Hiroku for water, monk Lin for air, and he needed the best earthbender he could find, which was his sensei, Ushi

"The Qi mountains, that's where we stayed, I really hope he's there.

-do you want me to go with you?

-no, I want to visit by myself.

...

Tin reached the mountain, he took a deep breath, he was shaking a little, nervous? Happy? He didn't know what he was feeling, but he knew his feelings were genuine. He opened his palms, put one against the other horizontally, and took another breath, just for the air earring to make its first normal appearance, it glowed yellow, air started to surround him, gently lifting him up until reaching the top of the mountain, then he put his foot down lighter than a dead leaf falling off of a tree during autumn. Ushi was kneeling on a rock table, with his back facing Yin, he put down his cup of herbal tea, and smiled, something Yin couldn't see, but could definitely feel, he rushed and hugged him, almost making the tea spill. A rock seat showed out of nowhere in the other direction, Yin sat on it, and Ushi talked

"You grew up haven't you? Thought I'd be dead by now bi here am I.

-trust me you're going to outlive me, I'm eternally grateful for what you taught me, I'm sure you heard of what happened over the past 17 years.

-I did, I always had faith you will make it out, not only alive and well, but more mentally mature and evolved than when you started, I can tell my expectations were met" ushi took a sip from hid tea then continued "you didn't come here for no reason, did you?

-you always say there's a reason behind everything, and this visit is no exclusion

-so, care to explain?

-I wish I knew, I'm only following Raava's commands, she refused to tell me about any detail, all I know is I need you to come with me to the beach, well, you and sole of my friends, Raava told me I can bring anyone I want to with me, but you and 3 others: Monk Lin, Hiroku and Akira needed to be there

-if the spirit of good ordered something, that means it can't be nothing but beneficial, although you know how much I despise human company, I'll take it and meet your new friends

-thank you so much" Yin said as he bowed down

Everyone arrived at the beach, and Yin waited just as Raava told him, suddenly he entered the avatar state and Raava glowed through his chest and started telepathically talking to him, no one could hear a thing, they just looked

"Avatar

-Raava, what's going on?

-I'm only here as a bridge, helping summon some people, only you can hear me right now, but everyone will be able to hear them right now

-what? Who are you talking about?"

A beam of light came out of Yin's eyes shining into the sky, from every direction there was a ginormous figure of each guardian.

"I, Gaia, am the guardian of the earth element, after eternal contemplation and predictions of development over the years, we, the guardians, along with the highest spirits of pure and evil, concluded that avatar Yin, the 184th avatar, is the avatar that held enough knowledge to be deemed worthy of bringing back the 5th element, void. The only lion turtle that hasn't vanished yet is the energybending lion turtle, still protecting its element, void, and only allowing avatars to master it, by merging the 5 element jewelry, the 5th lion turtle will vanish, for a new guardian to appear, and a new generation of energybenders, pure spirited humans, to roam around the earth keeping balance and equity as dominating characteristics in a corrupt heartless world"

Shango picked up after Gaia "in a few seconds, upon the horizon you will all observe a giant island moving toward you, when it gets close enough, you all get on it, that's the lion turtle, from there on it will guide you as to what to do"

Eya continued "Ushi, Akira, Lin and Hiroku, you 4 have more knowledge and better developed spirits and double spirits than any other bender, excluding the avatar, us guardians deemed you 4 as the best benders of the current living humans, the avatar will have to rely on you to bring back the 5th element"

Yemoja finally finished

"A combination of bending, spirituality, element jewelry, and power, will bring back the 5th element, ending 2 existences, and birthing eternal ones, energybenders are completely different from normal benders, Raava will explain everything in the appropriate time to the next avatar, for now, do as instructed, and let things play out, thank you for your contribution to material spiritual equity benders, maybe not every human is bad after all"

The guardians then vanished and Yin got out of the avatar state, just to observe the island showing (remember ATLA season 3 ep19) and as instructed, Monk Lin, Hiroku, Akira, Yin, Ushi, Naomi and Reo, Lord Pyrithion, Niko and Nova, were all waiting to see where this is all leading....
