" What can I say?" "I'm pumpe up to learn that Unalaq spirit fighting." "I'm not here to teach you to fight spirits." "I'm here to help you begin your spiritual training." "We're going to one of the most remote places in the worl... the long-neglecte spiritual center of your tribe:" "the South Pole." "You're gonna train me at the South Pole?" " We will o more than just train." "By neglecting the spirits, the people of the South have brought arkness upon themselves, an now it threatens to estroy our tribe." "We must set things right." "The Southern Water Tribe epens on you." " A angerous trip to the South Pole?" "Count me in." "There it is, the Southern Air Temple." "Isn't it magnificent?" " Master Tenzin, welcome."

" We're Tenzin's brother an sister." " Avatar Aang ha other chilren?" "The worl is fille with more Airbeners?" " We're not Airbeners." "Oh." "I'm so sorry." " I thought you sai Bolin was coming." "He sai he' be here, but I can't worry about it." "I have to make sure you have everything you nee for a safe trip." "Thanks, Captain Expeition, but I'll be fine." " Tonraq, what o you want?" "I hear you're taking Korra to the South Pole." "I'm coming." " Absolutely not." "You're a istraction to Korra an a hinrance to what nees to be one." " My aughter is not going without me." "She nees someone to watch after her." "Da, why o you always think you know what's best for me?" " Because he's misguie." "The sa truth is it's men like your father who have put the spirit worl out of balance." "He's ignore my warnings in the past an hasn't learne since." " What happene in the past?" " It oesn't matter." "What matters is the Everstorm." " The Everstorm?" " It's a massive blizzar that's battere the South Pole for ecaes." "I'm coming, unless you think you can stop me." "Guys!" "Hey, wait for me!" "Check it out." "I'm traveling in style." "Whoa!" "Okay, I'm sorry." "Still getting use to that throttle." " Uh, where' you get the rie?" "Varrick." "He's awesome." "He also gave me this fancy snowsuit." "It's inflatable with an internal heater, emergency beacon, an foo ration pouch." "I mean, if I get lost, I can survive in this thing for, like, like, a month." "Who wants some freeze-rie cucumber-quats?" "Noboy?" "Di I interrupt a conversation?" " No, the conversation is over." "Da, come if you want." "Just on't interfere with my training." "Does this siecar have the capacity for two passengers?" " Sure oes." "But, uh, who's gonna rive?" " Well, what o you know?" "Looks like..." " Go away, Mako." "So once we get to the South Pole, then what happens?" "You will open an ancient spirit portal." "I'm sorry." "What now?" "At the South Pole, there is a portal that connects our worl to the spirit worl." "But it has long been close." "An that's why the evil spirits are attacking?" "There are no evil spirits." "There is light an ark in them all." "But when they're unbalance, the arkness takes over." "If you can open the portal in time, balance will be restore." " What o you mean "in time"?" "There's a reason the Glacier Spirits Festival ens on the winter solstice." "That's when the spirit worl an the physical worl are close together." "Only then can the Avatar open the portal." " The winter solstice is tomorrow." " Exactly." "An we can't affor to wait another year." "Easy, Naga." " What are those?" " Dark spirits." " Let's keep moving." "We have to fin a safe place to set up camp." "Uncle, why o you think the ark spirits are following us?" "Can we not talk about ark spirits, please?" " My brother oesn't like ghost stories." " Don't worry." "I will protect you, my feeble turtle-uck." " Thank you." " Saly, this isn't a ghost story." "This is real." "The spirits are angry because he's here." "Haven't you ever wonere how your father ene up in the South Pole?" "Why he's never taken you to visit his homelan in the north?" " Unalaq, this is not the time." " You're right." "You shoul have tol her a long time ago." " Tol me what?" " I left the North Pole because..." "I was banishe." " You were banishe from the North?" "Why?" "Because I almost estroye the entire tribe." "20 years ago, I was a general in the Northern Water Tribe, sworn to protect my people." " Brother, we're being attacke." "Tonraq:" "I rove them out of the city an eep into the frozen tunra." "We tracke them eep into an ancient forest." "Many believe this forest was the home to spirits, an the barbarians retreate there because they thought we wouln't attack on such hallowe grouns." "They thought wrong." " We capture the barbarians, but in the process, we estroye the forest." "I in't realize the consequences of what I ha one." "By estroying the forest," "I unknowingly let loose angry spirits." "They threatene to estroy everything." "The entire city." "Unalaq was able to guie the spirits back to the forest, but by then, the amage ha been one." "For being the cause of so much evastation, my father banishe me from the Northern Water Tribe in shame." "That's when I came to the South an starte a new life." " Whoa." "So you were suppose to be chief, then he became chief." "No woner you guys on't like each other." "Ow!" "What?" "Isn't that what happene?" "I can't believe you kept this from me." " I was protecting you from the shame" "I brought on the family." " Why o you keep hiing things from me an then telling me it's for my own protection?" "I'm tire of you protecting me." " Korra." "Jinora:" "Wow." "The statue room." " That's right, Jinora." "The most sacre place in the entire Southern Air Temple." "Here you will fin statues of every Avatar who ever live." "Where are your brother an sister?" " You can't catch me." "I'm the greatest air skater of all time." "Oof!" "Meelo!" "Korra, you have every right to be ma at me, but I on't want you to make the same mistake I mae." "I shoul have never gone into that forest, an we shouln't be going to the South Pole now." "Spirits an the physical worl shoul remain separate." " Da, it's my job to be the brige between the spirits an the physical worl, an I finally have a chance to live up to my potential." "You on't even know if what Unalaq says is true." " You want proof?" "Look to the sky." "Where I'm from, the spirits are at peace an they light up the ark." " The Northern lights." " Yes." "There use to be lights in the South as well." "But uring the 100 Year War, the South was thrown out of balance an the lights isappeare." "When the war ene, the North helpe to rebuil you physically as a nation." "But we have not rebuilt you spiritually." "Now the spirits no longer ance in your skies." "Instea, they rampage in the Everstorm." " I think we're here." " Is that what I think it is?" " We must keep moving." " Oh, man." "I really on't like this." " Bolin, just stay calm." "There's no reason to..." "Panic!" " Aah!" " Korra, look out!" " Oh, it's in the engine!" " Is everyone okay?" "I can't stop it." "I'll save you." "I'm a raft!" "Uh, can someone please eflate me?" "Thank you." " Oh, great." "There goes our equipment." "Now what are we suppose to o?" " There's only one thing to o." "We have to turn back." " No." "The solstice is tonight." "We're so close." " This mission is too angerous." "We're leaving." " No, Da." "You're leaving." " Don't worry, sir." "I'll keep an eye on Korra for you." " Thank you, Mako." "Let's open this portal an lea your father an the entire Southern Water Tribe in the right irection." "We on't have much time." " Then what are we waiting for?" "So, what exactly were you an my a talking about?" " Nothing." "He was just worrie about you, that's all." "You know, sometimes I woner whose sie you're on." " There aren't any sies." "We all just want to help however we can." "You have to trust that we're here for you." " We've arrive." " Trees frozen in ice." " It's just like the sacre forest" "Tonraq estroye in the north." " So what o I o?" "You must fin your way to the heart of the forest where the ormant spirit portal lies." "From here, you're on your own." " Wait a secon." "There's no way she's going alone." " Yeah, if she goes, we go too." " The Avatar must go alone." "But I on't have any connection with the spirits." "In fact, it seems like they hate me." "You have to believe in yourself like I believe in you." "What is it?" " I guess I'm just so use to people telling me how to o things that I forgot what it was like to have someone trust in me." "Korra, all the past Avatars live on insie of you." "Let them guie you." "Let them help you fin the light in the ark." " Wait here." "I'll be okay." "Goo luck." "The spirit portal." "Amazing." "What Avatar is this?" " The light in the ark." "Why isn't it opening?" "Come on, portal." "Open!" "Oof!" "The spirits ancing in the sky." " I can't believe it." " It's beautiful." " She i it." " Hey, Korra, you're back!" "Hey, Korra's back." "Wha...huh?" "Why are you initiating physical contact with another woman?" " Everything you sai was true." "Avatar Korra, you have taken the first step in bringing balance back to the South, an soon, the whole worl." " You never cease to amaze me." " Thanks." "By the way, I'm really sorry for being a total pain." "Things were really stressful an confusing." "It's har being the Avatar." "It's harer being the Avatar's boyfrien." "What are all your Northern troops oing here?" "Opening the spirit portal was only the first step in getting the Southern Water Tribe back on its righteous path." "There's more ifficult work to be one before our two tribes are truly unite."
