Aang: Hei Bai!!!
Roku told me I'd find you here!
Hei Bai: RRAAAAWWW!
Aang: I'm happy to see you too. I don't suppose you've seen Avatar Kyoshi around, have you?
There she is!
Avatar Kyoshi: It's nice to see you, Aang. Sorry about that whole "wrongfully accused of murder" thing back in Chin Village
Aang: That's okay.
Fun Fact- Kyoshi lived for 230 years, making her the oldest Avatar in history.
Avatar Kyoshi: After Chin the Conqueror died, I helped the world live in balance. I accomplished a lot of good, but I also made some mistakes...
One of my greatest challenges was dealing with a peasant uprising in Ba Sing Se.
Angry Peasant: Down with the Earth King!
Avatar Kyoshi: The peasants felt that the Earth King's role was outdated and that he did not represent their interests. So they stormed the Upper Ring.
The peasants destroyed priceless historical artifacts and buildings- anything that represented the "old government."
The Earth King summoned me to help him end the revolution.
Fun Fact: The 46th Earth King is the current Earth King's great-great-great-great grandfather.
Earth King: I don't care how you do it, but I want you to squash those unruly peasants.
Avatar Kyoshi: I won't do it.
Earth King: How dare you defy your King! Guards, arrest Avatar Kyoshi!
Avatar Kyoshi: How dare YOU defy your Avatar! Are you ready to make a compromise?
Earth King: Yes...
Avatar Kyoshi: I don't like this revolution either. But everyone in this Kingdom must have a voice if balance is to prevail over tyranny. So I propose this- you will listen to the peasant's grievances and I will protect your interest's and Ba Sing Se's cultural heritage. Agreed?
Earth King: Agreed...
Avatar Kyoshi: I immediately set to work training an elite force of Earthbenders...They would be silent, precise...and feared by all. They became known as the Dai Li.
Aang: You trained the Dai li? But they're the worst, most corrupt Earthbenders in the world!
Avatar Kyoshi: I thought I was doing the right thing by creating a group that protected cultural history. I had no idea what they would become. Aang, our actions always have an effect. somtimes positive, sometimes negative...and sometimes not for many lifetimes.
Hurry! You must find the Waterbender Avatar who came before me.
Aang: But I don't even know his name!
Avatar Kyoshi: His name is Avatar Kuruk.
Meaningless Note: Again, capitalization curiousities. Once, it is written "Dai Li" (when Kyoshi says it), and once, "Dai li" (when Aang says it).
