The other Avatars may not be able to help you anymore, but perhaps I can.
[resigned] No one can help me now.
I know I haven't been the best mentor to you. But I realized it was because I had a lot of spiritual growth to do myself. There may still be a way for you to stop Vaatu.
How?
Let go of your attachment to who you think you are, and connect with your inner spirit.
Haven't you heard anything I said? Raava is gone. I'm not connected to her spirit anymore.
I'm not talking about Raava. Raava is not who you are. Come with me, I need to show you something.
Why are you showing me Vaatu's prison?
Because this tree had a history long before it held Vaatu. This is the Tree of Time, and the legends say its roots bind the spirit and physical worlds together.
And you think this tree can help me somehow?
Yes. I have read that long ago, the ancients would meditate beneath this tree and connect with the great cosmic energy of the universe.
These are my memories.
The Tree of Time remembers all. Korra, the most powerful thing about you is not the spirit of Raava, but your own inner spirit. You have always been strong, unyielding, fearless.
Avatar Wan.
Before he fused with Raava, he was just a regular person.
But, he was brave, and smart, and always wanted to defend the helpless.
That's right. He became a legend because of who he was, not what he was. He wasn't defined by Raava any more than you are.
Everyone in Republic City is in danger!
You have to help them, Korra.
How? They're half-way around the world.
Do as the ancients once did. Connect to the cosmic energy of the universe. Don't bend the elements, but the energy within yourself.
[pause] You really think I can do this?
I have no doubt.
[hugging Tenzin] Thank you for not giving up on me.
I'm proud of you.
