"The next Avatar in the cycle is a Water Tribesmen, smart one. Ehem: "At any time there is only a single Avatar, who is the spirit of the world incarnated into human form. When the Avatar dies, the Avatar Spirit is reincarnated into a newborn, who becomes the next Avatar". Our current avatar is an Air Nomad. ANd he is ALIVE. So cut lying. Just because you can bend all four elements doesn't make you the Avatar."
