“For earthbending, the original benders were badgermoles. One day, when I was little, I ran away and hid in a cave. That’s where I met them. They were blind just like me, so we understood each other. I was able to learn earthbending, not just as a martial art, but as an extension of my senses. For them, the original earthbenders, it wasn’t just about fighting. It was their way of interacting with the world.”
