'You're doomed to repeat it'? Funny, how that would be a common thing across worlds.
( seriously, why is the universe like this. it's going to give him an aneurysm. )
Anyway. Yeah. For the longest time it was just one man, the one who'd escaped initially, and his youngest son. Then his son, Tenzin — he's one of those masters I mentioned — had kids, and all of them have been airbenders so far. Then some crazy stuff happened with the spirits, and suddenly people all over the world just... suddenly got airbending.
( he still remembers that phone call. sleeping under his desk, whacking his head on it when the phone rang, and having someone tell him that his brother was suddenly airbending. it'll never not be weird. he was incredulous the whole way over to the shop, but having a door blown off its hinges into his face was kind of convincing, as far as these things go. )

Anyway. It's better than it used to be.
