Description "leaves from the vine
falling so slowly
like fragile tiny shells
drifting in the foam

Little soldier boy,
Come marching home.
Brave soldier boy,
Comes marching home."

I love the episode "Tales of Ba Sing Se." So much, in fact, that this is the second picture I've done from the episode, and I have (at least) started the pencils on a few others.

Iroh's tale is amazing. Simply amazing.

I will reiterate, if Avatar isn't the most powerful show I've ever seen, I don't know what the fuck is...

Leaves from the vine, falling so slow.
Like fragile, tiny shells,
Drifting in the foam.
Little soldier boy, come marching home.
Brave soldier boy, comes marching home.

Those leaves did fall,
From branches overgrown,
Drifting, slowly down,
Resting all alone,

Little soldier boy,
Taken from home,
Forced to fight a war,
Thats not his own,
Thats not his own.

Leaves from the vine,
Falling so slow,
Like fragile, tiny shells,
Drifting in the foam,

Little soldier boy says,
"Carry me home"
Sleeping soldier boy,
Gets carried home.
He's carried home.

One thing I loved about Avatar was how a lot of characters are so human. Iroh is one of the best examples of this: at first, most people see him as the jolly old man who's walked the road of life and drew wisdom from it, though his glories in war would lead to the loss of his own son... The fact that he still celebrates his birthday is touching, it also reminds him of his one regret: and that is why this moment was so bittersweet, yet so sympathetic at the same time.

No matter what station a person can achieve, life is precious.
