By 102 AG, the bridge's dark history had become a tale of the past, though it was one that Gilak intended to revive, as he had chosen the bridge as the meeting point for the exchange of Earth King Kuei for Head Chief Hakoda. Team Avatar and Hakoda followed Gilak's instructions and traveled to the bridge, where they stayed on one side while Gilak and his army on the other. The first to cross were Thod and his disciples, who chi blocked Team Avatar per the terms of the exchange, after which Hakoda and Kuei were sent onto the bridge.
