History
This small farming village is located at the base of a volcano near the western coast of the Earth Kingdom. This village was originally settled because of its fertile volcanic soil which is used for farming. The only downfall to living here is the constant threat of the volcano erupting -- a worry that is eased by the fortuneteller's yearly volcano prediction. Because of its hidden location in the mountains, Makapu village has been untouched by the ongoing war. Travelers heading along the coast often stop by for food and supplies, and of course to have their fortunes read by Aunt Wu.

The villagers have absolute faith in Aunt Wu, including her prediction that a nearby volcano will not destroy the village. But when Aang and Sokka go to the top of the volcano, they see for themselves that it is bubbling with lava and about to erupt. Aang realizes that if Aunt Wu is wrong about the volcano, then she is wrong about Katara's love prediction also. The kids act fast, using their wits and bending powers to convince the villagers to take action and save their town. Using airbending, Aang stops the lava from destroying the city. In the end, the village is surrounded by a "rock wave".

Panda Lily
A Panda lily is a rare, beautiful flower that only grows on the rim of volcanoes where the soil and humid climate is just right for them. A symbol of love, the panda lily is used to win over the heart of that someone special. That's why Aang climbs all the way to the top of the volcano, he wants to give one to Katara.
