Ahh, but this is easy to explain. We know from U7, that the
Guardian is roughly human sized, though very large, but clearly not
big enough to hold the Avatar in his palm. Also, where is the rest
of his body? The hand (and arm) shown in U7.5 & U8 is probably just
a spell. And why didn't the Guardian dump the Avatar on a world with
no atmosphere? Well, the Avatar was plucked from the void in the first
place...
