I thought of this because I was bored and curious about Koh and Yue. That's all. Plus the couple Sokka/Yue is still the ONLY canon couple in Avatar besides Sokka/Suki I guess...
Chapter One
Yue couldn't turn back now. Her nonexsitant heart beat, a sign that Yue felt vulnerable and more human with every step. She clenched her fists. She couldn't back down now, not when she was so close to facing the one thing that could bring her down to the earth below.
Yue was throwing away her everlasting youth, a heavenly palace in the stars and moon just to be with him.
Sokka. The one who taught her more about life beyond the icy walls of the Northern Water Tribe. He was comical, sweet and although could be awkward and sarcastic, Yue loved him.
The other deities, such as the Goddess of the Stars and the Rain Spirit had warned her of her quest and tried to coax her out her decision.
"Goddess Yue, why are you giving up your eternal godliness just to be back on that bloodsoaked earth? " they would say in utter horror. Yue would smile and respond,
"You wouldn't understand."
Her search led her to the one spirit who could make her wish come true. Unfortunately, Yue had heard rumors about this thing, that he was mischievous and tricky, sneaky and not trustworthy. It did not matter to Yue. She wanted to be back on the ground.
She entered the dark, damp cave. She tiptoed carefully but tripped/
"Oh!" she fell down the muddy stairs, getting her beautiful dress dirty.
Something scurried, Yue could hear pitter patter of legs. She felt a bit scared and wondered if this spirit was a spider of some sorts. She hated spiders.
"Who is there?" boomed a sly voice.
Yue replied confidently,
"It is I, Yue, the Goddess of the Moon."
A face creeped out of the eerie darkness. Yue inhaled in fright.
"Oh, a goddess? Yes...you must be the new Moon Goddess...how pretty," he cooed but Yue looked serious.
"Are you Koh the Face Stealer?" she asked, but knew the answer.
His face changed, this time to a young man with a beard.
"Why I am, dear Yue. I am. Why do you seek me?" he asked, circling the young goddess.
"I...have a wish...and I heard you could grant it for me."
Koh laughed maniacally, his echo leaping off the cobwebbed cave. Yue frowned in disappointment.
"Do I look like a wish-granter? Ha! I smell mortal weakness in you...mmm...so strong!" He leapt at her, but an unearthy force repeled him, making him crash into a wall.
Yue did not move an inch. She sighed in relief. She was of a higher rank of a deity than he was, and therefore, Koh could not steal her face even when she showed a facial expression of emotion.
"You can't steal my face, can you Koh?" she said haughtily.
Koh sneered spitefully.
"What do you want?" he spat.
Yue clasped her hands together and spoke,
"I wish to be human again."
This set off Koh another round of laughter and chortling, making Yue frown again.
"You must be joshing me! No god or goddess has ever turned human, and it never will happen!" he roared.
Yue pouted.
"Please? There must be some way...I beg of you!" she begged Koh.
Koh raised his brow and crept closer to the girl.
"I guess...oh no. Nope," he expected her to ask him to finish. She did.
"Well...my dear Yue, I can return you to the earth below...but on two conditions," he spoke slyly.
Yue beckoned him to continue.
"The firt one is you can be human for only a month."
"What? No! I will not accept that!" she stomped her foot.
Koh shrugged.
"Or not. I guess you don't want to be on the ground again..." he grinned smugly.
Yue looked down at her feet.
"What's the second condition, Koh?"
Koh fiddled with his potions and replied,
"If you can find a replacement for your status in that one month, you can remain human."
Yue sighed and asked,
"What...what if I don't finish the task?"
Koh pondered and then came up with a devious answer.
"If you fail, Yue...you will be forced to give me..."
Yue feared the worst. What could Koh possibly want? She gulped slightly at what he said in his last sentence.
"You know, your face is so pretty...such ethereal skin and those eyes...I love those eyes,"
"You don't mean..."
Koh nodded deviously.
"Yes, my dear Yue. I will take your face."
