AVATAR Book 3.1 (Chapter 1:The Tru Fire Lords)
The next book of Book 2.1 (Relighting a Torch)-------- What if Azula and Zuko weren't the rightful heirs to Fire Nation? Will Aang ever come out of Mauvais Chi state? All answers will be revealed Next on Avatar Book 3.1 (Chapter 1: The Tru Fire Lords)
"Avatar Roku? Avatar Roku? What has happened to me? Where am I? Reveal yourself!" Aang called out amongst the sea of desert ground. "I haven't heard or seen anybody, so I must be in Avatar state." Suddenly Aang heard a voice gently pass him swiftly.
"Whose there?" Aang quickly asked but again the voice whispered in his ear quickly. Aang knew the only way to catch something quick was too focus and slow himself. So he sat down and rested, as he focused the objects around him slowed. It was then he found in front of him Momo.
"Momo, it was you…finally somebody."
"Ah yes, but the question really is why am I the only somebody here, old chap?" Momo said in a clear English accent.
"You spoke."
"Yes, well that is good and all but it's more important that we answer my question."
"Well maybe it's because you have been the only person I trusted."
"Really? I thought Sokka or even young Toph, or Katara." As he said this, Aang looked down in sadness. "So that is your problem?"
'She isn't my problem, not anymore, not ever." Aang replied he then stood up and began to walk against the motionless objects floating against his alter reality.
"Toph, how is he?" Sokka said entering the fire lit tepee.
"Still gone." She replied.
"Well the people are now asleep but there are four guards posted at all ends, no fire nation could get through.'
"Good." Toph said checking Aang's wound on his lower abdomen. As Sokka came close it was only a second before she pulled away.
"I assure you Toph, I will find him and make him pay." Sokka reassured.
"And Katara?" Toph added but silence over took the atmosphere. "It looks like before you spend your time reassuring possibilities, you might realize that Katara was on the other side as well."
"You don't know that, Katara would of died before ever hurting Aang like this, you heard King Keko, mauvais chi is dangerous."
"But preventable, right Sokka? Oh yea, you don't because you let it happen." She replied, as Sokka turned to leave in anger, he stopped midway.
"One day your blaming Katara will get old and you'll wish that you hadn't. People mess up, you've messed up...I believe it was something about almost getting us killed by running away from your parents." Sokka then stormed out the tepee, as Toph looked down, he was right but she could not let go of the betrayal.
"How can you stand, Nephew to look yourself in the mirror? You had said it was all in the name of love."
"It was, Uncle. My Father's, once I am King I can rule my tribe."
"And Katara?"
"She will rule with me, I mean she hasn't went back…and her friends probably blame her for the death of the Avatar. After practice and time with Azula, she will be prepared to become the queen of the Fire Nation."
"Yes, but do you actually think that your Father will approve of her?"
"He will have to."
"He's only using you." Azula called out from a water cell as Katara concentrated. "I figured his plan along time ago, that's why I came to those Gardens and set you up."
"Really? Because you were the one who stuck the dagger of Xiomara in Aang."
"That dagger was meant for another, besides your hand was on it as well."
"After you placed my hand on it."
"Look, I might have caused you to slay the Avatar but you had already destroyed him. His love, as disgusting as it was, was for you but your ridiculous notion that my Brother adores you and that you can change him lead to Aang's demise."
"Shut up."
"No, mauvais chi, a simple state human's go through triggered by emotion. Maybe it was the sight of you kissing Zuko or Zuko's passionate words."
"What are you talking about? It was only him and I in those woods."
"He would like you to believe that."
"I don't-"
"Yes, you do and I'm here to prove it." A voice said from behind them, as the two looked back Mai stood holding a scroll…
"Aang, do you actually think that Avatar Roku would place me here?" Momo said.
"Yes, if he chooses."
"But I am not a spirit guide, I am an illusion of your inner self. You chose me because this state is not that of the Avatar."
"Yes, it is."
"Oh really."
"Yes."
"So walking in a desert, with a talking leper is Avatar state?"
"Yes."
"So what is the purpose? And why hasn't another Avatar revealed their self?"
"I am to find the purpose and then they will reveal themselves."
"Oh really, I find it hard to trust a man with a dagger in his stomach."
Immediately Aang looked down. He quickly pulled the dagger out. Aang awoke in a Tepee wrapped in blankets.
"He's awoke!" a small voice yelled. As Aang lifted up, he checked his side to find the scar bandaged, he then examined the small area. There was fire burning in the middle and he was wrapped in blankets. Immediately an older gentleman entered, he had a full beard and long hair.
"It's good to see you my friend." The gentleman spoke.
"Friend?"
"Aang, it's me, Sokka!"
"But?"
"You have been away for a very long time, but now you can save us, you can save the world as it was meant to be."
"What do you mean? I don't remember." Aang looked confused.
"All in time, Aang, all in time." Sokka continued.
Sokka was still angry that Toph, the girl he liked was angry with his sister whom he had loyalities, he also couldn't understand how Katara could stay away, she just up and left.
"Mother? I don't understand; I can't get why she did it? Katara has lived for bending and providing help, you and Father have taught us."
"Nothing." Fire Ozai added, immediately Sokka got positioned to fight.
"Look, I have not come here to fight you, nor take over your pathetic attempt to overthrow me. I have been watching you, watching your leadership, I have come to offer you a bigger leadership, and one that will help you fulfill your destiny to kill my son."
"What?"
NEXT TIME:
What is on the scroll that will change the outcome? Is the identity of the Tru Fire Lords? Will Aang remember in time to help? Has Sokka decided to go to the evil side with Katara? Next time on Book 3.1 (Chapter 2: THE TRU FIRE LORDS)
