Three Second Sunrise

All the World's History

Flames engulfed the scrolls. The fire devoured thousands of years of history. Wan Shi Tong stared at the destruction, knowing that any action he might take to prevent this would only encourage the fire to spread.

It was bad enough knowing that the human would use the knowledge he stole to destroy an entire culture. A cold fury overtook the spirit as the flames finally started to die.

It decided. No human shall ever abuse the library again.


Three Second Sunrise

A Second too Late

Koh glared toward the exit of the cave, watching the young Avatar leave. Someone must have told that child that the famous face-stealer could not steal an expressionless face.

Koh had to admit to itself that the child was very good at maintaining a blank countenance. Despite the spirit's efforts to scare an expression out of the Avatar, he only slipped once. Koh could hear it.

It must have been the spirit's luck that he was facing away from the child that one time. It turned to face the Avatar as quickly as it could.

It was a second too late.

The child's expression was gone when his face was once again in sight. Koh examined the Avatar closely, hoping for even the smallest flicker of emotion. There was none.

Koh switched faces angrily. It had been so close to getting a new face for its collection.

It was just a second too late.
