K.M:
Hey guys, back to the Return!
So I guess the first chapter seemed...rushed, I'll fix it up when I have time, but for now here's chap two!
I don't own A:TLA, Zyon belongs to 'the core of justice'.
He was cute.
Almost innocently so.
He was also mature...
He had instantly stopped the quarrel between her and Sokka when they had been bickering about the lack of food again.
Then he went out, and brought back a wild Fox-Squirrel.
Then he went out again when Aang told him he didn't eat meat, and brought back some fruits, and berries.
He was cute.
With wild tufts of black hair that looked like little pillows, and bright cerulean sapphire eyes that glittered in the sun...
And now she sounded like a love-struck creep...
She couldn't help it.
There were no boys in the Southern Water Tribe, and the only boys she had met had been Jet, who was a total jerk in the end, and the boys in the Northern Water Tribe, and that had certainly not had been the time to go looking for boys...
Well there was also Aang...
But did he really count? He was a little kid for sure.
But Zyon?
...Could she really call him cute? Maybe handsome...or gorgeous with those muscles...
Aaaaand she was being a love-struck creep again...
Katara sighed, her eyes trailing to the young man that was helping Sokka put the bags in Appa's saddle, Sokka had been nervous at first, but when Aang had left to get some last minute food, and her packing up camp, it was up to him to put everything in the saddle...
It was easier with two people...unless you were Aang and could just fly up.
Zyon being the polite gentleman that he was instantly offered to help...
With everything.
First he wanted to help Aang get food, but Aang gave the argument that he made him get food yesterday.
Then he wanted to help Katara, and as much as she wanted him to...
Sokka wouldn't let him anywhere near his sister. So Sokka had to either pack everything himself or take help from a stranger.
He obviously chose the second one.
Katara looked away from Zyon when he started climbing his dragon, they were ready to go, now they just needed to wait for Aang, when she had seen the baby dragon she had been shocked of course, dragons were creatures assumed to have gone extinct...
But here was one now.
What really confused her was how strange they looked.
They had short and bulky bodies, nothing like the long slithery snakes that were depicted in scrolls. They had armor of scales instead of the silky thin scale for skin that they had. There were no whiskers or fluffy hair anywhere. It was all scales and spikes.
Seeing that large terrifying creature stand next to a wide eyed innocent Zyon?
It was amazing how he could control the large creature...
Almost how Aang controlled Appa...
But not exactly considering Appa was sort of like a friend-pet.
It was amazing the way Zyon got Obsidian and the smaller dragon called Marria to do what he said.
Yes, the little dragonette was called Marria.
She didn't see that coming.
Nor did she see the Zyon is actually an Air-bender coming...
Zyon looked at the kids in Appa's saddle from where Obsidian was flying, a little higher above Appa, he knew dragons were extinct because everyone kept saying it, so he'd have to make Obsidian and Marria hide in the forest until they left the outpost.
Sokka said he had to unless he wanted to lose his dragons.
He wouldn't be able to bear it if he lost them.
He didn't know why, but he knew they were connected.
"You think too much."
He didn't jolt in surprise at the sudden voice in his head like he thought he would.
"You truly think so my friend? I only wish to remember why I feel so comfortable with you when my friends don't seem to be." he thought back to the large dragon, smiling to himself softly as the wind ruffled his hair, his bandana keeping it in place from flying in his face.
"What your friends think of me is of no concern to me or yourself, erase such pathetic thoughts Zyon."
Zyon smiled to the dragon who huffed in disgust at the humans who were riding on the large flying bison.
Who was nothing compared to Obsidian's sheer size.
"My friend I find that I do indeed care for not only their thoughts of me, but also their beings, they are good people my friend, I ask you not be so harsh with them..." Zyon thought softly, hoping to soothe the large dragon of his temper.
"I do not care for other humans but you Zyon. Remember that."
"That may be true, but you admit that you care for me, so you must also care for my feelings, and my feelings tell me to protect these children." Zyon countered jumping off of Obsidian's back and onto Appa's saddle, the three already there jumped in surprise, and watched as Obsidian flew away with the younger dragon who chirped a sad goodbye.
"What was that about?" Katara asked.
"I do not wish to place my dragons in danger, I've asked them to stay in the forest." Zyon told her as he smiled.
"Did you all eat breakfast?" He suddenly asked as he frowned, Katara, and Aang, who was flying Appa, smiled at him.
"Yes Zyon." they said in sync. Zyon nodded happily. Sokka grumbled.
Then started the questions that they didn't get to ask last night.
"So why were those dragons there? I thought they were extinct." Katara asked first.
"I do not remember dragons being extinct, but I do know that I have known Obsidian for many years, I feel we are very close."
The others would have continued to ask questions if Sokka hadn't suddenly stood up.
"There it is!" Sokka yelled, everyone looked over the side of Appa's saddle to see, Aang smiled and made Appa land on the grey cobblestone that made up the floor of the Omashu kingdom outpost.
They all got off the saddle and a man with a long beard, hair in a wide golden clasp, and brown and green armor come to them, smiling generously at them, Zyon noticed him, but the others didn't really seem to care, or notice, "Welcome Avatar Aang!" he said as he smiled at Aang specifically. Sokka stretched boredly, Aang rubbed his bum, and Katara helped Zyon unload, everyone then suddenly turns to the man at his word, having not noticed him, Zyon blinked at them in annoyance, they were children, thus easily distracted, so he'd forgive them for that, but they needed to be more observant of their surroundings.
Someone could attack them from behind.
There were a group of soldiers behind the man who greeted them, he bowed lowly along with his soldiers and then stretched his arms wide with a smile, "I am General Fong, and welcome, to all of you, great heroes! Appa, Momo, brave Sokka, the mighty Katara." Zyon narrowed his eyes at the loud, happy, exuberance this man seemed to ooze.
His voice was oily... like honey.
And one can catch flies better with honey than with vinegar...
He heard that phrase somewhere...
It was important though, that this man with friendly smiles, and open arms...wasn't all he was cracked up to be.
"'Mighty Katara'? I like that." Katara mused with a wide smile, seeming to like the atmosphere, unlike Zyon who felt more uncomfortable the closer the three kids got to this "General Fong"... Nonetheless Zyon continued to lower things from Appa's saddle, even though Katara had not bothered catching them anymore.
Loud bangs shot behind him, and Zyon flinched, looking back to find strange flashing lights sparking across the sky, Zyon couldn't help but be mesmerized, despite the noise. He paid no heed to the large cannon balls of stone as it flew in an arc above them. "Not bad, not bad..." Sokka said unimpressed, a small smile of amusement.
Suddenly General Fong's eyes landed on him, his smile growing.
"And who is this young man?" Zyon's fist clenched, a part of him wanted to politely introduce himself, the other was telling him there was something seriously wrong with the way the man looked at him so calculatingly...
"Oh this is our new friend Zyon, he has amnesia and is staying with us for a while..." Katara said hastily, almost wanting to hide him from his bright red clothing.
The man nodded, instead of giving the glare of hate at the red color of his clothing he smiled warmly.
Zyon frowned, he knew something was wrong with this man. "Any friend of the avatar is a friend of ours." the mans said as he pulled them inside.
Zyon got off of Appa, having brought down all the supplies, servants garbed in earth colors took the bags and disappeared, Zyon followed the others, mostly ignored by General Fong.
The group walked down a walkway that led to a large room, a banner with green circle and a brown square inside, Zyon knelt down on the mat with the other three, General Fong sat at the desk facing them.
"Avatar Aang, we were all amazed at the stories of how you single-handedly wiped out an entire Fire Navy fleet at the North Pole." he stroked his long beard so funnily that Zyon almost laughed, he managed to hide his smile though, "I can't imagine what it feels like to wield such devastating power. It's an awesome responsibility." he said as he stopped stroking his beard, much to Zyon's relief.
"I try not to think about it too much." Aang said humbly, Zyon smiled at him, a small part of him was proud of Aang's polite manners.
If only Sokka was more like that. Zyon looked at Sokka smiling, despite the boy's rude upfront, that's all it really was.
An upfront.
Zyon didn't blame them for it, they had told him about the 100 year war, and losing their mother, he couldn't say he knew what it was like considering he couldn't remember anything...
But it must've been hard.
"Avatar... you're ready to face the Fire Lord now." General Fong says.
Aang smiles but then stares at Gong in disbelief, "What?! No I'm not!" he shouts.
Katara then speaks up "Aang still needs to master all four elements." her voice calms Aang who eases back down to the mat.
"Why?" General Fong stands from his desk, looking angry, Zyon tensed, wondering if the man would attack, "With the kind of power he possesses—power enough to destroy hundreds of battleships in a matter of minutes—he could defeat the Fire Lord now!" Sokka raised his hand almost shyly, not wanting to draw the man's anger on him.
"But, sir, the thing is Aang can only do those things when he's in the Avatar state." Sokka admitted, looking like he didn't know what to do.
Aang started to explain, Zyon listened raptly, wanting to know what this 'Avatar state' was "See, it's this special state where—" General Fong cut him off.
"I'm well aware." He cut off harshly, Zyon clenched his fists, not liking the way he spoke to the young boy.
"Our eyes and tattoos glow and you're able to summon unbelievable power." General Fong walked around the desk to a map, "Without you we'd be slaughtered before we even reach their shores. But with you leading the way as the ultimate weapon, we could cut a swath right through to the heart of the Fire Nation." He pointed out the route on the map to a place across the ocean a large area in red.
"Right... but I'm don't know how to get in or out of the Avatar state, much less what to do once I'm there." Aang said hesitantly.
So Aang had some power called the Avatar state, which he didn't know how to control, but could wreak havoc across an army...
Zyon looked at the bald boy from the corner of his eye.
He didn't look threatening, he couldn't imagine the thought of Aang hurting someone.
"So it's decided then. I'll help you figure out how to get into the Avatar state, and then you'll face your destiny." General Fong says with a tone of finality.
The three stood in anger Zyon followed at a slower pace, judging by their faces that was a bad thing.
Katara looking the most bothered.
"No, nothing's decided. We already have a plan. Aang's pursuing his destiny his way."
Zyon saw a hint of frustration in his face, and something else... "Well, while you take your time learning the elements, the war goes on. May I show you something?" he pushed Aang to follow him leading us to a window showing two orange roofed buildings, people stood outside it.
"That's the infirmary, and those soldiers are the lucky ones." Zyon's eyes widened, seeing all the injured men, wounded, some crippled for life, his hands clenched and he looked away.
"Every day the Fire Nation takes lives. People are dying, Aang! You could end it, now! Think about it."
Aang gripped his hand before marching into the room.
"General Fong?" He asks hesitantly.
The man looks up from the map and smiles warmly at Aang. "Come in, Aang. Have you thought about our discussion?"
Clearly the boy had by his thoughtful look.
Aang looked down uncertainly, wondering deep down if he was doing the right thing, his mind flashing back to the wounded men "I'm in." he looked up at General Fong, "I'll fight the Fire Lord."
Katara was lying in bed quietly, playing with Momo on her lap, Sokka was lounging with his hands behind his head, Zyon had found some string and had started to boredly weave it together into a bracelet, looking a little tense, the room had been quiet since they talked to the General. Aang walked back into the room hesitantly, now he had to break the news to his friends, Katara sat up to look at him as he sat on his bed.
"I told the general I'd help him... by going into the Avatar state." He admitted softly, probably hoping he wouldn't be heard.
"Aang, no. This is not the right way." Katara said, looking defeated.
Zyon looked up and between the two, he was actually siding with Katara, if getting all the elements was what he was supposed to do then he shouldn't take shortcuts, he would have spoken up but he felt that that would make Sokka mad and probably shout about him trying to defend his nation.
"Why not? Remember when he took out the Fire Navy? He was incredible." Sokka spoke up, not looking all that bothered.
Katara barely spared him a glance, "There's a right way to do this. Practice, study, and discipline."
"Or just glow it up and stop that Fire Lord." Sokka drawled.
Katara stood angrily, causing Zyon to tense, wondering if the siblings would fight again.
"If you two meatheads want to throw away everything we've worked for, fine. Go ahead and glow it up!" She shouted at them, walking towards the door, Zyon winced at the tense atmosphere the girl created, standing as well to calm her down, Aang tried to get to her, looking sad, and slightly ashamed.
"Katara, I'm just being realistic. I don't have time to do this the right way." he begged her to understand but she just left the room. Zyon stood, frowning slightly and followed Katara, when he had caught up to her he looked at her slightly, she looked sad.
"Katara?" She jumped having not noticed him and forced a smile on her face.
"Oh Zyon, I didn't see you there, you sure are light on your feet." she said in a fake chirpy tone. Zyon frowned, knowing she was faking it kind of hurt his feelings...
"Katara...You know I'm with you on this one...I know I'm still new to the group and all, and I don't remember all that much, but...I don't think it's right to just take advantage of this power...I feel it's wrong..." Zyon admitted, placing his hand on her shoulder, Katara's eyes widened and she blushed.
"Thank you Zyon, I don't mind having you tell me your thoughts, truth is I appreciate it, so thank you." Zyon smiled, feeling he had done the right thing.
Suddenly a different face flashed where Katara was, another girl, but with bright brown eyes and hair the color of fire, tears in her eyes, but a wide genuine smile on her face...
The face flashed back to Katara.
He smiled at her, "You remind me of someone." Katara frowned, but gave a small smile.
"Really? Who?"
"Katara, I assure you, if I knew I would have certainly told you by now."
She deadpanned.
The tests were silly, magical chi tea that made Aang get high and basically go crazy, placing Momo on Sokka's head to shock Aang, dressing him up in funny clothes and then throwing burnt, cooled, water, and dirt (basically mud) at him, which Aang had sneezed at him, thankfully Zyon had stayed a bit farther away from the group and had missed the snot and mud thrown at them.
That evening they had all gone back to the room, Katara, and Zyon hanging back with Aang.
"Can we talk about something?" She started, looking at Zyon for help, he gave her a smile and nodded, she turned back to Aang who was looking confused.
"Sure." Aang said as he looked at the two.
"Do you remember when we were at the air temple and you found Monk Gyatso's skeleton? It must have been so horrible and traumatic for you. I saw you get so upset that you weren't even you anymore. I'm not saying the Avatar state doesn't have incredible—and helpful power. But you have to understand, for the people who love you, watching you be in that much rage and pain is really scary." Truthfully Zyon had no idea what she was talking about, but he admitted he didn't want to really see Aang in this "Avatar state" if it was so terrifying, so he agreed with her on this.
"I'm really glad you told me that. But I still need to do this." Aang admitted, Zyon frowned.
"That's not true." Zyon whispered, Aang gave him a small look, smiling at him bitterly before looking down again.
"I don't understand." Katara said after the silence.
"No, you don't. Every day more and more people die. I'm already a hundred years late. Defeating the Fire Lord is the only way to stop this war. I have to try it." Aang said, looking more determined, despite the two trying to convince him otherwise.
"We can't watch you do this to yourself. We're not coming tomorrow. Come on Zyon." she grabbed Zyon's arm and he looked at her sadly, turning to Aang, who was looking at the two with a heart broken expression, her and the boy seemed so close, he was so sure she could convince him to stop this, "Goodnight." She muttered, dragging Zyon away, who reluctantly followed.
"Zyon thank you for that, I don't think I would have had the courage to tell him that without you." Zyon smiled bitterly.
"What are friends for Katara?" She smiled as the two settled into their designated beds.
"Goodnight Zyon."
"Goodnight Katara, sweet dreams. Goodnight Sokka." Zyon called out as he turned in his bed and snuggled deep into the blankets.
"...Night Zyon..." Sokka returned reluctantly.
Zyon was woken up by the sound Aang gasping awake.
"Sokka. Zyon, wake up." The two turned around to look at him, groggily Sokka looked at him.
"Wha...?" Sokka mumbled tiredly.
"I don't think we should be trying to bring on the Avatar state." Aang admits to the two boys tiredly, Zyon smiled, so Katara had gotten through to him.
"You sure?" Sokka asked.
"Yeah buddy, this is pretty serious." Zyon said as he sat up as well.
"Yes. I'm sure." Aang said to the two, Sokka briefly shot Zyon a nasty glare, before turning back to Aang.
He shrugged and said "Okay."
"Do you think the general will be mad?" Aang whispered softly, Zyon tensed slightly, but loosened before anyone could see.
"There's nothing you should worry about Aang, what's a general compared to the avatar." Zyon said, smiling reassuringly.
"Yeah. What can he say? You're the Avatar. Who knows better than you?" Sokka rolls over to go back to sleep, Aang lies back down again, but Zyon stayed up, feeling dread fill him.
While Aang had been having nightmares he had had weird dreams, of people he knew he was sure, and places he's seen he was certain, but every time he tried to remember the dream escaped him, he sighed and laid back down, reaching under his pillow and pulling out the half down bracelet, getting back to his weaving.
He knew he wouldn't be getting any more sleep.
"The thing is, I don't think we'll ever be able to trigger it on purpose. So, I guess that's it."
The young boy didn't know of the danger of the man's mind.
"Sure I can't change your mind?"
He didn't know the danger of his next words.
"I'm sure. I can only reach the Avatar state when I'm in genuine danger."
Nor what they would cost him.
"I see. I was afraid you'd say that."
Who it would cost him. Watch your words next time.
Katara was playing with Momo quietly, sometimes watching Zyon in his weaving.
"When did you learn to do that?" She asked as she looked up, the bracelet was a beautiful gold, orange, and red. Like a sunset.
"I don't remember, but I guess I used to do it a lot because this seems more like muscle memory than anything, someone once told me it helped with making your fingers more dexterous, and flexible, good for knife throwers, or card players I believe." Katara raised an eyebrow, smiling to herself at his concentrated stare, she didn't really believe the young man to be fire nation, he couldn't be because he was an Air-bender, so while he wore red robes he had ocean blue eyes, as such it was impossible to be completely fire nation without being part Water tribe.
His eyes though.
They were the most amazing eyes she had ever seen, instead of the narrowed slit eyes everyone had, his were a round, and more almond shaped.
She had never seen eyes like that.
She was brought out of her thoughts by the building shaking, Zyon's fingers froze from their twisting and turning, still, silent.
Katara didn't notice.
"I wonder what crazy thing they're trying now." She looked down at Momo, "Maybe we should just make sure Aang's okay."
"Let's." Zyon agreed as he stood, shoving the almost done bracelet in his pocket.
The two, plus Momo, ran down the stairs, meeting Sokka at the bottom.
"What's going on?" Katara asked him worriedly.
"The general's gone crazy. He's trying to force Aang into the Avatar state!" Sokka said hastily, looking out.
Zyon tensed, his eyes narrowing, the two didn't notice the glow of red in his eyes.
Sokka throws his boomerang at a man, knocking him out before he could attack Aang with a disk, Katara swipes her water across a man pursuing Aang with a spear, breaking it, Zyon didn't have weapons on him, the only thing he had was air-bending, so he did the only thing he could do.
He let loose.
Blowing soldiers away wildly, and using the most erratic, and unpredictable way of fighting the other three had ever seen, all the moves connected fluidly, but some were smooth, some jerky, some just made no sense, he'd taunt a soldier than smack someone on the head, look like he was about to punch someone but then change his mind and kick them in the gut.
It was confusing.
It was messed up.
It was working.
It was awesome.
Sokka was almost about to ask him what he was doing but changed his mind to get to the battle at hand.
Katara was shocked, she almost found it impossible how he managed to pull off such an insane way of fighting, it was like he was thinking up the moves on the spot!
Suddenly Zyon landed next to her and smiled. "Looks like my hunch about this 'General Fong' was correct." He chirped happily, Katara stared at him with a raised eye-brow.
"How are you doing that?" He shrugged.
About to answer, until suddenly the soldiers raised a wall, Zyon and Katara tensed and went back to their fighting stances, Katara threw water at Fong bit he avoided it by raising a patch of dirt that fell at their feet. Katara spun but then they found themselves sinking into the ground. Zyon's, and Katara's feet were stuck.
Zyon's eyes widened as he looked at Katara who started to panic twisting to get out. "Aaahhh! I can't move!" He grabbed Katara's hand to calm her.
"Calm down, we'll get out." He muttered trying to find something to pull them out.
There was nothing.
"Zyon we're sinking!" Katara wails as she realized he was as helpless as she was, Zyon soothed her.
"No, no, calm down Katara, you'll make it worse." He tried to soothe.
They were up to their waist.
"Katara! No!" Zyon looked up to see Sokka try to get to them, only for the ostrich-horse he was on to sink into the ground, making him fall off, his face was panicked as he saw his sister sink.
"Stop this! You have to let her go." despite the fact that two of his friends were stuck in the sinking mud he wanted to save Katara a whole lot more than he wanted to save Zyon, he would probably be ashamed of his thoughts later, but the fact that the girl that was his best friend was sinking to her death was terrifying him to the point that he was going insane.
"You could save her if you were in the Avatar state." General Fong said darkly.
"I'm trying... I'm trying!" Aang cries as he inwardly begs for all of it to stop.
"Aang, we're sinking!" Katara cries.
"I don't see glowing." Fong says, his tone mocking, forcing the two to sink deeper.
"Aaahhh! Please!"
"Katara shh, he'll get us out, please calm down." He begged, Katara tearfully turned to him, her eyes filled with tears.
"That's it honey just calm down, it's okay."
"You don't need to do this!" Aang begs.
"Apparently I do."
Zyon cussed in his mind, wishing to at the very least get Katara out.
And he would.
"Obsidian, get her out!"
Out of nowhere the large black dragon swooped down and dragged her out, but Zyon was gone, knowing Obsidian would be too late by the time he flew back.
He had been buried.
Aang just missing his hand.
Aang's eyes turned wide and white, his arrows glowing, wind billowing.
"It worked. It worked!" General Fong sang.
"Avatar Aang, can you hear me?! Your friends are safe!" He pushed the ground and Zyon came out for the mud, weakly gasping for air.
"It was just a trick to trigger the Avatar state, AND IT WORKED!" General Fong was bowled away by a gust of wind, and ignored by Aang.
He glowed in the air for a while before floating back down. The glow disappeared and the boy looked around, Zyon was gasping, and Katara was helping him up, Sokka put his arm over his shoulder and helped them get to Aang. They went to Aang and they all embraced him. Zyon gasping slightly for breath at the tight hug they all shared.
"I'm sorry, Katara. I hope you never have to see me like that again." Zyon truthfully now felt a little left out, he knew he'd only been with them for four days, but it still hurt how Aang seemed to have forgotten him, even though technically they were related.
"Hah! Are you joking? That was almost perfect! We just have to find a way to control you when you're like that." General Fong walked to them, a crazed smile on his face.
Aang opened his mouth, but Zyon instantly cut him off, "You're out of your mind. There's no way we'll do this anymore."
"I guess we'll figure that out on the way to the Fire Nation." he completely ignored Zyon.
Sokka rode up behind the insane man and smacked him on the head with his boomerang, "Anybody got a problem with that?" He asked the other soldiers, who all shook their heads. Sokka gets off as a soldier walks up to him.
"Do you still want an escort to Omashu?"
"I think we're all set." Katara said darkly as she put her arm around Zyon who was still breathing slightly erratically.
Momo jumped on Aang and together they all jumped on Appa.
"Sorry Obsidian, something's wrong with my breathing...Fly with Marria, I'll fly with you two when I'm better." Zyon thought to Obsidian who was starring at him
"I knew caring for these other humans was a waste of time, being with these people has caused you to be injured, let us leave them." Obsidian growled.
"As right as you are I just can't. Something tells me to stay with them." Zyon tiredly thought back.
"You're suicidal Zyon." Obsidian said tiredly.
"Sorry for the trouble my friend."
"Are you okay Zyon?" Aang asked softly, his eyes filled with tears, Sokka was riding Appa.
Zyon turned and smiled, happy to not be ignored by the boy anymore.
"I am alright, I simply need to catch my breath."
"Thank you for saving me Zyon...I don't know what would have happened if you hadn't helped me."
"As I have said before. What are friends for?"
Zyon stared out into the large Planetarium, the five elders standing up on their high chairs, staring down at the six kids looking up at them.
Zyon slightly turned a girl turned her head and grinned slightly at him, red hair tumbling down into a tight ponytail, her eyes sparkling in excitement, he smiled back, turning to his best friend, ***** was nervously petting his partner, who was a few inches taller than he was, ***** turned to him and smiled slightly, he knew there was a chance that he'd never see his friend again, and that fear was tearing him apart inside.
"This is it." Zyon whispered to him.
"That it is." ***** whispered back.
"You six have been chosen to travel to the Eastern world, learn of their world, and integrate into their society, they must not know of the western world. There will come a time were you and your partners will be needed, but for now, scatter, scatter to the unknown worlds and hide, hide until we deem it safe for you to return."
"Yes Elders!" The six children chanted in sync.
"Step forward Arthur." A boy with blonde hair and green eyes stepped forward with his partner, walking to a marking on the floor in the middle of the room.
"Ae res ta vi no la gru ene la ne aures." The old men chanted, raising their arms high, glowing, the place the boy stood glowed, he smiled at the other five smugly, and waved, disappearing in a glow of blue dust.
"Step forward Enrique." A boy with tan skin and shoulder-length wavy brown hair and brown eyes stepped forward with his partner, turning he gave a flirty smile to the girl with red hair winking at Zyon and *****.
"See you all on the flip side hermanos." Zyon waved with a grin, Enrique had always been a very charismatic boy.
"Ae res ta vi no la gru ene la ne aures." Enrique and his partner disappeared in orange dust.
Zyon was already missing the two.
"Step forward Eilis." the girl with red hair stepped up with her partner, she smiled softly to the others and nodded respectfully, giving a small wink to *****, who blushed profoundly.
"Ae res ta vi no la gru ene la ne aures." Eilis disappeared in purple dust.
Zyon knew it was his turn, he looked at ***** one last time, smiling bitter-sweetly, ***** smiled back, giving him a thumbs up, the two fist bumped.
"Step forward Zyon."
"Ae res ta vi no la gru ene la ne aures." And he disappeared in a cloud of red dust.
K.M:
That's it for chap 2, I am exhausted, this one took a while.
Anyway I hoped you liked it, it was hard because of Zyon's personality, he's a sweet guy, but he felt a little left out here, he feels a strong connection to Aang, but he cares about the others too, he hates fighting, but he can when he needs to, and very well might I add. It was a little hard because I couldn't decide whether to make Katara go in alone, or have him go in with her, eventually I obviously chose the second one.
Try to remember that this is a Ty Lee/OC, not Katara/OC, this is only one sided Katara/OC, clearly. He only sees her as a little sister. Of course Aang is always in the back of her mind though. XD
Sokka is of course wrong to think of Zyon as Fire nation because all facts point out that he is in fact not. And of course all Obsidian wants is to protect Zyon.
Anyway tell me how I did, PM me, or review, whatever!
