Koh, Tui and La

(Chapter Ten)

The dawn came swiftly for the Northern Water Tribe, and with it came the Fire Nation siege. Everyone was busy preparing for the attack, when Aang overheard the king talking about the ocean and moon spirits protecting them. Aang decided to go into the spirit world and ask the moon and ocean spirits for help. Yue takes the group to a sacred oasis where two koi fish swim round one another one white the other black. Aang gets into lotus position and stares at the fish swimming, soon he finds himself in the spirit world. While there he sees a meditating monkey, who is rather rude, and a glowing ball. Aang meets up with Roku who tells Aang about the ocean and moon spirits, and that he should go visit Koh, for he alone is old enough to know the ocean and moon spirits. Aang is warned about Koh, that when meeting him you must not show any emotion at all, because Koh is known as the Face Stealer.

Aang arrives at the cave where Koh is and goes in, Aang learns that the ocean and moon spirits crossed over to the mortal world a while ago. Koh tells Aang that the spirits took mortal form and that he knows who they are. Aang learns that there names are Tui and La, Push and Pull, and that they are the koi fish in the oasis. Aang leaves and Hei Be comes to take Aang back to his body. Meanwhile, the group is busy fighting the Fire Nation that has invaded, Aang's body is moved to protect him from Admiral Zhao, who has invaded the oasis. Zhao picks up the white fish in a bag and hold it up prepared to strike. "Put the fish down Zhao" Anara growls. "Zhao, what ever you do to that spirit I will unleash upon you tenfold" Iroh yells getting into fighting stance, Zhao smiles and places the fish back into the pond. A heartbeat later Zhao lets loose a fire attack killing the moon spirit, when that happens the moon vanishes form the sky and the Waterbender's loose there power. Iroh begins attacking Zhao. "Protect Aang Katara, I have a score to settle" Anara says with a malicious edge to her normally gentile voice.

Anara and Zuko arrive as Iroh is keeping Zhao on the defensive, they decide to join in the fray and help Iroh. "Your supposed to be dead" Zhao says startled to see Zuko. "You tried to have me killed" Zuko yells and begins to attack Zhao. Anara, letting her anger loose this time, begins to glow dark silver as her powers reflect the anger she holds. "Mate, let me have him, he will pay for harming you" Anara says sounding very feral. Zuko turns and is shocked to find Anara glowing dark silver, making her appearance very feral looking. Zuko nods and steps out of the way. "I will make you a deal Zhao, I will give you Zuko and the Avatar if you can hit me, you get only one shot, if you succeed you get two prizes, if you loose I get your life" Anara grins evilly, while Zuko gasps and moves to stop her. 'Fear not mate he can not hit me, he is too slow 'the voice of Anara drifts on the wind to Zuko's ear, he nods and steps back.. "Do you accept my conditions Zhao?" Anara asks impatient Zhao nods and prepares to attack.

Anara clears her mind of all thoughts and readies herself. Zhao lets loose a large barrage of fore attacks all aimed directly at Anara, they converge and a large blast of smoke covers the area. Zhao smiles and walks towards Zuko thinking he has won, when the smoke clears Anara stands unharmed with the fire swirling around her in the shape of a dragon. "You loose" Anara says monotone and lets the dragon loose directly at Zhao growing very large by the time it reaches him. Zhao has no time to react he is engulfed in red flames and the last thing you hear is a shout scream before eerie silence. Anara regains control of her power as her anger disperses, and falls to her knees tired. As Zuko helps Anara up they catch a glimpse of Aang fused with the ocean spirit heading right for the armada in the ocean. As Aang is fighting Iroh and the rest of the group are gathered around the oasis trying to figure out what can be done for the moon spirit. Iroh notices that Yue has been touched by the moon spirit, Yue nods and tells of how she was born sick and the moos spirit transferred some of its life into her so that she could live. Yue makes the decision to give back what the spirit had given her, Sokka protests loudly but Yue does it anyways, the fish glows and is placed back in the pond as the moon returns to the sky. A moment later, the glowing ghostly form of Yue appears and tells Sokka that she is now the moon spirit and with a kiss to him she vanishes. The ocean spirit when it notices the moon back in the sky, heads back to the oasis. Zuko holds Anara in a gentile embrace "I Zuko, pledge myself to you and you alone Anara, my mind, body, heart and soul are yours for all time" Zuko whispers before kissing Anara soundly.
