Chapter 11: Stone Coffin.
Kiara heard his voice but didn't stop just carried on walking until she reached a block of stone on the deck of the ship standing about 7ft tall covered in ancient symbols and picture diagrams.
"What is that?" Kiara asked Iroh as she stood in front of the block
"I don't have a clue as we fished it out of the ocean while you were unconscious" Iroh replied moving to stand next to Kiara in the meantime Zuko had recovered from what Kiara had told him and made his way up to the deck and over to where his uncle and Kiara were
"Uncle when will training resume?" Zuko asked turning to face his uncle
"As soon as we figure what this stone block is Zuko" Iroh answered facing his nephew, Kiara jumped a little when she turned around cause she didn't expect to see Zuko standing there
"Take Kiara to her room to rest" Zuko commanded a guard who led her to a room near Zuko's.
As the sun was setting Zuko was on deck watching the sun sink below the ocean when a figure appeared
"Hey look I'm sorry I didn't tell you who I was but I was scared and I find it hard to trust people" Kiara explained to Zuko who was staring at the horizon, slowly she turned to leave
"Wait don't go" Zuko called out Kiara turned to face him and smiled Wow that's the first time I've smiled in years Kiara thought. They stood in silence until
"So anything else I need to know?" Zuko questioned as he turned to face her
"No I don't think so" Kiara replied and walked towards the 7ft tall stone with Zuko following her
"Do you know what it is?" Zuko asked
"No I don't but I'm gonna find out" Kiara replied determined slowly she raised her right hand and placed it on the stone visions bombarded her, the stone glowed under her touch with a blue light suddenly Kiara was thrown back
"KIARA!!" Zuko yelled as her ran to where she lay
"Don't open it its pure evil" Kiara said before she passed out from the blow to her head, Zuko carried her to her room and laid her on her bed then went to bed him self only to be haunted by his past.
In the morning when Kiara and Zuko walked out on to the deck Iroh was readying the crew "What are you doing uncle?" Zuko asked
"I'm going to break the stone open" Iroh replied while a look of pure terror crossed Kiara's face "No you can't open the coffin" Kiara stated
"Why not?" Iroh questioned
"Because it holds pure evil inside I saw what that being has done when I touched the coffin I suggest you through it back to the sea it was put there for a reason it is not our place to inter fear" Kiara explained while looking at Iroh with her eyes cold and hard.
CRACK!! The stone broke and a bright light emitted from inside the coffin and a figure emerged from the light a teenage boy with short red hair, dark green eyes, pale skin well built about 6ft in height wearing black trousers, with a brown shirt and black boots once the light faded the coffin was gone.
