The Ocean Spirit

Chapter 26

Song Yin POV

I saw the blast from far away. I hate you Zhao. I said to myself. Zuko s whole ship is burning. Helmsmen's tower is already on the ocean. I am late. Zuko and Iroh are already dead. I start to cry while swimming towards the burning ship. Why La why? Why am I late to save them? I close my eyes. Fire is dancing in front of my eyes with the ashes of the people i love. Then Suddenly I heard a voice. I open my eyes and stare at the way it came from. I saw General Iroh standing on the bridge and screaming Zuko s name. I feel a bit relief after seeing Iroh. But suddenly, at the same time my heart is feel with terror. Oh my spirits. Why is he screaming Zukos name. is that mean he was on the ship when its blast. Oh Zuko. I look around. No sing of Zuko. He must be still inside the ship. My tears came back. Zuko is dead. Even I hate him. I don't want him to die like this.

"He is not dead yet" Suddenly I heard Las voice.

"LA" I said.

Is that true. Then where is he. He must be under water. I wide my eyes. He can't stay this long. He will die. I took another deep breath and put my head under the water. I can't see anything. But that doesn't mean I am going to stop looking for him. I dive as deep as the sea go. But still no sign of Zuko. Where is he?. Then suddenly I saw a small glow. It's like a small ball with a glowing surface. What is that? I swim to it and try to touch it. But my hand stop moving after realizing what it is. I saw this long time ago. This small white glowing ball is a soul. Soul of a dead person. Oh my God.

Zuko s POV

Where am I. am I under water. No I don't think so. I think I am flying. But how. I can't fly. I am a fire bender. Then why am I flying. I look down. I can see air benders every ware. What is going on? Where am. I look around. Even one of the fire benders are flying with them. How is this happening?

"Hey" I scream. But no one didn't heard me.

"HEYY "I scream again.

"Zuko is that you" I heard someone saying my name. I slowly turn my head. I know this voice. And I know this person. But who is he.

"What are you doing in here" he ask while holding my hand. "Are you dead" he ask again.

Am i. well I don't know. But who is this man. I know him. He is from the fire nation. But I don't know his name.

"You have to go back" he said

"Go where?"

"To the living"

"But I am living"

"No Zuko no you are not"

"Then how am I going to go back"

"Go with her" Fire nation man point his fingers behind me. I slowly turn my head. It's a huge glow. I can't see a girl. But suddenly a glowing hand touch me. It's so soft.

"Zuko," she said my name slowly. I stare at her. But I still can't see her Face. But there is something so shiny around her neck. I slowly touch it.

Song Yin POV

I grab Zuko just in time. He is sinking deep without a soul. "La now it is your time to show your powers," I thought as swimming to his soul. Suddenly His soul starts to glow and now it is moving back into his body. It means he is not going to die. I slowly hold him tightly and try to pull him and swim to the surface. But something stops me from swimming. I look down at him. He isn't moving. But his clothes are. Stupid fire nation rubes. I remove my hand from his body and let him be free. I swim around him and try to remove his rube. It is half burns. So easily came out. I put my arms around his white shirtless skin. If it is another time I might blush. But now it is not the time to think about stuff like that. I slowly start to swim to the surface. But then suddenly Zuko try to breathe underwater. His soul is back. He opens his eyes and tries to remove my hands from his body. But I didn't. He then holds my Spiritual neckless and tries to pull it to him. What is he doing?. Berth inside my body starts to leave me. I suddenly felt faint. I try to push Zuko s hands away from me. But he tightens the grip. Stupid Zuko. He suddenly removes my amulet from my neck. Oh my god. I slowly hold his both arms and try to stop his movements. But he lost his breath and hit me on my head. Why is he so annoying. Even under the water.

Last breath in my mouth went out as bubbles. I start to panic. Now, what am I going to do? my eyes start to blur. This never happens to me. Why is this? I look at Zuko. He is sinking again. But this time he is not moving anymore. I saw his soul is trying to get out his body again. But at the moment I am week. My breath is gone. I am going to die. So this is how it is going to end. Me and Zuko dying together under water. I close my blur eyes. Aang s face came to my mind. Kuson s Face came to my mind. I am dying.

"Don't be dramatic, you are the Ocean Spirit use you powers" suddenly I heard a voice. Is that La. yes he is right. I close my eyes. Ocean. The only thing connect me to the earth. Give me your power. Suddenly I feel better. I open my eyes. My whole body start to glow. My powers are back. I Look down at Zuko. He is dying. I swim to him.

…...

"Zuko" I scream his name and try to pull out the water inside his body. General Iroh sat next to me with a worried face and try to wake Zuko. But he didn't move yet. He can't die. I saw his soul is going back inside his body. That means he is alive. Then why isn't he waking up.

"Song is he dead" General Iroh ask while hiding his tears. "Please save my son I beg you," General Iroh said again.

"Wake up you jerk can't you see your uncle is worrying about you," I said and bend out the last salt water drop from his body. But he haven't move or breathe yet.

"ZUKO" I scream to his ear.

Zuko s POV

"Open your eyes boy" I heard my uncle's voice.

I did as he ask .I slowly open my eyes. My whole body start hurt. But as a surprise I think I can handle it. I slowly look around. Where am I?

"How do you feel Zuko" uncle ask and help me to move my body a bit. I didn't say a word. I don't know how I feel at all. What happen to me? The only thing I remember is my ship start blow and I fell to the sea.

"Zuko can you hear me" Uncle ask again. I shake my head. "Who did this to you"

I start to think. How did this happen. Then suddenly it came to my mind. The Pirates. Yes I saw there stupid bird from the window before everything blast.

"I am really going to kill whoever did this to you," uncle said. And put a cloth one my head.

"I thought you are going to die," he said again.

"Die" that word start to hurt my mind. Yes why am I still alive. It's a huge blast. Who save me? Did uncle save me? I look at him. He isn't wet. Maybe he warm his cloths after saving me. Yes. My uncle save me. I slowly smile with him. Uncle Iroh smile back. I know he love me so much. I know he never let me die. I happily close my eyes. But something bothers me. something is in my hand. what is it? I open my eyes again. Something is definitely in my hand. I slowly massage it to know whatever it is. It's a neckless. But how did I get it. I slowly move my hand up so I can see the neckless. It's a deep blue diamond. How did I get this? I look back at uncle. He stare at it to. But didn't say a word.

Iroh s POV

Zuko finally show me the neckless he was holding in his hand all the time. I can see thousands of questions in his face.

"General Iroh promise me," Song said holding my hand tightly.

"I can't. You save his life. Why do you want to hide it" I said and hold Songs hands back.

"It's not personal. But please don't tell him the truth." She said again.

"Uncle" Zuko slowly call my name. I came out from my thinking world and look at him.

"Who's neckless is this," he ask. How am I going to hide the truth now?

Song Yin POV

I slowly swim to the shore. Ayami and Boyo is still there.

"Is he save" Ayami ask while helping me to climb to the bridge.

"Yes," that's all I said. I don't know why I want to hide the truth from Zuko. But at the moment I don't want anyone to know about this. Specially Zuko.

Zuko s POV

"So you swim into the deep and save me," I ask from uncle while drinking tea.

"Yes," he said. He is hiding something.

"Then who's neckless is this?" I ask again.

"I don't know Zuko. You were holding it when you come up. I think it belongs to someone who came to have a bath and lost her neckless. Now drink this tea."

He is hiding something. But what. I ll find out someday. Until that, this neckless is going to be mine. I thought while looking at the deep blue glow in it.

Sorry guys short chap.
