The Ocean Spirit

Chapter 37

Zuko s Pov

I took a deep berth."Knok Konok" I knock uncle Iroh s door and stand aside. But he didn't reply. I knock again. But even after few seconds, still, there is no reply came. I feel so bad.

"Uncle, are you in there?" I ask. Still no reply. I exhale a huge berth.

"I know you are in there uncle. I am so sorry uncle for everything I said... But now I really have to go" I said slowly and keep staring at the door. But No sound came out. I know I hurt his feelings last night. What I said is pretty wrong. I didn't mean any of them. Ehhhh. Uncle Iroh stayed with me every time when my life became miserable. He all ways guide me and take care of me. He said I am like his own son. But last night, I yelled him so badly. I don't know why he said he don't trust my father. They are brothers. I am sure my father does care about uncle Iroh. Even I care a bit about Azula. Sometimes.

"Uncle is this is how you want to say goodbye. " I asked for the last time. still no sound. I turn away from his room and walk to the front door. I didn't hear any door opening sound from his room. He is mad at me. I can feel it. Small tear balls came out from my eyes. I can't believe myself. Yesterday I try to run away from him. And now I get the opportunity. Then why do I feel so bad about this? I took a deep breath and came outside. At least now I can go home. I am going to my father. I am going to be the son he wants from now on.

…

I slowly walk down to the port. I saw Azula s Fire nation Ship. "Wow," it is beautiful. my father never gave me a ship like that before. Well, I am not surprised. Azula always gets the best things.

"Wait! Don't leave without me!" Suddenly I heard a familiar voice from behind me. I drop my bag on the floor and turn back. It is uncle Iroh. He is coming down while carrying his bag.

"Zuko" he waves at me. I smile. All the tears in my eyes vanished into thin air.

"Uncle! You've changed your mind!" I said and hug him. Uncle hug me back.

"Family sticks together, right?" he said and held my shoulder. What was I thinking? This is uncle Iroh. He loves me so much. He will never leave me alone. And I am happy about it. Finally, I can go home peacefully.

"We're finally going home!" I said and look back at the ship on the port. I can't wait to see my father.

Aang s Pov

I left Katara and Sokka with Appa. I ask them to fly and wait close to the city of Oma Shu until I am coming back. That's all I can do right now. I took my glider and fly as fast as I can to the North Pole. The sky is heavy and dark. I know it's far but I want to see her. I want to say sorry for what happened.

"I am an Idiot, Momo" I said while flying. "This morning I try to win the war using the Avatar state and now I am traveling back to the north to see Song Yin" I don't know about this connection between me and her. But I really want to see her for some reason. I love her. But it's not the same feeling I am having for Katara. I don't love Song Yin that way. But there is something. Something that I can't understand about her. She reminds me of my dead sister Yun. She acts like her. She talk like her. I don't believe the person I met in the Spirit world anymore. Song Yin was right. That Spirit was not Yun.

"I am an Idiot Momo, this is all my fault"

Zuko s Pov

I hate the way all the soldiers stand around us without bowing. I am there Prince. So why can't they show some respect to me? I slowly bow to Azula. Uncle did the same. That's how our nation shows respect for each other. Azula Bow back. Her face looks so calm. I wonder how she removes her evil looks.

"Brother! Uncle! Welcome! I'm so glad you decided to come." She said proudly. We smile with her. But it didn't touch our hearts.

"Are we ready to depart, Your Highness?" her captain ask so politely. Azula shakes her hade.

"Set our course for home, captain." She said while looking at me.

'Home" I love that word. That word burns my whole body.

Uncle starts to walk forward to climb into the Ship. I did the same. But before that. Azula's captain start s to speak.

"You heard the princess! Raise the anchors! We're taking the prisoners home!"

I wide my eyes in shock. Did he say Prisoners? I look at Azula's face. She is glaring at the caption. Suddenly uncle Iroh blasts a huge fireball at one soldier who stands next to us. He starts to fight so we can escape. But I didn't think I can do that right now. Last night I believe every word Azula said. Why father why? I got to know the truth.

"You lied to me!" I scream in anger and pain.

"Like I've never done that before." Azula smile smugly and wave at me. I try to run after her. But two soldiers blocked my way. I hit both of them and push them to the sea. I ran to the top and enter into her ship.

"Azula" I scream her name. She is standing in the middle of the ship like nothing happen. But I know she is planning something. And I don't care what it is. I send huge fireballs towards her. She turns to me and blocks them all. Her fire bending is so blue. I have never seen anything like that before. Why the hell is that?

"Zuko! Let's go!" I heard uncle scream my name. But I didn't stop my fight with Azula. If she is not my sister I am really killing her.

"Don't be stupid Zuzu, you are nothing compare to me. Hahaha" She starts to laugh. I feel hurt after hearing that. I hit her hand and she pushes me back and scratches my head from her nail.

"You know, Father blames Uncle for the loss of the North Pole. And he considers you a miserable failure for not finding the Avatar! huhh.. in his eyes, you are a person who forgets about his task and follows beautiful water tribe girls around the world... Womanizer HAHAHAHAHAHA " Azula laugh and fire bend at me again.

I wide my eyes and stop moving and bending after hearing what she said. What is she talking about? Is that how my father really sees me? As a failure, as a womanizer. My heart starts to sink. My eyes began to blur.

"Why would he want you back home, except to lock you up .where you can no longer embarrass him and our nation?"

This makes me angry and hurts more than ever. I shake my head and start to fight with her again. "Azula always lies, Azula always lies," I said to myself.

"Father found everything about your actions Zuzu, ahahaha, so how is your Ocean flower? Is she good in bed?"

"ERRRRRR" I hit her and mistakenly hold her hand. She smirks and glare at me. I look at her face in a shock. She suddenly pushes me away from her with a huge blast. I lost my balance and fell to the floor.

"AHHAHAHAHH" she smiles wickedly and starts to bend lighting out from her hands. How the hell does she learn to do that. But before she blasts me uncle ran to her and hold her hand while bending her lighting to the clear sky. He hit her and push her to the water. He helps me to stand and drag me with him while running. I look back at the ship. Tears fell down from my eyes.

Song Yins Pov

I pack most of the fancy looking clothes inside my bag. I never even know I had them. Some of them belong to Yue. But all the blue color ones are mine. Well, maybe I can open a fancy water nation dress shop in the earth kingdom by using these.

I open my drawer. Inside there, I found some pieces of jewelry belongs to my mother. I pick the one with a blue Ocean flower pendant on it. It's made of crystals. I always want to wear it but she always wants Yue to ware it. But now both of them are gone. And that means…..its mine.

"Amazing," I said and slowly put the neckless around my neck. It fits me well. Wow. "You are a pretty thing Song Yin," I said and smile. I don't know if Zuko still had my neckless or not. And even he does I don't want to tell him that it belongs s to me at all.

I look at myself from the mirror. My face is nothing like Yue s. I wonder who my real mother is. La never mentions about her to me. They all said I came from the Ocean. And that's the stupidest thing I ever heard. And more importantly only my family knew the truth about me. At least they hide about adopting me.

"Princess Song Yin, Your Dinner is ready," Ma said and bow to me. She closed the door behind her and look at the mess I made for her to clean.

"Oh my"

But before I reply she saw my neck.

"Oh dear," she said. I look at her face, she looks so sad suddenly.

"What's wrong," I ask in surprise. I have never seen her like this before.

"That neckless you are waring, it belongs to your mother," she said. "I don't know where she found it or who made it. But she kept it. She wants Princess Yue to ware it for her wedding day" Ma said sadly. I look down. Of cause she wants her real daughter to wear it. Not me. I slowly remove it and hold it in my hand. I suddenly feel sadness overcoming me. She never left anything to me.

"It's beautiful isn't it?" Ma said while touching the flower in it. "I never seen a flower like this before," she said and pick the neckless from my hand to exam it.

"Really" I smile and look at the flower shape pendant. "I know that flower from any ware. It's an Ocean Flower. There are lots in the Spirit world"

Ma looks at me." I heard it's so hard to find them in the mortal world, when I was small my mother brought me a plant. She said it's an Ocean flower plant. But no flower pop up. I wait and wait and wait. But even after four years, the plant was still the same. Then one day your mother told me that most of these flowers are belongs to the Spirit world. She said she saw few flowers on the Oasis the day before you born. Oh dear hehehe her tummy is so huge. We thought it's a boy. But here you born. As a beautiful girl," Ma said and hug me.

I push her away and I look at her with wide eyes. Did she say my Adopted mother was pregnant? "She said she saw few flowers on the Oasis the day before you born." This can't be true. I know I am not their daughter. Then how come she be pregnant? That's crazy. Maybe she lied. But Ma saw a baby bump right. This is weird. I know Ma know nothing about who I really am. But my Adopted mother's baby bump really surprised me. I know that is not me in there. Then who is the person that stayed inside her tummy?. And where is he or she now? Why didn't my father never mention about these things to me before?

"KNOK KNOK KONK" Suddenly I heard someone is knocking my door like crazy. Ma stands angrily and walks to the door.

"Who is it? This is Princess Songs room… respect" She screamed in anger before open the door. I saw Tab the soldier. He looks so terrified.

"What" Ma ask

"The Avatar" Tab said and pause after seeing me. my heart feels with surprise.

"What is about the Avatar," I ask. Tab look at my face for few seconds.

"He is here"

seyaaaa guys. love you.
