Chapter Eight: Betrayal
Kai kept on stuffing his face with the mooncakes. Like a dog would to his food bowl in the morning. But as soon as he had started he was finished. He felt so upset that it was gone, wishing he had savoured the taste instead of just chucking it in his mouth. He was about ask for more but though better of it. Kuvira then took the bowl from him handed it to Azula. She threw the bowl at a tree as it turned back into snow. Kuvira then whipped Kai's mouth of any food left on it.
"Kai, I would so much like to meet the rest of your family" She said.
Kai was confused, he already told her all about them why would she need to see them. It made him feel a little hurt that he wasn't enough company.
"Why?" He asked
Kuvira held he patiences, He was only a child and would be quick to ask questions. She smiled warmly and continued.
"Because if you did. I would give you more Moon cakes, I'm afraid the power will only work once"
Any practical person would see this a rouse for trouble. But unfortunately for Kai who had eaten the food could think of nothing else but getting more. And anything that would be worth of value.
"Dame" He thought "Really need to start savouring"
"It is a beautiful place my home and of course you've seen the beauty of this land" Kuvira said dreamily.
Kai detected a break in her voice, like she was about to cry.
"But ruling it can be lonesome. For I have no children of my own. But You Kai are exactly the kind of boy that I could see becoming prince of Narnia. Then eventually King" She said
Kai's eyes lit up with great delight. Him king of the land, he could have everything and anything he wanted. A Kingdom, a throne and great riches. He was snapped out of his fantasy when Kuvira told him the catch that came with it.
"Of course you could have all this, After you bring your family to me" She explained.
Kai should have know there was a catch. If they came then he would have to share the ruling with Korra. Along with Aang and Asami just because Korra would always consider them part of the family.
"Dose that mean Korra would be queen to?" He asked grimly
Kuvira giggled at his question and pulled him closer to her.
"No. But a king needs servants" she answered.
Kai smiled with glee, That would show Korra. Kuvira then pointed to the horizon and explained to Kai where her home was. It was in a valley between two hills, she then explained the way back to his own world was go back where he came until he found the lamp post. Kai then got off the slay and stretched while she was talking.
"So remember. Lamp post, wood, hills, my house. Can you remember that" She asked
"Yes your majesty" Kai answered with a bow
"If your friend Aang has been talking to faun he may have heard stories that might make him afraid to come, But I'm sure you'll find a way to persuade him" Kuvira said sitting back on her slay
"But until then, I'm going to miss you dear boy" She said dreamingly
Azula then whipped the rains on the deer to make them move, They raced away kicking up snow as they went. Kai watched in ore as they drove away, he sighed with happiness and satisfaction and began heading back to wood.

Kai kept walking with his rob pulled up against his cheeks to protect his face from the cold. He couldn't stop thinking about what he was promised when he would bring the others here. But what he wanted most of all was another of those moon cakes. He would do anything to taste them again. At last he made it to the lamppost and was just about to figure out which way to go next when he heard running feet coming from behind him.
"Kai" came a voice from the trees.
He turned to see Aang running towards him. Aang then air bended an air scooter to get to Kai quicker, He then jumped on him and rapped his arms around his neck. Make them both fall in the snow.
"I can't believe you got here to. Isn't it awesome" Aang said laughing.
Kai gently pushed him off and got up brushing snow off him.
"Okay so you were right about this place. I'm sorry if you like, But where have you've been? I've been looking for you for ages" He said annoyed.
Aang looked at him with annoyance, How was he supposed to know Kai was following him. But he calmed him self and explained where he had been.
"If I had know you were there I would have waited for you. And if you must know I was having tea with Miss Tumnus. The Uniter hasn't harmed her so she hasn't found out about her letting me go" he explained
Kai's heart jolted at the sound of the Uniter. Was Aang talking about the same Uniter he only just met?
"Who's the Uniter?" He asked
"The one who calls her self ruler of this land but she really isn't. She reason that Narnia is in an endless winter. Always winter but never Christmas. And all the people and animals well the good ones simple hate her" Aang answered
Kai couldn't believe his ears. This Uniter couldn't be the same one he was with. Aang spoke of her as if she were some kind of monster.
"Who told you all of this?" He asked.
"Miss Tumnus" Aang answered
Kai giggled in amusement which made Aang frown with annoyance again.
"You can't believe everything Faun's say" Kai laughed
"Says Who" Aang demanded
"Everybody. Ask anyone you like" Kai answered
Aang shook his head, not believing a word of that. It was then he noticed that Kai looked very distort. He looked dizzy as though he was about to be sick.
"Are you okay. You look awful" Aang asked
Kai brushed him aside and walked away. Aang was speaking the truth, He did feel a little sick and he felt like he couldn't stand straight.
"Well what do you expect. I mean it's freezing out here. How do we get home?" He answered.
"This way. Kai I'm glad that you got here too. The girls will have to believe in Narnia now" Aang said excitedly
—
Korra and Asami lay in the dark sleeping soundly while in each others arms. Pabu lay next to them snuggling. The silents was broken by Aang's shouts of excitement and Kai turning on the light. Korra moaned and pulled the covers over her face. Pabu panicked and ran under the covers to join Korra.
"Five more minutes" She groaned.
"It's THERE, IT'S REALLY THERE" Aang shouted
Aang kept shaking both of them while shouting out his excitement, Asami had to cover him mouth so not to wake Lin or Tenzin.
"Aang you were only dreaming sweaty" Asami said quietly
Aang calmed but was dancing on his toes in all his excitement.
"But I wasn't It really is there. And this time Kai was there too" Aang explained
Korra then threw her cover off and stared at Kai. Asami stared at him to, they both waited to hear Kai tell his part in this with Aang smiling hopefully.
"So you believe him now Brother?" Korra said now fully awake
Kai looked upon his sister and friends. He was trying to figure out what he should say, If he were to tell the truth they would think him crazy also. Besides he would have to explain who he had met during his time there.
"I was just playing along. You know the thing about young kids" He answered
Aang jaw drooped, his eyes filled with shock which quickly turned to anger. Kai was there why would he lie.
"They just don't know when to pretending" He finished
Aang then blasted a gust of Wind at Kai which made him slam into the wall. He then gabbed him by his collar and began hitting him in the face. Asami grabbed his wrist to make him stop, Aang gazed at his sister and saw the fear in her eyes. She always hated it when he lost his temper so kicked Kai in the stomach and stomped out with Asami following.
Kai then sat up rubbing his stomach and cheek, he saw looking down on him in disgust.
"You just had to make it worse. You little shit" she said
