Sorry for the delay! Went to Great America with friends yesterday and by the time I got home, was WAY too tired to finish editing the chapter & post it. So, a day late. Next update will be Monday like normal.

"Again?" Katara pressed for answers.

"I found him broken and faceless, another victim of my son."

"I was dying."

Katara stared in horror; the spirit regarded him indifferently. "Yes, you were."

"She saved me." Zuko explained.

"How?"

"His body was broken, damaged beyond repair. Without his face it would perish. So I split it, crafted it new faces, and sent it back to your world."

"I need you to save her too," Zuko pleaded, gesturing to Katara. Katara wasn't listening, though, still in shock from the spirit's revelation.

The spirit considered Katara thoughtfully. "No. She does not require my help."
