Luz woke up and looked around, she was in her house, which is a statement that still shocks her. She got up and cracked her back.
"Alright, my house which means I need to get a bed." Luz said, "This nest isn't helping."
Luz fully awakened when she realized... her ribs were beyond broken.
"Oh, that's... that hurts." Luz said, her voice reaching a new octave she never reached before.
Luz went to the bathroom and decided to use her waterbending to heal herself. She filled the tub and got in. She soaked and let her waterbending do all the work. After she was done, she got out and got dressed again. Luz walked down the stairs when she heard a knock on the door. She opened the door and saw Lilith.
"Hi, Lilith." Luz said, "What can I do for you?"
"I see you're up." Lilith said, "I was just here to see how you've been; you were sleeping for almost two days. Usually, King opens the door, but it seems he's unavailable."
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure he's sleeping." Luz said.
"Anyway, now that you're awake, the Emperor wants to see you." Lilith said, "I can give you a ride to the castle if you want."
"That would be great, but why does he want to see me?"
"He didn't say." Lilith said, "All I know is that he said to bring you to him as soon as you woke up."
Luz got on the staff and Lilith flew towards the castle. Luz couldn't help but wonder what Philip wanted to see her for. They landed and got off the staff. As they walked in, all the guards bowed to Luz.
"A lot of people see you as a hero." Lilith said, "Many of them feel indebted to you."
"There's no need for that, I was just doing the right thing." Luz said.
Luz and Lilith walked into the Throne Room and saw Belos.
"I see you're awake." Belos said, "I wanted to thank you for all you've done for the Isles."
"That isn't necessary." Luz said.
"But it is, you just stopped my brother from conquering two dimensions." Belos said, "I have something to show you."
Belos lead Luz to a balcony, which let Luz look out to the side of the castle, where a statue of her was being made.
"To honor all you've done, we're going to place that in the heart of Bonesborough." Belos said, "Now, I recommend you step away from the ledge before you get knocked off it."
Luz did so but was confused.
"Why would I-"
Luz was tackled by Alejandra and her hatchling. She licked Luz, making her laugh. Luz got up and scratched her chin.
"Yeah, I missed you too." Luz said.
The baby climbed up Luz and sat on her shoulder, rubbing against her cheek. Luz laughed and pet him. Luz looked at the doorway and saw her friends.
"Hey guys." Luz said.
They ran and hugged her.
"We were very worried for you!" Willow said.
"Well, I'm still here." Luz said, "Nothing is taking me away."
Luz noticed Amity and it was... awkward.
"Hey." Luz said.
"Hi." Amity said.
Willow, being the good friend she is, pulled everyone, including the Emperor, away from Luz and Amity. It was silent for a little while, with the two looking away from each other.
"So... are you still... part demon?" Luz asked.
"Uh... yeah, it's been gestating in my blood for a bit of time. Boscha's trying to figure out how to fix it, but... it's taking a while."
Luz leaned against the railing.
"So, anything I miss since I passed out?" Luz asked.
"Well, there's a couple things that happened." Amity said, "Biggest thing, is that there are still some of Caine's men are still out there causing problems. Emperor Belos is hunting them down, but they're scattered and hard to find."
"Don't worry, I'm up and ready to go, I'll find them." Luz said, looking at the work on her statue, "You know, I always wanted to be a great Avatar, but no one in the Human World cared, the need for the Avatar went away. I ran away to avoid needing to become the Avatar. I guess I just needed to find the place that needed me the most."
"Well, I'm glad you ran away." Amity said, walking over to the railing and looking out, "You've done so much to help this world, I don't want to think about what would happen if you never came here."
Luz reached out and grabbed Amity's hand.
"Yes."
Amity looked confused.
"What?"
"Your note... my answer is yes." Luz said.
Amity blushed and looked at Luz. Luz moved away from the railing and looked at Amity. Amity did the same and the two just looked at each other, giving an amused chuckle or grin. The two moved close and kissed, finally getting the one thing they wanted more than anything. Luz finally had what she wanted. She could finally say, with actual pride, that she was... Avatar Luz.
Alright, so this is it. Fun fact, if you look at the chapter names of the first and last chapters, they're similar to the names of the first and last episodes of Avatar, that's not a coincidence. Leave your final reviews.
