Chapter 5: Plans

Lerolas eyed the baby now known as Prince Souzen heavily. And she knew that he could see her, watching him, making sure he didn't do something wrong. Because, although a Solstice was far away, it was possible for her to enter the realm of the Living, but it would take sheer force and determination…

Souzen played it smart, he had just turned 1, but the stupid Elf never left. She was even in his dreams!

Making sure I don't plan anything. Damn she's annoying.

If I was to walk among the Living like that, I would live all Eternity. I would age, until I couldn't move. Doctors would try to put me to rest, but I would repel the toxins, anything, unless they swiped me with a blade crafted of Elven silver and made by an Elven black-smith. Lerolas thought.

The babe behaved well for his parents, and it made her sick.

"I'd just love to give Katara a nightmare, just to show her what her son would grow up to be. And what would become of her." Lerolas said smugly as she watched Katara give Souzen a kiss on the forehead, then put him to bed that night.

Lerolas walked up to the baby, and looked down into the crib. Souzen stared right back up at her. She heard a voice, but it came from no mouth.

"You never leave me alone, do you?" The true Souzen asked.

"No. Not with what you plan to do." The baby grinned. Lerolas grimaced.

"Just wait you insignificant little firebender, you won't live past the Solstice." Lerolas heard a chuckle.

"Sorry, little Elf. But I will live past the Solstice. Just wait…" Lerolas stood back, and looked down at the baby.

She walked back next to the crib, and glared down at Souzen.

"How do you know?"

"Stupid little Elf. I have resources, and ways into realms no regular spirit could go." Lerolas gritted her teeth. She paid no mind to whoever walked in the door at that moment. They wouldn't see her.

They wouldn't, she thought, until Lerolas heard a woman scream. She whirled around, and saw Katara rushing out of the room. Screaming for the guards.

Lerolas looked at the mirror in the corner of the room. As a spirit, she no longer existed, so she had no reflection. Unless she was a spirit among the Living.

And there she was, dressed as an Elf Archer, pale blue and white. But slowly, familiar colors surrounded her form.

Blue hair grew to a dark auburn, white became gray and green, and pale colors turned into a brown quiver full of arrows and bow.

Then the door was rammed open. And the colors faded back into blue and white. But she was still in the Living.

The guards looked at her, stunned.

"Who are you?" The lead guard ordered. Lerolas shrugged.

"A spirit, a Wanderer, seeking forgiveness for past crimes, and protector of us all. A horrible fate awaits your son, I will not speak of it, it will all unfold in time." The guards all gaped at the familiar voice. Katara began to scream.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING? KILL HER" Lerolas grinned.

"You can't kill me, Lady Katara of the Water Nation, I'm already dead. After you ordered my execution." Katara's eye twitched. Then she turned to the guards.

"WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? KILL HER!" The guards threw spears, stabbed her with swords, and launched arrows, but they all went through her form.

As Lerolas's spirit returned to the spirit world, she spoke.

"Doom awaits you, Lady Katara, if you love your son. Kill him now, and let me do the rest." And the mysterious young woman was gone. The guards all looked at each other, when Katara ordered them out.

They did as they were told, leaving Katara alone. Zuko came rushing in.

"What-gasp-happened? –gasp-" Katara looked up.

"A spirit, was here, looking at Souzen." She sobbed. Zuko beamed.

"That's wonderful news! We shall be blessed!" Katara shook her head.

"No, Zuko. The spirit, she said doom awaited me if I loved Souzen. She said to kill him, then let her do the rest. She said she had a job to do, but she…" Katara's voice trailed off as she began to sob.

Zuko knelt down, and took his wife in his arms. He hushed her.

"Shhh, don't cry. It was just a spirit they are troublemakers. Probably a hoax. Nothing to worry about." Katara shook her head against Zuko's chest.

"No, it was, it was Lerolas…" Zuko's eyes got wide.

Lerolas stood in a corner of the room, watching Katara cry.

"Yes, you're right Zuko. Souzen the Spirit is a troublemaker." She stayed to watch Souzen's dreams.

Sokka grunted as he waited for his partners to show up. Just when he was about to leave, they appeared.

"Why does it take you so long?" He hissed. The female raised a finger and shook it.

"Ah ah ahhhh, boy. Be paitent. Do you know which wing they sleep in?" Sokka nodded.

"Yah, they sleep in the Blue Dragon wing." The male hissed.

"Typical." He muttered. From behind her hood, Jun grinned.

"Don't worry, boy," she cooed.

"It'll all be done soon." Sokka nodded.

All according to plan.

OOOO! Sumtin big is going down!

INSANITY AT ITS FINEST
LONG LIVE THE HIPPIES!
