Chapter 4
The Southern Siege Begins
"Uncle…"
"Yes my Prince?"
"You never told me that we are returning to the battle?"
"Your father sent the troops to find the Ocean Spirit. Everyone found out about that three days ago." Replied General Iroh.
"General Iroh, the troops will attack at midnight, there is only one waterbender in this whole village, it'll be better to pretend to hit at dawn…"
"Yes Captain Lee."
"Uncle, I do not want people suffering, it just isn't right…" whispered Zuko.
"I know its hard, you don't have to battle if you don't want to…" replied Iroh and replied, "Now why don't you go and take a nap…"
Zuko nodded and left the planning room…
The sun settled rather quickly, the village already was ready to brace themselves…
Katara remained up on the cliff as midnight approaches the ships came closer and closer…
"Katara, my dear child, now it is the time to attack…"
"I am ready…" replied Katara as she stood at the edge of the cliff and controlled the waves in the sea…
"Sir, general Iroh, the Ocean spirit, we believe is attacking the Navy."
"Set out the troops now, they must go and find this person!"
"Right away sir."
Zuko watched the troops leave the ships and headed into the village saw them attacking…
Katara pulled a wave and knocked the soldiers out of the village…
The moon light shown down on Katara, the Water Temple crystal began to glow again…
The soldiers stopped fighting…
Everyone stood still and gazed up at the cliff…
"The Ocean Spirit…" a child breathed and bowed down.
The Water Tribe people began doing the same…
The soldiers looked up at the cliff and gasped…
"Sir Iroh, we believe we found the spirit."
"Where?"
"See for yourself!" replied Captain Lee as they ran out on to the deck and looked at the cliff and Iroh gasped, "It is the Ocean Spirit…Zuko, look!"
Prince Zuko hurried to his Uncle and looked at the cliff and gasped, "The Ocean Spirit…"
The sky was now filled with the Northern Light and everyone saw the shimmering sparkles fall down from the sky and Iroh breathed, "Tell the Navy to retreat before they get killed…"
The captain hurried give the newer report and Iroh watched his nephew look up at the Ocean Spirit and Zuko breathed, "This is such a beautiful sight…"
Iroh looked at his nephew and smiled, "Yes, yes, it is…"
Zuko continued to look at his Uncle and asked, "What are we going to do now?"
"We'll capture the Ocean Spirit ourselves." Replied Iroh simply.
Zuko nodded and went back to bed…
Katara watched the Navy leave and the wind whispered, "The battle isn't over yet, you are being searched still…Your destiny stay hidden…"
"Yes mother…" whispered Katara as she left the cliff…
