Okay, I've finished yet another chapter. I hope somebody will come by and read this then spread some good word on me by. So far I've got ZERO hits on my last three chapters. -- Skcitt Onto the fic! This chapter has been gratefully edited by Drgn Prncss.

"AHHHH!" Kaiza created a shroud of darkness, which emanated in all directions. Kirk couldn't be sure but it looked to him that Kaiza actually had red, glowing eyes.

"Now, you shall all pay." Kaiza did everything in his power to make sure that every person in that place was screaming for his or her lives. It was as if all Hell broke loose. Every shadow pummeled into Katara, Sokka, Aang, Kirk, and Soyo as a cloud of needles with agony that could not be ended.

Screams filled the area. Cries of help rang in everyone's ears. Kaiza laughed manically. A harp played in the background. Yes, a harp played in the background. The old man from the woods sat in the scene on a log playing his harp. The music tore through the shadows and freed the five victims from the painful grasp. The old man played calmly and the music itself seemed to be made of light. Kaiza shot a sharp, painful glare at the harpist. A glimmer of fear appeared in his eyes. The harpist kept playing filling the air with the sound of his beautiful music.

FLASH! The harpist disappeared and in his place stood the lightbender from the village. He stood straight and tall, his eyes closed. Faster than was once thought possible, the light bender took a stance and perfectly threw light ball, streams, and many other techniques at Kaiza. Kaiza yelled painfully and tried to deflect the attacks with little result. The lightbender stood again straight and tall. He began to breathe softly and filled the air with light.

The light bender dissipated and there stood the lady from the path. She was the most surprising of them all. The amazing thing the woman began to sing. Her voice emanated throughout the pocket. Her calming, then booming, then uplifting voice cleared away the darkness and left Kaiza screaming.

"AHHHHHH! NOOOO!" The woman closed her talented lips as well as her eyes. She dissolved like a puddle right in front of them.

Another shape formed from the puddle. The body lifted from the liquid. Long hair formed on the head. A clear, visible robe could be made out. Then came her eyes. Her eyes, blue and beautiful, showed a deep care. She looked over at Kirk who stood almost frozen. This was his mother, the spirit of Raven Lake, Kaula.

She surrounded herself with small droplets of water and lifted herself in the air. She then changed the droplets to shards and shot them at Kaiza. Kaiza covered his face to protect himself but otherwise was almost shot down with ice shards. Kaula surrounded herself in water and spun herself upward creating a whirling spout of water. Her eyes remained the same, full of love and compassion. Kaiza evilly shot a blanket of shadow at Kaula.

He tried to but got covered up with a blanket of light. "AHHH!" Kirk stood still, his hands outstretched. He shifted his weight and shot more streams of light at Kaiza who moved absentmindedly from confusion. Kaula took the spout of water and shot it at Kaiza. Kaiza fell to the ground completely aghasted and awestruck. He didn't move an inch. Soyo walked up to him in his current state.

"This is for the lives you've taken." Soyo took his hands and created a compact ball of light and aimed it downward. The light filled the entire pocket temporarily blinding everyone.

OKAY! One last chapter to go and then the fic are DONE! (Throws confetti and dances in a circle) One, last, and short chapter to draw things to a final close. When this fic is done please review and tell me whether I should make another fic with Kirk in it. Skcitt -
