Well, questionaare day has officially ended, and I guess noone had any questions. Those who did ask questions all wanted to know these two main points-
Info about the spirit
Info about Katara and Aang
Anyways, yesterday went off a huge success…
Disclaimer- I do not own Avatar the Last Airbender
(P.S. alright please don't kill me, but I will warn you that there MAY be Zutara in later chapters. It is a possibility.)
Sorry I didn't update. I was home for around an hour the entire day yesterday.

I love him.
As if on cue, the ocean suddenly formed a water sphere, and inside it was a person.
"Who are you?"
"I am the voice you were talking to. I am the one whom brings hope when all seems lost. I am the one… that will bring Aang back."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The spirit smiled, although Katara immediately saw that it was fake.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, Katara. And now, we shall bring the Avatar back, hopefully…"
"What do you mean, hopefully? Are you saying that you can't bring him back?"
"It is a 50/50 split. You see, I am phasmatis of vita, the spirit of life. I create life, and yet so many lives die. When I was human, my husband had to go away to battle. He never came back. I started thinking, why don't people get second chances? Why do they have to die and never come back, the ones we love and once held dear? I started traveling all over the world, hoping that I can help. But as I was mere human flesh, I couldn't do a thing about people when they die.
And so I made a deal with the spirits. When I die, I will be able to bring people back from the dead. However, if I fail, than I will vanish for 10 years before I come back. The spirits said that this was the natural way of life. I argued that this isn't, and that people are getting slaughtered every moment we speak. Still, they had not granted me the power completely. That is why I can only bring back the Avatar in a 50/50 chance."
"But how did you talk to me? How long were you in my mind?" Katara questioned the spirit.
"I was never in your mind. I sent you messages, while I was patiently waiting."
"Waiting for what? You mean, you knew about the future? And you didn't stop it?"
"I cannot shape destiny, nor can any other human being and spirit. Destiny shapes itself."
"But aren't you reshaping destiny by bringing people back from the dead?"
"No. It is destiny for people to die of old age, of sickness, of broken hearts. But it was not destiny for people to be killed. So much pain, so much suffering."
Katara thought back the moment on the ship, when Aang was blasted away. His face was covered with shock and surprise, but she knew that deep inside that he was feeling pain and hurt.
"So you are saying that you can bring him back on a 50/50 chance?"
"Yes." Without any further words, she flicked her finger, and slowly, a blue orb began to form.
"Dr. Worheilmer was a good man. Unfortunately, I cannot bring him back." The spirit said while she worked.
"Why not?"
"Because, Katara, I may only bring back a life every 10 years. I have to choose carefully. And I chose the Avatar. Dr. Worheilmer had spent his whole life helping and saving others, never thinking too selfishly. He risked his life on dangerous journeys, just to find out more information about cures and diseases. One, if I remember correctly, that saved Aang's life. I regret not being able to save him."
"I understand…"

Sokka was on deck, looking at his sister. It looked like she was talking to someone, but there wasn't anyone at all. Sokka also noticed that she found Aang's body, but Sokka was sure that he was dead. He went back and looked at Dr. Worheilmer's body, his mouth dripping with blood.
He had made a difference.
