Well, here it is. Enjoy.

I'll be taking a break in writing fanfics for a while. Cheers to a good start in the world of fanfiction. Although I've read a lot of fanfiction all throughout my life, I only had the courage to write this year. I'd like to thank Hineko12 for inspiring me to finally have the courage to write. I'll be posting my own stories too, maybe sometime.

Day 7: Spirit World

It took him three years to finally know what he did wrong. Helping the Avatar get into the Spirit World and get her back into shape was the least he could do to atone for his biggest mistake so far. He realized Korra's point. If it weren't for him taking down the Earth Queen and leading the group of anarchists that wreaked havoc all throughout the Earth Kingdom, Kuvira couldn't have risen to power. It is as she said, he created the worst dictator that the Earth Kingdom has ever seen.

He has his regrets in all this. If this didn't all happen, I wouldn't have lost her. . . Zaheer thought to himself as he felt his physical body moving down, bound by gravity once again. P'Li was in his thoughts and this was happening everytime he thought of her. The combustionbender's effort wouldn't have been wasted if they accomplished their mission. But everything that was happening lately, that wasn't what he meant. And no, it wasn't just her. His friends too. Being the only one in that prison right now, he never felt so guilty. He wasn't usually like this. Meditation usually keeps him reserved. Now that he has met the Avatar and helped her, he didn't seem to know so much anymore.

Zaheer was still in the Spirit World. He strolled around, not minding the other Spirits that also passed by. He went to Xai Bau's grove and sat there most of the time, contemplating.

"I knew I'd see you here." He heard a familiar voice. He opened his eyes and saw the large figure standing in front of him. "Set the world free yet?" P'Li said sarcastically, hands on her hips, a brow raised.

He looked down and shook his head. She had to ask.

She disappeared in front of Zaheer and spoke behind him all of a sudden "You have hair already. How long has it been? I can't tell when I'm here in the Spirit World. . . forever."

"Three years." He looked down.

"That long, huh?" He nodded. She looked to the sky full of colors and wandering spirits. "That long for you to finally notice and respond to me." She looked back at him. "Why only now, Zaheer? Why were you avoiding me?"

He gave no response. The silence was annoying her.

"Look at me. Tell me, why only decide to finally talk to me now?"

And that he did. "Because I know that you're disappointed in me. For everything. I failed you, I failed our friends, the entire order. I failed the people of this world, I failed to set them free." He looked down again.

"You're not supposed to carry the burden of the entire order. There are others too. This isn't all about you." P'Li raised her voice at him.

"I am not saying that it is. I know there are others who have the same motive as our leader would do. I chose this path. We all did." He finally had the guts to look at her straight. "And now I'm having my regrets. I thought taking down the Earth Queen helped. But no, everything is much worse now."

"What do you mean?" Her voice seemed calmer.

"If it weren't for the Avatar mentioning my mistake, I wouldn't have realized."

"The Avatar talked to you?"

"Yes. She confronted me about the block that has been degrading her. Her limitless power bound by the past. Korra told me about the rise of the new dictator even worse than the queen herself. She calls herself the "Great Uniter", ruler of the New Earth Empire. Someone more tactile, more dangerous. I've been accused of creating the worst dictator the Earth Kingdom has ever seen. And she was right."

"You don't have to take that to heart. We liberated Ba Sing Se together. We freed the people of the Earth Kingdom." P'Li finally joined him and sat down, trying to hold his hands.

"That, we did. And if it weren't for everything that happened, I wouldn't have lost you. I'm sorry."

They did their best to intertwine each other's hands.

"Kuvira needs to be stopped. Helping the Avatar to accept what happened and leading her to the Spirit World was the least I could do." Yes, helping her. It was the least I could do, the last I could do for the order.

"I'll support you in whatever you need to do." P'Li smiled at him.

Together, they stood. Zaheer almost went away before P'Li stopped him.

"I was thinking though. Maybe if you wanted to stay here?" She asked him. Knowing he can travel to the Spirit World, why not be like their founder?

"I. . . I do not know." He frowned at her.

"Hey, if you think you're needed back out there. . . Then go." She set him free.

"P'Li."

"Go." She said, finally.

"I love you P'Li. Thank you, for everything." He remembered the last time he said this to her, their last moments before her death.

"I love you too."

I actually referenced my artwork here lol (minus the burn scars tho). Thank you so much for your reviews on this fic collection. I'll continue to write more, not just P'Heer but other stuff as well. Hopefully this wouldn't be my last fic for this year.
