AVATAR Book 2.1 (Chapter 5: Relighting a Torch)

What happens when the heart grows dimmer? Will it end a relationship or be the start of the fall of the AVATAR? Could Katara kill the avatar before the war does? Next time on Avatar Book 2.1 (Chapter 5: Relighting a Torch)

"Why, Zuko? I thought that you chose to go your separate way? Remember you are fire nation and your job is to fight the avatar."

"Katara, sometimes we make wrong decisions and then you go away and keep replaying a beautiful face over and then she gets under your skin, that you need to come back and do anything to be with her." Suddenly Katara kissed him as Aang watched in anger he now knew where he stood. Katara never reciprocated the thought because Zuko and she let him act a fool over her up until then. A strange emotion came over Aang, he wanted to kill Zuko, and he could kill Zuko. As the blue light that once donned Avatar state became the color of red, Aang was lost. Winds picked up and the sky became the color of gray. Immediately, Katara and Zuko looked up noticing Aang's new dress of black and red.

"Aang?" she called out but he hadn't listened, he dropped down in the new state. Immediately Zuko stood in front of Katara prepared to fight.

"So Sokka, I am to believe that the fight upstairs was an accident? King Keko asked coming into the room.

"Yes, King Keko, it was just from frustration."

"Good, because I would hate for Aang to become angry with someone such as you."

"Why?" Sokka asked.

"Because there is a state in which a person with powers such as Aang can go, that is dangerous."

As Aang pushed his hands out, a strong wind blew the two back as they landed against a tree, Zuko was quick to get up and prepare to fight him.

"Get back, Katara." Zuko called out. Aand suddenly clapped creating a lightening bolt strike towards the two. As Katara screamed, she closed her eyes feeling that death was coming, but as she opened them she found Zuko and Iroh creating a force field.

"What's wrong with him, Uncle?"

"There is a state in which a power such as the Avatar can go called Bon Chi and Mauvais Chi, also known as Yin and Yang to mortals such as us."

"Why is it dangerous?" Toph called out.

"Because it is a state that deals with the battle of inner strength, for inner strength is something a mere mortal fights everyday but for an Avatar it is a one in a million."

"For an Avatar is the equal of them both however when one outweighs the other such as like a scale, it can overtake the other."

"So which one is Aang?"

"Mauvais Chi, is the one that Aang must not posses for it is the evil and to overcome it, there are only two ways…ones inner self or…"

"Or what?" Sokka asked.

"I'm afraid…death."

"I don't believe you, who do you know has been in that state?" Katara asked as Aang continued to hit beams of lightening into the force field.

"Lord Ozai, Zuko's Father."

"My liege…"Jung Sun announced.

"Yes."

"It would seem that soldiers on the East End have tracked fire nation coming this way."

"But how?"

"Well my liege, a storm has set among the Suri Forest."

"But that wouldn't-"

"It does if it's only coming from Suri Forest."

"Aang?" Sokka replied.

"It couldn't be, Aang would never become that angry." Toph added.

"Yes, he would." Sokka replied, as Toph sensed something was up.

"Sokka, why would Aang ever get mad? It wouldn't be because of your fight, so what is it?" Toph asked as everyone listened intently. Sokka knew he could not let it go, not to Toph.

"Toph, King Keko…" immediately he was interrupted.

"It's Katara." Queen Sung She entered. As King Keko looked at his wife, he knew it to be true.

"How'd?" Sokka began but the Queen silenced him with her hand.

"Dear Sokka, Toph I have been given a gift that has served well for my kingdom, I am able to sense things and for see visions of what is to come. At first, I could sense Aang's love for Katara but the vision that followed showed a struggle and test that would change him. I wondered why or what could cause that and then while speaking with Katara, I realized what. I warned her that she must not let him know, not indulge him. For her vision held an element that was key."

"What?" Toph asked.

"Zuko!" Sokka ended.

"How did you-" Toph said confused.

"When we were in Zai Zhang City, and Aang had disappeared, I awoke in the middle of the night and found Katara gone. I thought she had wondered off after Aang, so I tracked her. I didn't know what I was about to find. I could have killed him but Katara stopped me."

"So you two not talking to each other was because of that." Toph added.

"I should have told him, this is my fought."

"No, Sokka, it isn't. I told Aang to follow his heart." King Keko continued.

"You cannot prevent things from coming to past, it wasn't any of your fought." The Queen said.

"Yes, it was." Toph said in anger. "It was all your faults."

"Toph?" Sokka tried.

"No, you made a fool out of him and now he could die before ever completing the job he was meant to do. You knew and you let this play out."

"But Toph, it was to come." King Keko interjected.

"No friendship was to come, caring enough to tell him the true was to come!" Toph said standing up.

"Your right, Toph." Sokka added. "This could have very well been prevented."

"Yea, well it's too late." Toph replied leaving out, as she walked out Sokka looked down.

"Sokka, she is just angry about what is taking place, but it was something that we could prevent, it was to come-"

"My sincere apologies, Queen Sung She but that's not true and it's time something be done about it." He said leaving out.

"My dear husband something is going to take place that will change all of them tonight. A torch will be relit that shall spawn the real war and real terror."

"And as for us?" King Keko asked.

"We must wait." Queen Sung She added.
