Spirit world
Ryu opened his eyes, where was he? The last thing he remembered was being shot by that girl. Ryu slowly stood up and looked around. He wasn't in the Earth Kingdom, that much he knew. He walked around trying to find someone he had no idea how long he searched. But eventually he gave up and laid down under a tree.
It wasn't long before tears started to flow. He was completely alone here. After a moment or two, a hand touched his shoulder. He rolled over and saw a girl wearing Air Nomad cloths. "Ari?" he asked. "Hey Ryu." Ari said. "Where am I?" Ryu asked sitting up. Ari sat down next to him. "You're in the Spirit World" Ari said. "What am I doing here?" "Well… you died" Ari said. "Oh." Ryu said. "I thought you were really brave fighting those girls." "Thanks." "I guess" Ryu said. "What are you doing here?" he asked, even though he knew the answer.
"They thought it would be best if you saw someone you knew." Ari said. "Who?" Ryu asked. "The past Avatars" Ari said. "I'm so sorry I wasn't there, "back at the Air Temple" Ryu said wrapping his arm around Ari as tears rolled down her face. "I'm here now and I'm not going anywhere." "But you have to." Ari said. "You're not supposed to be here." "You need to go back." "I don't want to go back," I'd rather stay here with you." Ryu said. "You have to." Ari said your friends miss you." Ari said.
She waved her arm and an image appeared like a TV. As Ryu watched he was himself lying on Appa's saddle, they were flying back towards Ba Sing Se with his body. Aang looked the most affected. He had just met another surviving Air Bender, only to watch him be killed by Azula. "Maybe I should go back." Ryu said as he watched. "It wouldn't be fair to Aang." He said. "Promise you'll be back." Ari said. "My friend is the Avatar." "Of course I'll be back." Ryu said. "Wait!" Ari said "One more thing." Ari handed him a necklace, Monk Gyatso says he's proud of Aang. "Is that all?" No Ari said. She walked up to him and kissed him. Ryu turned and left in a hurry afraid if he waited any longer he'd change his mind. He reached a large door way and walked through it.
Back on Appa's saddle Ryu opened his eyes and gasped coughing, trying to catch his breath. Ryu! Everyone exclaimed. Ryu sat there for a moment panting before saying. "Hey guys." "How are you here?" Aang asked. "I was in the Spirit World" Ryu said. "I meet someone, who said I had to go back" "Who?" Aang asked "That reminds me" Ryu said. Holding out Gyatso's necklace. "Gyatso says he's proud of you Aang." Aang took the necklace from Ryu. They flew the rest of the way back mostly in silence. Ryu was too tired to talk anyway and fell asleep on Appa's saddle.
He woke up the next day in his room he wondered briefly how long he'd been sleeping his question was answered when Katara entered his room. "How do you feel?" she asked. "Better." Ryu said sitting up. A thought occurred to him. "What day is it?" When Katara told him his face fell. "What's wrong?" Katara asked. "It's nothing" Ryu said lying back down. He heard Katara leave then rolled over facing the door. Yesterday had been his birthday. He had died on his birthday. After a while he got up and joined the others in the main part of the apartment.
"Hey, Aang can I talk to you about something?" Ryu said. "Sure what is it?" "Is it possible to bring someone back from the Spirit World?" "Who do you want to bring back?" Aang asked. "Never mind that, is it possible?" Ryu asked again. I suppose you could use the Spirit Portal at the North Pole Aang said. "Why?" "I want to bring back my friend Ari, she's trapped there." "I don't know Ryu." "You shouldn't tamper with the Spirits." "Promise you'll at least think about it first." Aang said. "Sure." Ryu said.
"Thanks Aang." Ryu said walking off in truth he had no intention of waiting, he was going to get Ari back no matter what it took. And there was one Spirit he knew who could help: Koh.
I'm sorry but I'm starting to lose inspiration for writing the story. I'll post the next chapter soon but I really do need your opinions they do matter to keep going with this story.
