An Old Spirit Visits

Meanwhile...

Nianzu lay in his bed at the Inn, courtesy of the unknown man he had met a few days ago. Nianzu had been going over the same thought over and over again for the last few days. How would he ever stand a chance against the almighty Avatar? Aang was an airbender, firebender, waterbender, and earthbender, and he was just an Airbender. Nianzu pushed these thoughts aside as he ate a bowl of jook. He couldn't think of any other way, than to attack Aang before his wedding. The only problem was, how would he know where Aang would be? And how tight would security be?

Nianzu went and lied down on the couch in his room, reading a book about the Avatar's travels into the Spirit World. He fell asleep when he got to the chapter about Roku's past. He slept soundly and peacefully. He was only a few minutes into sleep when he began hearing the clanking of pots and pans in his room.

He got up and realized wind was blowing in from the window. He closed the window, but the wind continued blowing. All of a sudden the room began to shake fiercely, and dangerously. Books fell from the bookshelf, bowls and plates shattered as they hit the ground. The rugs began flying all around the room.

Nianzu quickly dove under the couch, terrified of the fierce wind blowing. A few moments later, Nianzu saw air currents twisting around eachother as they grew higher and larger, forming an upside-down tornado. The room shook so fierce now that the entire room was falling apart. The roof began to collapse, ice bricks falling one by one onto the floor, shattering. Nianzu became terrified, unable to comprehend what was happening. He covered his head with his hands, protecting his head if any debris were to hit him.

The tornado swirled faster as Nianzu was able to notice a figure inside the deadly wind. For a moment, Nianzu was afraid it was Aang who had learned of his treachery, but soon realized the figure had a long beard on his chin. A ball of air formed inside the tornado, blowing away all the wind, revealing Aang's old mentor, Monk Gyatso.

Nianzu gasped in shock, "G-Gy-Gyatso?" he shivered as he crawled out from under the couch. Gyatso had his arms inside his sleeves, with an angry look on his face.

"Nianzu...It's time you learn." He shouted. Nianzu became afraid that Gyatso's Spirit was going to kill him, somehow, someway.

"L-learn, about w-what?" Nianzu asked, unable to stop the quivering in his voice.

The spirit walked over to him, bending down so that he was face-to-face with the young airbender, "Do you know how you obtained your abilities?" Nianzu shook his to the old Spiri'ts question.

"Then it's time someone told you. Nianzu...do you know who I am?" the spirit asked.

"You're Monk Gyatso. Aang's airbending Mentor. You were like a father to him." Nianzu explained to the Old Spirit.

Gyatso's Spirit nodded, "Nianzu...your abilities...came from me."

Nianzu gasped in shock, "What? Ho-How is that possible?"

Gyatso took his left hand out of his sleeve, holding his hand out and touching the young boy's head with his index finger. Nianzu's eyes widdened as his mind was thrown into a vision.

"Nianzu, when you were six years old, we were watching you. Me, and some powerful Spirits known as the Sunachi. These Spirits are unlike normal, you are one of the First Outsiders to ever hear their name, next to Avatar Aang and Avatar Kuruk. These Spirits helped Aang stay alive in the Iceburg for 100 years, and Kuruk learned of these spirits when he tried to slay Koh: The Face Stealer. The Sunachi are the most Powerful Spirits in the Spirit World, and the most ancient. It is because of them that you are able to see me." Gyatso explained

Nianzu couldn't believe what he was hearing, "Spirits...Spirits that are Unknown to the rest of the world!"

"Yes. Nianzu, when I was killed by the Fire Nation 107 years ago, I was brought to the Sunachi; where they told me that in the future, we would find someone to take the abilities of an airbender. We chose you, because we could see you would be the one to help restore the Air Nomads. Aang wouldn't be enough. So we chose you, but now your mind has been blinded by the fact that Aang is training you. He is doing it cause he cares about you, and his people. For no other reason."

"LIES!" Nianzu shouted, becoming unnafraid and coming out of the vision, "If he were really helping me, he would come train me right now, and he would teach me the advanced sets!"

"Nianzu, he is doing so so you will become a great master, and for no other reason. Nianzu, you have to shape your own destiny. I cannot tell you your destiny, and you know well in your heart that taking out Aang isn't it. I am giving you a chance to help yourself Nianzu. " Gyatso explained.

Nianzu looked down to the floor, "Tell me more about these, 'Sunachi Spirits'." He ordered.

Gyatso shook his head, "I cannot. Such information is only for the Avatar, and Aang knows this well. He hasn't even told Katara of these Spirits." he explained.

"TELL ME! I WANT TO KNOW!" Nianzu shouted to the Spirit.

Gyatso thought about it for a few moments, "Make the right decision, and I will ask the Sunachi if I may speak their History." Gyatso explained, "You have until tomorrow, to make your decision. It better be the right one." As he finished, vortex of air surrounded Gyatso, as the rumbling continued he vanished back into the Spirit World.

Nianzu looked down at the floor in thought, "Decisions, Decisions." he told himself. How was he to decide? He could either embrace the truth that he was being used, or he could subside his attack and learn more about the Sumachi, the most powerful spirits in the Spirit World. It was all a big decision. He could learn information that no outsider would ever learn, or he could take out the Avatar for betraying him.

It took him a few hours to decide what was best for him, "Avatar Aang...The Sunachi will teach me more than you ever could." he said aloud, as if Avatar Aang stood before him.

Nianzu had made up his Mind, but in all

this time, he had a Master Plan to

Learn Of the Sunachi, and Take

Out Avatar Aang for his

betrayal against him.

"The Sunachi Are The Key."
