Sorry people! My computer was really slow but I managed to get this chapter done. YAY ME!!! And when I say FOTO, I mean Firebender of the Opera. NOW LET'S READ......

As the mysterious firebender led Katara down the dark halls, Katara became on entranced by him. He was young and handsome, his voice was like an angel's, and he was calm. He was also carrying fire in th palm of his hand which amazed Katara. She felt music in her head and began to start singing:

In sleep he sang to me

In dreams he came

That voice which calls to me

And speaks my name

And do I dream again

For now I find

The Firebender of the Opera is there

Inside my mind

The young man led Katara over to a dragon and helped her on it. He was now on his dragon with Katara holding his waist.

Sing once again with me

Our strange duet

My power over you

Grows stronger yet

And though you turn from me

To glance behind

The Firebender of the Opera is there

Inside your mind

As they came closer and closer to reaching his lair, the man stopped the dragon, jumped down and brought Katara down. They then stepped into a boat in a small lake and suddenly Katara knew what she had to do. She stood up and started to waterbend the water away from their path as she sang.

Those who have seen your face

Draw back in fear

I am the mask you wear

The man joined in…

It's me they hear

They then sang together…

Your/My spirit and my/your voice

In one combined

The Firebender of the Opera is there/here

Inside your/my mind

Candles rose out of the water, a gate opened and the firebender kept rowing as Katara continued to waterbend and sing

He's there

The Firebender of the Opera

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (Sing my angel of music)

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (Sing my angel)

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (Sing for me)

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (Sing my angel)

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (Sing for me)

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

As the boat stopped on an interesting pile of land Katara noticed that this creative place was full of arts: singing music, dancing, a small stage with figures of people, a piano/organ, paints, costumes, drawings and mirrors. Katara was amazed that a man such as her angel could be an amazing arts tutor for her.

As the firebender stepped onto the land, he put on his black cloak.

I have brought you

To the seat of sweet music's throne

To this kingdom where all must pay homage to music

Music

You have come here for one purpose, and one alone

Since the moment I first heard you sing

I have needed you with me to serve me to sing for my music

My music

Katara just stared in wonder at this creature. He had an astonishing voice and yet mysterious side to himself as well as a beautiful side. For moments they just stared then Zuko smiled and sang as he slowly mad his way toward her.

Nighttime sharpens

Heightens each sensation

Darkness stirs

And wakes imagination

Silently the senses

Abandon their defenses

He held out his hand to her a second time

"Don't be afraid!" he whispered

Katara took his hand and he gently pulled her out of the boat and helped her walk to where he was. All the while she was staring into his eyes dreamily and yet wondering who could this creature be?

"Please…Who are you?" she shakily asked

"Shhh!" he whispered putting a finger to her lips which made her shiver "I will not harm you, I promise!" he took his finger off of her lips

Slowly gently night unfurls its splendor

Grasp it sense it tremulous and tender

Turn your face away

From the garish light of day

Turn your thoughts away from cold unfeeling light

And listen to the music of the night

He let go of her hand and leaped around his small figure set and sang louder and clearer and then softened on the third lyric.

Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dream

Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before

Close your eyes let your spirit start to soar

And as Katara closed her eyes, she felt her soul relax as the young man held the note. Then she softly opened her eyes and gave a small, but nervous smile as he continued.

And you'll live as you've never lived before

Softly deftly music shall caress you

Hear it feel it secretly posses you

Open up your mind

Let your fantasies unwind

In this darkness that you know you cannot hide

The darkness of the music of the night

Let your mind start a journey through a strange new world

Leave all thoughts of the life you knew before

Let your soul take you where you long to be

Only then can you belong to me

The young firebender carefully and gracefully walked over to Katara who was already under his spell and let him do whatever he wanted with her. He wound one arm around her waist pressing her back to his chest and took her hand and put it to his face. Katara's eyes closed and her emotions broke away from her.

Floating falling

Sweet intoxication

Touch me, trust me

Savor each sensation

He then released her but still held her hand and kissed it. As he walked he felt her hand shaking but he would stop that soon enough.

Let the dream begin

Let your darker side give in

To the power of the music that I write

The power of the music of the night

Katara smiled at the firebender, who pulled away a curtain revealing a dummy made of clay in a brunette wig and sleeveless cream-colored wedding dress with a veil, and it had all of Katara's exact features. Katara was so shocked and amazed that she fainted. But luckily someone was there to catch her. As the man picked up her body, he noticed that she was so serene, even in her sleep. He carried her to a bed in the shape of a dragon with red sheets and set her down and caressed her face.

You alone can make my song take flight

Help me make the music of the night

As he held the last note for as long and beautifully as he could, he stepped away from the bed and pulled down the black satin curtains for his beautiful waterbending student to sleep in peace.
