Hi everyone, another quick thing, if you haven't seen Phantom of the Opera or heard this song, look up "Why Have You Brought Me Here/Raoul I've Been There" on youtube. Plus this chapter is kind of short.
Aang grabbed Katara by the waist and took out his glider is his other hand. Katara hung on to his neck while he put his arms on the glider and flung himself and Katara upwards toward the balcony of the opera house. Aang kept questioning Katara and trying to calm her at the same time. But Katara was only concentrating on how Zuko might kill everyone for her.
Why have you brought me here
Aang questioned/sang (to her) but Katara in panic sang back and then Aang sang the next verse
Can't go back there
We must return
Katara shuddered at the next thought in her head
He'll kill you
His eyes will find us there
Aang tried to calm her down while she sang, but it wasn't working
Katara don't say that
Those eyes that burn
Don't even think it
If he has to kill a thousand men
Forget this waking nightmare
The Firebender of the Opera will kill and kill again
This man is a fable
Believe me
There is no Firebender of the Opera
Now Katara began to question herself with Aang singing every second line
My God who is this man
My God who is this man
Who hunts to kill
This mask of death
I can't escape from him
Whose is this voice you hear
I never will
With every breath
They sang together
And in this labyrinth
Where night is blind
The Firebender of the Opera
Is here
Inside your/my mind
They were now on the balcony. The balcony had stone statues of bison, moose-lion(s), and dragons and it was snowing. But Katara wasn't shivering from the cold and Aang wouldn't stop trying to convince Katara that she was safe.
There is no Firebender of the Opera
But Katara decided to tell Aang the story through her eyes
Aang I've been there
To his world of unending night
To a world where the daylight dissolves into darkness
Darkness
Aang I've seen him
Can I ever forget that sight
Can I ever escape from that face
So distorted deformed
It was hardly a face in that darkness
Darkness
She felt as though a force was pulling her all around the balcony and as she walked she sang:
But his voice filled my spirit with a strange sweet sound
In that night there was music in my mind
And through music my soul began to soar
And I heard as I'd never heard before
Aang cautiously took a few steps toward(s) Katara and then stopped.
What you heard was a dream and nothing more
Katara stood glued to the spot, but continued singing:
Yet in his eyes all the sadness of the world
Those pleading eyes that both threaten and adore
Aang called out her name and then walked over to her
Katara
Katara
Then a mysterious whisper came through the air and the only one who heard it was Katara
Katara
That voice belonged to none other than the Firebender of the Opera who was standing behind a statue of a dragon nearest to them. And he could see and hear everything that was going on right now.
