In starting, sorry for the long time non-updating. . . I think that I drove most of my readers away from that. Okay, um I used lots of Avatar music for it. I think that most importantly, I used the song "The Last Agni Kai" for Kuzon's area. Read and please review!

Gyatso and Kara: Prodigies of an Avatar

Chapter 23- The First Agni Kai

Breeze hit Kara of the Water Tribe's face softly as Appa flew through Kyoshi Island. She looked over at Kyoshi of the Earth Kingdom sadly. Her older cousin was going through the bittersweet realization that that trip could be the last that she would ever go to the old island. The town leader-Po- had made serious plans to block off the island so that Azula's troops couldn't get into the island and seize it. Kyoshi was the girl's home, of course she had taken turns living at her mother's homeland and her father's as well, but she seemed to fit in more in the Earth Kingdom. She had red hair-as uncommon in the Water Tribe as blue eyes are in the Fire Nation, and hazel eyes. She looked like an Earth Kingdom girl, but talked and walked like a Water Tribe princess (exactly what she was from Sokka himself being prince of the Southern Water Tribe, since Hakoda was chief of the tribe). Her shoulders were back, but not all of the way, and her feet touched the floor softly as if to test the ice to see whether or not it was frozen enough to walk on. Kyoshi fought like a Kyoshi Warrior and a Water Tribe Warrior as well. A good swordswoman she had grown to be and it would prove to be in her advantage in the future.

"Kyoshi, trust me, you will see your friends again." Topaz said out of the blue. Her light green eyes smiled as she grabbed her friend's arm softly.

"I stole you something from your old house . . . here."

Topaz took out a small roll of paper out of her dress pocket and gave it to Kyoshi. The girl unrolled the piece of paper to see a picture of her and a small boy next to her. The boy had brown hair and her same hazel eyes. He was barely two years old when the picture was painted, and Kyoshi was four years old at the time. Kyoshi covered her mouth so that she wouldn't gasp. She looked over at Topaz tearfully and wrapped her arms around her tightly.

"Thank you, Pazzie." She cried. "Oh, Mitsuo-Kazuya!"

The little boy in the boy was her brother, Mitsuo-Kazuya, meaning shining and peaceful man. The picture was drawn a couple of months before he died of polio. He was playing with Kyoshi in their Water Tribe home on a couch and his body suddenly froze. Earlier he had complained about neck pains, but put it off. By the time Sokka and Suki came to him, it was too late and his breathing muscles were freezing. The two year old died by nightfall. No one had talked of him ever since a year after his death to avoid depression and sad memories. Sokka and Suki had given up their dream of having more children and focused on Kyoshi's health.

Seeing a picture of him numbed her soul and cheered her up ironically. How much he would have loved to live this, rather than see it from above. The boy was bound to be handsome, just like his father, and even as a toddler showed high intellect and character. She missed him dearly, for he was her best friend and could talk to him about everything. For a while, she envied Gyatso and Kara for their mirroring closeness.

Kara slid over to wrap an arm around her friend and looked her friend's picture sadly. She was only three years old when the boy died and hadn't ever really thought about him. But in thinking of Mit-Kaz (an old nickname for the boy) she thought of Gyatso and her face fell.

The Boys and Rika.

It would take a long time to get to Ba Sing Sei from Omashu. The group had to restock, get new clothes and some coins. The king of course, being the nice man he was gave them three thousand copper coins (equivalent to twenty gold pieces or so) and most of all, Gyatso needed some meditation time.

The minute that they bid Omashu farewell for now, Gyatso walked into his room on the ship and froze the door to a lock. He sat down Native-American Style and made his knuckles touch together as he closed his eyes inhaling deeply. For a moment, he started to fall asleep. Peace surrounded him and comforted his soul. He suddenly forgot about the war and fighting and a high surge of energy hit him in the face. His face opened up with new eyes as he saw things that he never thought that he could see. He jumped up running out of the room to the high deck of the ship.

"You'll never believe what I just saw!"

Kara and the Gang.

It was night by the time they were even ten miles from Omashu, their desired destination. Slumber hit everyone except for Kuzon and Appa. The little boy squeezed the air-bison's fur softly as he yawned. Insomniatic he was, but tired at the same time. He looked at the sky and his grey eyes focused on the matching moon. The boy blinked and a white woman was in front of him sitting on the other side of the bison.

"You look so much like your father, little boy." The spirit smiled at him placing a finger in her curled hair.

Kuzon jumped in his seat when he saw Yue, for he had no idea who she was. Her smiles and kind nature did not fool him, surprisingly. He stood up and looked the spirit in the eye.

"I know you are not the moon." He said giving Aang's tough face a try even though he didn't know it.

Yue's face scrunched up and she turned ugly and long. A long evil laugh enveloped his ears. It was the laugh of a man-the devil he guessed and was about to say "Jesus" when the monster silenced him.

"You shouldn't move a muscle, little avatar . . . not unless you want your sister to die."

Since the monster was most certainly a spirit, Kuzon had the impression that they could hear his thoughts. My sister is right next to me! You do not scare me, spirit! Greater is He that is in me, than he that is in the world-under and over.

"Ahh!" The spirit screamed covering its ears disgustedly. "Not that little airbender, Kya."

Kya-

"Kuzon! Wake up, little brother! Look where we are!"

Alrighty now! How was that? It has been a long time so I wanted to give you guys a couple of hints about what would happen in future and current fics. Just telling you, this ends at Ba Sing Sei and the sequel kicks off in BSS as well.

Question: What spirit in the series is long, evil, and monsterous? You tell me.

God Bless,

P.S.-Katara's mother's name was Kya. . .
