Katara stared up at the spirit trying to take all of this information in.
"Wait if this necklace was part of the web, why is it a mirror when you said the web is made of strings?"
"That my dear is the beauty of spirit world magic. Your necklace is the only of its kind and the only one that ever will be."
"Well if it is that valuable then I don't want it."
"NO! You must keep this necklace it is your connection to me, your mother, anyone in the realm of the dead. Also it lets you see your loved ones like the boy in the hospital bed, or your brother. The difference between the two connections is that the connection with the living is one way only you can see the person, with me I can contact you and with anyone in the realm of the dead you can se them and they can see you but you cannot talk with them you can only talk with me and only you can use this mirror. Katara you must take this necklace." Hei- Bai said with urgency.
"Why did you give it to me, I can't accept this, my friend Aang he would be a much better choice for this." Katara replied humbly.
"That, that there my child is why I am giving it to you, you are humble, your friend he is selfish if we gave this to him he would take it and show it off, but you, you will take it and not show anyone I can trust you."
"No, don't trust me to many people trust me, I was the one who got into that crash I was the only one that didn't get hurt, I was stupid and selfish, and I just can't take it anymore."
"Katara, my child, this is not a responsibility it is help." Kya said.
Katara had forgotten her mother was there. Katara had been so focused on the necklace and why she didn't need it, she didn't think to ask her mother what she thought.
"So, you think I should take it."
"Yes Katara I do, you need this, you need us with you. I know you can make your own decisions and they usually are good ones but you need us."
"Okay I'll take it but…"
"Stop asking questions I am not done."
"One more and then I'll stop."
"Fine, go ahead."
"I the necklace made of the strings of people who have passed on or did people die to make this?"
"That is the beauty of this necklace it is made of your string and one other's, I believe you know him, his name is Zuko Ryu."
Katara gasped she knew she was in love with Zuko, but what did this mean, did he love her even though she almost killed him and all of their friends.
"It is an extraordinary necklace, it means you and your soul mate are both strong enough to give part of your lives for this, but the interesting thing is that when this made the two your strings were not intertwined. Well they were but later on in the string when we took some of your string is broke two and connected two yours making it twice as strong. Your strings connected and turned silver for the course of where we took the string and then went back to their original colors."
"Really?" Katara said looking into the necklace with pride because of what he had said. "So … what does this mean?"
"Well I think because his broke when we didn't touch his just yours, whatever happens to one of you happens to the other, for instance when you lost your mother he lost his, in a different way his mother was abused by his father and one day it was too much for her, so she killed herself."
"Wow,… I never knew that I just thought she died of cancer or in a car crash or something. I never knew,… why didn't he tell me?"
"He hasn't gotten over it yet."
Katara looked into the mirror and thought about Zuko and he appeared on the mirror sleeping peacefully, she wanted to see what everyone was doing, the mirror zoomed out to show everyone huddled around the bed next to his with her body on the bed. While she was watching her and Zuko's hands slowly shifted towards each other's and connected, when their hands touched Zuko woke up.
"Hei- Bai, do you have anything else to tell me?" Katara blurted out suddenly.
"Yes I think Zuko might be able to use the mirror two if he can let him see his mother again but he is the only one who might be able to use the mirror besides you."
"You said I can talk to you but not any one in the realm besides that."
"This is correct."
"Could you talk to the people in the realm for me if I talk to you and tell me what they say when I leave?"
"Yes."
"Good because I want to go back but I still want to talk to my mother, so could you do that for me?"
"Yes of course child, now I do believe it is time for you to go he is waiting."
"Goodbye mom, I'll talk to you soon okay?" Katara said beginning to cry.
"I love you and always will please tell Sokka if you can and your father." Kya replied crying too.
"Okay I'm ready to go now, Hei-Bai."
"Good this won't hurt you at all I will be seeing you soon, Katara."
Everything faded to black.
