Chapter 8 Time ?
Hello Guys, yes I know I'm 2 days late. I had a little problem with my pc. I'll try to post the next chapter tomorrow but I can't promise anything.
Since I've had no review last chapter I chose to make the demand now and the announcement later.
I've decided that this chapter will be important and normally not to short I'll see if I have enough in mind to write it all
Don't forget I'm French and I never learned English apart from at school so if I make mistakes please tell me and with compassion not hate would be good :)
And you know the deal if you think I own avatar you can either go buy a brain or leave this fiction your choice :)
"Ty Lee I love you with all my heart I thought you knew that" Zuko said
"Zuko I'm not sure you never say it you never say anything about us" She said sadly "Sometimes I think you still love Mai" she said even more sadly but murmuring this time
Zuko heard it and responded immediately : "No !" he said violently "Sorry" he said calming himself "I love you Ty Lee I love you with all my heart and I don't love Mai anymore she was my first love you are my true love" He wanted to stay evasive so that she would not have any idea about a marriage he had still the intention to keep it a secret
"Then why don't you show it to me ?" Ty Lee said while some tears began to flow down her cheek
"I'm Trying my best to not be upset by every non-attachment you share with me, I'm trying so hard to just convince myself that you love me when you don't show it." she said, while step by step she began crying more and more before adding but this time not watching him and crying for the first time since Zuko could remember. "And it is even harder to not think that you still love Mai because of all the affection you gave her when you were a couple."
"Listen My Love, and yes I say it while I can think what I am saying you are MY love, I love you more than I have ever loved anyone even Mai but with mai I was too affectionate and I end up breaking our relationship I love you so much Ty Lee that I don't want to reproduce the same mistakes that I made in the past" while he was saying that he realized that it was imperative for him to ask her now because she could not be with him long enough for him to ask she could end up by quitting him because of him once again History repeated itself so this time he decided to learn from it and took all of his courage and said "You want me to show you love ?" he said while watching her she nodded simply still not watching him "Ty Lee watch me please what I will say is important" he said while grabbing by the tip of his fingers her chin and lifted it slowly up he then took a ring from his pocket and bent a knee to ask her the question : "Ty Lee will you marry me ?"
"Katara ?" the young woman heard a male voice coming from behind her so she lifted herself up from the chair at Aang's bed to go see her brother
"Yes Sokka ? What is it ?" she asked
"You tell me, why is Aang acting so strange all of the sudden ?" The older brother asked
"Fine I will tell it once to you and once to the others. But you might want to sit down"
Katara told him everything she knew from the start to the end at the end Sokka was shocked
"So his mind was tortured for a hundred years ?" He asked she only nodded
"Hey listen sis, before you start blaming yourself you couldn't have known you did all that you could, we did all that we could to save him the fastest and you know it don't blame yourself for something you're not responsible for" Sokka said. The young boy had murished a lot since the war. He was still not very serious but thanks to his wife he became a loving brother and an understanding leader.
"You have to talk to the others about it you know that" he asked
"Yes I know it don't worry"
"Sōjōbō this is it this is the time where the plan is important Shiva will bring the avatar to his successor and break him with our little gift while you kill all his friends" Yan Wan said but he said it like it was a statement not an order
"Yes master" Sōjōbō only responded
"Shiva will do his part. It is important that you do yours if you do not, you know what the consequences are, don't you ?"
"Of course master"
"It is crucial that his friends are dead for my plan to work perfectly and you know that I cannot quit the Diyu, not for now at least. Do not fail me Sōjōbō the consequences would be terrible."
"I will not fail you master"
It was the morning when the royal Airship arrived with the 2 fiancées on board. Of course Ty Lee said yes even if she was hesitant at first not sure if it was true or not. They decided to keep for themselves their announcement for when Aang would feel better
After a warm welcome from everyone they all seated together and Ty Lee was the first one to speak. "Zuko told me that something was wrong with Aang. What is it ? Is he sick or injured ?"
Katara looked at her brother who nodded and took her hand he knew it was hard for her and even if it was also hard for him to know that his best friend, his brother in law and outside of the law had suffered all of that but he couldn't even imagine how it was for Katara and Katara began to explain
"To make it short, he was attacked by a powerful spirit that tortured his mind for a hundred years. He made him watch as all of you tortured and killed me." She said while looking away from them
"How ?" Ty Lee was still the one to talk, everyone else had not the courage to ask anything. "First, how is it possible ? And second, how can we help ? I mean you said that we all tortured you in his mind I doubt he will let us near him and even more you"
"I can confirm that" Toph spoke for the first time "He attacked us when he went back in our world because of what happened."
"I'm not sure you tortured me Ty Lee so I think that he'll not remember you because time pass differently in the spirit world so after a hundred years I'm not sure" Katara said
"LOOK OUT!" Toph screamed
All of the sudden they were all attacked by an army of spirits leaded by Sōjōbō himself they attacked the group to create a diversion for Shiva
Shiva went to Aang and woke him up "Who are you ?" the latter asked "I am Shiva the Time spirit and know that I will take no pleasure on what I am about to do to you young avatar it is my life that is in line I hope you can forgive me"
Shiva then took Aang and converged with Time itself the last vision of Aang was Katara and his first Vision was a tombstone with a name on it in capital letters : "KATARA"
Sorry, another short chapter but really important but I can't write more now it's 01:24 AM I'm exhausted so this will be it for this chapter if you can recommend me any fiction with good fight scenes and tell me where they are I would love because I'm not sure on how to write action.
PS : I promise next chapter I'll be back on ≈ 2000 words maybe more
The questions as usual :
When will Zuko and Ty Lee announce their marriage ?
What will happen to the rest of the Gaang ?
Will the plan of Yan Wan be a success ?
How will Aang react when he sees Katara's tombstone
