I wake up gasping and wheezing for air.
"Are you okay?" hot stuff asked.
I looked up shocked at who I was staring at.
"You?!" I gasp, getting up prepared to fight.
"I'm not going to hurt you," hot stuff says raising his hands up in defeat.
I lower my stance. "Ugh! Why does it feel like I've been hit with a block of ice?"
"About that," hot stuff says rubbing the back of his neck.
"I don't even want to know," I say looking around.
"Where are we?- Aang!" I say running over to the monk, shaking him.
"He's in avatar state don't even bother." Hot stuff says.
I sigh knowing he's right. I sit back on the cold ground.
"What's your name?" hot stuff asked sitting next to me.
"Soul." I reply resting my head on his shoulder.
I know he just captured Aang and I or whatever but for some reason I felt comfortable with him.
"Soul," hot stuff repeats. "That's a lovely name for a lovely girl."
I laugh. "You trying to flirt with me right now hot stuff?"
He lets out a chuckle. "Zuko."
"Huh?" I perk, lifting my head off his shoulder.
"My name is Zuko."
"Nice to know hot stuff," I say resting my head back on his shoulder.
"What's your story?" I ask.
"Story?" Zuko says resting his head on top of mine.
"Yeah, story. Everyone has one."
"Where should I begin."
*ΰ³ΰΌ *ΰ³ΰΌ *ΰ³ΰΌ
"Woah." I say comprehending everything Zuko had told me.
"So you're trying to capture Aang for your honour, you're a banished Prince, and your father burnt you for not fighting back in an agni kai?" I say only repeating the important information Zuko had just told me.
"Yeah." Zuko sighs.
"I'm so sorry." I say gently placing my hand on his scarred cheek.
He grabs my wrist gently, leaning his head into my palm.
"Huh?! Grrr!"
Zuko and I turn our heads to see Aang struggling to get out the ropes Zuko wrapped him up in.
"Welcome back," Zuko greets, standing in front of Aang.
"Good to be back," Aang replies narrowing his eyes at Zuko.
"Soul?!" Aang gasps noticing me. "He's got you too?!"
Aang then blows a strong wind at Zuko slamming him into the wall.
"Hop on." Aang says motioning his eyes for me to sit on his lap.
I shrug and sit on his lap.
We blow out of the cave, falling into the snow.
Aang begins to squirm like a worm trying to get out the ropes.
"That won't be enough to escape," Zuko says grabbing Aang by his shirt.
"Grrrr." We hear something roar in the sky.
"Appa!" Aang and I both yell.
Zuko throws Aang to the ground.
"Woah!"
Here for a rematch," Zuko says getting in a fighting stance.
"Trust me Zuko, it's not going to be much of a match." Katara rising the snow from under us, turning it into water.
Zuko proceeds to throw flames at Katara.
Katara then froze Zuko into the air slamming him back down, knocking him out quickly.
"That's one way to do it." I say running over to Yue.
"Soul!" Yue says about to get off Appa to hug me.
"Soul!" Sokka says pushing Yue out the way to run towards me.
"I missed you," Sokka says squeezing me into a hug.
"Did you really?" I smile, burying my face into his chest.
"Of course!" He shouts. "I was worried sick."
"Little help here!" Aang says interrupting Sokka and I's little reunion.
"This is some quality rope," Sokka says cutting Aang free.
"We need to get to the oasis, the spirits are in trouble," Aang says as him and Sokka run over to Appa.
I gesture to Zuko. "Wait! we can just leave him here,"
"Sure we can," Sokka says in an annoyed tone. "Let's go."
"No, Soul's right, if we leave him here he'll die." Aang grabs Zuko and puts him on Appa.
"Yeah, this makes a lot of sense, let's bring the guy who's constantly trying to kill us." Sokka complains, but everyone ignores him.
"Ugh." Yue groans putting her hands on her temples.
"Are you ok?" Sokka asks, placing his hand on Yue's back.
"I feel faint." Yue replies.
"I feel it too," we all turn our gaze to Aang. "The moons spirit is in trouble."
"I owe the moon spirit my life," Yue says.
"What do you mean?" Sokka asks.
"When I was born, I was very sick and very weak, most babies cry when they're born, but I was born as if I were asleep, my eyes closed. Our healers did everything they could, they told my mother and father I was going to die. My father pleaded with the spirits to save me. That night beneath the full moon he brought me to the oasis and placed me into the pond, my dark hair turned white, I opened my eyes and began to cry and they knew I would live, that's why my mother named me Yue for the moon."
Everyone remand silent.
"What about you Soul?" Sokka whispered in my ear. "Why is your hair so dark from Yue's? Should I mention you're also a firebender."
I sigh. "I don't really know, Sokka." I tur around to look at Zuko's passed out body.
I played with his ponytail.
He's really gotta cut this thing I say to myself, looks like an ostrich horse tail.
We land at the oasis.
"Zhao the moon slyer, Zhao the invincible-ahh!"
Momo jumps on the man known as Zhao.
"Get it off!" He yells at his soldiers.
Momo flies away landing on Aang.
Everyone stands in a fighting position.
"Don't bother," Zhao says pulling out a bag with the moon spirit in it, ready to punch it.
"Zhao don't," Aang says putting his hands up in surrender.
"It's my destiny to destroy the moon and the water tribe," Zhao replies.
Who even is this man?
"Destroying the moon won't just hurt the water tribe it will hurt everyone..including you," Aang states. "Without the moon everything would fall out of balance, you have no idea what kind of chaos that would unleash on the world."
"He's right Zhao." Says an old man in a cloak.
"General Iroh, why am I not surprised to discover your treachery."
"I'm no traitor Zhao, the Fire Nation needs the moon too, we all depend on the balance," Iroh says. "Whatever you do to that spirit, I'll unleash on you tenfold! Let it go now!"
Oh he's badass I think to myself. Am I simping over an old man, ppft no.
Zhao then kneels down on the ground letting the spirit back into the pond.
"Ayah!" Zhao shouts, letting out a stream of fire killing the moon spirit.
Everything felt like it was going in slow motion.
Iroh then attacked Zhaos' men but Zhao was no where to be found in the oasis.
Everything went dark.
"There's no hope now," Yue cries leaning into Sokka. "It's over."
Aang goes Avatar mode on us, lighting up the oasis, we all stare in awe as he turns into a huge glowing monster.
You don't see that everyday.
We all stand at the pond, mourning over the spirit.
Iroh stares at Yue raising his eyebrow. "You have been touched by the moon spirit, some of it's life is in you."
"Yes, you're right, it gave me life, maybe I can give it back." Yue says standing up.
I tilt my head. "What do you mean, Yue?"
"You don't have to do that," Sokka says grabbing her hand.
"It's my duty Sokka."
"I won't let you," Sokka replies. "Your father told me to protect you."
"I have to do this." Yue says letting go of Sokka's hand and touching the spirit.
The spirit began to glow.
And Yue fainted.
I quickly caught her before she hit the ground.
"She's gone," I tear up. "She's gone." I hug her tighter.
Her body then disappeared in my arms.
We all gasp.
Iroh lays the spirit into the pond.
The pond glows revealing Yue in a beautiful white dress.
"Goodbye Sokka, I'll always be with you," Yue says leaning in and giving Sokka a quick but sweet kiss. She pulls away floating next to me.
"Soul, you're very special. I know you've been wondering why you could firebend and why you think you're adopted, but you're the Sun Spirit," She says cupping my cheeks.
I let out a sniffle. "The what spirit?"
"Soul, join Aang and defeat the Firelord, I'll always be with you." Yue says kissing my cheek and disappearing.
Sokka wraps his arms around my body.
The moon was now back in the place as we all stared up at Yue.
Sokka's P.O.V
"The spirits gave me a vision when Yue was born, I saw a beautiful brave young woman become the moon spirit, I knew this day would come." Chief Arnook says.
"You must be proud."
"So proud and sad. But Soul, oh oh oh my poor little baby she's all I have now," Chief says.
I look up at him, tears slipping down his face.
"She's the bravest."
"Yes she is." Arnook says letting out a little chuckle.
"Can..she..um come with us?" I stutter.
Chief Arnook looks at me. "It's up to her." He responds.
Aang, Katara, and I all reunite to look at the moon again after what had just happened yesterday.
"Don't forget about me!" I hear someone yell.
I knew who that voice belonged to.
I turn around and saw Soul. I couldn't help but smile.
"You've decided to come," Aang smiles.
"Yeah." Soul replies.
I could tell she didn't get any sleep last night, her puffy eyes and red nose. She still managed to look beautiful as always.
I pull Soul in my arms as Momo, Appa, Aang, Katara and I watch the moon in silence.
