trial and error (avatar the last airbender x male firebender oc)

a fools trade

(Kirai POV)

Mother. She always been a beacon to her children except maybe azula. Even then she was always there for us, even the weeks after the ritual I've committed that sacrificed my eye. Even when I felt a change within myself.

But then something happened, mother.

She left.

No words were said about why or how she left, she didn't even say goodbye.

-----‐---------------------------------------------------

Following the event of mother leaving life began to change, Father became firelord as our grandfather passed in his sleep, Zuko became more quiet while Azula became even more ruthless. And me, Father simply told me to be quiet and never bother him or cause any disturbances like with my experiment.

I took it to heart and start leaving the Palace in search of a lab, somewhere for me to conduct my experiments as I find my bedroom is no longer viable.

My search has proved fruitless as I have yet to find somewhere that fits my quota for a lab. I have deemed the fire nation as unsuitable for a laboratory of my own so I must set sail to the other nations. But how? There no way father whould just let me go. I gotta think. I gotta return to the Palace and to my room.

After my father took the throne I have sentenced to the insane asylum of the Palace AKA the west wing.

My room has changed as I moved all my research into the spirit world from my walls to a box under my bed.

As I take a seat on my bed my head starts ringing

"Ugh what the hell?"

I fall as I feel myself losing consciousness soon everything turned black.

I awake in an unfamiliar environment.

"Ugh where am i?"

I look around and notice iam not in my room or anyplace that seems familiar I was in a forest with bright green grass underneath me when suddenly I heard a deep voice from the shadows.

"Kirai, the human who dared to summon a spirit of unrivaled power to go beyond your human limits and sacrifice your soul."

I look around trying to find the voice as all my instincts told me to get the fuck out of here.

"How do you know who I am. And how do you know about the ritual?!"

I say doing a spin trying to pinpoint the location of the stranger.

"Simple. I am amatarasu the spirit who you summoned."

The spirit showed himself as a tall man with an oni mask and flaming hair with blood coated amor weilding two katanas on each hip.

He slowly walked to me each step making my survival instincts go wild.

I look at him and take a step back I decide it's best not to test such a powerful spirit.

"Woah, um for what purpose have you summoned me?"

I say going on one knee to the all mighty spirit.

"You have sold me your soul and so I am in control as you are in my debt for that eye."

As he says that I feel a warm thick red liquid start flowing down my left eye. I moan in pain and cover my hand as the spirit watched.

He continued to speak as I attempt to regain my composure.

"You now have a task that you must complete to reclaim your soul."

He motions with his hand as a bright red fire lights in his hand.

Is that my soul?

He says with a booming voice as I look up to him.

"W-w-whats the task?"

I say rubbing away the blood as to not show weakness infront of the spirit.

He takes another step closer to me as I felt everything shift as fire was summoned as was water, air and the earth symbolizing the four elements. The fire was overwhelming the other elements.

"Restore balance among the elements and then and only then can you have your sound back!"

He closes his fist as the fire goes out.

He says narrowing his eyes at me.

"And how am I supposed to do that iam not the avatar!"

I say getting up from my knee and taking a step closer to him.

"KNEEL!"

suddenly I felt as if the entire world fell on my shoulders as I was forced onto my knee once again.

I groan as I fell in pain.

He resumed talking as I was forced into my knee.

"Soon the avatar shall be awakened and then your misson will be in motion."

My eyes widen in shock at his words.

"T-the avatar?"

Suddenly a grin came onto my face.

"I have heard from the others about your thirst for knowledge and how it has broken your mind"

He says As he takes a scroll from his sleeve.

"I'll throw you a bone. Every deed you preform to restore balance I shall grant you knowledge that none of your human libraries cannot even phantom."

I let out a gasp.

"Really? I mean I accept your proposal"

"Good now your tools shall be found infront of you when you wake and soon enough the time will come where you will need to dawn the mask..."

Confused I look up at him as the world seems to crumble I try to stand but once again forced on my knee as he walks away from me.

"Restore the balance, or destroy it, either way your task shall be conpleted......"

-----------------------------

I wake up from my journey to see infront of my were a set of blood rusted amor and two katanas completing the set was an oni mask on top of the pile.

"What did I just get myself into"
