ATLA, In A Darker World

Chapter 6 Absorb

And at the entrance of the village, a large monstrous creature colored black and white slowly appeared out of thin air.

“Well, I'm screwed”.

Rawrrhhhh!

A loud roar emerged from its maw as it stood on two feet and raised its head upward.

The blue sonic wave shot straight into the sky, rolling in the air and resounded throughout the entire forest.

'Why can't I be wrong when the bad stuff happens?'

Luca's eyes widened to the extreme at the direct confirmation of his thoughts. He took two steps back from the window in fear as the spirit creature walked straight into the small village.

“Oh my .....”.

“What the hell is that thing ….”.

“... Is that?….”.

"Hei Bai”. A grave voice sounded right next to Luca's ears at that moment. He turned his gaze to see Elder Wu walking towards the window, while he was gently backing away.

“Old man …. what is this thing?”

He knew what it was, but there was no way he was going to show it.

After all, he just “lost” his memories. Sticking to the role was important for his persona.

Only at the moment did he know where he was and what was about to happen.

This old man beside him was the one who would discover Aang, Sokka and Katara in the same burned forest Luca came from and ask for their help three days from now.

“It ...... Is the spirit of this forest. The black and white spirit”.

“Ok then ...... why's it here?” He asked with a fearful tone while cussing inwardly.

Please note that it wasn't an act. Currently, he was truly scared of what might happen to him.

It was a famous saying that an unlucky person could even choke on air.

Well..... Luca wasn't sure if that was a famous saying, but he heard it more than once. He didn't want to believe he was that unlucky, but the reality of his situation was telling him otherwise.

He just had to be dropped in the village, where the spirit monster shows up and goes on a rampage.

And it wasn't even on the day when Aang arrived.

“I ..... I don't know”. The old man replied in confusion. “It doesn't usually have any intersection with the villagers. Neither does it ever come right to our .....”.

It happened then.

The old man had barely finished his words when the spirit as big as a building turned into a white blur.

Appearing at the distant house, it raised all four of its arms and struck down.

The side of the building was smashed into, causing a very loud bang.

Dust and debris flew in all directions as the wooden house scattered with a single strike.

Seeing this scene, the villagers who didn't understand what was happening fell silent for a second.

The next, panic spread.

Everyone turned around and rushed towards the largest building in this small town. The village hall.

“Elder Wu….”.

Luca opened his mouth to speak, only to close it as the old man turned around and moved towards him.
