Alright here we go folks. We aren't done yet. Let me know your thoughts.

High in the sky Chelse continues to watch Asami's motionless body. "Mizu, come on, get up. You're the only one who can stop this." She says softly to herself as she thinks back to the moment all this first started.

524 years ago…in the spirit world

One year before the start of the next 50-year 5-week cycle.

Two glowing lights sit in front of a spirit portal mirror one red and one blue. They watch as Avatar Kuruk fights in an Agni Kai with a Fire Nation general.

"Are you sure you want to do this Mizu?" The Fire Essence says.

Mizu sighs. "You said I won't remember Tsuchi right? Kuruk's perfect Seika. Just look at him. He has such a zeal for life. His curiosity and desire for new horizons is as endless as the sky and the way Raava's light shines in him is beautiful. I couldn't imagine a better human companion."

Seika shakes her head and giggles. "Seriously? He's a total showoff and as bigheaded as a lion turtle. He goes through women like…well….like water."

Mizu laughs. "I see where Tsuchi gets his positive outlook from. I think he's perfect and he loves my essence like no one else I've seen." The Water Essence says moving a little closer to the mirror her light begins to fade. She runs her human hand over the top of it. "If this is the only way to help Tsuchi, then I'll do it. Does it hurt Seika? Becoming mortal?"

The Fire essence had the form of a man from the Earth Kingdom. "It's a little jarring at first, but it's exciting after that. The human senses are amazing, life becomes so small yet so big at the same time. You won't remember being an essence until you die the first time though."

"Huh, what do you mean?" Mizu asks.

"Kinda one of the rules. 'Humans can't hold the essence' the mothers say. They should have specified 'living humans' since their souls are eternal. We're immortal so when they die we merge with the part of them that's immortal and remember our essence when we wake up. They call it reincarnation." Seika smiles. "I have to say though it was a little rough on Kuki having to hold my memories though." She puts her hand on Mizu's shoulder. "How's Tsuchi with all this? I bet he's scared isn't he?"

Mizu lowers her eyes and sighs heavily. "He'll never admit it." She shakes her head. "I've never lied to him, but he won't believe me. I've told him everything, but he still thinks I just want to leave him. He's always getting on me about the physical world. Told me he's seen all he needs to. Seika I really think he's afraid of them."

"Afraid of who?"

"The humans… especially after what happened between Yangchen, Tienhai, and Old Iron; his hatred of them has gotten even worse." She looks up into Seika's eyes. "I just want him to be happy and he can't be happy being scared for me all the time. I love him so much Seika and I know he loves me too, even if he can't say it. And as much as he hates humans he can't deny how amazing they are when they're paired up and in love. He even told me that he wants to make love."

The Fire Essence raises her eyebrows. "Really? Wow…"

Mizu smirks. "Well, he said it in his own way, but I know what he meant. And I want that too; I want us to grow together, but that can't happen the way we are now. So if he won't go to the world…then I'll bring the world to him. This way he'll finally understand what I've been telling him all these millennia. I just don't want him to be afraid anymore. I want him to live and know what real love is."
