Legend of Gyawa: Book One - Water ✔️

Chapter Fifteen: The Siege of the North, Part 2

Aww, I remember the spirit world, weird. That was almost all I could think when I was there. "You've come to me, with a new face." Koh the face stealer said, to me as we spoke about the spirits. I showed no emotions, mainly because I already knew, and because my face would be gone forever. *shiver* Hai Bai lead me out and my eyes opened to see my body wasn't there anymore. Only Momo.

"Momo! Now where's my body?" As I asked this it took me to the cave Zuko and my body where. (I know what that sounds like.)

I groaned from the cold and the spiritual stuff, my whole body crappie, my fingers frozen.

"Welcome back." Zuko turned to me, I didn't say anything, just enjoyed the moment of that gorgeous face. His eyes so perfectly shaped, everything was mastered.

Zuko sighed turning back to the blizzard outside. "I finally have you. But I can't get you home because of this blizzard. There's always something. Not that you would understand."

I could hear the frustration in Zuko's soft yet rough voice, like every word he said he wanted to scream.

"You always say I don't understand. I might if you let me." My suggestion wasn't the best thing for him, but I was concern. When he looked hurt I merely wanted to help him, fixed his problems, when someone I cared about was in danger I had to help them. It was just in my character.

The Prince looked over his shoulder like I wouldn't be able to be of his trust. As his golden eye saw I was truthful he scoffed, almost in disbelief. "Your like my sister." Zuko held his hands to his mouth, keeping them warm. "Everything always came easy to her, she's a Fire Bending prodigy. Everyone adores her. My father says she was born lucky, he says I was lucky to be born." The cold hurt hidden in this boy was only prominent to me.

I was a little stunned however, I didn't think he'd open up like that. But I knew what to say. "That's just... cruel. I'm sorry, Zuko." I did really feel that way when I first heard his horrible story, so much pain and worst of all betrayal and disappointment.

Zuko closed his eyes and fisted his loan hands, holding back the rage and fright. "I don't need luck though, I don't want it. I've always had to struggle and fight, and that's made me strong. It's made me who I am."

"I know it doesn't mean much coming from me, but everyone needs someone to lean on. Even you." I almost whispered these words. "You'll find that person, maybe you already have that one." I thought of Iroh, so valuable.

Zuko looked at me in the eyes, he seemed stunned by them. I felt a sharp cold shiver in my spin, not from the weather but by the way Zuko looked at me. His eyes worn't furious, or confused, but like dust cleaned of a crystal. Now it was beautiful, bright, colorful, and peaceful. I saw so many emotions and thoughts running in Zuko's mind, I doubt I was any less expressive. "Guess, we'll be here awhile." Zuko stated, to knock both of us back in the moment.

Not to long later we heard a groan, but not just any old groan, it was Appa.

They landed and came running to the cave.

"Here for a rematch?" Zuko growled, taking his stance.

"Trust me, Zuko, it's not going to be much of a match." Katara said, as she made a ball of snow and threw it at Zuko. It was powerful enough to knock him out.

"Hey this is some quality rope." Sokka smiled, cutting it, I quickly got up and grabbed Zuko.

"We have to get to the oasis, now. I'll explain on the way." I said, as I started dragging him by his hands.

"What are you doing!?" Sokka almost shouted.

"We can't just leave him here." I growled.

"Sure we can. Let's go."
