Untold Story

~5~

I walked in a empty abyss, the ground below me had light no matter where I walked the light follows. I looked around the abyss I saw nothing beside me but looking forward I saw two images of me, one was Waterbending the other Firebending. vivid images of both, neither of them felt like me. I continued to walk down the path soon the images faded when they were at my sides, looking behind me I didn't see them either.

Looking in front of me I saw more images of me Waterbending and boiling the water, one could stop lighting and redirect it. nothing I could ever do as a Waterbender, I saw an image of me able to do both. I stopped and looked at the image as it played out all one fluid motion as I was able to both. fire kick turning into a blast of water taking down the opponent one unstoppable force, of course I was in awe at this even thought I know I wasn't able to achieve such power no one ever could but the avatar.

In this image I didn't bend all four, I didn't even bend earth just water and fire. I saw a new image in place of that one, me using fire as energy reading a rare ability, said to be the truly spiritual level of fire bending, not everyone could achieve this ability not even Iroh.

the picture faded and a spirt I didn't recognize or know what to call it, it was blue and tiny, never touching the ground. the top of it's head was a small like flame, no feet, no arms. then turned away.

I woke up, the dream I had was weird. I sat up and froze the water over and looked at my reflection. I didn't look that good honestly, exhausted, I turned the water back to a liquid then changed into my normal wear and left my room.

I walked down the corodor walking up to the open area, I wanted to feel the cold-ish air but all i felt was uncomfortable heat. no heat source around me. "Roura you don't look ok, how are you feeling?" Iroh asked walking up to me. I coughed away from him, "being out in a storm does no one good, go lay down it will help," he said.

"I feel fine Iroh," I reassured, but I was lying, and he didn't looked convinced. "I'll be ok even if I am sick, it dosen't affect me much," I continued.

"please get some rest, you'll feel better once your off your feet," he insisted. he was honestly right, no use in fighting it. I walked back to my room I saw Zuko moving my way.

"Hey," I said and coughed a little bit.

"You ok?" He asked.

"Just a little sick, Iroh insisted that I rest up," I said and he nodded.

"This came to us while you were gone," Zuko said and handed me a scroll with the water tribe symbol on the casing. I opened it and read it.

'Roura, I am surprised to read what was written to the royal family, and I am sorry to say but your mother died a long time ago, my younger sister. I do not know who you were writing to clearly not me, and I am sorry to hear that your with the fire nation assisting the prince of the firenation in his travels. All I can do is wish you luck on your journey and hope you find your true path.'

"What?" I said surprised and rather confused.

"Everything ok?" He asked.

"No apparently my mother died along time ago," I said, I coughed.

"we'll figure it out later get some rest," he said and I rolled up the letter and went to my room. I closed the door and went to make my room colder, I felt like I was boiling up. I felt dizzy I couldn't keep my balance and collapsed on the cold mettle ship.

I woke up eventually I looked around I was in my own room Jee was there, "your awake," he said.

"what happened?" I asked I still felt slightly dizzy.

"you collapsed, and crazy for going out in that storm with not even a plan," he said I sighed. "here drink this it'll combat your illness," he continued.

"you and Zuko both said that going toward you guy's in that storm was crazy," I said and sat up a little and had some tea.

"because you are but, were lucky to have you still around your a decent fighter, hand to hand combat and with water, get better training is still around noon," Jee said then left my room closing the door behind him. I just find my self combating with my place in the war, what Aang said and his group was true. I just wanted all this fighting to stop, but who side do I want to win? I kept asking my self all these question's while I sat alone in my room drinking the tea that was left for me.

Everything I know the place I grew up in was the fire nation, but I never felt like I belonged to them. I wasn't blind to what they were deluding there subject's to believe but I stuck by there side anyway. I ask my self this question every day but it didn't seem to matter that much till I was with there group as there 'captive', Now I ask 'which side do I fight for?' 'I'm not like them I see what's wrong, I should have left long ago, why didn't I? why did I stay when I feel like I'm fighting on the wrong side of the war?'

Sorry this took so long, but two thing's came up some writer's block and School, Exam's came up around January and I have to be a little ahead of schooling for the 2nd half of the school year, preparing for graduation suck's.

But I hope this chapter was worth the wait it's not as long as the past few chapter's. I wanted this to be out faster but quality is better then just putting out chapter's half~assly.
