The fire war renaissance

Chapter 64: Effects

(peeks from behind wall) Is anyone still there? Eh, probably not. But, if anyone is still there I'm back! Yes, I know I was out for quite a while, in my defense my life has been a huge mess of busy, depressing, and all around stressful crap lately, but I'm pretty much done with my homework and on the downside of my other mandatory demands, so why not get this chapter up and running. It's been sitting almost finished in my computer since forever ago, but I really just had no time to finish it.

And even though my promises are always subject to change, my plan is to update every week until the story is finished. There's only five more chapters left, so yes..that's the plan. For now, anyways.

Alright guys, this was supposed to be the huge epic finale to part six, but one of the problems I had with this chapter was it was simply becoming much too long. Like past 7,000 words long, and it just seemed to be running too long for a decent chapter structure, so I cut it in half. So, next chapter will be the huge action-ish chapter and the last of part six.

Which, of course, means only the final five chapters of the epilogue part 7 remain. We're almost there…the end we all thought would ever come.

But, in all seriousness, these next two chapters are the end of spiritual/natural disaster plotline and I wanted to make sure this turned out believable and satisfying, but this chapter is mostly (again) buildup.

Uh, okay, enough of that, onwards!

Chapter Sixty-Four: Effects

"Avatar Aang, what a pleasant surprise." Was the cheeky and rather fake greeting Aang, Katara, Iroh, and Azula received by Commander Hazuki when he realized an airship was requesting a landing on Republic Island.

The air was thick there on the island and smelled like the air that charged right before a thunder storm. Aang was surprised he hadn't realized it the first time he was at the tower—the energy the place seemed to emit. But he supposed it could've been because Hazuki and Gan Mo were becoming savvier with their creation. Certainly, there were more commercial airships flying around, and air traffic needed perfectly timed and sent Mo Code to make sure no accidents would happen. The same went for all the locomotives, steamboats, and even the different telephones being used all over the world all routed back to the Tower Republic. Even the antenna above seemed a little more rusted, as if it were getting too much of a work out.
