Book II: Spirits

Chapter III: Civil War of Water and Mind

Two days, two days he's been out and this is what he has to deal with? Wan barges into Unalaq's throne room, opening the large doors with his airbending. The doors close back with their own weight. Unalaq sits in the dark, awaking from his meditations. "Wan, you're awake."

"Northern troops are in the Southern water tribe's land!?" Wan thunders, and his voice echoes throughout the palace. Unalaq is taken aback by this new tone. "I am their chief. I'm uniting, not invading."

"Well, we have very different views on uniting. Last time I checked, an army equals war," Wan sasses as he points at the chief accusingly, "You are not telling me the whole truth, are you? I've kept myself silent about you but no more!"

Unalaq stands from his throne, "Tell me, Wan, why did you collapse after opening the portal?" Wan hisses, as he takes a step forward, "As if I'll tell you, I don't trust you-"

"And," Unalaq interrupts him, "Are you really an Avatar?"

Wan gasps and looks up and down at him with disdain. "I can bend all four elements!" He retorts, Unalaq hums then walks down the steps. "True, but that is not enough to verify, besides, never in history have there been two Avatars." Unalaq circles around him, Wan glares at him, clenching his teeth.

"Who's the fraud? The one who is born to it or the one who appears out of thin air?" Wan clenches his fists, as Unalaq continues his interrogation. "I am very suspicious of you," Unalaq continues, "If you can't handle the energy of the portals, what makes me so sure you are truly an Avatar and not some mentally ill man who can hear and see things?"

Wan's eyes are downcast, he clenches them, ignoring everything that the older man throws at him, yet he is slowly starting to believe it.

"However, I have my suspicions of you. I'm sad to tell you that your memory loss... is permanent. I tried to find anything I could to help you by talking to the spirits, but it's gone-"

"No! I saw something, I saw me!" Wan clenches his shirt at his chest, Unalaq deeply sighs, "It's only an illusion, you were seeing things. I'm afraid you have gone mad."

"I saw it, you're lying!" Unalaq sits back on his throne, "I suppose, you need time to reflect on this, I'm afraid no one can help you." Wan turns away and walks out of the throne room, but before he exits, he hears one final thing from Unalaq. "And if your memories are unrecoverable, then you might have committed a past sin to the spirits and this is their punishment for you."

He walks out, then runs as fast as his feet can take him. He runs to the hill in the far east, then he begins to break down weeping, hugging his knees, and he stays there for a couple of hours. He doesn't believe Unalaq, but the chief made it seem so real.

"Wan?"

Wan doesn't know how long it's been, but he wipes his tears dry and sniffles, "I'm okay." Of course a lie. Korra sighs, sitting next to the male Avatar. "You're not."
