The Next Avatar

Taeyong = Zulee?

🌪

Let us all welcome the Avatar!"
The crowd below erupted into cheers and applause as Karr, and the rest of the group entered from the balcony above.

Karr smiled as he looked down to the mass of people below. All cheering and calling out for his name. It felt good!

But there was always an uneasy feeling he had every time. He knew that he wasn't important, but he loved it. He wondered if the real Avatar is out there, watching him, ready to expose him and take over. He hoped that the Avatar isn't going to take him down because Karr took his place.

"Hello, everyone! I am here to protect you all." He said with a somewhat shaky voice. His nerves were acting up, as he felt someone put a hand on his shoulder, and another hold his hand.

He first looked to his hand and saw that the princess was the holding it, he looked at Weng, which she didn't return. She kept looking forward, but a blush crept on to her cheeks.

Karr then looked his shoulder, and found Hong. The seemingly calm cool and collected Earth bender noticed this. Hong turned to look at Karr, and locked eyes with the older.

Hong smiled, squeezed Karr's shoulder a bit, and soon let it go. Karr looked away quickly, a warmth spreading from his ears to his cheeks. Why is he feeling this way? He's acting like how Weng acted around him. What does this mean?

Soon the festival began. The fireworks and water shows scattered the place below. Karr marveled at the scene. So many events were taken place at once, and it was all for him. Well, all for the Avatar.

He looked around to the group, who wore the same smile he did while watching the performances. All of them except for Hana.

Hana seemed as if she just saw a ghost. She didn't, but she did see something. Towards the beginning of the festival, she began to feel dizzy. She closed her eyes, but found herself in a different place.

"Hello?" She called out, "Is anyone here?"

"Hana" a voice called behind her. Hana turned around to see a young woman with bobbed hair.

"A-Avatar Korra?" Hana questioned. The woman, Korra, smiled. I have finally been able to contact you from here. There is something I need to warn you of."

Hana stepped closer, "What is it?"

Korra began to explain "A war will break out soon." She began, but Hana sighed, as she already knew.

Hana huffed, "I know, I was tortured because of it. And, yes, I know I'm the one who has to stop it. I have a great team with me."

Korra sighed, "Yes, and I know you're prepared. But, it's not enough. You're skilled in almost all elements that we have discovered, but there is one that you can not master alone."

"What are you talking about? An element that I can't do alone."

"This element to bend without risks involves two people. Two elements."

Hana realized what Korra was trying to imply, the element that merges two together. "Time.." Hana whispered.

Korra nodded "And only one other person has the ability to this." As she said her last words, Hana's vision became white and soon she saw a world much different than hers. The picture zoomed in to a lit up stadium with so many moving lights. It zoomed even more, and I saw a young man on the stage, dancing and singing, with so many chanting his name.

"Taeyong!" They chanted. Hana knew no name, but his face seemed familiar.
She widened her eyes as she figured out who he looked like.

As soon as Hana, realized who it was, she finds herself back on the balcony watching the festival. A voice whispered in the back of her mind.

"Find him..."

Hana looked forward in shock. She locked eyes with Karr, who looked at her full of concern.

Hana quickly sat up from her chair and  walked out into Weng's chambers.

She swerved though the palace, until she found what she was looking for: The tapestry. Hana remembered what she saw. The man, who looked exactly like the one on this tapestry, performing on a stage, crowds screaming his name.

Was it really his name?

Hana, with widened eyes, searched the picture for any hidden clues. She looked at every detail: every stitch, every color, every thread, but she couldn't find anything that could lead her closer into what she's supposed to do.

"Hana," Karr called from behind, "Are you okay?"

Hana turned around to find Karr looking back at her with an expression of worry and concern. She, in turn, gave him an expression of confusion.

"I-I... I don't know." She stammered, she looked around the room, trying to find some kind of answer. Why was she here? Who was the man? Was that Taeyong guy really Zulee? Why does she need to find him?

Karr realized that Hana is going through something, so he tried to help the best he can. He slowly walked to the shook girl and held her in his arms.

Hana reluctantly gave in to his warmth, she closed her eyes and returned the hug.

"I'm just so confused." Hana whispered, as she held onto Karr, who tightened his hold on the fragile girl.

Soon, they pulled out of each others embrace. Karr then looked Hana in her eyes, "If they're is anything I can do."

Hana stared back at him, then looked around the room once more, she was about to give up on looking, until she came across a poster.

She squinted her eyes to focus more on the poster. It showed a picture of Republic City with red marker circling the city and words written escape.

Hana softly gasped and whispered, "Lightbulb." She then turned to Karr. "Get the whole gang, including Weng, here in ten minutes."

Karr slowly nodded and headed out the door.
