Avatar - chapter 101 (Patreon)

I lost consciousness, and I had no idea why, one moment I was talking with Yue, then I heard that name that had no meaning to me and…. Like Magic I was clutching to my head.

And now I was lost in my mindscape, I wonder why the inside of my mind is so… white.

—-I don’t think it’s Magic—- Vaatu commented, appearing inside my mindscape with a frown.

“Oh, hello Vaatu,” I sighed, not expecting the spirit to pop into my mind, literally.

—This is odd…. very odd, and I don’t like it,— Vaatu stated, his tone carrying more weight than usual.

“What?” I asked with concern, “The fact I lost consciousness after hearing a name that I thought had no meaning to me… or the fact that everyone else seems to remember something we don’t?” I added.

—-I told you before… humans don’t forget things, memories last forever, and before you come and say… some humans do forget things, they don’t, it’s simply that sometimes the memories are not as easy to access as they used to be, and they can’t see them… but even then the memory is there…. but that’s not the case with you…— Vaatu sighed, —-I can’t find a large portion of data in your brain, is as if something or someone had ripped a chunk of information from your brain,—

So Azula was really a thing… “That doesn’t sound good,”

—It doesn’t,— Vaatu growled, —The worst part of this is that whoever messed with your mind… messed with mine, I tried to restore your memory with mine… but it was the same deal,—

“And you spirits never forget right?” I asked.

—I remember the day I came into existence— Vaatu scoffed, —Forgetting something is an impossibility… besides, missing data should not be the case, if we didn’t remember… the memory at best should be a blurry, not like this… not missing—

“Any idea how to fix it?” I asked, wondering who did this to us… I mean, one thing was to affect me, but to affect Vaatu, that was an entirely different matter, whoever did this was strong.

—None at the moment… but now that I'm aware someone has been messing with our heads… they won’t be able to do so again,— Vaatu declared, burning with determination.

“I think we can rule humans out of The Who did this…” I chuckled, “There is no human capable of such feat anyway,”

—That much is true,— Vaatu nodded, —Which only leaves spirits as our suspects…. and considering my ranking among them, the list is not that vast…—

“Do you think…. it was one of those turtles… you know the ones you call the ancient ones?” I asked, and Vaatu shook his head.

—No, they never interfere….— Vaatu stated, —The Primordials… on the other hand, would fuck our minds if it fit their plans….—

“Can we do anything against them….?” The primordials sounded like forces we could not hope to match, which put us in a difficult situation. I mean how do you deal with the equivalent of a God in this world.

—-Well…. I know I can’t… alone at least,— Vaatu sighed, his voice almost hurting for admitting the fact he couldn’t face them alone, —But together we might stand a chance… if we don’t… we can always befriend one of them and ask them for help, depending on who fucked with us… we might have a chance to make alliances with others,—

“So now the name of the game is finding who did this, alright,” I chuckled, “Now… can you wake me up, floating inside my mind is as boring as it sounds,”

—You are floating in my ROOM! Which happens to be your mind… do not insult my living arrangements toilet user!— Vaatu growled, showing I had touched a nerve with that comment.

“Sorry?” I was not sure if this deserved an apology or not, but when unsure just say sorry.

—And about waking you up… I can’t, your mind is trying to heal itself, so… you are stuck here while my room recovers…. so…. wanna watch some movies?— Vaatu offered.

“I… sure…” I nodded.

[Yue POV]

Had I done this? One moment Akira was standing in front of me, the next he was on the ground unconscious, had I pushed him to that state.

“How is the boss?” Agni the weird fire bender Akira had brought with him asked.

“He is… fine, unconscious but fine,” I answered.

“I don’t understand… he never gets down… I always saw him so… invincible,” Sakura muttered.

“I suppose this is proof that he is human…” I chuckled, begging the spirits to help him.

[Azula POV]

I was but few days away from my destination, and I had to admit, I had a tingly feeling inside my bones, and it wasn’t so much the fact I was meeting with Akira once again, no. It was the fact I was messing with Life and her plans.

Showing the world that even primordial beings can’t mess with me, “I wonder what will Akira do once he finds out…” I giggled in anticipation, wondering who he declare war to Life, or would he outright try to kill the embodiment of life.

I suppose any option leading to Life’s demise is… an acceptable option, and as long as I get it, participate… I am good either way, I’m good as long as I get to enjoy my revenge…

“The first fire bender to burn Life itself… I like that,” I smirked, pleased at the thought.

[Akira POV]

When Vaatu offered me to watch a movie I did not expect him to pop a movie theater into existence inside my mind… aka his room. The place even had popcorn and sodas, literally a fucking complete and functional movie theater.

—I personally recommend the caramel popcorn, is very good on this theater,— Vaatu said, with a bag of said popcorn.

And the only thing I could wonder was… what did he mean by this theater.
