In Those Amber Eyes
Chapter 1
Back From the Dead
I held my face completely expressionless as I entered the large tree. I could hear Koh slithering inside, probably planning on how he was going to steal my face.
“I've told you time and time again Koh, my face is of limits and you ain't gonna get it”
“You're quant as usual my dear Mifunae”
The spirit slithered from the shadows wearing a little girls face; a face I had never seen him use in the 900 years I knew him.
“When you get that one Koh?”
“A lost girl like you came in here yesterday”
“I see. But I'm here on a mission. I need your help”
“With what?”
“With what indeed…”
I looked around the dingy tree
“Leaving”
“What?”
“Leaving, that’s what I need your help with”
“You are a past Avatar, you may not leave”
“You know I can, I'm different. Roku told me how I can leave”
“Then why do you need me?”
I pause
“Roku told me I shouldn’t do it so he won't help me out. I need you to release me. You're the oldest spirit, you have that power”
“I am neither the oldest nor the most knowledgeable. Why not see your owl friend?”
“You know he left sometime ago, Koh. I need you to open the gate”
“Do you have a way to connect your self? No you…”
“Yes”
“What?”
“Yes I do have something to connect with. The Avatar is close to my frozen body, along with the new Fire Lord; both are things I have dreamed of recently.”
“Do remember your job?”
“You mean the prophecy?”
“Yes”
Koh’s drawing voice echoed in my head as my thoughts filled with the words I learned as a child
“She will be born to bring peace but will fail. Frozen in time she will be reborn anew, to return all that was lost. To sacrifice the life given, for the life of the one that will unite the nations; bringing the long awaited peace once promised.”
I took a deep breath as Koh’s face, now an old man, smiled.
“Very good, young Avatar; and don’t you forget it, it is your future and past.”
I nodded as I turned to leave. Koh’s voice followed after me
“I release you”
I felt myself falling and I gave into it. When I opened my eyes I saw the ice below me and a group of people staring at me in awe. Two stood out to me, a young bald headed airbender and a scarred boy no older than me; the Avatar and the Fire Lord. I'm alive again… at last, after 900 years… I've been born again.
