Book 20: Inner Spirit

[savedtheworld]

[Video]

[The teenage monk appears over the video feed. He's still sporting the chin fuzz he grew back during the tail end of that time travel shift. And he's looking a bit worried, because his first meeting with the Avatar spirit did not go well.]

Hey everyone. This is Aang. I just wanted to ask you all... Can you let me know if you see a specific spirit around anywhere? Really big, glows a lot, kind of looks like a kite but isn't! I think it's kind of important...

If you see her, tell her it's all a misunderstanding and to find me I guess? ...Thanks!

[Action]

[Aang can be found in his daily routine around Luceti: at House 56, by the air gates near that house, checking out the library, manning the Welcome Center or the bakery and also exploring the forest. At almost any of these places, Aang will also be practicing meditation, but he's a little more uneasy than usual.]

Just because you both have some nice tattoos doesn't mean she's like your best friend ever, Aang.

[savedtheworld]

I know that! It looks like we both have a lot to learn about each other, even if she has been in my body for so long.

[theideaguy]

... How can she be in your body? She was out here watching Zuko and I haul back a bear just a little while ago!

Especially if you're trying to FIND her!?

[savedtheworld]

Well she's not in my body before! She just was until all that happened. Now she has her own Luceti wings and everything...

[theideaguy]

I don't even have an idea of how to understand what you're even trying to say to me, Aang.

[savedtheworld]

What's so hard about it? She's the Avatar spirit!

[theideaguy]

Well why didn't you just say so in the first place!?

[Because literally no one had told him that yet.]

[savedtheworld]

I didn't? I guess it just seemed obvious to me... [Never mind how long it took him to realize in the first place.]

[theideaguy]

Obvious. [Twitch.] Have I ever told you how many obvious things about spirits aren't really that obvious to everyone else?

[Why, Luceti, why?]

I guess that means we ought to go bring her back or something.

[savedtheworld]

Sorry!

Yeah... I think that is what it means. I don't even know if I can really be the Avatar without her.

[theideaguy]

Look, we've been over this time stuff before. If some previous Avatar came here and died, would you suddenly lose your Avatarness and die? Of course not, and not just because you get revived and all. You can probably do the Avatar thing without her.

But if you're that concerned, c'mon, let's go.

[savedtheworld]

I don't know, Sokka. I think this is different. ...But thanks. Let's look.
