After the very emotional reunion with my two human friends… two… huh… I really need to increase that number. It is just sad. Anywho, after the reunion. We spend the day eating and catching up.
Apparently the northern Water Tribe was suffering more than ever, with the fire nation destroying their ships, ships that brought food and other various necessary items. Putting the entire Tribe in a precarious situation.
Hundreds of soldiers dying almost on a daily basis just to provide an inch of commodity and safety. Which while not surprising altogether, it shocked me a bit. This was a side of the war I hadn't expected, in the show, the northern Water Tribe never had any problems of this magnitude.
"I never expected things to get this rough," A naive thought, this wasn't a show anymore, war was as real as anything else. I simply decided to think otherwise to shut down any regrets of leaving.
"They have," Yue sighed, "but don't blame yourself," she added with a frown, "I know you Akira, and right now you must be thinking… that this got worse because you left us, so let me clarify… all of this in no way, is your fault…"
"A man alone can only do so much in a war," Sakura added.
Nice sentiments, but I knew I was at that point strong enough to make a difference… maybe not win the war, but I was strong enough to reduce the damage.
"Maybe before, but I can now," I was the dark Avatar, I had now the power to bring Ozai and his troops to his knees, "I have the power to stop this now,"
"With your Avatar powers?" Sakura chuckled, "Allow me to paint you a picture, you take down Ozai, revealing there is a second avatar, that of course would make the fire nation stop… but for how long ?"
"You are suggesting… that once I die they will go back to their old ways?" I knew what she wanted to say, and she had a point. But unlike most creatures that wasn't the case with me, thanks to Vaatu, I was not burdened by the evolutionary failure of aging, meaning they would never rebel, for I would be around forever, "you do remember I am technically immortal?"
"That would only keep them on a leash," Sakura sighed, "An a leash made from fear breaks, they will at one point try to kill you, and start the war over again,"
Another very good point, fear can only hold something for so long, the moment that fear started to fade, they would go at everyone… again.
"Alright, then what do you think we should do?" I sighed.
"Well… I might have an idea," Sakura said, "But… it's a risky one,"
"More risky than killing Ozai?" I chuckled.
"Well my idea includes killing Ozai… but in a way that would make… things easier politically speaking," Sakura said with a overly serious tone, quite abnormal for her.
"Alright… you are scaring me Sakura," Yue chuckled nervously.
"What I'm about to tell you… it's something I have kept a secret for eighteen years," Sakura stated, getting our attention, "My name… my birth name is...Sulen Lakon, I am a part of the fire nation, the nobility to be exact,"
I blinked a few times, looking her up and down, before vocalizing a single word, "What?"
"I… moved out of the fire nation… for a various set of reasons, for one I hated what we stood for," Sakura smiled sadly, "And I always wanted to… well, have a small Inn,"
"I… what?!" Yue finally said, her operative system going back up, "You… what?! How?! Your papers show you are.. from a Tribe close to the—" Yue was shut up, as Sakura lighted her hand on fire, "Oh my god, you are…"
"Papers are easy to forge," Sakura chuckled.
"Huh," I was still trying to grasp all the new information.
"My plan is simple… we go back to the fire nation, I go back to my family , I present you as my son… and we start a coup," Sakura said, breaking the silence.
"Huh," Akira exe is not working, please restart the system.
"I still keep contact with father every now and then, he thinks I'm researching the air temples… so, they will not suspect a thing," Sakura added.
"Huh," Both me and Yue said.
"The hardest part will be convincing my father of helping us, but he is a man of family about anything… so he will side with you if he thinks you are his grandson, and with me because I am his baby girl," Sakura chuckled, "So will my brothers,"
"Huh," I mumbled.
"Huh," Yue nodded.
"Then… once we had their support… we just have to start a coup… kill the fire lord, and put your pretty ass on the throne Akira," Sakura chuckled.
"Huh," Akira exe restarting please standby.
"Huh," Yue mumbled.
"The next thing would be marrying you to a foreigner… that would cement the peace even more," Sakura winked at us.
"Huh,"
"Oh come on! This is not as impressive as you getting a new face, body, spirit , age and last but not least the dark incarnation of chaos within you," Sakura pouted.
"I am sorry," I said coming back to reality, "it's just… wow,"
"No kidding," Yue nodded, "It's mind blowing… I am already knew Akira would do something of stupid proportions on his trip,"
"Yes, I am predictable," I nodded.
"But this is mind boggling," Yue added.
"It's true, I am a chaotic menace… but I did not expect this… heck I had Vaatu declaring his love to Raava above this on my list," I laughed.
-Don't make me come out there!- Vaatu growled waking up just for that.
'You can't' I inwardly chuckled.
"Alright I get," Sakura chuckled, "But what do you guys think?"
"I think it's a fun idea… worst case scenario I kill Ozai, best case scenario I kill Ozai," I shrugged, "It's a win win for me,"
"Yeah and if things go as planned, you would be the Firelord," Sakura smiled.
"Say what now?!" Both Yue and I shouted in shock.
