I flew with Azula out cold to the forgetful valley, without stopping, this time it took me less than a few hours to get there, and at one of the spiritual pools, I called for the Mother of Faces, using Vaatu as the connection between my and the primordial.
"Once a year," the mother of the faces said in anger, appearing in front of the month, "Once a year is my limit… my rule, the most I can possibly deal with you human beings ... and you come and disrupt my slumber!"
The air around the valley seemed to cool with an ominous edge, "I didn't mean to, but she needs you," I said with reverence.
The mother of the faces stared at me, and as she looked at Azula, her hostility subsided, "I know her… I know her mother, it seems they both have suffered a lot… what do you want?"
"I want you to give her what she never had… a family, I know her mother is close… and I know you can alter memories… so can you perhaps alter their memories to make Azula as a new person part of them," I wanted to offer her the chance to have what I couldn't offer her… a chance to have a lovely mother, and a normal father.
The Mother of Faces looked at me for a long second, "A noble and yet cowardly decision, but I will grant you this request… she has suffered more than most… perhaps a new beginning is what she needs,"
"Thank you," I said, with a faint smile… but this was far from over.
"As payment for this request…. You will in turn... forget this valley and everything about it... and never come back," The mother of the faces said in a cold and cruel tone, "Do you accept?"
"I do," I nodded.
"Then it shall be done," The Mother of Faces stated, and the radiance of a thousand suns, I felt my body being forcibly displaced, and in the blink of an eye, I appeared in a distant desert... along with Cheshire.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Where... where was I?" I muttered, I remembered taking Azula somewhere, but where?
--Great, we got men in black…-- Vaatu muttered, --Don't worry your crazy ex is fine… but thanks to you I don't remember shit about why and how is she okay… which I really don't care, but the fact I can't remember annoys me—
"I also get the feeling she's okay… and I have the feeling is best not to question it," I sighed.
--Good, I do not want to have any more blank spaces in my memory….-- Vaatu sighed.
"Not to bother anyone… but can anyone tell me… why are we in the desert?" Cheshire inquired, "I doubt anyone needs such a big potty…. God, I wonder who cleans it…"
With a sigh, I ordered Chesire to take me back to the fire nation, I had to take Sakura and her family out of there… before I killed Ozai, I had nothing holding me back from ending his life… but even so, I would not rush it… I would plan the gran finale like a maestro of the orchestra… the world deserved that much.
--Finally! We can start talking about something I actually like!-- Vaatu said, unusually happy, --I have a list of things we can try with him, so bear with me for a second… I mean YOU WILL LISTEN TO ME HUMAN!..... alright with that out of the way, here are my ideas, for option one, how about, if we use ropes to tie and lower Ozai above a pyramid-shaped sea seat of torture with the point inserted into the ass, though we can make him a hole for that, I am open to suggestions, anywho. Little by little, we would add weights would leading to death by impalement!--
Jesus fucking christ, "Where are you getting those ideas!?"
--The humans of your world are delightful chaotic, now shut up… I have more ideas,-- Vaatu said, with a giddy tone of excitement, --I also have this one I want to try, and I find it quite ironic, the brazen bull.. But instead of fire and smoke…. Extreme colds, and oxygen deprivation!--
"You need to stop see that shit in my head… which I don't remember watching, to begin with," I chuckled, it was weird seeing him so excited.
--The human mind saves everything your eyes have ever seen… even if it was for a second.. Your brain saves it… normally this information is discarded if you don't think is essential… but, thanks to my powers… recovering such delicious memories is a breeze,-- Vaatu stated, --I also have this one original idea, in where you bend each and every single blood cell in his body to heat up… slowly but surely killing him… or we could stop the flow of oxygen on his blood… but for those two you need to master bloodbending…--
So Vaatu had a thing for torture… great, "We'll see how we end him once we get to that point, for now… try to decide between those three options,"
--Three? I have like eighty more I wanted to share with you… but I suppose is fair to narrow it down,-- Vaatu sighed, --I will have my decision by then,--
Well, it seems I have a new thing to deal with now, Vaatu's new interest in the ancient art of torture, I wonder if in the end is me who is corrupting him… instead of the other way around, "Oh well,"
--You corrupting me? Psffff, you are barely showing me there are other ways to enjoy the chaotic rule of the cosmos!... a mere human corrupting corruption itself, talk about hubris,--Vaatu laughed.
"I know you watch anime in my head… and now you enjoy medieval torture… so…. I think I am right," I snorted.
--I do not watch anime! I find it… disgusting,-- Vaatu growled.

[Mother of Faces POV]
Akira, the broken piece had come back… with an even more broken soul in a different one, one that had been complete, but shattered by its environment, one that cried for help from the inside out… "Soon, you will have the family you always wanted… the loved you always desired, forgetting all about the world outside this Valley," I said in a soothing tone as I weaved her a new face, a new destiny.
"Why did you erase his memory," My loyal spirit wolf asked, "I know for a fact you were happy to help him with her… so why?"
"It's for the best," I answered.
"And why did you take away his feelings for her?" My wolf asked.
"To change his fate for the better… not all loves lead to a happy ending, some lead to destruction," I smiled patting my loyal servant in the head, "In time… he will be grateful for what I did… but until that time comes, he must forget ever loving her... he still has a role to play,"
