Zuko: So who am I having tea with?

You'll see, on to the chapter! YAY!!

Zuko:... Crazy girl.

...

"Hello Cousin."

"Lu Ten?" Zuko said disbelieving what stood before him.
Lu Ten crossed his arms and began to smile.

"What were you expecting someone else?" he asked. Zuko nodded, "Actually yes. I thought I was going to see…"

Lu Ten smiled, "Don't worry I'll take you to him."

Zuko eyes widen, "Where is he?" he asked.

"Knowing him probably making afternoon tea," said Lu Ten. Zuko nodded his head. Lu Ten took a few steps forward toward Zuko, placed both hands on Zuko's shoulders.

"It's good to see you again cousin, you've really grown into a fine young prince."

Before Zuko could respond Lu Ten started to hug him and Zuko hugged him back.

"Alright," Lu Ten said while keeping one arm around Zuko.

"Let's go find him." And with that they started to journey to find the old dragon. After a short few minutes of walking in silence Lu Ten spoke up.

"Remember that time we set the armory on fire?" he asked. Zuko looked over and smirked, "What do you mean we? That was all your idea."

"Hey you're the one who set those spears on fire," said Lu Ten.

"After you burned the tapestry," said Zuko. Lu Ten open his mouth like he was about to say something only to hesitate and think for a few seconds.

"Good point."

They return to an eerie silence as they continue to walk through the swamp.

"So you guys still go to Ember Island?" asked Lu Ten. Zuko's mind wondered back to a time where his family was actually happy only to be reminded of the horror of a times past. Zuko looked back at Lu Ten.

"Not in a very long time." They returned to silence.

"Lu Ten do you know what happen to us after you died?" Zuko asked him. Lu Ten took a deep breath.

"Unfortunately I do. I've seen what you went through for all these years. I've seen the pain you suffered and for that I am truly sorry for your pain and suffering."

Before Zuko could respond Lu Ten spoke up, "Here we are."

They came into the open to a giant grassy field and in the middle of it stands a lone shed with a few tables out in front. And from the front door emerged a man dressed in simple fire nation robes holding a tray full of tea. The man looks up and sets his tray on the nearest table.
Zuko on the verge of tears barley mutters.

"Uncle."

Iroh nods his head and close the distance between the two and grab's Zuko into a bear hug. Zuko now let's the tears flow freely.

...

"Jee get in here," said Shu.

"What?" Jee said.

"His fever is going down."

...

As Iroh poured the tea Zuko just sat and watch as the tea soon took shape in his cup. They sat in silence the both of them. Lu Ten went outside to serve the other spirits that come for a nice cup of tea. It was Zuko that broke the silence.

"Uncle I just want to say I'm sorry. It's my fault you were killed. If we just left and kept moving then none of this would happen."

Iroh put his hand on Zuko's shoulder, "Zuko none of this is your fault. You need to get that through your mind. Not everything that happens is your fault, it's the way the fates decided."

Before Zuko could respond Iroh spoke up again, "Now we have to discuss your next move."

Zuko nodded and drank more of his tea. Iroh got up to make more when Zuko decided to go outside and see all that was here. He saw some random spirits drinking tea, playing games, and talking to Lu Ten. He was enjoying the view when he felt a light tap on his left shoulder. He turn to see a girl who seemed to be a year younger than him, but what got his attention was the fact that her hair was as white as snow.

"Um... hello?" he asked her. She looked at him, "You don't know who I am do you?" she asked him.

"No I… wait a minute," he said then snapped his fingers, "Now I remember you were there with the Avatar and his friends at the north."

She smiled, "Yes my name is Yue, and I heard that you defeated the man who killed the moon spirit."

Zuko frown at the memory of Zhao being dragged under by the ocean spirit.

"Yeah I did."

"Well I just wanted to say thank you for what you did," she said.

"I didn't do it because of what he did to the moon, I did it because of what he did to me. I'm no hero."

Yue smiled, "You still did do a good deed, even if it wasn't for a heroic cause. So Thank you."

With that she gave him a small kiss on the unscarred side of his face and walk away. Zuko stood there wondering what just happen when Lu Ten came up from behind and grab Zuko by the shoulders.

"Way to go buddy, you got a kiss from the moon spirit. My little cousin's growing up."

Zuko turned to face his cousin, "Shut up Lu Ten."

With that he went in to find his uncle waiting for him.

"Okay Uncle can I just ask where am I, the spirit world?" Zuko asked. Iroh took a sip of his tea.

"Yes and no," he said.

"You see somehow your mind and the spirit world became connected, so this is both your own mind and the spirit world."

Zuko sat there dumbfounded, "That doesn't make any sense."

"Well it made sense to the writer when he was writing this," said Iroh. Lu Ten walked in carrying a tray under his arm.

"And how is Kyle doing?" he asked.

"Who?" Zuko spoke up. Iroh waved his hand, "That's not important right now. But what is important is your next move."

"And that would be?" Zuko asked.

"What you think is best Zuko," Iroh said while standing up.

"Here follow me Zuko."

Zuko stood up and followed him to the back where there was a huge pond.

"Now Zuko look in and tell me what you see."

Zuko looked down and saw his reflection but then the image change, he saw the avatar and his friends gathered around a fire talking and all of a sudden they stop and look directly at him. He looks at each one of their faces to see what they could be doing. It was then that the young avatar waved him over and he saw an image of himself sitting next to them. That's when it hit's him.

"My destiny lies with the Avatar, it always has and it always will."

With that he stood up and walked to his uncle, "I know what I have to do now."

Iroh smiled, "You will not be alone Zuko, we will always be with you. But before you go I have something for you."

"What?" Zuko asked. Iroh stepped forward placed his right thumb on his forehead and his left thumb on his heart before saying.

"My knowledge."

With that Zuko's eyes glowed and before his eyes he could see memories passing by him like lightning. After a few short seconds he came out of his trance.

"What did you do?" he asked. Iroh smiled, "I gave you my knowledge, my skill, my wisdom. My strengths are now your strengths, use them well."

Zuko hugged his uncle for what feels like the last time and did the same to his cousin.

"Remember Zuko we shall always be with you."

Zuko smiled and was about to leave when he suddenly realize something.

"How do I get back?" he asked. Iroh smiled, "All you have to do is wake up."

...

"Jee get in here. He's waking up!" cried Shu. Jee rushed into the door followed by the rest of the men. They all surrounded him,

"Everyone back up give him some space," cried the cook.
Zuko open his eyes to the faces of all his men surrounding him. Jee was the one that broke the silence.

"Prince Zuko you've been out for two days, how do you feel?" he asked. Zuko sat up lifted his right hand up and looked at it before answering.

"I feel…," he said while his hand begun to produce red sparks. He looked back to the men and smiled.

"Charged."

...

Zuko: So that's it huh?
