Tales of the Spirits

Jee made it a task to walk around the perimeter of the village everyday just to make sure all is what it should be. He took great care in watching out for his new home. But deep down he knew this could never be home. Just as he was finishing his rounds he came upon the rest of the Spirits conversing around a fire.

"Hey Lt. take a seat," offered Shu. Jee sat right next to him as he look to all seven men, "It's funny last time we sat like this it was on our ship."

There was a silence among them until the engineer spoke up, "I miss that old rust bucket. All the time I put into that ship fixing it and keeping it in shape, what a waste."

"At least we had some good times on that ship" said the cook. Everyone agreed.

"Remember when we landed at the southern air temple?" asked Shu.

"How could we forget, could you believe that Zuko wanted us to actually climb up that mountain" said Shu. Jee spoke up, "I remember that you didn't even make it five feet before you fell down."

Everyone started to laugh, "I tell you what I don't miss though,"

Shu wrapped his arms around the cook's shoulders, "This guy's cooking."

Everyone started to laugh again. The only man not laughing was the man on the right side.

"Hey, Isao come on say something. It's been three years and we haven't heard a single word come from your mouth" said Shu. Isao shrugged his shoulders.

"Let him be silent if he wants as long as he's deadly" said Mamoru.

"So what do you guys think of this new place?" asked Hyosuke. Jee was the one that spoke first, "Well it's not home but to be honest I'm coming around to it."

"Same here" said the engineer. They all returned back to silence. They stayed like that until Mamoru spoke up, "Remember the storm?" he asked them.

"Yeah I was almost killed if it wasn't for the Prince" said the helmsman.

"To be honest I'm surprise at how much that kid changed over these last three years" said the engineer.

"He's got us this far. I say he can get us all the way back" said Jee.

"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step," everyone turned to look at Isao.

"Prince Zuko already took that first step all we can do is follow his lead."

They sat there taking in what Isao just said when Jee stood up, "To Prince Zuko."

All stood up with him chanting, "To Prince Zuko."

Tale of Iroh

Iroh spent most of his time in the village drinking tea and entertaining the young children with tales from all over the world. The children seem to really enjoy the stories with the "Prince" and he continued to make stuff up as they went. But that day was a special day for him, he spent most of the day getting all the right stuff which included a basket some fruits and some candles. He made his way to a nice secluded area with a tree on top of a hill. He knelt in front of the tree and started to place out the contents of the basket including a picture. He placed it in front of him and lit the candles. He stared at the picture for a few minutes.

"Happy birthday my son, I know I am early but I will explain later why that is."

He looked back to the sun set before continuing:

Leaves from the vine

Falling so slow

Like fragile, tiny shells

Drifting in the foam

Little soldier boy

Come marching home

Brave soldier boy

Comes marching home

He broke out in tears as he continues to watch the sun set.

Tales of Zuko

As the sun moved across the sky that afternoon all Zuko could think was how peaceful it is out in the country side. The Avatar and his friends left three days ago heading for Ba Sing Se. In all that time most of what Zuko could think of is the offer the water tribe girl told him.

"You could join us," repeated in his head over and over again. He couldn't help but think if what he did was right.

"Maybe I should have gone with them," he muttered to himself as he kept walking. He was so lost in his thought that he didn't realize that he came to the home of Lee and Sela, but what was unusual was the cart in front of the house all packed up. Zuko walked up and found Sela putting in one last box when she heard him behind her.

"Oh Zuko. I was meaning to come find you."

Zuko stood in front of her, "What is it and what's with the cart?" he asked her. She gave him a sad look, "Do you remember my husband Gansu?" she asked him. Zuko nodded.

"Well he found our older son, Sensu. But the only thing is he's too weak to travel back here. But Gansu found a nice piece of land out there, it's better than the land here so we've decided to move out there."

"What about Kai?" Zuko asked her.

"She's too old to be traveling and I don't think she would ever leave this place."

Zuko nodded, "How's Lee taking the news?" he asked. She took a deep breath before answering, "He's happy that we've found his brother, but is sad because we have to leave."

Zuko looked back to the house, "I take it your leaving soon."

She nodded. Right then Lee came out with his wooden swords and saw before him his sword master. Tears started to swell in his eyes as he slowly walked to Zuko. Sela turned to head back inside to make sure nothing was left behind and to give the two time to say what might be their final good-byes. Lee stood before Zuko; with Zuko not knowing what to do but before he could react Lee started to hug him. Zuko was taken aback but soon regain his thoughts and hugged the kid back. Zuko took a step back, "Here I have something for you."

He pulled out a small knife with a brown cover. He handed it to him, "I was going to give this to you when we finished your training but now's better. Read the inscription."

Lee pulled out the blade, "Made in Earth Kingdom."

Zuko pinched the bridge of his nose, "No the other side."

Lee flipped the blade, "Always mind your surroundings."

Lee looked up and gave one final bow to his master to which Zuko returned. Sela reemerged from the home and walked up behind of Lee.

"It's time."

Lee nodded and took his seat next to his mother at the front of the cart. Zuko look to the both of them.

"Keep up your training, and take care of your mother."

Lee nodded and Zuko turned to look at Sela, "Thank you for all that you've done for me."

Sela shook her head, "No we should be thanking you."

Zuko nodded while taking a step back. With that Sela snapped the reigns and began their long journey to a new home. Zuko stood there as they began to ride towards their new destination; he turned around to see the sun beginning to set. He stared at the sun while he whispered to himself.

"Real peaceful."
