推 Tui    ☯   拉 La

◎◉ “ Tui– ” Tui registers her partner’s call, and considers his question. She closes her eyes and opens her mind, sending tendrils of energy to the ends of her being–testing the waters, so to speak.

Everything seems fine, until Tui notices a new presence dwelling within her being. She recognizes this feeling–one of a spirit closely connected to the Spirit World.

…Could it be? Tui continues gently investigating the presence, rousing it from its seemingly slumbered state. Upon waking, the presence seems to materialize into sight, emitting a faint blueish glow from its form. A small gasp escapes Tui’s lips.

“ Dear Child of Earth and Moon… ” Tui trails off. The form merely smiles warmly back, giving a small nod.  

Collecting her thoughts, Tui finally responds to her partner.

“ My energy seems to be fine, if somewhat altered in essence… ”

拉 La   ☯   推 Tui

◎◉ He dares not relive the memories. Hundreds of thousands of years of existence could not live up to the rage in his soul in that moment.

He dares not disrupt the seas any more this evening.

“ Perhaps even Mortals have something to teach us. ” The words are light, and chuckles ripple out from around him just briefly. The motions hardly noticeable as he continues to swirl about his partner. Although the words are a double edged sword, he holds onto the peaceful connotations instead. No matter how turbulent the waves become, he understands, there is calm on the horizon.

“ What does she tell you? ” He knows the Child is with them now. Although the initial arrangement was different those years ago, Fate brought this Child to them. And Fate never leaves loose ends.

推 Tui    ☯   拉 La

◎◉ Tui chuckles lightly at La’s comment. Indeed, Mortals may have just taught them an important lesson, if not by rather tragic means. At La’s inquiry, Tui looks again to the glowing form. 

“ Were you able to hear him, Child? ” Tui asks the form. 

A nod in response, the faint smile unwavering. Tui pauses a moment. She has so many questions, but also does not wish to overwhelm the Child. She was but a Mortal just moments ago, after all. 

“ Dear Child of Earth and Moon, and former Princess of the Northern Watertribe, Yue... I...well, and Tui as well, I presume, have so many questions for you. However, I do not wish to overwhelm you, so I would like to ask you--how would you most prefer to have this conversation? ” Tui waits with baited breath. Nothing like this has happened in all her many moons of existence. 

Yue gazes off into the distance, smile faltering somewhat, as if deep in thought. Her gaze comes back to Tui, and the gentle, tinkling voice Tui remembers as belonging to the Princess resounds within her mind. 

“ Oh Spirit of the Moon, my sincerest and humblest salutations to you. I would love to answer whatever questions you and the Spirit of the Ocean may have, ” Yue replies. Tui nods in gratitude. 

Yue continues, “ As to how we may best conduct this conversation, I am a bit unsure. Is the Spirit of the Ocean unable to hear me speak? While I have my suspicions as to how our current situation now stands, I would just like to make sure. ”  

A thought flows into Tui’s mind--Yue’s thought, Tui realizes. As she comes to understand the thought Yue is having, Tui begins to comprehend the situation they may now be in. The Moon Spirit feels, admittedly, a bit troubled as the puzzle pieces begin to fit together in her mind. 

Tui glances over to the black form of her partner, looking for any sign of comprehension regarding the conversation that just unfolded between herself and Yue.

◉◎ “ Tui– ” the word rumbles through like a heavy wave. His lips do not move. He knows there is something inherently different now that she’s returned. Yet, he also knows she is still the same. “ How is your energy? ”

“Now why would you want to do that?” she asked, raising an eyebrow upward. Her tone was laced with genuine curiosity. It was almost LAUGHABLE that she would ever be blessed by any type of spirits–she wouldn’t consider herself as a spiritual person. Though, after all the things she had down, she HIGHLY DOUBT any spirits would even dare to think about blessing her now.

The shame she felt was deeply buried within her, intertwining with her DAMAGED spirit like snag roots. And she could only shake her head now, she wasn’t the same person she was before (the ever shameful GREAT UNITER).

拉 La  ☯  @thegreatunxter​

La slowly swirls about her figure, body as if the size of a great whale. But his form is without the same mass, or rather, no mass at all. The slight transparency gives his image an almost haunting view as his scales seem to glimmer like black glitter.

“ There is no need to be ashamed, Child. ” Although he swirls about her, his voice seems to propel equally from all around them. “ All creatures are created with positive and negative energies. Created in balance. ”

As he finishes the words, he loops one last time and faces her directly. “ You know this better than many, Child. As was my interest to bless you as my own. ”

◉◎ " Tui-- " the word rumbles through like a heavy wave. His lips do not move. He knows there is something inherently different now that she's returned. Yet, he also knows she is still the same. " How is your energy? "

推 Tui

doesn’t quite remember what happened that day. 

All she can remember is a pang of pain, and sudden darkness. The next thing she knows, it seems that she is seeing life through a different pair of eyes, in a different land. 

From fuzzy memories, Tui recalls someone asking if she has been touched by the Moon Spirit. She recalls thinking how nonsensical of a question that is, for she is the Moon Spirit, but then being taken aback when a different voice from her own answers in the affirmative. 

Tui’s memory fades here again, and the next thing she knows, she’s back in the oasis, returned to her koi fish form. 

Shortly after regaining her senses, Tui remembers suddenly hearing another voice in her head--and sensing an additional presence within the koi fish body.  

She hears a light chuckle from a distance. Tui, you aren’t replaying the memories of that day over again are you? 

“My dear child, who would not try to recall the memories of such a miracle. If not for you, I and your people would have ceased to exist for all eternity. ” 

She hears a chuckle again. It was simply the right thing to do, as thanks for the life you once gave me, Tui. 

Tui remembers the slightly odd yet somewhat familiar sensation of having the new presence within the koi fish, within her. It felt a little like reconnecting with a long lost child, as if a missing piece of the puzzle had finally been found. 

Since then, the presence has become a comforting companion to Tui’s existence with La in the Spirit Oasis. One that she never really foresaw, but one that she will forever be grateful for. 

Tui smiles to her self. 

A sensation of glowing warmth washes through her body. 

Yue must be smiling, too.

拉 La 

realizes in that brief moment: though he has lived many thousands of years, there is always something more to learn about these mortals. Always something surprising. He much prefers it this way.

“ The snow and ice are unfeeling, Child. ” he muses, lingering in the blizzard air behind the figure. “ But even the tundra winds understand there are many more years ahead of you. ”

 He smirks softly, amused, as his beloved Tui watches them from above.

拉 La

remembers his pleas for Power. The sort of power unrelated to the oceans or the waves, but rather a power over biology. La was never good at biology.

Agony. Cried his Son.

Anguish. Cried his Son.

How could you do this to me?

Yet, despite all the power that Spirits command in this world, there is only so much the Ocean can do for mortals. Perhaps, granting this Power was a mistake.

La hovers in the currents, next to the drowning man. The irony -- of a drowning waterbender. He sighs, places an hazy hand over the man's struggling visage, and exhales deeply. Within moments, the flailing ceases, and the man's body falls limp. After La removes his hand, only the breeze of the ocean currents keep him company.

拉 La

stands at the edge of the water. Or perhaps, stand isn't the correct term. Rather, he seems to exist. The wind is still and the waves lap softly against its sandy shore.

" It was something that needed to be done, my Daughter. "

The young woman stands tall, just a distance before him, her back facing him from within the shallows. He knows. She is angry. With the flames of a firebender within her heart. He remembers winning the right to bless her from the Fire Spirit Agni.

"It doesn't make it any easier." The words a cry of agony into the void before them, despite their low volume. The darkness seems to dim even further around them.

" Very little is easy in this world. " His voice, as languid and deep as the ocean.

His ethereal hand pauses a moment on her shoulder, and then he vanishes - leaving his Waterbender to her thoughts once more.

◎◉ “ Have faith, my Son. For our light will guide you through the unknowns. ” And her eyes glow white - with a brightness eerie enough to stun Souls. An overwhelming warmth seems to radiate off her shoulders in clouds of mist. But, despite the feeling, thin particles of ice stick to your clothing instead.
