Chapter 28 : Loose ends
Their breathes mingled, One Inhaled as the other exhaled, the very air shared between the two of them. They were so still, they seemed still, but the tiny seemless movements they made, had both of them gasping and choking. Where did one end, and the other begin? Was it important? Dod it matter any more. To own and be owed, they were one. Two souls intricately woven together, by choice, by will and by the blessings of the spirits, they were one. The intensity of their stillness, of their sharing was beyond physical, body, gender, race, all of it had no meaning. Their hearts, their minds and their souls danced in perfect unity. Two beings, two individuals both power and unique, and both intertwining seamlessly. Their strengths complementing the other, their skills supporting each other.
Slowly they climbed the pinnacle together, reaching climax in unison, their voices a chorus of pleasure.
The Great Spirits appeared beside them, the spirits watched their host merging and surging together. The Great Dragon Spirits coils curled around the whole room, as the Wolf-Hawk spread his wings in benediction. The spirits watched the incomprehensible actions of humans, they blessed the union, but could not truly understand it. For the spirits companionship and the sharing of the great flight was all they required to bond. Humans needed so much more, and the Spirits ignored the journey and simply blessed the results, the climax that sealed the soul sharing between all of them. Satisfied with the results the Spirits faded from the room, as the two on the bed, still intertwined, feel into a deep sleep.
:) :0 :D :P
A gasp of pain left Sokka's lips.
Iroh, Savin and Aang all stood around Zuko, holding the Fire Lord back. Zuko had improved greatly since he and Sokka had become soul mates, but watching Sokka hurt was tearing the Fire Lord apart.
Sokka stood in a ring of moonlight, clothed only in his loincloths, we was attempting to breathe through the pain as Yue prepared to remove the Soul Spirit from his chest. Yue's actions and proximity to Sokka was not helping Zuko or his dragon keep calm. Both knew Yue had to do this, but both were still not happy about it and a part of them roared as Yue's, ghostly fingers cupped HIS Sokka's jaw.
Sokka's panting got heavier, his chest felt like it was bing slowly pierced by a blunt dagger. Yue moved closer and closer to him, and even through the pain, Sokka could not stop a weak smile.. He was Zuko's, of that there was no doubt, however that did not change the fact that Yue was still special to him and she always would be. A small part of his heart would always be hers. That was the connection that allowed the transfer to occur, not just this once. If in the future they wanted another child, and another Spirit Soul was willing, Yue could act as a connector and repeat this process.
Yue smiled into Sooka's eyes with both her lips and heart, she took another step forward, and her spirit merged into Sokka's body.
Zuko roared. Flames burst from him as the Dragon Spirits rage ran through his blood. Iroh, Savin and Aang were sent flying as Zuko in an act of superhuman strength threw them off him. Flames errupted from his nostrils as he took a step forward with every intention of yanking Yue out of HIS soul mate, and burning her too a crisp.
The air was forced from his lungs as a pillar of stone emerged from the floor and crashed into his chest. Ice snaked around him and froze his hand and feet in place. Unable to breathe and move, Zuko glared at his tormentors. Katara's grin was slightly malicious, "Thank you Zuko, you have NO idea how long I have been waiting to have a chance to do that."
Toph's sightless eyes managed to be condescending and mocking at the same time. "Seriously hot head, you were told not to interrupt, so DON"T interrupt. Or you will have to go though me. And with or without your Dragon I would not recommend that. Then again, it might be lots of fun to kick your sorry ass for not calling me sooner, so go ahead, make my day." the challenge was clear. The Dragon would not fight the other elemental spirits, and even crazed with Toph's pillar grinding the air out of his lungs, Zuko was not in a position to protest too much. The two women were the real barrier to the Fire Lord's disruption of the process, and as barriers went Katara and Toph as a team did not need much else to stop just about anything.
Yue merged with Sokka, the warrior felt warm, comfortable. It was a good feeling, and in no way was it comparable to when Zuko had merged with him. It was akin to comparing drinking a warm cup of tea, to free falling into the heart of the sun. One was nice, the other was beyond expectations.
The two shared space comfortably for a moment, then without regret or hesitation, their drew apart. Cupped in Yues hands was the glowing soul orb. It pulsed and sat heavy in her palms. The Soul Spirit had a physical mass now, and it no longer spun and floated. Yue gestured, and Akila with a look of wonder in her face stepped into the circle of moon light. AS awestruck as she was with the moon spirit, she bowed to Sokka, as if to once again obtain his permission. Sokka's smile was bitter sweet. He was relieved to not be actually pregnant, but at the same time the loss of the extra life in him, left him feeling a little hollow.
Sokka nodded in affirmation, and Aklia knelt before Yue. The Moon Goddess chanted a blessing, her voice clear and strong. Blue light and a feeling of wellness spread through out Akila, and then welled in her abdomen. She gracefully stood, and Yues cupped hands pushed into Akila's abdomen. The two shone brightly for a moment, then the light faded and Yue's empty hands withdrew from Akila's body.
All eyes watched in fascination, as when the light faded from Akila there was an obvious but small swelling of her belly. Akila's palm dropped to the bump in wonder. Yue smiled. "It is done, the fire nation will have a new heir in six months."
Drawn by invisible strings, Sokka sank to his knees before Akila. His hard trembled obviously as he pressed it gently against the bump. He rested his cheek beside his hand. His child was now growing beneath his hand, and he could feel his Cometty, warm, snug and safe, resting in the womb. The feeling of awe was overwhelming and he choked a little. Another hand rested on Sokka's. Zuko knelt behind Sokka and his free hand snaked protectively around both Sokka and Akila.
This was his family, he home, his nation would finally have a stable future.
:) :0 :D :P
Zuko and Sokka facing each other across the huge arena. It was the self same place where Zuko had faced his father in the Agni Kai. The memory still hurt, but it was a distant pain, a wound that had long been faced and healed.
The twin dai-swords in his hands, with an over head swing Zuko attacked. Sokka ducked easily slipping below the swords. Sooka cartwheeled behind Zuko and the space sword hissed cleanly through the air, taking off a little of Zuko's hair as the Fire Lords dodged and countered with his blades.
The watching crowd went wild.
The skill of the two deadly serious warriors was unmistakable. The clang of steel rang in the arena. Complex series of lunges, ballestras and ripostes were executed with the singular purpose of winning the battle. If either warrior missed a step, failed to defend, their opponent's sword, sharp and battle honed would have maimed or killed them. This was no choreographed battle, this was a dance of death between two well matched and skillful opponents. The battle came to an abrupt stop, when Sokka's black space sword, drew blood at Zuko's Adam's apple, and Zuko's swords rested on Sokka's chest, the cloth shredded.
Simultaneously they too a single step back, and bowed to each other. The roar of the crowd shook the rafters.
The two warriors faced the diaz, and bowed to the High Priest of the fire temple. The High Priest smiled and gestured, flames burst out. It created a figure of eight around the two men. The flames separated the two. Sokka stood still unmoving and unflinching as the fire burned hot around him. Zuko took a fighting stance, not tapping the Dragon spirit in any way, he began to move with sharp but strangely graceful steps. Similar to the moves of the Dancing Dragon Zuko took control of the flames. Using his will and skill alone, he lifted the fire off the ground, the lifted the flaming figure of eight in the air above their head. Sweat dripped off the Fire Lord's brow, his face stern in concentration, as he manipulated and controlled the bright flame, while keeping the fire alive.
Zuko glanced at the figure of eight in the air. He crossed his lips, and with an aggressive move,pulled his hands apart, then quickly smoothed his movements to a graceful circular flow. He figure of eight split in reaction to Zuko's command, and became on circle. The circle drifted down and took its place on the earth, both warriors safely inside the circle.
Flames no longer separated them, but Sokka still did not move he waited.
Zuko was breathing hard form the exertion, he looked up to smile at Sokka, when the High Priest gestured again, and ZUKO burst into flames. The High Priest had removed Zuko's control and released his inner flame. Zuko lit the area in a conflagration of flame. Fire roared from him, shooting upwards, easily twenty feet in the air. The crowd flinched, such was the heat generated that even members of the fire nation were awed by the power contained in their Fire Lord.
A ripple of fear spread through the audience, as the ex-water nation warrior had no defense against the fire. This was the first time most of the people were seeing the Fire Lord's chosen consort, they did not know what to expect.
A slow smile painted Sokka's lips. Almost gently he sheathed the space sword. He inhaled deeply, and straightened. The change in the young man was beyond anything the crowd had every experienced. The competent, fearful warrior who had downed the fire nation's elite forces, seemed to give way to another being.
All Sokka did was raise an open palm out towards the flaming Zuko. The Dragon-Wolf Hark Tattoo on his face and chest ripples and to many seemed to come alive, shimmering on his tanned skin. His fingers moved just once in invitation, Sokka called to the flame. The call came not just from the gesture, but from the aura, from the being of the blue eyed young man, and every man and woman in the audience, felt the call, the allure of the Dragon's Prey.
The Fire raging around Zuko, immediately responded, the flames streamed from Zuk to Sokka, curling around his hand, working its way down, until Zukos's flames circled around Sokka. Not a single thread of Sokka's outfit was charred by the flames.
The fire snaking sensually around him, Sokka finally began to walk forward. He dripped sensuality and charisma, each movement seductive, confident, inviting. Zuko his eyes glued on his soul mate, groaned almost in pain as his hapless body responded to the call of his mate.
Sokka's arms wrapped around Zuko's neck and the fire circled them both. The lips sought and found each other, and the kiss was as long as it was deep, the fire around them burned bright, and then slowly merged into the two warriors.
The two finally emerged from the kiss, and stood side by side. The High Priest gestured one last time, and the flaming circle the stood in lifted into the air. As it got higher, the circle shrank. When the circle shrank to the size of a bracelet, the High Priest made the final blessings, and the fire moved to rest on Sokka's head. When the flames died, the crown of the consort rested snugly on Sokka's head.
The Unification ceremony was at an end, and the week long celebrations began.
