Avatar: Mage of All Elements-Chapter 108

Time to return. Still, the solstice was approaching, and that was the time I had promised to return. But my time was not wasted. I was finally able to bypass the restrictions on using two elements at once. That was a thrill. But that's not the point.

Linya, like all Shakko, specialized in illusions, but I simply didn't have the time to master them. Except that she was a seven-tailed shakko, and they're supposed to have at least two elements. And it turned out to be fire and air. Thanks to this, my core increased several times and an air core appeared.

Again, there was no time to practice air magic techniques, but I had enough for a single technique. In the past, air magic monks renounced everything and devoted themselves to spiritual practices. Many could fly. But there was one monk who could fly without giving up everything.

In his memoirs, which I once found in Tenzin's library, he described in detail how to achieve this state, hoping to find a successor in the future, since he could not find one in the past due to the misunderstanding and rejection of this practice by other monks, so now I am the only airbender who can fly without renouncing anything.

With the ability to fly freely, returning wasn't a problem. Surprisingly, there was no one near the portal. After wandering around for a while, I made sure there were no traps and walked through carefully. A few seconds of bright light and I stepped out into the valley. Hmm, no one here either. Too no one, I saw the absence of Vaatu in the tree. That sucks. I'll have to look for him.

As I focused and listened to the world, I realized that the Avatar is now not one, but two. That's great.

I also sensed the sheer number of people. The solstice was approaching, so it was time. As I passed the valley, I sighed and tuned in, stepping forward. There was no turning back. A few seconds of light and I stepped onto the snow.

I looked around as the light faded. Yes, I was expected. And that's putting it mildly. Hundreds of thousands of people. If my brain isn't failing me, there are about a million people here and now. All nations, all kinds of clans, everyone who can fight is here. And at the front of the line are all the people I know.

Toph, Katara, Zuko, Tenzin, Lin, Tonrak, and many others. And as far as I know, there are no weaklings here. And Korra and Unalak are in charge. And the spirit of Vaatu is in it. It is beautiful.

«I see you've been preparing», I smiled slightly, «Are you so afraid of me that you wanted to stop me with the whole world?»

«Yoko, please stop», Korra stepped forward, «It's not too late to take it all back.»

«Unfortunately there is no going back, you know that very well», I shook my head, «I didn't attack first and I didn't start this war. All I wanted was peace, but the war knocked at my door», I looked around at everyone, «And as for my appropriate actions, my response in the war, I see this», I wrapped my arms around everyone gathered, «Not a single civilian was harmed, only warriors. And the whole world has turned against me.»

«Because you have caused chaos in the Empire of Earth», Unalaq said.

«No, there isn't. They've joined forces. Yes, to oppose me, but united. In a few years it will be a great nation.»

«It will be built on the blood of those you killed!» muttered Korra. Everyone else just listened, hoping for the best.

«It is true», I muttered with a smile, remembering the bitchy nature of the Empress, «But people now realize the price of peace.»

«So what's next?» Korra asked, not knowing what to do.

«As always», I smiled softly, «As an Avatar, you have a decision to make. Perhaps the hardest of your life.»

«What do you want?» asked Unalaq tense. Surprisingly, Vaatu was afraid of him and that didn't help his calm.

«I need the life of Avatars «, I said calmly, «Either your two or tens of thousands of the others.»

There was silence. A statement, even for a madman, not normal. That one man, though unrealistically strong, would threaten the army of the entire world? It was madness in its purest form. But this particular person was the one who made you doubt.

«Yoko, take a look.» Linya said, channeling her spiritual energy into my eyes. I don't know what she did, but I saw the light mist that is present in everyone. It's hard to explain, but I understood, it shouldn't be like this.

«What is it?» I asked, confused.

«I don't know.» She shook her head.

«But it's not supposed to be like this», I didn't understand. But it didn't matter now.

«Where is the guarantee of your words?» Korra asked me decisively.

«My actions, that's my guarantee», I shrugged easily. But that wasn't enough for everyone: «If you don't believe me, then let Toph come and check if I'm lying or not. Will that be enough?»

«Quite», Toph muttered for everyone.

Carefully and with a kind of apprehension she approached me.

«Go ahead», she muttered tensely.

«I promise I won't hurt anyone if the Avatars give me their lives», I said clearly, telling the absolute truth.

«Not lying», she muttered unhappily and stepped back to where she had been standing.

«So what have you decided?» I asked with interest. Events were taking an unexpected turn.

«I'm going with you», she said firmly.

«Unalak?» I asked him with interest, the blood coursing through his veins much faster than usual.

«I refuse», he decided anyway. Many were shocked, for this was the only chance for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.

«Are you sure?» I asked seriously, «Thousands will die if you resist, and that's just the two of you. I'll tell you even more, there is a non-zero chance that you will survive. And you still refuse?»

«Yes», and took a fighting stance.

«Eh, and I tried», I shook my head.
