Pop. Pop pop pop. Poppuhpoppoppop. KASCHUNKhiiiiiiiissssss.

There was condensation and mist spraying out from cracks in oblong glowing things that were clustered along the floors and walls of the huge, ancient-looking caverns.

For now, the ones that were cracking were the closest to the floor, but perhaps later, the figures sliding out of the pods would be sliding out onto the slimy walkways and platforms above.

Pop. Poppop. KASCHUNKhiiiiiissss.

There was light, and unconscious minds breaking through the top of the briny, harsh waters of consciousness, as their bodies did similarly and broke free from the pods, sliding to the floor, shivering in pools of slime.

Once the temporary blindness that some of them had passed, and once they were free of their sleepy stupors: somebody had some splainin' to do.

But there would be no explanations, as the only thing that could explain was only watching, silently, almost as a mother would look at their child right after it was born.

Pop. KASCHUNKhissss.

"NO I WOULD NOT LIKE A SEDATIVE! I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY I'M NAKED AND COVERED IN BISON SNOT!"

The agitated prince was beginning to steam more, and he wiped the slime away with more agitated motions, lest his viscous coating lead to burns.

The Prince of the Fire Nation followed the lights, glancing at the other naked individuals, his extremely infuriated grimace changing not a bit as he glanced at them.

"Who are you and where are my things? Why did you bring me here? Where IS here?"

"You're wrong. I have a destiny. This isn't it."

Zuko stopped in his tracks, raising his voice again in anger.

"It's my duty to teach the Avatar Firebending to restore balance to the world - if you're a spirit, you can understand that, right? Let me go, or the whole world will suffer."

Uh.

No?

"I don't think you understand. I need to teach the Avatar firebending so he can end the war. You know - the one that's destroying the balance in the world."

Zuko sighed.

"You're a spirit, right? My uncle said I should be respectful of the spirits . . . but you need to let me go. It's the only way to restore balance. That's . . . that's hard to override."

He knew what his destiny was. He knew, with a certainty that he had been missing for the past few months. To have it diverted now -

He doesn't want to think about how much that's going to hurt.
