For Water Tribes, the day of the full moon was sacred. It was a time when the tides were at their strongest, and the bridge between the spirit world and their spirits were at their most fragile.
For Yue, the full moon held a special significance. She had been restless throughout the day awaiting nightfall. When day fell and night came, she hastened towards the Spirit Oasis.
As she entered the oasis, the soft rustle of leaves and the sweet fragrance of blooming flowers enveloped her. The moonlight filtering through the trees cast dappled shadows on the ground, leading her to the serene pond where the spirits dwelled. This was a place of ancient power, where the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds was thin.
Yue's bond with Tui was deep and profound, and it was a bond that extended to La, the Ocean Spirit. As Tui's other half, you were the darkness to Tui's light. And for Yue, you were an integral part of her own essence, a missing piece of her own spirit.
Since Tui's life force was now a part of her, Yue felt an intense connection to you, as if your bond had become a fundamental aspect of her existence.
As she walked along the water's edge, the moonlight casting an ethereal glow over the landscape, Yue sensed your presence.
And then, she saw you.
Your spiritual manifestation stood before her, a towering figure with skin like the darkest depths of the ocean and eyes that shone like stars. Yue's heart skipped a beat as she gazed upon your form - she could never get used to seeing you like this, not when she was so accustomed to your gentle presence as a koi fish.
"La," Yue whispered, she hadn't realized she had been holding her breath until she spoke, and the sound of her own voice startled her. She had come seeking guidance on how to protect her tribe from the Fire Nation. But staring into your eyes, she felt a sense of calm wash over her, as if you already knew the depths of her concerns.
