Drop Dead

You felt someone's presence in your cabin.

You were completely focused on the room beside you, so you weren't aware of anything in yours.

You glanced behind you, body stiff with uncertainty. It was a group of Zhao's soldiers. They were all in a fighting stance, ready to attack.

You wanted to turn around and fight, but you had already stressed yourself too much by focusing and warping space into a completely different area for the first time.

You felt yourself losing consciousness.

You shut your eyes.

§∆——————^^———————€§

You awoke inside Lso's dimension.
"I passed out? Again? I thought I had mastered that focusing technique..." You muttered, frustrated. "You have, but you were also focusing on the void. You're lucky it wasn't the main thing you were focusing on, otherwise, you'd have blacked out instantly." Lso sighed.

"Blacked out instantly...? What do you mean?" You questioned, stepping towards her. "Ngh...!" You got a headache just from moving a single step forward.

"The void is everything and nothing at the same time. When you focus, you take in the properties and motion of everything around you." Lso turned to face you.

"And since the void is everything, you were focusing on everything to ever exist all at once. And since you were bending it at the same time, you were focusing on everything single thing ever, moving and twisting. You even used it to write a message... If you ever try something like that again, you'll go unconscious within a millisecond." Lso lectured.

You stared at her in shock. "I had to stabilize you using my own abilities since I could sense the danger. Even then, the void was too much to handle. You couldn't fight due to the sensory overload."

"So if I were to focus in this room..." You whispered. "You might... Permanently live as a spirit. In simple terms, you'd die." You bit your lip.
"Don't worry. I'll do everything in my power to help you until you master creation." Lso gave you a smile.

"Master creation? What do you mean by that?" You tilted your head, confused.

"Ah... You see, I was blessed with three different powers. I won't get too far into it, but I had creation, destruction, and time. I put those powers into three different relics. You have the relic of creation." She explained, "Although, I'm not sure why you don't hav-"

Suddenly, you were back on the ship.

Wait...

This isn't Zuko's ship.

You tried to stand, but realized you were tied to the ground on your knees with metal chains. Your gloves were gone.

You couldn't bend either. Your fingers were tied as well.

Those soldiers must've taken you onto Zhao's ship!

You began to panic. You had nothing to defend yourself. "Feeling scared?"

You looked up to see Zhao standing behind a wall of some sort of sturdy glass. Your surprise quickly turned to anger as he and a two guards entered the room you were in.

"You know, I expected more of a challenge, trying to capture you. But it was so... simple. I see you're still as weak as when I first met you." He laughed.

"What do you want from me?" You glared at him as he smirked. "You're going to help me capture the Avatar. You're going to be my weapon."

You trembled at those words. The thing you had tried so hard to avoid...
