Estranged Encounters

"GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" You screeched.

"...Y/N?"

You turned around and saw Zuko and Iroh. They tried to approach you, but-

"NO! S-Something's wrong with me! Don't come any closer!" You shouted.

You had already ruined everything.

"I can sense something strange looming around you." Iroh muttered, "Please, step away from that edge. Let's talk."

"Y/N... What were you planning to do?" Zuko whispered, stepping forward.

"Get away from me!" You screamed, wobbling backwards.

You felt a dark energy wrap around your ankle.

....Oh...

...You were falling.

It was a bit ironic.

Ever since day one, you were strange.

Ever since day one, you were an anomaly.

Your powers, being found all alone in an igloo, not having anyone you shared blood with...

Everything about you has always been wrong.

So, maybe...

You should shut your eyes...

...And listen.

"Y/N!"

You found yourself in a black abyss, still falling down. Where was that voice? Who was talking to you?

"You don't remember my voice? I guess it's to be expected."

A woman with dark brown hair, glistening blue eyes, and sunkissed skin took your hands, sliding two gloves onto them.

"Y/N, have you forgotten how much I love you?"

You froze up.

This woman was... Your mother.

"I might not have given birth to you, but you could at least remember what I told you back then!" She ruffled your hair,

"When I told you all you have to do is practice and learn, that applies to everything in your life. Everything is a lesson to learn from." Kya pulled you into an embrace, and you found yourself standing on your feet.

"I'm sorry I wasn't there to guide you,
Y/N... My precious daughter."

Tears began to roll down your cheeks.

"Come on, Y/N! You've grown into such a beautiful young woman! This isn't the way to go. You... You're far too young to feel pain like this. All of you are."

"When I left the world, I left to protect all of you. It doesn't matter what blood flows in our veins, or how we came to be. I died so that you three, my children, could live on, Y/N."

"So please... Live."

You felt her escaping your arms.

"MOM!" You cried, reaching out to her.

You were back at the cliff's edge.

"Y/N! Y/N, you're okay...!" Zuko and Iroh held you tight.

"...Mom..."

You began to sob and wail, tears streaming down your cheeks.

             "Move on with life, Y/N."

AN: Been a while since we've had one of these, huh?

Well, fun fact! I cried while writing this chapter! (Told you 0.00001 Oz of water was enough to be hydrated!)

Uh, anyway, if I got the translation wrong for the glove image, please let me know! I'm learning simplified Chinese, so idk if that's accurate, since ATLA uses traditional Chinese characters.

Awawawawaaaa

This chapter felt all over the place! You'll understand it soon! >∇<
