Y/n sits outside as he looks at the moon
Yue:They're fine y/n...
Y/n:Are you sure? Do I need to seek her out?
Yue:If you do then I will let you know...
Y/n:Thank you Yue...
Yue:If you need anything, just let me know...
Y/n nods his head as it is slient for a bit
Y/n:And my father?
Yue:The place he is at...my light cannot reach...
Y/n:I know where he is...I just...don't want to admit it...
She hugs y/n as she floats back to the moon
Y/n:Thank you again,until we speak later...
Yue:See you soon y/n...
She disappears as y/n walks back near the temple and sees Wan...eating something...
Y/n:Is that...a rat?
Wan:I am burdened by the form of which I have taken...
Y/n:Just don't try to eat Momo and we should be fine...
Wan:And have the Avatar after me, I don't think so...
Wan flies into the palm of y/n's hand
Y/n warms him up as he flies on his shoulder
Zuko:You can't sleep either y/n?
Y/n:I usually just watch over everyone...
Zuko:I can see that...
They both stare up into the sky
Zuko:It's nice out...
Y/n:Yea it is...
It is quiet for a bit
Zuko:Do you think I'm bad y/n? Do you think I've let iroh down? Our nation down?
Y/n:If you were truly bad...then you wouldn't be questioning whether it was wrong,just you doing that means you are willing to grow as person and do better next time...
Zuko:Thanks y/n...I needed to hear that...
Y/n puts his hand on his shoulder and smiles
Y/n:I think anyone and everyone should...no matter who you are...
Zuko:You know while I was trying to capture the Avatar I heard about how kind you were, in a way I had doubted it,I've seen you do some tremendous bending,but to see it all contained...
Y/n:The Eternal Flame resides in me...it changed me a bit...
Zuko:Can it really beat my father?
Y/n:We will Zuko...not just The Eternal Flame...
Zuko gives a small smile
Zuko:I think I can sleep now, I will see you in the morning to teach Aang firebending...
Y/n:Good night Zuko...
Timeskip
The morning arrives as y/n is still waiting out front with Wan on his shoulder
Aang walks up with Zuko by his side
Aang:Good morning y/n...
Zuko:You never came back to the room it looks like...
Y/n turns around with a smile on his face
Y/n:Good morning Aang, and sorry Zuko...
Aang:So, what's my first lesson in firebending?
Y/n:Firebending itself isn't anything scary...it is you trusting the element...
Zuko:But unlike the other elements a small amount can hurt you, a splash if water, a small rock, a gust of wind hitting your face won't hurt you, but a small amount of fire will!
Y/n:Zuko...
Zuko:Sorry y/n...
Y/n:Fire is like an extension of your emotions...anger,pride,honor...whatever it may be..
Zuko:What do you, the Eternal Flame use?
Y/n:Love...anger sometimes...
Zuko:Love for who?
Y/n:You...
Zuko:Me?
Y/n:Not just you but you're included...
Aang:And me?
Y/n:Of course!
Zuko:Well Aang maybe you should show what you know...
Aang takes a deep breath and look at y/n's eyes
Aang:Last time I tried to firebend, I blinded y/n...
Zuko:You what?!
Y/n:Remember what I told you last night Zuko...
Zuko:Right...
Y/n:Go ahead Aang...
Aang takes a deep breath as he tries to firebend
A puff of smoke exits
Y/n:It's a start Aang...
Aang:Maybe a example would help?
Zuko:I got this y/n...
Zuko goes to firebend but it is very weak
Zuko:What?
Y/n:Is something wrong?
Zuko:I don't know...
Y/n firebends just fine
Zuko:What? I was able to firebend just the other day...
They try for a few hours
Y/n:Look why don't you two eat breakfast...
Aang:Sounds good...
Zuko:Do you want any y/n? I can bring you back some?
Y/n:No thanks Zuko,just eat and return here...we will continue to try...
They walk off as Wan flies flies into y/n's
Y/n:You had your breakfast rat Wan?
Wan:I suppose I can come to the conclusion that humor is not one of The Eternal Flame's strongest traits...
Y/n laughs a bit
Y/n:So any info on Combustion bending...?
Wan:Not much but I think you can learn it since you are The Eternal Flame, it seem to be like containing your fire then letting it explode suddenly in a burst...
Y/n:Easier said then done...
Y/n tries to do it but doesn't do very good
Wan:It will come naturally...
They wait outside for a bit as y/n sits peacefully as Wan sits on is shoulder doing the same admiring the scenery
Zuko:Y/n...
Y/n turns around and sees Zuko,Aang, and Toph...
Y/n:Hey Toph...
Toph:Hey...
Y/n:Came to observe us?
Toph:No, Zuko said he couldn't bend so I thought of an idea...
Y/n:By all means...share...
Toph:You need to learn from the original benders...
Y/n looks at Zuko
Y/n:That is no longer possible...
Zuko:The dragons were the original firebenders...
Y/n:They're gone...
Toph:Well it's the only lead you guys have, unless you want y/n to do all the bending by himself...
Zuko:No! I think I know a way...the Sun Warriors...
Y/n:Zuko,they've been dead for a thousand years...
Zuko:I know but their temple is nearby...
Toph:I'll tell everyone you're leaving...
Aang gets onto Appa
Aang:Come on guys!
Y/n and Zuko both climb onto Appa
Aang:Yip Yip!
Appa flies off
Y/n:The dragons...
Aang:What happened to them...?
Y/n:Firebenders hunted them down...all of them, to the point of extinction...
Aang:Why?
Y/n:For glory, for power...every element has their original masters but we killed off our own...
Aang:How do you know?
Zuko:My uncle killed the last dragon...
Aang:I thought he was good...
Zuko:Not everyone has a simple past, and Iroh hides his at times...
Y/n:My father spoke of dragons but never said he saw one...magnificent and elegant creatures, but extremely powerful...
Aang:You sound like you guys regret what happened...
Y/n:Who wouldn't...? We killed the very creature that gave us our bending...
They fly for a couple hours before Zuko speaks up
Zuko:You know I thought this thing would be faster!
Y/n:Why do you say that?
Zuko:When I was chasing after you guys it was like this thing was the fastest in the world, but now it feels like it's trying to go slow!
Aang:Sorry Appa isn't designed to go super fast...
Zuko:Believe me I can tell...
Aang:Come on Zuko, we need to keep an upbeat attitude...
Zuko:Y/n can you confirm this?
Y/n:It helps...
Zuko sighs
Zuko:Fine...
Aang:Look! I can see the ruins!
He points down
Zuko:It definitely looks old...
Appa lands as the three of them jump off and look around
Aang:Come on guys!
Aang runs ahead as he sets off a trap
Zuko pushes Aang out of the way as y/n grabs Zuko and pulls him back
A floor of spikes is seen
Zuko:These traps...they still work?
Y/n:Even after all this time?
Aang:Maybe we should leave, there could be more...
Zuko:What happened to keeping an upbeat attitude? Did you think this was gonna be easy?
Zuko walks ahead
Y/n pats Aang's back
Y/n:A couple spikes won't kill you, trust me I would know what does...
Aang:You scare me sometimes...
They both catch up to Zuko as they walk up stairs to a temple
Each step they try to be cautious, watching for any more traps
They eventually get to the top and see a room that is sealed off
A red crystal is at the top of the door
Aang:It looks like the sun has to hit the crystal...
Y/n:Hmm...we had to wait for something similar at Roku's temple a while ago...
Aang:Who knows how long it could be...
Zuko:Y/n do you think you could speed up the process?
Y/n:I'm not gonna melt the door but I think I can direct a bit of sunlight towards it...
Y/n put his hand towards the sun and sends a small beam at the crystal on top
The door begins to open
They walk in and see statues
Y/n:What are they doing?
Aang:It looks like some type of moment...
Zuko:It looks like a dance...
Aang steps on something on the floor that pushes down as he does
Aang:Look! We need to mimic these moves...Zuko come on!
Zuko:What? Why me?
Aang:You're the one that needs to firebend, not y/n...
Zuko sighs
Zuko:Y/n you better not tell my sister about this...
Y/n laughs a bit
Y/n:Of course Zuko...
They both start to preform the dance as y/n just watches
At the end of it the middle of the room opens up as a golden egg is seen
Zuko goes to grab it
Aang:What are you doing! It could be a trap!
Zuko:We have to do something...
They hear a voice outside
"I don't think so...
Y/n's eyes widen
Y/n:A sun warrior...?
Y/n and Zuko both bow as Aang does the same
"If you have come to take The Eternal Flame or extinguish it, you are too late...
Aang:The Eternal Flame is extinguished?
"Yes, it went out 13 years ago, we had kept it burning for years and years...then it suddenly went out...
Y/n:I was born 13 years ago...
Aang:Y/n is The Eternal Flame...
"You mean, The Eternal Flame was reborn into you?
Y/n:I believe so...
"We shall see if this is a lie...follow me...
They exit the temple and see many more sun warriors outside
Aang:I got a bad feeling about this...
Zuko:We have nothing to be worried about...Y/n is The Eternal Flame...
As they walk for a bit they see a giant fireplace
"This is where the Eternal Flame was, and where it went out 13 years ago...
Y/n:When exactly did it go out?
"The day is marked on all our calenders...
Y/n observes one of the calendars as his eyes widen slightly
Y/n:I was...born on that day...
"Then allow me to show you how to prove that...
He firebends into the fireplace as nothing happens
"Only The Eternal Flame can light it,if what you say is true, show us...
Y/n hands shake a bit
Zuko:You can do it y/n...
Aang:Just do what you always do...
Y/n smiles as he creates a fire in his hand and slowly walks towards the fireplace
Step by step his fire gets stronger and stronger as everyone watches him
He reaches the fireplace and takes a deep breath
Y/n kneels down and lights it up
It blazes out but y/n doesn't move
"The fireplace has been reignited...
Y/n turns around and sees the Sun Wairrors bowing to him
"The physical form of The Eternal Flame is standing before us...we dedicate our lives to you...
Y/n whispers quietly
Y/n:Wan you getting this?
Wan:It is...astounding...
Y/n:Sun Warriors I need your help...
"Whatever you wish...
Y/n:My friends here need to learn firebending...we came to learn from the dragons,but they are gone and we wish to see if you know an alternative...
"The dragons are alive...
Y/n:We wish to see them...
"Your friends must face them on their own however...
Zuko:Whatever we need to do...
"They require a small part of your purest fire...after that we will lead them to the dragons Ram and Shaw...
Aang walks up to y/n as y/n grabs his his hand and ignites a fire
Zuko walks up next as y/n does the same to him
Y/n:They are ready...
Wan:This is a historical moment...
Timeskip
Aang and Zuko are both ready to start
"Up those steps you will be judged...may The Eternal Flame guide you through darkness...
They look at y/n as he nods his head
They both walk up the stairs as y/n kneels down and watches them
As they get to the top, they wait for a bit
Zuko:What now...?
Two dragons emerges from the caves
They spin around the two
Aang:Zuko the dragon dance...
Zuko:What about it?
Aang:Let's do it!
Zuko:What about the fire...?
Aang:Use it in the dance...
Zuko looks down the long steps and looks at y/n and back at the fire in his hands
Zuko:Let's do it...
They start to preform the dance as the dragons mimic it
At the end the dragons both shoot a spiral of fire at them as it has many colors
It brings a tear to y/n's eye as he watches
Y/n:It's beautiful...
After a bit the dragons stop and enter their separate caves again
Zuko and Aang walk down the steps
"Ram and Shaw see you two as worthy...
Aang:Y/n did you see that...it was...
Y/n nods his head
Y/n:I know Aang...
"Eternal Flame is this bird with you...?
Y/n:Yes...
"The Eternal Flame travels with his Phoenix!
Wan:What? I'm an owl...
Y/n:I would be honored if you were to address him as such...
"We must update everything, the Eternal Flame is alive!
Y/n:Don't I have to face a trial...?
"You still are, The Eternal Flame is very strong and surely burned away many things, not only physically but mentally...it can consume a person or it can be stopped by one's own flame...
Y/n remembers everything he has learned,everything he's done...
Y/n:What does it mean to be The Eternal Flame?
"Whatever you do is the example of what The Eternal Flame is...you control that...
Y/n walks up the the top of the stairs in front of the two dragon
They both exit but they don't fly around him
Aang:What us he doing?
Zuko:He is thanking the dragons...
Y/n kneels in front of them
Y/n:Your bending is not gone, and we have learned new ways to use fire...I will show you...
Wan:Y/n if you're not gonna try to...combine them are you? You don't know Combustion bending...
Y/n:I know but I feel like I can show them just this once...I will learn it at some point...
Y/n creates fire in one hand and heats it up using his heat bending
He thinks of Azula as lighting appears in his other hand
Y/n combines the two as the fire accepts the lightning as they work in unison
He shoots it out in a beam as it goes straight ahead
Y/n claps his hands together as the beam collapses in on itself
He smirks a bit as he opens his hands again as it explodes in many colors like Aang and Zuko say earlier
The dragons land next to y/n
Y/n:Your bending will live on through me...I will not let it die...I will learn any way bending that is a result of firebending...
Ram and Shaw both put their heads down as y/n puts his hand on each of them
"He has earned their respect...
The sun goes down as the moon rises...
Elsewhere
F/n is in a dark room
He is chained up to a wall
Ozai walks in
Ozai:I see you seem to be enjoying yourself...it would be in your best interest to tell me what you know...
D/n:You gonna kill me? Go ahead...
Ozai:Why are you so stubborn...
F/n:You can either face your death scared and afraid, or baring your teeth and fighting, I know which I prefer...
Ozai:Do you not fear that your bloodline will end with you and your wife? If y/n has no desire to have children it will end...
F/n:If I held y/n as a baby like I did knowing he would die before me...I would think it over too...
Ozai:You're beaten,physically and mentally...you're on your own with no one to save you...
F/n:You know it's funny how you say my bloodline will end with me...but I have to ask...
He breaks the chain holding down his arm but his legs keep him from breaking free completely
F/n:How do you feel that your bloodline will continue without you!
Ozai:I see no difference...
F/n:I live through my son,my motives are similar to his, therefore my ideas live on while your ideals will die off once you are dethroned...your children will abandon your foolishness...
Ozai:Enough...
F/n:Your time is over Ozai and even if I am dead...y/n will carry the torch...
Ozai:I said enough!
Ozai kicks him on the ground
F/n laughs as he spits out some blood in a growing puddle
F/n:If this is what makes you feel powerful...you are weak indeed...
Ozai goes to leave
F/n:My ancestors are smiling upon me Ozai...can you say the same?
Ozai slams the door as F/n looks up at the ceiling
The moon shines light into room but he can't reach it...
F/n sits in slience again...
