What happened next I was only told about from Katara.
She said that Zuko clasped on the banks of the river waiting for me to return from the water. When I didn’t he got angry and started fighting his own guards.
But then a blinding blue and red light rose from the water and everyone froze looking at it. my body rose out of the water, my eyes were open and glowing blue like water. my hands and feet glowing red, like fire.
She said my hair turned from brown to blue and my eyes turned red. And then I spoke
“Prince Zuko” a dark yet beautiful voice spoke threw me. “have you no shame?”
“what?” he asked shaking. “who are you?”
“we are the Ocean and Sun Spirits” the voice spoke. “we are apart of Arianna and she is apart of us”
“how is that possible?” he asked.
“when she was born her mother a water bender, and her father a fire bender put her in the river” they said. “she would have died if we did not see the child and hadn’t fallen in love with her.
“we quickly found that individually we could not save her but together she would be very powerful. So with our spirits infused within her she grew stronger and she floated to your fathers ship where she was taken in by the royal family who allowed only half of her own spirit to grow stronger. And that caused her much pain”
“but what does this have to do with me?” he demanded.
“you know her the best” the voice spoke. “and you hurt her the most”
“no I didn’t want this!” he said to them. “I never wanted to hurt her!”
“you wanted to hurt her like she hurt you!” the Spirits hissed. “but you are lucky that she is not so easily killed. She lives yet and she will defeat you”
“she will not!” he growled. “spirit or not she will not beat me!”
“oh Zuko” this time, she said, it was my own voice speaking. “I love the way you lie”
