Avatar: Mage of All Elements-Chapter 118

As I closed Kuvira's cell, I let go of the past that weighed on me. My men had done a good job and learned a lot. I'll have to thank them. For now, I wondered what the other prisoners were like. They were a bit deeper, but it wasn't hard to get through to them. The first one was an airbender who could fly.

«Hi», I said to him, but I got no reaction from him. Concentrating, I realized what was going on, so I flew up to him, sent a thread of energy into him and sank it as deep as I could, grabbing him and pulling him toward me. A moment and he regains consciousness and falls to the ground, «Happy awakening. Sorry, I don't have much time», I shrugged.

«It's okay, I understand», he shook his head.

«I'm Kami», I pointed at myself, «And who are you?»

«I am Zahir», my face showed no emotion and he continued, «I am the leader of the Red Lotus.»

«I see», apparently they were the ones who attacked Korra. But it's still worth making sure, «What are you in here for?»

«To kill the Avatar», he said calmly, «To finish what Yoko couldn't.»

«I see, I see», I mumbled, not knowing what to do. Me again, but he's nobody to me and his name means nothing «And who are the other prisoners, do you know?»

«My friends. Gazan and Ming-Hua.»

«Are they also air mages?» I asked, wanting to get out of here and get some sleep tonight.

«No», he shook his head, «Gazan is a lava mage and Ming-Hua is a water mage.»

«A lava mage?» I asked interestedly, and the sleep left me.

«Yes», he still answered me calmly.

«Interesting», I said quietly, «Then I'll go.»

«Wait», he decided, «Help us escape.»

«Why?» I asked, turning around, «You screwed up and didn't kill the Avatar. You ended up here. Oh, and she went to the spirit world, so your escape doesn't make sense.»

«We will serve you!», he accepted the desperate attempt at redemption.

«You can't speak for everyone», I shook my head, «And you can fly, which tells me you have no attachments. You're unreliable. So no. And why should I, when I have an entire island of people who are loyal to me?» I shrugged, turned around and flew into the hole I'd made before.

«You're dead», he whispered in shock, but I heard him.

«That's when my father died», and I repaired the hole.

Still, he's perfectly adequate and can reach out to someone. And I don't want to put my family in danger, so I want everyone to think I'm his son, which is kind of true.

The seismic vision clearly showed two more chambers, which I entered, making my way through the floor. The first was an exact copy of Kuvira's cell, and there was an old woman sitting there. I didn't approach her, just looked at her, and went into the second chamber.

It wasn't a cave anymore, it was a rather large metal room, and there wasn't even the slightest bit of earth in it. There wasn't even a speck of dust in the room. A hairy man was lying on the bed, and from the feel of it, he was asleep.

«Hi», I said softly, causing him to wake up and look around to see me, «I'm Kami. And you're Gazan, right?»

«You are right», he nodded cautiously.

«Zahir said you have the element of lava, is that true?» I asked, dropping to the ground and stepping closer to him.

«Yes», he muttered tensely, «I do.»

«Show me», I said and threw him some pebbles.

Looking at me incredulously, he stretched out his arm and the ground flew up. Nothing happened for a second, and then the ground heated up and turned into lava.

«You're changing the momentum itself», I muttered interestedly, «But what exactly are you doing?»

«Squeezing», he muttered calmly.

«Interesting», I muttered and took more soil from my pocket, trying to repeat the trick, but to no avail «Hmm, it's not working», I scratched the back of my head

«I'm not the only one who can do this, so I don't think so», he shrugged, but kept the lava cool and to himself.

«Hmm», a wave and some water gathered from the air «Don't move, I'm not going to hurt you», I slowly walked around him and put my hands with water on his back and started to examine his elemental nerves and so yes, the cause was them «You had relatives with both earth and fire magic, didn't you?»

«Yes, my grandfather was a fire mage and my mother was an earth mage», he replied perplexed and a little confused.

«I see», I muttered, stepping back and taking off, «I found out everything I wanted to know», he turned around and looked at me in confusion, then looked at the ground, «You can keep it as payment for answering my questions and staying out of my way.»

I turned and flew upwards, passing through the metal ceiling, leaving no trace, and floating through the ground to the surface. I have to make it before dawn, since I'm still sleeping in the same room as Kaguya. And I'm too tired to answer her questions.
