That's for helping me out of my writer's block. And thanks Karisu (sp?)for the cheezburga.

Book 1, Chapter 9: "Halfway Home"
"Ancient legend tells of a vengeance spirit; a spirit of pure rage and desire. These qualities are often associated with fire, the element of consumption and wrath, but legend does not make such a comparison. The exact meaning of the name "The Blue Spirit" is a riddle which we will never solve."
-Professor Zei, "Spirits and their Downfall in Modern Society"
Zuko stared into the mirror.
Today would mark the 930th day of the domination of the scar on his face. Zuko was mildly amused that he was still counting. But how could he not count. How could he not remember.
Before the... incident... Zuko would often go into the bustling city, a place that was like his own backyard, a place where he could mingle with the common man, the man who shared his failures and shortcomings, the only place where he felt accepted and loved.
Now, baring this scare, this unholy mark, no one wanted him. None allowed him into their homes. No one even dared look upon him in the streets. His mother might, but she was long gone.
He set his hands into the sink below him, rippling with his opposite; his enemy. The water pooled into his tired hands and then Zuko baptized his face with the cold element.
Two years and one hundred and eighty days since he last saw home.
Somehow, he felt torn, as if halfway home, halfway somewhere else. He could almost feel the nothing stir beneath him. His Uncle had told him a million times that the void was no place to live, as if he missed the smell of grass and the touch of earth. But Zuko was unsure that the empty could be a home. It called to him, the black infinite; the eternal sea. Since he was small, Zuko stared up into the midnight air and saw...
He saw home.
But for now, he was on his own, away from Zhao, and Uncle, and the Water Tribe Witch, and her idiotic brother, and most importantly, he could be away from himself.
He drew his swords and never looked back.

End of Chapter
I love writing with Zuko cause I can be all discriptive and talk about space in a million different ways.
Course we all know where this is going...
But here is a question I need to ask you:
Should it be the cl.assic Blue Spirit or something different? I just hate to think of there being a Sci Fi universe and the best disguse Zuko can come up with is just a mask. So should it be different or not?
