Chapter 59 - Koi Spirits (2/2)
He nodded as the duo continued their walk for five more minutes before they found themselves standing in front of a glowing lake with two distinct entities rotating in the pool of water, as if chasing each other, yet, kept a safe distance as they weren't destined to ever get into contact with each other.
”Are they?”
Nik looked at Yue, who happened to be looking at the duo spirits with a warm smile, her eyes narrowed as if enamored by their entire existence.
”Yes, they are La and Tui. The Black Koi represent the Ocean, the Silver Koi represent the Moon.”
Before Nik could reply, a snort could be heard within the back of his mind.
”Moon, my sparkling ass! Isn't that Tama? The Spirit of Gravitation?”
Pavāka's frustrated groan echoed within his mind.
It was Nik's turn to be surprised but the moment he heard the term Gravitation, he felt quite an illiterate even after understanding the ways of nature during his training.
The 'moon' pulls the water to form the tidal waves, in fact, refers to its gravitational pull. Hence, this gravitational pull allows the waterbenders in sense with water to manipulate the water while subconsciously tapping into those 'pulls'.
It was THIS simple!
Just a single concept of gravitation defined the entirety of waterbending.
That's all!
”That Tama is a rogue one! Always appearing in places and allowing others to manipulate gravity!
Hmph! It was only after... whatever. Well, he does not play that much. So this Yue must be quite a special one to—”
”bend the gravity.”
Nik whispered in amazement as his look towards Yue changed entirely.
”Yeah... Nik. If you actually plan to follow... the plan. I think you should reconsider.
This spirit actually affects the entire plane way more than the Avatar could ever hope to achieve...”
”You think?”
Nik asked in mock amusement as a deep desire to smash Zhao's head into a bloody pulp and feed his brain matters to dogs, cause that's the only thing his I.Q. will ever be worth, erupted within his heart.
'Fuck him! Wanting to actually kill the gravity?!'
Nik never thought he would use the word 'kill' to associate with the word 'gravitation' and yet, here he was.
”Alright, take off your clothes!”
Yue clapped her hand, alas, the sound of her claps remained muffled due to her hands covered in gloves while she looked at Nik happily.
Not minding her words at all, just like Pavāka.
”Hehehe... she is rather cute now she speaks this way...”
You sound like a perverted old man, Pavāka!
Nik sighed deeply before smiling bitterly.
”Um... it's way too cold... don't you think so?”
Nik asked out with hollow laughs in tandem, only to see Yue smiling even brighter.
”Hurry up! The water of the pool is actually way warmer than the surroundings.”
