17 Ouroboros

After hearing the prophecy, Zuko, Iroh and the chieftain just stared at the ongoing phenomenon. Azula's eyes were still black while her irises are blue. Her limbs turned into a jet black color with electric blue linings. Her fingers changed into claws that made someone feel like being ripped into shreds just by looking. Her back grew draconic wings without the skin and only bones. Her hair started turning into serpentlike creatures with their own mind. The elements started converging near her and the sunstone while the earth trembled at an increasing pace. The two dragons dancing on air stopped and separated and made a loud roar that was hear all around the 4 nations, and after doing that, the sunstone finally broke and a small being flew out of it.

"What's happening?" The trio watching the phenomenon around Azula were scared. They can feel the increasing amount of pressure that the two were producing. When the sunstone broke, the dragons and the people near the temple especially the trio beside azula and the sunstone fell on the ground and on their knees. For a moment, time seemed to have stopped for everybody but the two who caused the phenomenon. However in that moment, an entire conversation was made.

AZULA POV

"Who are you?" I asked the thing that came out of the sunstone. However, the serpentlike being only look at me and mewed. That's right it mewed. Like a cat which I found very adorable but like they say, adorable things are deadly. So i kept my guard up. "Mew" said the serpentlike being to me again. "What are you a pokemon? You keep mewing like that mew in pokemon." I thought to myself. As if sending my thoughts, the serpent went to me and bit my finger, or should I say claw. The strange thing is, I actually bled. I felt blood flowing out of the bit claw. This is the first time I've ever bled ever since I found out I have the virus in me.

"How? How am I bleeding?" I thought. "Because your powers originally came from me." Said a voice in my head which came a surprise for me. "Who're you? Where are you?"

"I'm Ouroboros, the serpent dragon of infinity. I'm the beginning and the end. The cycle of life and death. Created by the maker to protect the multiverse. However, I'm only half of myself. The other half was lost in the vast multiverse and I can't seem to sense it. In order for me to unite with my other half, I unleashed knowledge about the Blacklight virus on a parallel planet which happened to be yours. They developed it and Alex Mercer was supposed to be killed by the virus itself after the entire planet was plagued but unfortunately, in the future, he made the decision to produce more people like him which ended up haunting him and in the end killed by the same guy who was supposed to help him rule the world. In order for me to proceed with my plan, I decided to look for an alternative which is you."

"So you're the one who sent me here. How does this relate to me in any way? Why didn't you just let me die. Why did you give me this. I can't believe I got dragged here with this virus just so I can help and damn incomplete worm find his other half. Heck you don't even sound like a man."

THIRD POV

Azula hearing all the the serpentine dragon god had said burst out in anger. Sure she loved the feeling of being powerful however, if she could choose, she would've just let herself be dead and sleep for eternity. No more troubles and problems to solve. She doesn't have to have to feel anything again. But here she is, born as a woman. Confused about her gender. Sometimes she thinks she still likes women, certain time she feels for men. Her brother became a weakness of some sort. She knows that she will lose control the moment something bad happens to her brother.

The dragon god hearing all this thoughts coming from azula was flabbergasted. He thought he got a good grip of the personality of the guy he chose, but now he's second guessing. "I chose you because you were their when I searched for a strong soul. Yours was shining brighter even though you were decapitated. You were even infected with my virus that literally consumed and absorbs the soul of any living beings. For your soul to stay bright and strong after all that and being a normal human was impressive in of itself which is why I chose you."

"Okay I get it. I can't go back to what already happened. I mean there are good things that happened since I came here anyways. But now what to do?" Azula asked the dragon god still wondering what these is all about. "First just call me by my name. We are already connected when I took your blood. You're basically immortal now. If you die, you will regrow back from nothingness just like me. Also, I searched your memories and found something interesting. In one of the anime you've seen, an ouroboros appeared. Coincidentally, that one is a she ouroboros and also lost some of her powers with a being like Samael. I lost half of mine when I fought with Samael. So I think that that place is where I can find my other half. Unfortunately, I cannot sense that universe. Either someone is blocking it, or the other me erected a barrier there so that no outsiders can find it."

"Wait if you and your other half are the same, then why can't you find each other? Wouldn't that contradict what you're saying?"

"We are the same, but we're also not. I'm the represent the end. Anything that causes destruction is me. My other half is the beginning. I can't sense it as I don't have an ounce of beginning in me. I'm death and the other one is life."

"Wouldn't you be able to sense all life if you represent death? Without life, there's no death."

"That's the problem. The poison that was used to me by Samael wasn't potent to me. However, it destroyed my powers, comprehension and my connection to all life. But since i was created by the maker itself, I can never truly be killed. Nothing can destroy me as I'm destruction given physical appearance itself. Samael was an outsider created by a different maker. However it seems like my maker is still stronger than samael's since I wasn't erased from this multi/omniverse."

The conversation between the two seemed long, but for the world, it only took but not even a second of time. Ouroboros' arrival cause a fracture in time and space which held the fabric of time to a stop and created a pocket of space controlled by ouroboros where they held their conversation. When the the fabric of time and space was fixed, the pocket was erased and the two were back with the real world but only 0.000000000000001 second has passed.

"I need you to absorb the dark spirit in this world. That way you will gain the ability to travel the boundaries of other universes without being rejected by its will since you will have the essence of light and dark as well as my essence. If it's just my essence alone, the universe will collapse as it won't be able to handle me, however with the light and dark essence nourishing the universe, it will be able to barely hold my power which should allow you to successfully Travel in that universe."

"Wait if that's the case, how come the other universe you mentioned was able to hold your other half?" Azula asked curiously. She felt excited at the thought of going to other worlds.

"Remember that my other half is life itself. Of course it can create things that can help it hold the universe together. It created a booster and a divider. Both used their power to offset each other and released massive amount of energy for the universe to absorb."

"I see so the light and darkness spirit of this universe helped hold your immense destruction? Okay I get it now. Also, your name is too long. I get annoyed at typing your name so I'm just gonna call you Orphis. Like the one from the anime you're talking about."

Orphis noded. "Now before we go set out to get your other half, I need to kill a fire lord. My brother looks like he's ready to become the next one. Unless he doesn't want to be then that's totally up to him. The question is, how to get the dark spirit Vaatu? Will I have to wait till the next harmonic convergence? That's gonna take forever."
