"As a human you are bound to be stupid,but as a soul...just curious!!."Exclaimed a Shri spirit,with an eerie and amorphous anatomy which would represent the epitome of fear in the land of the living.It possessed a name that would spark countless nightmares in the bedtime tales meant for kids at night.
Kayne was seated in their midst,his constant visit in the spirit world helped him develop strong mutual relations with the astral community.
His tours with the spirits had enlightened him enough about spirits more than it was written in the scrolls and scriptures.He developed a transformation skill known as the "Astronofis" which was unfortunately named by Kayne himself.
It involved an act of fusing the human spirit with that of another spirit in the spirit world to grants abilities in the living.Other to gain lost memories and to boost physical capabilities like increase strength and speed but cursed with a disturbing dismerit that rolled through history.
The body of the man would grow animal or beast features.But Kayne could control it and still utilise it.He journeyed through the spirit world in search for more knowledge.
He encountered animal spirits that possessed the power of bending elements.Nymphs were elemental spirit that granted him the power Air bending.It was mild green with ebony horned winds and deem blue horns.It looked scary but not to Kayne.He pets it as his life companion.
As time goes by he would study airbending techniques from the scrolls in the physical world but practice the steps guided by the spirits.
The act is intended to boost his spirit capabilities and gradually grant him spiritual bending to one day sync in with a past Avatar's spirit,that was lost from Korra.
In the process,he also studied to suppress the side effect as he used it.He had a talent of bending both earth and air at the same time.Outcome of it was displayed as the the crack architecture on the pillars and floors back at the island.
As young as he is,he did a lot in sleep with extreme progress to achieve his goals.A secret task that the whole world is yet to witness,learn and script down for their coming genarations.
They arrived late.It was already night time and it a good time for dinner.Yohn sniffed the food from afar like a hungry rat soaring in the skies.
The whole family welcomed them and the servants received Yohn's luggages.The others demanded to pick up Kayne's body but Tenzin refused and did it instead.He carried him passed Jinora who stood by door waiting all day for his father's return.
She followed him upstairs with Kayne bent on Tenzin's shoulders,wrapped in a body bag to shield him from the cold breath of night breeze.
Tenzin dropped Kayne slowly on the bed and headed for the door.
"Are you leaving him like this dad?"Jinora asked seeing the whole thing looked shabby."Aren't you gonna unwrapped him?
"No,thats all?"He said with an assured tone that his job was done.He didn't expect more from putting a kid on a bed.
Jinora looked upset to hear this.She quickly unzipped the body bag,exposing Kayne's chest.She got rid of the bag and replaced it with a blanket.
"That's how to do it "Jinora said.
Tenzin smiled and hummed."Cmon it's time for dinner,I know you're curious to know him,I'll tell you anything."
At the table Yohn was first ever present,his face looked more hideous than a starving swan.It was grinched enough to compete with that of Milo in a fart competition.Tenzin and Jinora joined and the whole table was complete.
He introduced Yohn as his worker and Yohn told them all about his story with Kayne as his student excluding suspicious moments like his mother's burial,the mediation and the spirit central conspiracy.After dinner,everyone went quickly to bed especially Tenzin.
But Jinora wasn't sleepy.She had felt a strange aura since Kayne came to the island.She was interrupted in her room during times of meditation.She knew Kayne wasn't sleeping either.She was yet to find out what he was doing in the spirits that had so much impact in the physical world.
She crossed her legs and relaxed her shoulders.Closed her eyes and inhaled massively.
Whoom!!
Within a period of 10 seconds the environment around her felt warm and her eyes felt a burn.She opened them up to see sun rays all over her face.
"What!!?"She exclaimed.It was morning and her body has leaned on the side of the bed.
"I slept?What happened?Why couldn't I enter the spirit world"She threw multiple questions at the face of reality.Her will was altered and her chances to jump into the spirit world was disabled.
The bed was covered all in drool which left her disgusted.She ran out of her room pass the hall in her messy hair and worn face into Kayne's room.
He stood by his window watching the view from outside.He noticed her presence and turned to face her.
"Hello Jinora".Kayne knew her name and he hadn't even met her yet,considering how spiritually they were related.This confused Jinora.
"How did you know my name?"She asked.It wasn't clear to comprehend.Kayne had only showed up in her life in a sleeping sack.His eyes were shut and his body was unconscious.His arms were stacked in the bag so he couldn't have broken free in a split of a second.
"And why are you so confident about it?"She asked again but with a elevated yell.As distressed as she was,she didn't pay attention to the mass of concentration of fog she made out of her breath.Smell so cunning it would murder a species living with the guide of its sense of smell.
But Kayne was calm.Her mouth vapour was a chum compared to his rags and clothes back at home.This reminded him of his aunt ones more.
"You should kept your mouth shut when you entered the spirit world.Spirits have ears you know?"Kayne said to Jinora,who was speechless for a while.Not only did he know about the what she was called but her entire acts in the spirit world.
This made her blush,knowing well herself what she does with the spirits out of curiousity.
But Kayne wasn't done.He walked to his drawer and picked up a vase.
"You wouldn't want me to let the cat out of the bag to your father about what you've been doing there now do you?"Kayne was in control of the situation.He sensed her emotions,an ability he gained as well.He knew she was embarrassed and insisted more damage on it.
"You wouldn't dare!!"Jinora screamed.
Kayne wasn't stunned by it,he didn't even flinch.He was prepared for her but she wasn't.
She dashed with blast of wind to confront him.He turned slowly towards her and then...
Touch!!
