Secrets Unfold

Kayne stood felt warm under his feet.But he wore slippers.The grounds under him weren't familiar to him.The grasses blooms in luminous shades of colours on grasses.

"Woah!!...he couldn't help but say.

It was a forest of wonders.Plants moved as if they lived.The sky had no sun and the grounds had no rivers.He even wondered if the atmosphere had any air.And yet the plants here flourished.

From behind the trunk of a tree.At least one that resembled one from earth grew branches.A lizard-like creature crawled into sight.It had the horns of a bull and it's orange tail was feathered.

"What are you?a puzzle yet to be solved.

The creature showed no response.He touched it's forehead with his index finger.Closed his eyes and concentrated on his mind only.The creature wagged its tail.

"It understand my thoughts..he whispered to nothingness"

Kayne smiled.He could see his through his hands like crystal.The creature climbed down to his feet and onto his toes.He had fear for reptiles but this time it was different.He felt no tingling sensation on his feet and felt no fear in him.The lizard climbed around his body upwards.It grew bigger as it got closer to his neck.

"Fascinating,this explains what place I am,the spirit world."the creature soared.Knowing nothing of the words he spoke and but shared the emotions in his uttered speech to be joy.

The nightmares haunted no more.The astral world was soul pleasing.Kayne would stay here if he knew how to keep his position in the spirit world for longer.He stretched his arms forward and pointed towards a group of spirits.

He knew they would understand him only through the abstract projection of his words mixed with emotions.He sent the message.The spirits turned their faces towards him.

"They understand me?he was having fun with his new discoveries.But they remained still.They didn't move or flinch.His delivered message was a request they approached him.But they denied.Kayne approached them instead since they refused.

They're were painted with emblems like tattoos all over them.It glowed at a rise and fall sequence like it responded to a heart beating pace.

"What's wrong with you?"

He demanded the reason for artwork displayed all over them.

"We are idol spirits,we respond to beliefs and worship from humans and grow with every contribution."they lectured him.

"Can you help me find the source"

Kayne was curious why someone would belief in a being that didn't exist.

"Sync into our energy and find out"

They swam into Kayne's spiritual form and became one with him.His eyes illuminated with markings spreading across his arm.His pupils disappeared.

He knelt down and crossed his legs.Lotus position to focus on the energy in a meditation.

"Flow with us,Awaken your spirit!!"

His voiced synced with theirs in unison as he caused the ripple effects.The gleam shone brighter than the sun ever shone on earth.

Kayne woke up on the ground.He was surrounded by the spirits he once merged with.

"Where is this place?"

Kayne lost track of the location and position.He had no sense of direction whatsoever.The environment had changed and the trees were different from before.

"Look up,there are your answers"

The spirits acknowledged him of the main sight of the horizon.Giant humanoid spirits stood.They had acute resemblence to humans.Kayne was terrified at first and the spirit felt his affection of fear at what he had seen.

"It's the spirit of Aang,and the avatar!!"

Even though he had his answers,he matured aghast at the glimpse.

Kayne ended his journey with an instant break in the channeling flow of chi.He assumed his stance before Yohn.

"So there you have your answer."

Kayne countered his inquiry.He unfolded his journey through the awe trip of the astral plane and his new revelation of the secrets of the island.

"But what is this all about?Why worship the avatars?"

Kayne now attacked with questions.

"We believe in something we call the Shris,spirits of belief.They absorb the faith of man and give it all to a spirit in the spirit world to make it powerful."he begins to explain the plan,even though he had no trust in Kayne,Yohn let the cat out of the bag,hoping that Kayne would help make the plan a success.Becoming a new member of their team.Seeing how brave the boy was,gave him a go ahead.

"If the spirit of Aang gets enough belief and faith to awaken,he would push his state back into his body with abnormal strength to hold both sides of this world,light and darkness,Raava and Vaatu.he added.

"You want to put both Raava and Vaatu in one body?"Kayne had no marvelous idea to beat this.It was strange to think of it but was worth the try.

"Yes,try balance of both.Thats why we named ourselves based on the motive".Kayne said it all with great optimism introduce his opinion to the world.

"I know you're letting this secret out with an attempt to get me involved,but would the name of this team be classic if I'm to work with it?Kayne asked him knowing they needed his aid in the task.Being the only one to actually come to contact with the Shris.Yohn wouldn't hesitate to let out the name.

"The Spirit Central"he threw it all out like an unprofessional emcee.

"Hmmmm?"Kayne hummed in his thoughts.

Yohn was yet to blabber the rest of the persuasive essay to Kayne but a sudden whisper of wind blew by his face.More than a survival instinct,he felt an unwanted person in the vicinity.

"Tenzin is here."He sensed his presence.Kayne couldn't acknowledge it since there was no special alarm to inform of them of a visitor or even an enemy,if he was to infiltrate.Even he himself had the power of vibrations as an earth bender to sense an object from afar,but Yohn was different.Kayne spotted it immediately,he didn't have to guess.

For a person to have the capability to sense the presence of someone that far he would need gadgets to assist.

And Yohn for a person had none.With knowing he wasn't fond to at least some element of his nature and paying attention to the details of the surroundings,only one element could assist a bender in radar vision.

"You're an air bender!!"Yohn yelled it out after a long boring stare at Yohn who was leaving the room hatefully with some.collected items.He stopped at the door with his back facing Kayne.

"Don't tell anyone this"Yohn warned it with a threatened face,his eyes brows calmed to utter the next words.

"I know you thinking why I hid my bending,but I didn't want to be a student of Tenzin."Kayne stood to watch the calm man who educated him on meditation get restless.

"He mustn't know we have a cult if you meet him,Got it?"he concluded with sharp tone on the last couple of words.Talking like Kayne was his son.

Ring!!Ring!!!

The little golden bells rang,hanged to the corner of every door.The men came out of their rooms in respond to the alarm.It meant only one news and which was the arrival of Tenzin.

Kayne joined the boat to the main island in a dilemma to either to play on Yohn's side and team or follow his plans.
