Still Halloween 👻

【General Iroh X OC Zoe】

They were originally on a covert mission, but to their surprise, Zoe was accidentally spotted by a stray child. She rushed over to talk to the child, unaware that the child had been frightened and passed out (and she didn't realize that she was the one who had scared the child).

After making sure the child was safe, she continued with her secret mission and left a few pieces of candy by the child's side.

Others also caught a glimpse of Iroh, and this turned into an urban legend among the homeless, slowly morphing into a widely known nursery rhyme.

“They emerge in the dark, from the shadows they appear,

The blue spirit, so sad, the red spirit, with anger clear.

For naughty kids who won't obey,

The blue spirit may steal you away.

The red spirit, with fury, your bending they'll take,

But don't you worry, don't be afraid, for goodness' sake.

In dreams, they hold no sway,

So close your eyes, my child, and sleep through the night and day.”

I love the parallel of Avatar Yangchen, Avatar Aang, and Avatar Korra battling spirits in the same location hundreds of years apart.

Starting off with some high energy driving related then moving into some that probably give me a bit too much energy when I'm actually driving. 😅

Love seeing Def Leppard and Quiet Riot on that list 🙌🤘
