406 406. The Spirit God
[A/N: A Lot of Info Dump in this chapter for the next world.]
Alexander spent a good amount of time with his brother. They even went to Disney World after their pizza trip. They just had normal human fun.
After that, Jesus returned to his job and he returned to his. He was again thrown into a new world.
Alexander opened his eyes and looked around. He was in a jail cell it seemed, and from the movement, he could say it was a ship.
"What weird past do I have now?" he asked himself. He looked around to make sure no one was seeing him. He took out the phone from his pocket and checked it. The moment he opened the message memories covered his mind and he started to see them.
[Memory Starts]
It was an ancient world where spirits and humans were both present. But the spirits were a danger to mortal humans.
To protect themselves they took refuge over the shells of the mighty lion turtles who were master of one of the forces of nature, Air, Earth, Fire, and Water.
Whenever people would have to venture into the wilds to collect food, the lion turtles would bestow upon the hunters the ability to control their own element. Because the distance between each turtle was big, the different communities never met each other, this, eventually, made the majority of the cities lose contact and knowledge of each other's existence, and developed unique cultures with time.
But then came a young man named Wan. He misused the power of the lion turtle for selfish desire and for it he got banished into the spirit wilds.
He traveled to many places and on one of his journeys. Wan mistakenly severed the link connecting Raava and Vaatu, the two oldest known spirits representing light and darkness, in the process he released chaos into the world.
Vaatu was freed and caused chaos and this needed to be stopped. Hence the light spirit, Raava, and Wan began their journey to master elements. Soon the time of the battle between the two spirits every ten thousand started coming closer.
For this, Raava and Wan bonded together permanently, making Wan the first avatar.
Wan then went on to defeat and lock away Vaatu in an elemental barrier in the hollow of the Tree of Time. He also ordered the spirits to return to their world and then separated the two realms by sealing the spirit portals located at the North and South Poles.
As the world now had a new protector, the Avatar, the lion turtles collectively decided that their task as protectors of mankind was done and that they would no longer grant any more bending powers.
At the same time, another legend became famous throughout the world. The legend of the Spirit God. During the days of the spirit wilds, an old man used to traverse the lands, helping and befriending spirits and humans alike. He was always accompanied by two of his subordinates and 9 of his spirit beasts.
After the spirits were locked away, the old man also disappeared as if unhappy with what transpired. In the meantime, humanity deboarded the lion turtles.
Many villages and factions were formed as a result. They begin to come in to contact with each other. The different peoples begin to wage war against each other, forcing Wan to intervene in order to maintain peace. His efforts, however, were of little success. Violent conflicts continue until his death and beyond.
After the death of Wan as the avatar, the cycle continued and the will of Avatar passed on. Then came Salai, and after that Szeto of Fire nation who strengthened his own country more. Then came Yangchen.
Yangchen was the Air Nomad Avatar from the western air temple. succeeding Avatar Szeto. After mastering all the elements in her youth, she was eager to make a difference in the world, despite her inexperience.
She left the air temple at a young age and looked to help people. But her inexperience was obvious in her brash methods of helping people. She never backed down from a conflict which in turn created more problems.
Then she came to a small village in the Earth kingdom called Yu Dao. Seeing the poor village and its poverty-stricken population, she tried to help.
But, that instead started the fight among the villagers to receive her aid first. She then beat the villagers up which incited the village against her. She could not understand why people were behaving like this, even though she was just trying to help them.
"This is human nature, no matter what you do, there will always be a selfish desire to want things for themselves first. Most are like this but there always come a few exceptions." Alexander appeared in his old man's attire in the village. He was still wearing the same attire as in Naruto world.
Yangchan saw Alexander and felt the vibe of a wise man. She greeted him with a bow and asked, "Then how can people like these be helped?"
"You give the hungry man a fish, he will eat it and ask again. If you teach a hungry man to catch fish, he will never go hungry. Just like that, this village is poor because they don't know how to make money. Teach them trade and other crafts that they can sell, this way they will never go poor. You still have a lot to learn, young avatar," he explained.
After that, Yangchan learned many things under Alexander and eventually evolved to be a great Avatar. Due to her devotion, no threats of the war occurred for an entire generation after her death. In death, she was revered as a holy individual, and people in the Earth Kingdom even began to pray to her for protection.
After that encounter, a legend of a mysterious old man who guides Avatars started to spread around the world. People believed it was the old Spirit God who had appeared again.
Every Avatar that came after Yangchan was taught and helped by the old man at some point.
One Avatar, Kyoshi, was even adopted by the old man. Kyoshi was born to two criminals. Jesa, a renegade Air Nomad nun, and Hark, a thief from an impoverished family of Earth Kingdom actors.
When Kyoshi was five or six, however, her parents decided to leave her in the care of a villager at Yokoya Port, an impoverished community of farmers and fishers located in the southwestern Earth Kingdom.
When her parents had departed, the villager immediately reneged on the deal, casting Kyoshi out onto the streets. As they were mostly poor themselves, the people of Yokoya had little sympathy for her and would have left her to die of hunger.
Homeless and reduced to starvation, Kyoshi survived by eating garbage, making her even more of an outcast among the Yokoyans.
But when she was near death due to starvation, the spirit God appeared and adopted the girl.
"Come with grandpa little one, you don't need to ever go hungry again, I will also teach you bending" He offered her.
He taught her a great many things and made her a great Avatar. She was one of the strongest Avatars to ever live. Her Earth bending was so strong that if she tried using it it would go out of control and disrupt the earth's tectonic plates. For this reason, she used her fans to control earth bending powers. She also rarely used Earth bending because of it being too strong.
But still, her work couldn't stop the already existing problems of earth kingdom which led to a lot of social unrest. But then suddenly the Avatar disappeared.
After that came the Avatar from the fire nation named Roku. He too received help from the Spirit God at one point. He was the first one to write down a brief known history of Spirit God and the experiences of previous Avatars with the Spirit God. It was he who popularized the Spirit God, leading to a new temple of worship for the immortal being who teaches the Avatar.
After the unfortunate death of Avatar Roku, the new Avatar was born in the Southern air temple. But due to a tragic incident, shortly before the beginning of the Hundred Year War, Avatar Aang was frozen in an iceberg for a hundred years.
Only to later find out that during his absence, the Fire Nation had waged war upon the other nations and managed to completely wipe out the pacifistic Air Nomads.
In those hundred years, because there was no Avatar, no sightings of the Spirit God happened either. Although Alexander still did many things away from people's eyes.
Alexander just waited for the next Avatar to come while he spent most of his time watching the world and roaming the spirit realm. But when he heard the news of a young bald boy going around with multiple bending powers, Alexander headed to him.
But, he found out that Avatar was being hunted by the Fire Kingdom and particularly Prince Zuko. Alexander went ahead to confront them as a traveler, only to find a banished kid trying to prove himself to his worthless father.
He also met a good wise man named Iroh with whom he shared drinks. But the prince didn't like that and tried to put them in prison, which Dobby and Alexander voluntarily accepted, as otherwise, they would have ended up destroying the ship. Alexander had a plan that he was going to make a good man out of Zuko and make him the better Fire Lord in the future.
[Memory Ends]
"Ah, only if I had control over my body in the past, I could have solved this whole mess even before it began." He loudly thought while sitting in his prison cell.
"Well, let's get to work then,"
