Chapter 429: Zuko's Decision
Zuko was feeling lost these past many days. He was not sure what he wanted to do in his life. So, he just roamed around the whole of Ba Sing Se, without a decided destination.
He unknowingly came to the poorest part of the city. For as far as he could see there was dirt and bad odor from all the piled up garbage. Along the street, he saw many kids sitting on the sides. Their eyes looked lifeless and bodies malnourished. He could see their bone structure as there was no muscle fat left.
Then, to his surprise, he saw Alexander walking to each child and doing something which would make the kids healthy in every way possible. A child who had been on the verge of death just started to jump around in a matter of seconds.
He knew that the man was Spirit God and thought that maybe, following him can answer some of his questions.
"Ah, Zuko, come here and help me." Before Zuko could approach Alexander called him.
"Come, help me care for these children. The food rations will take a little time to get distributed, so I am making sure no life is lost." Alexander said.
Zuko and Alexander walked to the next kid and kneeled in front of him. This one too had lifeless and hopeless eyes. His stomach had deflated, making his ribcage appear in detail. His body was filthy as dirt was all over his ragged clothes and even skin. The smell of urine was all over him too.
"What is your name, child?" Alexander asked while using magic to heal him.
"Tai... Chin"
