Chapter 436: Conflicted Young Minds
For the whole of last night, Alexander helped all the airbenders settle down. He helped restore the whole temple and also prepare for the upcoming war. he could deal with it alone, but he wanted the world to feel that they were all united against Fire Nation. This would create a bit of a sense of unity among the nations.
"Okay, listen everyone. The only job of Airbenders will be to drop bombs from high in the sky. Even higher than the airships. You all will have telescopes so make sure not to make friendly fire. Airbenders will be the air support, Earth Benders will be the ground support and the Water benders will be the Naval support." He instructed all the adults.
"Spirit God, how long do you think this will last?" A man asked.
"Don't worry. Probably an hour or two. If anything too out of the ordinary happens I will intervene. Don't forget, this is your war for the future. A better future." He said, reminding them why they fought.
All the airbenders then ran away to ready their sky bison and loaded all the explosives. He had called a Seraph to come out to organize them so they don't make any mistakes.
Just when Alexander was about to leave to meet Dobby, Zuko came up to him. "Spirit God, can you tell me about my father? I want to know why he became like this. Why would he allow me, his own son, to be killed."
Alexander looked at Iroh who looked a bit saddened for some reason.
"Tell him, my friend. He won't take my word for it. He still thinks he needs to talk to his father." Iroh said.
[A/N: Remember, this is Zuko different from canon. Here, he never saw the dark side of his father personally or fought his sister seriously because of Alexander. He still doesn't know everything.]
