After a few minutes of chatting and lots of quotes and jokes from Iroh, the man of the house arrived. He was shocked seeing so many people inside but the moment he saw Zuko his face fell.
The reaction didn't go unnoticed by Alexander and Iroh.
"Dear, look. The Spirit God has come to our home. This is such a wonderful occasion." Noriko excitedly told him everything.
Just one look at the man's face proved to Alexander what he wanted to know.
"Hello there, young man, come, drink some tea with us old boys." Alexander invited him.
"Thank you, Spirit God. I am Noren, I run the Hira'a Acting Troupe." Noren introduced himself.
"Oh, an actor. Well, it's a nice profession. Entertaining people is hard. Not everyone is born a joker like our boy Sokka here." Alexander joked.
"Hey, that was a personal attack. I will remember it old man, I will strike when you least expect it." Sokka warned him.
"Heh, what can you even do? You can't even bend, Boomerboy," Toph scoffed at him.
"Woah, that is discrimination, Toph. Bad girl," Sokka complained.
"Hey, Toph, you have given everyone names except the old man and his two old friends, why such difference?" Sokka asked, trying to get back at Alexander.
Toph huffed, "Huh, I don't want to anger the gods. You are welcome to try,"
Alexander laughed hearing that, "It's all right, child, call me whatever you want. Like I have nicknamed them. Raggy is Heat man and Dobby is Pretty boy."
"Oh, then I will call you Twinkle star," Toph exclaimed.
"Why is that?" Alexander asked.
"Because you always look perfect, shiny with your white beard and always in clean clothes. Also, your whole aura screams 'I AM A GOD, MORTALS'" Toph made fun of him.
Alexander heartily laughed, "Well, If this is what my name is going to be then I have no problem. Okay, let's get back to the main topic, come, Noren, this is my special drink called firewhiskey,"
"Ah, thank you," Noren took the cup and drank it. His heart was racing in nervousness.
"Do you have something to tell us, Noren?" Alexander asked.
"What are you talking about, Grandpa?" Aang inquired.
"Does she not know?" Alexander asked Noren.
~Of course he would know everything. He's a god.~ Noren thought and nodded.
"She doesn't remember anything," Noren answered.
Noriko confusedly looked at her husband, "What are you talking about, dear? What do I not remember?"
"Noriko, your real name is Ursa, you are the mother of Fire Lord Zuko," Noren announced, looking at Zuko.
Zuko was shocked. Noriko's face didn't match his mother's at all. "But how? She doesn't look like her at all."
Noren then started telling everything, "It was the Mother of Faces, She... after Ursa was taken away, I thought life couldn't get any worse than that. But I was wrong, in days to come I was attacked by assassins multiple times, I knew they were hired by Prince Ozai of that time.
In a few seconds, Noriko's face changed and she became just like she used to be. From Noriko to back to Ursa,
"Do you want your memories too?" The spirit asked.
Alexander quickly intervened, "Ah, no need for that. I got this. Your mental manipulation methods are at a very low level. It's just a simple memory block."
Alexander did his own magic by putting his hand on her head. He used his mind arts and removed the memory block.
She suddenly lost balance as memories rushed into her mind. Zuko was quick to jump and catch.
"Mother, are you okay?" he asked.
But there were only tears in her eyes. Tears and regret of leaving him behind because if she had taken him with her then he wouldn't have received the burn mark.
"I am sorry, Zuko," She cried while caressing his burnt face.
She then quickly called for Azula, "Come here, Azula, my beautiful daughter."
"Mom, why didn't you take us with you?" Azula finally asked.
"I wanted to, my children. But Ozai threatened that he would kill us all if I did that and I was sure he would have really done it." Ursa reveled. Making Azula find a new reason to hate Ozai.
Alexander let them have their moment. In the background, the mother of faces was trying to seduce Alexander when he refused continuously.
"What about him? This dragon god?" Alexander put Ragnarok forward.
"Dammit, Alex, don't burn me in your fire. Save your ass on your own." Ragnarok complained and jumped away.
Alexander then looked at Dobby. But Dobby was quick to speak, "Don't even think about it, boss. Or else I will give your Momoiro island photos to Olivia."
"WHAT! This is Blackmail. You hurt my feelings, Dobby," Alexander made a sad face.
"Little Kiyi, what do you think, isn't uncle Dobby perfect for her?" Alexander asked.
Kiyi looked at all of them first and then at Alexander, "NO! Grandpa is the best,"
Alexander facepalmed himself.
"Spirit God, my offer still sta..." Mother of Faces tried to speak.
"Nope, the answer is still no." Alexander confidently denied.
