Chapter 1

Azula stood back into the corner she had been forced into by her enemies and family. Iroh looked at Toph and noticed she was with the Avatar. She's on their team. Iroh's distracted nature would be punished by Azula opportunist actions. She fired a quick and decisive fire blast at Iroh.

The still air filled with a hard and painful groan, not Iroh's but Zuko's. He had jumped in the way of the blast protecting his uncle. Aang and his friends quickly fired their attacks to Azula, but her flame shield had enough of a smoke screen for her escape.

Toph rushed to Iroh,"Is this your nephew?".

Iroh holds back tears,"Yes, young one."

Toph gestures back to Katara for her help. Katara begins healing Zuko's chest burn as Sokka inwardly fills up with concern. Zuko is still unconscious but the wound is closing and the bleeding ending.

With a mildly happy smile Katara speaks,"Iroh, the bleeding is over but Zuko will need many healing sessions for the next week. If your open to it, you may both travel with us." Katara looks back to her team. Toph nods her head to show her allowance of Iroh and Zuko. Aang has some half/half expression to his face but Sokka stares down Katara with a glare that speaks only a blatant, No.

As Katara walks back to the group for a discussion Sokka begins to whisper,"Katara, Zuko is too dangerous to have around with us. At any second he take Aang."

"As the Avatar I see the danger to this, but as Aang I must sympathize with Zuko and his uncle."

Toph continues,"When I left you guys I met with Iroh, he told me about how his nephew is confused."

Sokka caves to convincing,"Fine, but I think we should have an eye out every night and be on alert always."

Scoffing as always,"Whatever 'warrior wolf tail'." Toph said as they walk back snickering from the joke.

Katara and Aang bring Zuko on Appa. The rest of them wait on top of the animal to leave for a somewhere that Aang can start his earthbending training.
