Whoot! I'm back. Its kind of late so this note isn't going to be long. Read and review. Thats all I have to ask.

Chapter 1
"Katara! Come here! You have to see this!" Sokka yelled across the camp to his younger sister.
Katara looked up from the candle in front of her. Her concentration broken, the nearly quenched flame returned to its normal state.
"What is it?" she heard Toph ask.
"It's a catbird," Aang responded, then said, panicked, "And it's hurt. Katara we need you!"
The 16 year old girl blew out her candle and hurried over the where the catbird lay struggling to breathe. There was a large wound in its beautifully striped hide, covering its otherwise blue feathers in sticky red blood.
Drawing water from her canteen she placed her hands over the animals wound. The gash was deep, cutting through muscle and sinew to the poor creatures ribs.
Slowly knitting the muscle and sinew back together, Katara felt the catbirds breathing ease. When the animal started to move around under her hands, she let it go.
The catbird stood up and started to twine, purring, around Kataras hands. Thats when Sokka noticed it.
The cat had a collar. A Fire Nation collar. And on the collar it said:
Sirrah
Property of Azula
Zuko was runing.
What he was running from or where he was running to, he had no idea.
Then he spotted a cave. His uncle was sitting at the entrance, drinking tea from a golden tea cup and teapot.
Seemingly unseeing of his nephew, Iroh stood up and walked into the cave, trailing smoke behind him.
Wondering what had gotten into his uncle, Zuko followed, stopping only once he was inside the entrance. Iroh was nowhere to be seen. Instead, something else was.
A dragon.
An angry dragon.
Just as his body was consumed by flame, he heard in his mind, Find me!
And he woke up.
