Book 1: Fearless
Chapter 1: Only in Your Dreams
He saw the enemy strike and knew that the attack would land exactly where the attacker intended for it too. He knew that the attack was fatal and that he had to do something, but what could he do against such an enemy. Sokka lay on the ground unconscious thirty yards away, rendered so by a single blow from the enemy near the beginning of the battle. Toph was helpless, tied hand and foot on the enemy's great beast. Zuko was in a giant crater that had ben created by a light that had come from the enemy's hand, and he hadn't moved since he came to rest there. Katara was the only one left standing. Aang, with his abilities as limited as they had become, could barely fight. Whenever he struck, a mind numbing pain would shatter his consciousness and leave him defenseless on the ground. That is exactly what had happened, and as he saw the light approach the chest, everything slowed, except for him, and he saw everything happen in slow motion. Then it all went black and he woke up in a cold sweat. Everyone was fine and they were all sleeping soundly on the ground next to him. He knew that something was wrong. He kept having this dream over and over again, always the same. He lay back down and went to sleep. He would tell Katara about it in the morning.
