-AANG-

In front of me sat some of the greatest masters in the world. They were all members of an elite society, The Order of The White Lotus.

Just barely 3 weeks ago, they'd been responsible for recovering the Earth Kingdom capital, Ba Sing Se.

A few of the members were familiar faces. Three of them, Pakku, Piandao and Jeong-Jeong, had been masters to various people in the group, one, Bumi, a friend, and the other, Zuko's Uncle Iroh.

I pressed my fists together and bowed politely. "You requested to meet with me?"

Piandao motioned for me to sit. "Yes Aang, we have important matters to discuss with you."

My eyes shifted across the 5 men, each face read blank, no emotions. "About what?"

Iroh stood, "Aang. You successfully managed to defeat my brother Ozai, and some sense of balance has been brought back." He briefly pointed at a map. "The Nations, though, are still in disarray. You and Zuko need to work together tightly, if the world is going to regain the stability it once had."

I listened thoughtfully. "Okay…what are you suggesting?"

Iroh continued, "We, as a society, have come to a conclusion that Zuko must stay in the Capital City to readjust the government. We also think that you're friends, Katara, Toph, Sokka and Suki should help him."

I titled my head, a little puzzled. "Alright…But where does that put me?"

Iroh took a deep breath, "Aang, we need to you to further fulfill your duties as the Avatar. We need you to travel the world for the next two or three years, fixing things wherever you can."

"By myself? But…Katara…" My voice trailed off, I couldn't think of what else to say.

Pakku stood, jumping in before Iroh could respond. "Aang, we expect you to leave as soon as possible. And I know Katara, if she cares about you as much as she appears to, she'll wait for you."

Iroh nodded somberly. "Dismissed."
