"The Earth Kingdom…..has fallen…." The Earth King proclaimed gravely. The four could do nothing but nod their heads in unison. It had been a long day….there was nothing more that they could do.
Sokka commanded Appa to head to the outskirts of Ba Sing Se. Surely there would be some villager who would be happy to take in the Earth King AND the Avatar.
"Oh! Your highness!" The young girl bowed as she greeted them at the door. "And the Avatar….? What's going on?" Her mother asked suspiciously.
Sokka sighed as he answered, "If you don't mind, that answer cannot be given until morning." The girl nodded hurriedly as she prepared some hot tea and some temporary beds for their non-royal vistors. "We don't have many beds, I'm afraid," she added apologetically.
Of course, neither Toph or Sokka cared much, and they collapsed into a heap on their individual "beds". Katara tucked Aang in, and provided him with the warmest blankets that the girl had offered. "Sweet dreams, Aang," she said as she walked out the door.
This would be the longest night of their lives.
