Chapter 2

Iroh, Zuko, and Renosku had been walking for miles in the dense forest when there was a huge problem. There was a river blocking there way across and the bridge was cut.

"Oh man, how are we gonna pass this, the current is too strong to swim through and it's too big to jump over." Renosku said looking at the river. So they sat down and tried to think of a way across the river

"I got an idea." Iroh said jumping to his feet. "Zuko help me cut this tree." Zuko then got up and using their firebending Iroh and Zuko cut the tree down which landed across the river.

"Yeah! Now we can get across!" Renosku said jumping to her feet and following the two others. "So where are we going?"

she asked Zuko as she walked up beside him.

"Uh, I don't know, you are the one who told us to go this way." He said glancing at her.

"Oh yeah I did say that didn't I." she said thinking to herself.

"Your not one too bright are you?" Zuko asked her as she almost walked into a tree while thinking about what she had said.

"Huh? Oh yeah, Whenever I think about something everything else just leaves my mind." she said as she walked on

"Look, there are some fruit trees and berry bushes we should stop and rest." Iroh said to the two teenagers.

So they all rested and ate. "Ahh, I love these fruit they are splended." Iroh said as he ate his 5 the apple.

"Uncle, don't eat so fast you will get sick and there is no doctors around probably." Zuko said to his uncle as his pace quickened in eating.

"Oooooo, I think your right Prince Zuko." Iroh said with a groan. He had eaten a rare azulmanzana. They are very dangerous if eaten.

"Oh no!" Iroh said looking at his arm. It was turning blue and purple.

"The azulmanzana makes your whole body pressured and if you don't get a doctor you will die." Renosku said getting up. She

started to climb a tree.

"What are you doing?" Zukos said as she was too far up to really hear him.

"There is a village to the east." she siad as she jumped down. "And that is where we are headed."

They walked along the river leading to a small village. There was a hut where a doctor took Iroh in to look at him. After

long antesepation THe doctor came back out to talk to Zuko and Renosku.

"the man will be fine." the doctor said and Zuko gave a sigh of relief. "However he will need to stay here for two days."

"Fine" Zuko said a got up and walked away.

"Zu... I mean hey wait!" Renosku said running after Zuko.

"Where are you going?" she asked him.

"I am going to try to find some where we can stay." he said as he walked on.

"Oh, ok." she said as they walked throught the village. It was a peaceful place, calm, and beautiful.

"Wow this place is wonderful." Renosku said as they looked around for an inn. Just then Zuko saw something. It was Azula.

"My Princess therre is a village just up ahead, should we stop?" the commander asked the Fire Princess.

"Hmm, yes let's stop and see if this village has seen my two lost relatives." she said with an evil smile on her face.

"Oh no." Renosku said with wide eyes. "That's Azula she must be searching for us."

Zuko's eyes widened slightly and him and Renosku ran back to the Doctor's hut.

"Uncle, we need to leave now." Zuko said coming into the hut.

"But why?" Iroh said getting out of his bed. "I was enjoying a peacful nap."

"Azula is on her way here and we need to leave before she gets here." Zuko said with much hast.

At that time the doctor heard what had said and then said that he could help them. He took them to a backroad to another village but there was one bad thing, there was miles of desert between the two villages.

"I'm sorry I could not do for you." The odctor said as he handed the three some food and water.

"Your kindness is very much obliged." Iroh said as they headed out on the backroad.

They reached the desert and after staring at it for like 10 minutes they set off on the long hard journey.

Azula is in the village and in an uproar.

"You mean they were here and you let them go!" she said with fire and lighting coming out of her fists.

"Let's head for the desert now!"

And with that they packed everything up and headed for the desert.

"It seems like we have been walking forever." Zuko said as her trugged along the endless desert.

"Hey what's that?" Renosku said peering into the distance.

"It's a tree we can have shade and rest."

They all went over to the tree that was standing in the middle of this hot desert. They sat down and ate some food and rested some. Soon though they were back on the trail. After walking for miles and when it was nearly sundown they came to an oasis.

"Finally." Iroh said as they quicken there pase to the oasis. Apparently it was farther than they thought so they were thrugging along by the time they got to it.
