AUTHOR: Heatmizzer

PREVIOUSLY ON AVATAR:

Katara, has continued through the huge forest of Sun She by foot feeling Aang's vibrations. When she finds Aang, he is in Avatar state against a tree; above him is a picture of Ying craved in the tree. Immediately, she comes near him and sits near him.

As Zuko, makes plans to overturn, Azula's plan to over throw her own Father, a thread in his past is revealed that will certainly change his plan forever.

Over on the other side of the forest, Sokka remains near Toph as the rain pours down, he begins to break down his vision…to Momo and Appa of course…

"You know, I never thought that I'd be here, helpless. I am a leader, a warrior; I would make sure that the southern water tribe would be there at the end of war. That it would continue…now I keep asking myself why? WHY?" Sokka let out in a scream. "I have served my people well, I have helped Aang greatly and now you take Toph away. I should be laying there, not her, she is needed. It's people with out power that should suffer, Aang will over throw the Fire Lord, and Katara will be at his side and on the other side, you Toph. I saw it…you hear me Toph. I saw you there…I saw you up and about, so now it's your turn, your turn to get up. Please." Sokka continued laying his face against Toph's bust. "I can't lose you, not now."

"And you won't Sokka…" a voice continued.

"Avatar Roku? AVATAR ROKU? I'm asking you now, is this a test? What am I suppose to do? How do I get back? Show yourself?" Aang called out walking among a dessert. "SHOW YOURSELF?" suddenly Avatar Roku appeared.

"Aang, you called."

"Yes, I'm not usually up for just falling into avatar state and not being able to go back."

"You do not control the state of Avatar, you are a vessel."

"I am Aang, and I just happen to be Avatar."

"You are the avatar who just happens to be Aang."

"Well, who says so…I never asked to be, I saw the vision, I know what happens."

"It's the path that an avatar must take, a season."

"Then why must I choose to die? You never said that in order to restore peace, my life ends."

"Aang, it is the path of an avatar. You have known so…"

"Yes, but I never was made aware of the fact that I would die."

"You are right."

"I am."

"Yes, therefore, I shall give you the life you have wanted. You shall have a day to live free and as soon as the sun set on the eyes of Yin Shun and the right side is restored. You will have made a decision."

"What?" Aang continued. Suddenly, he awoke to find Katara lying against his chest. "Katara?" he whispered, suddenly Katara awoke and grinned.

"Aang." She whispered back, he then kissed her.

"Uncle, is this true?" Zuko replied.

"I will not be apart of this, Zuko."

"Than Uncle, again you have disgraced me? Again you have chosen the wrong side? The side of my sister."

"I have not-"

"If you will not confirmed than I am to believe that it is true and that my great grandfather's death and my Father's promotion was the doings of my sister."

"I will not have any part, you are not your sister, but if you are to use this information to rise against your sister and Father…than your fate is worst, and by the hands of the avatar." Uncle continued. As Zuko, clinched his fists, he cleared his throat and headed towards the exit. He stopped right before the door and turned towards his once powerful Uncle, his mentor, his teacher, now the pathetic ness his sister had always pegged him as.

"Then you're nothing to me." Zuko said walking out, as Iroh fell against the wall, he had tears in his eyes. Again he would lose a son, again he would have to morn and again would he be without a family or would he. Immediately Iroh headed out of the flat, he and Zuko had lived in for a year.
