Awaking from unconsciousness Aang discovers that he is tied to a tree and Katara, Sokka, and Toph were tied to the tree next to him. "Hey are you" Aang starts to say before one of the guards interrupted him. "No Talking!" shouts the guard. When he turned his over to the other side of the tree all he could do was listen on in horror as the Uruk-hia debated over which one of his friends they would eat first.
But to Aang's relief Aknush came back over to the tree to quiet the troops. "Quiet maggots, word from Saruman are that we can't eat the prisoners he wants them all in one piece" Aknush commanded. Many groans and growls of frustration could be heard and the Uruk-hia were growing restless. Luckily for Aknush two of his Uruks had brought back deer they hunted and began cleaning them and handing out meat to the others. The guard assigned to watch Aang and his friends untied their hands and gave them a chunk of meat, a flask of some type of liquid and some stale bread.
"Well I guess will have to make the best of this" Katara said trying to be optimistic. The group started by eating the bread and when it came to the meat no one dared touch it not even Sokka. But what really got them was the vile liquid in the flask. After one sip each of them was coughing violently. "Ha, you humans have weak stomachs can't keep your grog down" said one of the on looking Uruks.
After the disaster of a meal they had the group decided to try and sleep although Katara had trouble making herself close her eyes for one second with the monster like creatures lurking around. As dawn broke the night sky Aang awoke to the sound of rustling in the bushes. He couldn't exactly see what it was although it kind of looked like another person. Before he could dismiss the thought a large boulder was sent flying through the air and landed on one of the Uruks. Soon many boulders were flying through the air and the Uruk-hia camp was in chaos. Aknush seeing no other options ordered a retreat and the remaining Uruk-hia fought there way out to safety.
Several Earth kingdom soldiers emerged from the bush and started untying Aang and his friends. They directed Aang over to their captain who started to speak with him. "Ah, so you must be the avatar I'm sorry we couldn't help you sooner but those creatures set up guars all over this place the night before". My Name is Captain Shonvit and my superiors have requested your presence at Namashu for an immediate council" the captain said with great command.
