I report back to the ship, and as I'm climbing on I see a sunset. I think it's beautiful, just like Toph. My pleasant thoughts are interrupted by Assy's loud voice, she talking to the captain.

"The avatar has been sighted, he's on his way to Ba Sing Se," the captain reports.

"Is there any way too cut them off?" Assy asks.

"Princess Azula, I'm not sure, you'll have to ask the navigator. Assy storms off and she heads towards the navigator's cabin. I stay outside to get some fresh air and some alone time. In my mind several questions run through my head: What will I do when I find the avatar? How will I teach the avatar? How will Toph react to me. They all have the same answer" I don't know. It's hard for a twelve year old to understand the twists and turns of life.

In the distance, I spot land, I know that the avatar is there, I can just tell. I report to my room and await the answers to my many questions.

As I wake up, I hear the shouts of the captain, "All men to stations!" I change out of my silk pajamas and into my battle armor. I walk out and ask to a passing guard, "What is going on? Who's attacking us?"

"Prince Azel, we've spotted a small group of men from the water tribe. The engine has been severely damaged from something in the water."

"One more question; what is that foul smelling scent in the air? Did Assy forget to bathe today?"

"We're not sure, but Prince Azel you should go to the escape boat with your sister and her companions. Then you can sail to the land and take out the water tribe warriors," the guard answers.

I head off to the escape boat and Ty Lee meets me on my way there. She says, "The men on the shore look easy to take out. Maybe there'll be some cute boys there!"

I respond by saying, "We should hurry up before Assy and Butt leave without us."

"Good idea!" We rush to the boat and Assy and Butt are already waiting for us.

"What took you so long," Butt says.

Before I can answer Ty Lee says, "Never mind, let's just get out of this reeking piece of crap."

All four of us pile into the escape boat. As usual Assy and Butt are developing some kind of plan.

I interrupt them, "Scratch the plan, we're almost to shore and they're already gone."

Assy responds, "They're probably planning to ambush us. It doesn't matter though, because they are no match for us."

We dock the boat and wait to see if the water tribe men attack, but they don't. So we get off the boat and walk in the direction of the distant walls of Ba Sing Se. Then suddenly, the warriors jump out from behind the trees.

My senses tell me that Assy, Butt, and Ty Lee are in a fighting mood, but I don't want to harm these innocent men. Ty Lee flips up into the air and this our distraction. It leaves Assy and Butt with open shots on the warriors. I create a wall of lighting that surrounds us. " Leave us be and we will not harm you," I shout.

They seem to be discussing what their next move is going to be. After a short time their leader shouts, "We'd rather die than surrender to the Fire Nation!"

Both Assy and Butt snicker, "That can be arranged." Assy shoots a piece of the lightning wall at the leader. He just barely missed it, but the others were less fortunate.

"Enough!" I screech. The fighting momentarily halts. I step between both sides and tell my sister and her friends, "Back off! Or you'll have to deal with me!"

They slowly turn and back away and retreat to the ship. I turn around and face the warriors, but they're gone, then I feel a surge of pain drive through the back of my head and…
