Freddie tossed and turned in his sleeping bag. He was having a nightmare. Apparently, he was watching too much Pirates of the Caribbean 3. He was on the ship, and it was just about to fall over The World's End.

He was pulling on ropes, trying to turn the ship around, when he suddenly awoke, sweating heavily. Suddenly, a thought dawned on him.

Your people have ideas that are generations away from the people here. You can think of a strategy to invade the Fire Nation homeland and penetrate the Castle through the element of surprise…

Before the Age of Exploration, it had always been thought that the world was flat. Freddie glanced at the map using the moonlight. It seemed as if the people here thought so too.

But Avatar Roku must have been hinting something. He studied the map, and noticed that the Fire Nation's west flank was not nearly as defended as the East.

If we could launch an exploration around the globe, we might end up on the Fire Nation's West Flank, and attack the palace with minimal loss of life. Not to mention that this strategy would be quicker.

Freddie was tired at the moment, but decided that he would announce his idea to Carly and Sam when he awoke. He fell back to sleep.

When everyone was awake and eating breakfast (that Freddie and Sam had caught), Freddie announced his brilliant plan. Sam liked it so much that she ran up and hugged him, in which they both backed away, blushing.

There was a moment of uncomfortable silence until Carly finally spoke up. "You know, we have no idea if this world has yet realized that their world is round.

"That's why we need to talk to the Avatar." Freddie said.

"I'm still trying to figure out how." Sam said.

"Aren't we all?" Carly asked.

King Bumi could sense the presence of a powerful Earthbender nearby. Only the Dai Li, him, and few others could match this vibe he was feeling.

He glanced around, and hoped that he wasn't about to be ambushed by a powerful member of the Dai Li.

He continued walking. He knew it was unsafe to be traveling without backup; he knew that the Earth King was traveling with a bear; but Bumi had no idea who to trust.

He found a nice, comfortable, grassy area and plopped down. He Earthbended over a couple berries and fruit, and started munching greedily. He still had that uncomfortable vibe of a strong Earthbender nearby.

Although many people don't know this, a small band of Airbenders had survived the raid by the Firenation. Small might be an overstatement. It was Tiny, Miniscule. Even those words were overstatements. There were only 7 adults, and 2 children. Along with a female lemur and a female bison.

They lived in a cave surrounded by enchantments the elders had casted before they passed away. Even though the Air Nomads were growing in number since the genocide, there was only one Bender in the group, and she was only 10 years old.

The girl's name was Noki, and some of the older monks believed that she a master airbender, even though her powers were nowhere near those of Aang's.

Every day, these airbenders would live their daily lives, always fearing someone might discover their hiding location. However, due to the lack of Bending powers and ancient temples, only Noki was able to sense the return of the Avatar. No one believed the 10 year old.

As soon as Toph's foot left metal and hit solid rock, her sensed came flooding back like a tsunami wave would to a piece of land. She immediately sensed a threat, a powerful Earthbender lurking in the forest.

But he was too far away for Toph to have a visual shape. Yes, Toph could sense that it was a he.

"Guys. I sense an extremely powerful Earthbender somewhere in that forest." Toph pointed.

"How many?" Aang asked.

"Just one."

"Why would there be a single Dai Li over there?" Sokka asked.

"I don't know. It doesn't seem like a member to the Dai Li to me…even though it is a guy." Toph explained.

"Anyways. We should be careful. We're just buying something, then getting the heck out of here." Aang said. That never really happened.

Ooh. Sorry for giving you that cliffy! I'll update as soon as I can…which is probably in a LOOOOOOONG Time.
