When Alanna got to the lake, Daine was surrounded by animals of all kinds: beavers, rabbits, a fox, and a lot of birds. She was laughing, and talking to the animals. Aang and a strange girl were a few yards away, talking to each other and watching Daine.

When the knights showed up, Daine sent her friends home. When the Flock showed up, she walked straight up to them.

"Hello, again."

Max jerked. She recognized that voice…

"Yes, you know me. I was the eagle that brought you to Alanna's camp. I told you I wasn't a real eagle; I'm basically a human, named Daine. I also told you that we'd be going to the castle, but I think we'll have to take a detour. Now, let's go talk to the boy who claims to know what's going on." Daine turned around and walked over to the Avatar and his friend. Max signaled the Flock to follow.

"…sure?" The girl had worry written all over her face.

"Katara, I'm sure. Toph can take care of herself. If she was transported, she'd probably end up either in a cave, or a mountain—both of which are plentiful in rocks. She…" The Avatar looked up and stopped talking when he saw the seven people standing in front of him and the soldiers approaching.

"Um, hello. You must be Aang's latest assignments from Ultima. I'm Katara, a friend of Aang's. But I thought he had eight patients this time. Where's the ghost-boy?" Katara was wearing a blue dress with a pouch on her hip. Her dark-brown hair was held back in a type of braid.

"I'm right here. And once again, HOW DO YOU KNOW I'M A GHOST?!" An angry Danny Phantom turned visible again.

Katara shrugged. "Ultima just puts the basic info into our heads when he transports us. And by 'once again' I'm going to guess someone besides Aang or I mentioned it. I don't know how they would know, though. Sorry." Danny floated away, grumbling.

Katara turned to look at Daine, saying, "You were talking to animals, so you must be Daine. I need you to ask as many animals as you can reach if they have seen a small human just appear out of nowhere and start throwing rocks or boulders around, or if they know any places with a bunch of big rocks; mountains, caves, that kind of thing. It's really important! I'll explain after they answer." Daine shrugged, but sat down and closed her eyes. A few moments later, she opened her eyes.

"A deer knows about a cave a few miles from here. A small group of sparrows saw a human nestling walking through the forest, but they don't know where it came from, and it hasn't been throwing Big Hards. Translating that to human phrasing, they saw a human child wandering through the forest, the child wasn't throwing large rocks, and they don't know if it's a boy or a girl."

"Where was the human seen last?"

"I can't exactly tell you where, because animals view distance and numbers differently than we do. I can show you though. Who are we looking for?"

Aang and Katara shared a brief glance. The Avatar made a quick decision, and answered, "Our friend, Toph. She has black hair, and she's blind. I don't know if she even got transported, but if she did, she'd be pretty mad. Take me there, please!" Daine nodded.

"Okay, just a second. Let me tell Alanna." Daine ran over to the lady-knight, said something that earned a shrug, and then transformed into a golden eagle. Aang got his glider and jumped on, and he and Daine flew away.
