"What do you mean this ship isn't headed to Ba Sing Se?" Fierce golden eyes looked upon the Captain of the cargo ship with aggravation. She had stolen the ship route map from the dock personnel so that she could make it to Ba Sing Se and be free from the chains that bonded her. Ba Sing Se was the one place she could go undetected by most and be free. Now her plans were drastically changed due to the small mishap that this prehistoric fossil wasn't headed towards Ba Sing Se at all.

" Miss I wasn't assigned to take that route." The captain cowered under her terrifying glare. He was an older man with a balding head and little white hair still left. He was past his expiration date it seemed. Little did he expect trespassers on his route.

"You mean to tell me that the route map hasn't been updated and I boarded the wrong ship? Well this is a rather big nuisance. Wasted energy on throwing your crew over board only to find out we're going in the opposite direction of where I want to go." The she closed her eyes and rubbed the bridge of her nose.

"Ma'am please forgive me, I'll take you wherever you're headed." The old man wept at her feet.

" Tell me why I shouldn't kill you now?" The woman held no facial expression. Just cold eyes that bored into the depths of the poor man's soul, leaving him speechless and terrified.

"You're to pathetic to kill, old man. Where are we headed?" The woman looked at the cargo ship captain disgust. She had dealt with all of the crew in some form or another but found it a waste of energy to kill the only man who knew where they were.

" Kyoshi island ma'am." The man got to his feet hastily and resumed steering the ship. A frin crept across the woman's face.

"Time to visit an old friend."

"Three cartwheels and.. a flip!" Ty Lee landed an applause came from an older woman.

"Very nice, Ty Lee," The old woman sat in a rocking chair in the front of her home.

"Thank you Mrs. Tenshou! I've been practicing a lot." The acrobat grinned big at the old lady before cart wheeling off with a distant goodbye. Ty Lee came to her favorite area to practice. It was the most vegetated area in Kyoshi. Ty Lee flipped from branch to branch for what seemed like hours. She had quit practicing in town because the nickname circus freak almost always got thrown at her by even other fellow Kyoshi warriors. Here Ty Lee was free to let her mind and body go and have fun the way she used to in the palace court yard as a child almost.

The palace court yard held most of her fondest memories with Azula and Mai. Now it seemed so distant and far from how it used to be. But reality had finally struck Ty Lee that life wasn't going to turn back to normal. That she wasn't going to have Azula's secret soft side to coo her to sleep as she cried about her parents. The one person that knew how lonely Ty Lee actually felt wasn't here to hold her at night and brush her hair before she slept at night.

"what's that? Is that a merchant shi-" Ty Lee fell to the ground with a painful thud. She hadn't realized she was running out of trees and branches to swing from. Only to black out right away from a bad fall on the head.

Ty Lee…

Ty Lee…

"Ty Lee, wake up already."

Ty Lee opened her eyes to find a gold pair staring right back. Those eyes were familiar to her. Eyes she'd met many times before. But these weren't Suki's eyes, nor anyone from town's. These were the eyes of an old friend. And that voice too.. that gold stare that would make most shudder even if there back was turned and that voice that could make even the bravest bow down. But to Ty Lee, it was all so welcoming. Why is she here and how did she get here?

"Azula!"
