Aang began to awaken. He saw the blue sky above him, clouds also filled the sky. Aang sat up, he looked at the bite wound on his left arm, it looked a little swollen, but also looked like it was healing.

"I better get back to camp.'' he said to himself. Aang hurried back to camp, hoping that he didn't worry the others, too much.

Katara, Sokka, and Toph, were looking around, searching for the young Avatar. "Where could he be!?'' Sokka exclaimed.

Aang made his way through the bushes, they all looked at Aang and hurried over to him. Katara hugged the Airbender tightly.

Katara backed away, "Where have you been? We've been looking for you all morning!'' Katara said.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.'' Aang said.

"Well, at least now we can go.'' Sokka said, heading for Appa.

"Go where?'' asked a puzzled Aang.

"To the North Pole. A messenger came by this morning and gave us a message.'' Katara added, walking over to Appa, with Aang and Toph following.

They all got on and Aang sat on Appa's head. Aang gave the classic "Yip, Yip!'' and Appa soared into the sky.

"So what'd the message say?'' asked Aang.

"It said that our dad is there, and he wants to tell me something important.'' Katara said.

"It's making me curious.'' Sokka said, laying back, but Katara sent him a glare.

"I know I'm going to hate this.'' said Toph.

"Don't worry, Sokka can help you around, right Sokka?'' Katara said.

Sokka just hid his face and grumbled. Aang was thinking, what's going to happen to him? "What was that beast I saw last night? And that bite.'' Aang thought to himself, as he looked at the bite wound. Who knows what may come next.


Shadow began to awaken, he was in his normal form of course, his whole body was back to normal. He slowly got to his feet, then looked around with a surprised and confused look on his face.

"This doesn't look good.'' he said to himself.

Shadow was standing on the edge of a glacier in the water. He saw in the distance, the Northern Water Tribe city. "I'm in the Avatar World.'' he said.

A groan reached his ears. That groan came from Appa soaring over his head. "It's them!'' Shadow exclaimed.

Shadow's hover shoes fired up, and he took off into the air, following the flying bison. Shadow landed on one of the ice houses, where Appa landed by. The gang all hopped off, and went inside the house.

"I'm going to talk to dad, I'll be back in a few minutes.'' Katara said, putting on her parka and heading outside.

Shadow watched her from the roof. "I wonder what they're doing here.'' Shadow said.

Katara walked up the steps leading to the chief's palace. She went inside, and saw Chief Arnook and her dad, Hakoda talking to each other.

"Dad!'' she exclaimed joyfully, running towards him.

Hakoda turned towards her, opening his arms up, as she embraced her father. She broke apart and looked up at him.

"We got your message, so what's so urgent about coming here?'' Katara asked.

"Well, Katara, me and the Chief were talking, and we decided on an arranged marriage for you.'' Hakoda said.

Katara widened her eyes "What?'' she muttered, taking a step back.

"Your getting married.'' Chief Arnook added.

"W-Why? How could you do this!'' Katara exclaimed running away in tears.

"Katara, wait!'' Hakoda called, about to run, but Arnook put a hand on his shoulder, making him stop.

"Just give her some time, she needs it.'' Arnook said, then walked away with his eyes closed.

Shadow was standing on the same house the gang were in. He looked at the sun, getting close to set. He heard something, he looked behind him and ran over to the edge of the house.

He saw Katara walking down the path towards the house. "What's wrong with her?'' he asked confusedly.

But suddenly, shadow felt a pain in his stomach. "No…NOT NOW!'' he exclaimed in pain, as the transformation of the Werehog began.
