Be prepared for Dreams to end, because its last chapter will be around chapter ten.
I do not own Avatar or any of its characters. However, I own Drya, and that's about it.


Dreams Chapter Eight

Near the North Pole-

Katara alone was on Appa now. She had dropped off Sokka at Ba Sing Se. Hopefully, he would be fine. Finally, the North Pole came into sight. Katara grinned at the thought of seeing the great waterbending city, and then another sight wiped the grin off her face. It was the earthbenders. They were there, the ships full of stone and the furnace full of coal. They were deadly, dangerous. Katara set her jaw grimly. It seemed impossible to breach the North Pole's defenses, but who knew? The firebenders had done it. If she was lucky, maybe she could talk some sense into the earthbenders. If not, well, she would have to think of something else.


At Ba Sing Se-

Sokka desperately tried to convince the soldiers to let him get past.

"Please! I'm a close friend of the Avatar! I'm Sokka! You know, the meat and sarcasm guy?" The guards merely stared blankly and didn't make any move to let pass.

"Hey, no need to worry about this guy. I know him. Let him pass," a voice interrupted from behind the guards. The guards turned aside to let Sokka through. When Sokka finally passed the human wall, he saw who had spoken in his defense.

"Suki!" he exclaimed happily. Suki smiled and then frowned.

"Why do you need to see the king? You sounded pretty upset." She said. Sokka hung his head.

"It's really bad news, Suki. Really bad."


At the Fire Nation Capital-

Momo landed on a windowsill in the Fire Nation Palace. Zuko noticed him.

"What is it, Momo? Is Aang visiting again?" Momo replied with his usual monkey chatter and held out his paw. There was a scroll tied to it. Zuko gently untied the scroll and opened it. As he read, his became bigger and bigger, and he read faster and faster. When he reached the end of the scroll, he looked up at Momo, who was licking his paw.

"Momo, we have to warn them!" he said desperately and Momo flew after him as he raced through the palace.


At Omashu-

Aang, Toph, and Drya raced through the streets, rallying people to help them. The oppressed villagers grabbed any weapons they could and began to fight the earthbender warriors. Drya tackled one fiercely, and when he snapped her bow in half, she screamed in outrage and threw him into a cabbage cart.

"My cabbages!" the cabbage merchant yelled helplessly as his cart was decimated by the large warrior.

Drya was now weaponless. Time seemed to slow down around her as crowds rushed by, fueled by anger and oppression. She, alone of all the others had no weapon. The she remembered her unique ability to visit the dream corridor.

"That's not going to help you now, Drya," she hissed to herself. But maybe she could do other things as well. "No, Drya," she whispered to herself, "you can't." Then the image of her parents being killed played itself in Drya's head. "But I have to try."

She then noticed a large rock coming toward her, and closed her eyes, picturing a shield in front of her. She knew it wouldn't work, but she had to try. However, the rock didn't crash into her. Instead it made a loud bong as it bounced off the force field she'd made. Drya gaped, and as soon as she stopped thinking about the force field, it disappeared. Then Drya realized what her bending was.

She could bend anything, just by using her will. She bent dreams and hopes, wishes and feelings. Drya smiled wryly. She was no longer defenseless. The dreambender ran through the streets of Omashu after Aang and Toph, desperate to get the man who caused her parents to die.


The dreambender is now on the loose! Everybody beware!
