Looking for food was hard for them, which was making it hard for me as well. I couldn't find food for more than one person. Iroh was complaining about not having any tea and kept figuring out ways to make tea. I had tried to find tea leaves for him but there was no good source of water enough for tea to grow. Speaking of water, they both kept drinking from the streams instead of actually letting me fill there bottles with water. My bending filtered out any dirt that was in the water since, dirt was earth. Jeez I liked when they were both pampered brats.

"I can't find anything," Zuko sighed coming back through the trees.

"Hmm, this can either be the dangerous white jade bush that can kill you, or the legendary white dragon bush which makes any tea so delicious that it's heart breaking," Iroh pondered looking at the bush.

"Don't try it," I scowled as I headed back through the trees with Zuko following me.

We tried finding at least some fruit together which, I was more successful than Zuko was. I sighed and told him that if he saw an animals footprints near the bush, there were probably none there. He grumbled at his stupidity and kept trying. I gathered as much berries as I could, grabbed Zuko and went to check on Iroh.

"I shouldn't have done that," Iroh moaned.

"You didn't," I muttered.

Iroh turned and he had a red puffy face. "I couldn't help myself. I needed to know."

I sighed. "What are we going to do?"

"Well," Iroh started grabbing a branch with berries on them. "These could either be bacui berries, which could cure me, or they could be maka'ole berries, which could blind me."

Zuko smacked the branch out of his hands. "We are not taking anymore chances with strange plants!"

"Well, we need to go into town and get medicine," I groaned.

"We could go into the Earth Kingdom towns," Iroh said. "But we could be captured and executed."

"Or we could go to the Fire Nation towns and risk being handed over to Azula," Zuko mumbled.

They looked at each and both agreed that we would leave for the Earth Kingdom. Thankfully, there was a a small Earth Kingdom town near by. We started towards the town, Iroh scratching all the way.

"I told you not to," I sighed leading the way.

"I know, I know," Iroh mumbled. "Live and learn."

"Not out here Uncle," Zuko snarled.

We walked into town and immediately found a medicine house. As we walked in, people gasped looking at Iroh. I could tell that they knew what happened to him.

"Come," One of the lady's gestured us over to her. "Take off your shirt."

Iroh did as he was told and sat down on the bench. Zuko and I sat across from Iroh and the Lady started rubbing him with a towel.

"You must be new here," She said. "We know never to even touch the white jade much less make it into tea and drink it."

"Oops!" A swollen faced Iroh laughed.

"So where are you traveling from?" She asked.

"Yes we are travelers!" Zuko stated standing up.

I looked at him and pulled his arm down to tell him to sit down.

"What are your names?" The lady asked.

"Names?" Zuko asked looking at me.

I shrugged.

"I'm... Lee!" Wow, Zuko. You couldn't come up with a better name? "And this is my uncle... Mushi."

I choked. Zuko glared at me but Iroh was glaring at him. The lady was putting lotion on Iroh's skin now.

"Yes! My nephew was named after his father so we just call him Junior," Iroh grinned.

Zuko huffed and sat down.

The lady turned. "What's yours?"

"I'm Annaisha," I said.

"The avatar's Annaisha?" She exclaimed.

I nodded.

"Is he here? Is he with you?" She asked looking around the building.

I looked down at my feet. "We got separated. I haven't been able to find him."

"Well, I hope you do," She said turning back to Iroh. "The avatar can really use as many people guiding him as possible. Maybe Lee and Mushi can help you."

I stayed quiet. Right now, I was seriously missing my friends. Sometimes I wished I would've went with them. But I can feel that I was meant to guide Zuko. I had a feeling that he would be Aang's fire bending master. No, that's wrong. I didn't have a feeling. I knew that he was meant to be Aang's master. I just had to guide him there.

"My name is Song," The lady continued. "You three look like you could use a good meal. Why don't you stay for dinner?"

"Sorry, but we must be going," Zuko mumbled.

I smacked his arm and smiled at Song. "We would love to stay for dinner."

"Great!" Song exclaimed. "My mom always makes too much roast duck."

"Where do you live exactly?" Iroh asked letting his stomach speak for him.

"This all looks so good!" Iroh said almost drooling.

"I hope it tastes as good!" Song's mother laughed as we all sat down.

We all ate in silence for a while. Iroh making noises as he ate. I wasn't that hungry but this duck was really good. My mother made duck once. My father didn't like it since it wasn't a Fire Nation dish. She never made it again. I don't like Fire Nation dishes. Most of them are way too spicy. I like Water Tribe food, of course, but it's always so good. I've never had a Water Tribe dish that I didn't like.

Someone accidentally slammed a dish into another. I jumped and here came the flash back. I squeezed my eyes and took a deep breathe. This needed to stop.

"That was delicious duck. Thank you," Iroh sighed as he sat back into his chair.

"Oh, I'm glad to see people enjoy my food," Song's mother replied. "My daughter tells me you are refugees. We were once refugees ourselves."

"Our village was raided by the Fire Nation. My father was captured by them and we never saw him again," Song affirmed. "Are your fathers fighting in the 100 year war?"

I looked down and nodded. Not mentioning the fact that my father is an Admiral for the Fire Nation. I don't think they would be too happy with that fact.

"Yes," Zuko mumbled and said no more.

There was a smash outside. One of the pots had fallen. Again I jumped and there was that flashback. I rubbed my head and shook it.

"Are you okay? You seem a little on edge," Song asked.

"I'm fine," I smiled.

"If you need help cleaning up I'd be happy to help!" Iroh grinned.

"That would be nice, thank you," Song's mother smiled and the two got up and cleaned up the plates.

Iroh accidentally hit the table, making a big thud sound. I jumped and yet again, the flashback played in my mind. I grimaced and got up from the table.

"I'm sorry, I have to go outside," I choked and hurried out the door into the forrest. Not too deep but, deep enough where no one could hear me.

I kneeled down on the grass and started crying. Why was this happening? Were the spirits cursing me? Did they hate me? What did I do to deserve this torture? I got up from the ground and started pacing back and forth. You need to stop this Anna. You need to get a hold of yourself. You have to be strong. You can do this. Just think of how strong your mother was. Don't you want to be as strong as her? Yes, yes, yes.

I sighed and headed back to the house. I don't know what's wrong with me but I didn't have a choice. I had to live with it. Hopefully, it would go away on its own. On the porch was Zuko and Song. Zuko looked upset and a little frustrated. Iroh came out with a big smile and basket.

"Ah, Anna! Are we ready to go?" Iroh asked.

I nodded. "Ready."

"Thank you for your hospitality," Iroh said bowing to Song and her mother.

"Oh it was a pleasure," The mother bowed.

We said goodbye and left the porch. The door closed and we were passing the ostrich horses. Zuko took two gestured me to get on one.

"Zuko, this family has given us such hospitality," Iroh said as Zuko got on one.

"I think they can show us a little more hospitality," Zuko muttered.

I shrugged and got on the ostrich horse by myself. After a little hesitation, Iroh got on the back of Zuko's and we trotted off into the forrest.

"Hello, is Commander Katsu here?" The Fire Lord asked me, opening the door.

I nodded and gestured them to come in. It was the Fire Lord and his daughter and son, Azula and Zuko. They sat down on the couches and I went to get father. I was nervous. What did they want?

"Father. The Fire Lord is here," I whispered opening his office door.

"The Fire Lord?" Father exclaimed. He got himself together and we both made our way to the living room.

"Commander Katsu," The Fire Lord said.

"Fire Lord," My father bowed. "It is honor to have you in my house."

"I heard that your wife had died," The Fire Lord mumbled. "I'm sorry to hear that."

Zuko and Azula nodded. They were sitting quite elegantly. Zuko looked quite nervous though. Azula, on the other hand, looked quite serious.

"Thank you my Lord," My father and I bowed.

"I did not know that you had a daughter," The Fire Lord stated looking at me curiously.

"Oh," My father looked at me. "Yes, this is-"

The Fire Lord put his hand up. "I do not need to know. That is not what I came here for."

I bowed. "It's an honor my Lord."

The Fire Lord smirked. "She does have fine manners."

"Yes, I taught her well," My father grinned putting his hand on my shoulder.

"Is she a fire bender?" He asked.

My father shook his head. "But I have been teaching her basic sword skills."

"When she's older, she will make a great addition to the cause," The Fire Lord said.

The cause? Didn't he mean the war? The war that was destroying the nations?

I nodded and smiled. "It would be an honor."
