Thank you Kimberly T! You made me giggle a little to have so many reviews pop up.
Last Rights
Sailing past the bodies of the Fire Nation Navy was excruciating. The cloud of wreckage and lost sailors stretched on for days and Aang refused to look away. Almost a week had past since they left the stronghold of the Northern Water Tribe. Almost a month had passed since Princess Yue fixed his mistake. How could he have know it would turn out like this? How could he have allowed it to happen?
It was his fault. Koh had kept him distracted and away from his duty to the Water Tribe; but it was still his responsibility. Aang the Avatar was supposed to be above this kind of...of horribleness. Aang the Airbender wished he had been.
The city had thousands of civilians, kids younger than him. The Fire Navy were all trained soldiers, they had agreed to be in harm's way. He had a duty to protect people that couldn't fight for themselves, but he had a duty to these men floating dead in the sea. Every Waterbender in the world had felt the loss of the Moon Spirit, but he and maybe no one else, had felt the Ocean's satisfaction.
He wasn't going to look away.
