10.3 Taang
"I'm sick and tired of my destiny controlling my life," Aang thought as he flew above the clouds, water droplets clinging to his clothes. "Running is the only thing I can do."
The waves below began to roll fiercely, obvious signs of an upcoming storm. Aang frowned in worry, but continued to fly. And then the rain began to fall. And then Aang was the one falling.
The Avatar hit the waves with a hard crash, and the waves made it difficult to reach above the surface. Too confused to think rationally and waterbend, Aang used his last minutes to think about the people that loved him. To think about the girl he loved.
He used his last breath to say the words he never got to say to her face.
"I love you Toph."
And the bubbles of the Avatar's last breath floated to the surface.
Her face, the last he would ever see in his minds eye. And that's all he would ever need, to breathe again.
