Whew! There we go. Sorry about spelling…never my strong point. Also, you may have noticed that I deleted a lot of chapters. It's so I can add in new stuff before the gang get to the hospital. So…none of that's happened yet. I will add in those chapters later. And now here we go!

A day had passed since the letter from Aurora. The group was heading quickly toward the Earthnation hospital. Everyone was on edge due to the lack of time until the comet came.

Sokka sighed. "What!" Leiya asked. Katara also gave her brother a glare. "What? I just sighed!" Sokka complained.

Those sparks started a fiery argument. Now Aang sighed, knowing the task of sorting out the moody teens.

Aang looked briefly to the West. He heard noise coming from what looked like a small village on the Earth Nation border.

"Guys!" Aang yelled, breaking up the ensuing argument. Katara and Sokka were screaming, while Leiya had put up her hood and curled up, her eyes looking positively deadly.

The group turned their attention to Aang. "I'm going to head to the village. We can set up camp there. Plus I have this feeling that something is wrong…"

"Well, I get feelings, too-" Sokka started.

"Are they like your instincts Sokka?" Katara asked. Leiya was giggling, as she had heard this story before.

"Katara I-" Sokka started.

"You know what, we're going to the village!" Leiya snapped, exasperated.

"Leiya!" Sokka began, yet again. This time, however, Appa sharply turned knocking Sokka out of his seat.

"Even Appa thinks you should be quiet!" Katara mocked. Leiya giggled.

Down on the ship, Zuko watched the bison swerve from a distance.

"Helmsman!" Zuko yelled. "Follow that- bison!"

"Are you sure it's not a buffalo, Prince Zuko?" Iroh asked, chuckling.

"It does not matter what it is, Uncle! Only that I capture the Avatar!"

"Looks like they're going to that island…"

"Then we shall set a course to 'that island'…Helmsman! Steer us towards the island!"

"Prince Zuko, there is something else you need to know…Jasmine is gone. She left a note. We believe that she disembarked at the last port."

Zuko snatched the letter from his Uncle.

Dear Zuko,

I'm off for some training with old friends. You said I needed it. I'll catch up on my own means.

By the by, I've been meaning to tell you. Just in case. The Angel of the Firenation is no angel. Beware, for she no longer remains on the right side.

From,

Jasmine

Zuko caught the note on fire, before muttering under his breath. The words "inconsiderate", "disrespectful, and "stupid" could be easily deciphered from the sea breeze.

Zuko held the telescope up to his good eye. The fluffy flying buffalo/bison was landing on the island. The sun was beginning to set. They would probably stay for the night. Zuko smiled.

"Uncle! Ready the rhinos!" Zuko said, before stalking off to prepare himself.

Iroh looked to two gaurds on deck. "Could you ready the rhinos for me? Thanks."

The group walked into a small village, Appa had stopped at the outskirts of town, unwilling to lumber through the town's narrow streets.

"It's him!" Someone whispered. "I've heard of his dealings with Haibai!"

"You mean the black and white spirit?"

"Yes. Maybe he can help us with-"

"Shhh, don't say it aloud."

The group heard the conversation, and walked over to where the group hid within a large building. It looked to be the town hall, made of wood and bamboo.

Aang moved to knock on the door, but it opened before he had the chance.

"Are you the Avatar?" the man whispered. He wore Earthnation green and brown.

"Yep, Aang's the one and only Avatar!" Katara interjected.

Leiya rolled her eyes. Someday Katara would say that to someone who would tell the Firenation.

"Please come in, Avatar. And be quick. You can see that the sun is starting to set. IT does not come at nightfall, but when the sky turns red, when the sunsets."

"It? What's it? We heard you talking about that 'Haibai' thing. Aang defeated it. It was only a panda…thing." Sokka said.

"Oh, no it is not a spirit. It is called Xia, the dragon of the light. It is suppost to watch over the decendents of 'The Queen'. But since she is believed to be dead…"

Leiya perked up. The light within her eyes turned from its normal fluff to focus, pep to precision, and sadness to strength.

Ever since Leiya had spoken to them about people showing emotion in their eyes, she had watched Leiya's. She saw the transition in fights, and in concentration, or when something was wrong. It was the girl's mask- façade. It meant that trouble was coming, and she was ready. Katara was trying to learn this emotional trick, to add to her fighting skills, but to no avail.

Perhaps Aang noticed a change, too, since he backed up an inconspicuous step.

"This dragon is a dragon of gold. It lives in the Firenation, but we believe that it is upset over deaths on both sides of the war. It has been searching for many people, destroying towns out of its anguish."

"That's awful." Katara murmured.

"How do you know why it's upset?" Aang asked.

"Follow me, I will show you."

A small shrine lay at the other side of the town. Writing was clearly burned in the dust in front of the shrine.

Leiya knelt down, feeling the burnt sand. "Fire code." She whispered.

The man nodded. "We are lucky. A passing linguist read it to us. He did not no what the list was.' He looked at Leiya hopefully.

She gulped and read the list.

Garurdian of the Elements

Princess of Fire

Lord of Fire

Prince of Fire

Angel of the Firenation

Leader of the Shadows

Lord of Earth

Below that, clearly written was another line. Her eybrowns wrinkled upon reading it.

"That was written last night. We do not know what it says."

"Find answers at mountain. Only need the Angel. Any others too. Fire and water will converge, and stop time."

"Apparently this dragon was not good at complete sentences." Leiya said.

"Only you." Sokka said.

"I don't get it." Aang said. "Do you?"

Both the Village leader and Leiya shook their heads. Leiya looked nervous though.

"I'm going in the shrine, I'm curious as to what lies within." Leiya said. Without listening, she walked forward, thinking 'Why does this dragon want to see me?'

"Be back in a hour, for Xia will appear from the North Gates. The temple is the West. Understand?"

"Yep." Leiya replied.

"Come along Avatar, we will get you situated and prepared to face Xia."

The other three left with the leader. Aang looked back, but Leiya had already ascended the steps leading to the shrine at the top of the hill.

Meanwhile, Zuko too prepared for battle. Except his mission was to capture the Avatar.

The ship moved towards the dock, moving to dock. Meanwhile, two golden eyes were watching. 'Three.' Xia thought.

The first red beams of light cascaded the otherwise cerulean sky. Two golden orbs came to light.

From the shrine, Leiya saw both the light and the ship.

'Oh no…' Leiya thought. It would take until dark for her to get back, as she had lost herself in the winding corridors of the shrine. It was much larger than had seemed.

Without hesitation Leiya ran towards the town. At that same moment, Xia took flight.

A/N: Whoot! Leiya'll get to the hospital soon. Can you tell that I wrote this after seeing the Haibai (sp?) episode (XD). Anyone know the right spelling?

Please read and review! (And again, I'm SO SORRY that I'm so late!)
