It was dark in the hallways behind the cupboard. Aang and Katara had thought that, when Risha had given them the directions, that it would only take a matter of moments before they were in the barn. It had to have been five minutes by now. There were a multitude of hallways and turns. And they had no idea where any of them led. Exactly to the T, they had followed the directions; go down the stairs and take the first left. Then they would see another set of stairs and they'd go up those. The thing was, there were no other stairs. "Katara, do you think we're going the right way?" Aang asked.

"Of course we are. First left. No problem," Katara was sure of herself.

"Maybe we should go back and try the first right. We might have been wrong," Aang suggested.

Obviously annoyed, Katara said, "Okay, then. You lead the way, since you obviously know what's going on."

Aang mumbled something beneath his breath, but walked in the opposite direction that they had been going in. Through the maze of hallways, Aang led the expedition. After getting lost or confused several times, they found a set of stairs. "See. I found the barn," Aang said, "Sokka's probably already in here, waiting for us."

Quickly, Aang ran up the stairs and pushed away a panel. He burst through the door, closely followed by Katara. Before him was his enemy; Prince Zuko of the Fire Nation.
