Katara had been flying for about an hour now, so she decided to do some walking. After an hour and half of walking, she decided to stop and get some sleep. She had been on her own for many times now and was capable of living on her own.

After several days of this routine, she got to the Ashuka Valley. She sat down on the first boulder she found and rested. She took out her canteen of water. As she was drinking down the water, she felt a sudden gust of wind. She knew that oh too well. She turned around seeing Saka there; hands folded in front of him.

"What took you so long, Avatar?"

"Sorry, but on my way here, I decided to stop and smell all the roses," Katara replied smiling as she went to hug Saka.

"Found anything suspicious?" he asked.

"No. No evidence that they were on this path recently. I was thinking of checking in the mountains next time," she said. Saka had a sad face just then.

"I think you will have to cut your search a little short. The Fire Benders are coming over here as we speak. We don't have much time. Word has gotten to the Alkian Government that you used your fire bending skills to burn down a whole village to the east. Everyone is really mad. You are not accepted or safe here anymore, Katara. I know you were just getting used to Alkia, but the Fire Benders have eyes everywhere. You will be captured within a week, at maximum," Saka had told her, with a serious look on his face.

"And what do you want me to do!" Katara asked frantically.

"You need to go home," was all that Saka said. By this, Katara knew what he had meant as home: Earth.

"But, my mother! I have to find her!" Katara found herself saying.

"I will do the best I can do. Alkia is going to go through a major change, and the best place for you now is Earth. Go there, and continue your life there. There is no need for you here, anymore. If I do need you, I shall find a way to contact you." Katara just looked at him. I'm free? I'm free to go back to Earth! Katara was somewhat happy, but didn't show it on her face.

"How will I live without you, Saka? How would I know you are safe here?"

"I'm plenty safe and you'll do fine. I have learned many survival skills here, if that's what you mean. Otherwise, you are a very pretty, nice, young adult and you do well on Earth. Do something good with your powers." Do something good with my powers. That was Saka's first command.

Tears had sprung from her eyes by this time. She basically leaped onto Saka.

"I will never forget you Saka. You have been the best teacher and friend I have on Alkia."

"You have been the best and most delightful student I have veer had, Avatar Katara," Saka said quietly. He let go of her.

"Oh! I have someone for you before you go!" Saka said unexpectedly. Someone?

"Oh, MUSHI! Mushi, come here," Saka said as monkey type animal came walking to them. It was whitish-grey with a tan face and large ears.

"This is Mushi. This is a very special monkey. It can understand you, both is English and Alkian. It will always be with you. It can be a great help and you'll be amazed by him , really. All it eats is fruits and nuts." Katara smiled and bent down and stroked it.

"It's so cute! Thanks Saka. This is a great present. I shall care for him always," Katara said as she straightened up, held Mushi, and summoned a memory. It was the memory of the last night she was on Earth.

She soon lifted of the ground and gave Saka one last wave. She left taller, slimmer, and more beautiful than when she had arrived to Alkia. She put a protective air bubble around her and Mushi and exited Alkia's atmosphere. She had a long way to go until she reached Earth. The journey was worth it though. I will finally be reunited with Richard. But, Richard was not the only thing awaiting her…
