-The Festival-
"Hey!" Sokka said, pointing at a bulletin board. "Look, Art, you're a wanted person."
Artymis came around and peered at the poster of her, "Geez, I wonder why." She said sarcastically.
Katara came around, "We might want to move on."
Sokka clutched his stomach, "We need to find a place to eat first."
Artymis walked over to the other side of the bulletin board, to find a poster of the Fire Days Festival. "Here's a place to eat: the Fire Days Festival!" She smiled.
"Artymis?" Katara said.
Artymis looked at her, "Yeah?"
"I said we should move on." Katara said.
Artymis clasped her hands together and looked to Katara with a pleading look, "Please, can we go? I could study Firebenders without being on the run and I could be ready when I start to learn the element fire. Oh, please!" True, she wanted to be ready, but she also wanted to go once again to the festival.
Katara thought it over, giving it deep thought. "I guess we could go, but we'll need disguises."
"I can't believe I'm not saying anything." Sokka muttered as he slipped over a black hood-cloak, he pulled on the hood over his head.
Katara did the same, then she looked at Artymis, "We're gonna have to do work on you."
"Why me?" Artymis asked.
"Because the poster give a fully description of you, it even describes your outfit in detail. It said 'The Avatar dress like a bride.' " Katara said.
Artymis frowned, "I do not dress like a bride!"
"Then, you're gonna have to dress in something else." Sokka said.
Artymis sighed, "I'll find something."
"I'll go with you." Katara and Artymis climbed on Appa's saddle and searched through their things.
"I'll wait here." Sokka leaned against a tree.
You know, come to think of it, Anduril said to Artymis, You do dress like a bride.
Quit it, Anduril, Artymis said, but she flashed him a smile over her shoulder. "I found something." She said, pulling out long dark clothing. "I could probably wrap it around me, like a dress, and tie it with this." Artymis pulled out a thick red ribbon.
Katara nodded, "That'll work."
Artymis took her belt off, she knew she wouldn't need it if she was going in a disguise. Katara wrapped the black clothing around Artymis, it covered her white skirts and white tank-top shirt. The only thing you could of the white clothing was the spaghetti white straps (which really didn't count) and is in the back where you could tell the black fabric was wrapped over the white skirt, so in a way it was like a apron. Artymis wrapped the thick red fabric around her and Katara tied it like a kimono obi.
"There!" Katara said.
Artymis looked smiled, "Thanks, Kat."
"Anytime." Katara said, and climbed off of Appa.
Artymis hesitated and felt for her long wavy hair, which was now reaching her elbow. She pulled half her hair up in a bun, she also took off her gloves and set them aside. She also left behind her Panda Lily.
When she climbed down and met with the others, Sokka said with sarcasm, "Oh, where is my friend, Artymis?"
"Shut up." Artymis joked.
"I think we're ready." Katara said, she and Sokka headed down the hill.
Artymis turned to Anduril, Appa, and Momo. "Sorry, but you guys are gonna have to wait here." She turned on her heel.
Artymis, Anduril said.
Hmm? Artymis turned to him.
Check under one of my scales for something you've kept there for 102 years, Anduril said.
Artymis gave him a questioningly look, but did it anyways. Anduril, like other dragons, had some of his scales where you could hide things under it. Artymis checked one of the them, and she pulled out the mask that Kuzon gave her on her first Fire Days Festival. Anduril! she looked at him, My mask!
You're lucky I didn't throw it away, Anduril joked
Artymis hugged him, "Oh, thank you!" She began to ran towards Katara and Sokka. Artymis looked over her shoulder and said, "We'll be back!"
"Good thing I came prepare." Artymis said as Katara and Sokka bought some masks.
"Ha ha," Sokka said, "How were we suppose to know that we needed masks."
Artymis smiled and slipped on her mask, "It's a festival, wouldn't you wear them?"
"True," Katara said.
The group walked around, they stopped by a crowd of children. They were watching a puppet show. But the group moved from that spot when the puppet form of the Fire Lord burned an Earth Kingdom citizen. Shocking and not so surprising, the children laughed and cheered. The group walked around and they would glance at the entertainment.
"Ok, we saw enough." Sokka said.
"No! Can we stay a bit longer please?" Artymis pleaded.
"Well, we haven't been caught yet." Katara said.
"But, those kids were cheering at the puppet show!" Sokka whispered.
Artymis shook her head, "Sokka, the war has been on for a hundred years. Those kids are young then fifteen, they were raised in the Fire Nation. They were raised to laugh at things like that." Artymis said, "And even thought it isn't right, it's how they grew up."
Sokka blinked, "You're pretty defensive today, Art."
Artymis laughed nervously.
Katara pointed to a crowd, "Hey, look! A dancing floor."
"Great, dancing." Sokka muttered.
Before the group knew it, people started to walk between them, separating them from each other. Artymis panicked and looked for them, "Katara? Sokka?" She called out. When she had no reply, Artymis sighed and began to search for them herself in the crowd. But along the way, she stopped because the music stopped as fireworks shot up in the air. Artymis stopped and stared up at them. Then, she felt someone place a hand on her waist and take her right hand up. She placed her hand on their shoulder and tried to pull away.
"Don't you love staring up at the fireworks?" Her partner asked.
"Let go of me!" Artymis tried to pull away.
"My, my, my." Her partner said, "You're a stubborn one, aren't you, Artymis?"
Artymis opened her eyes and looked upon the face of her partner. It was Zhao, and apparently he wasn't in a festival mood to wear a mask. She gasped, "Zhao? How'd you know it was me?"
"Not happy to see me?" Zhao asked, smirking,
"I'd rather die." Artymis hissed, his smirk faded.
"Well, we can't have that, now can we?" Zhao said. He spun her around and pulled her back to him quickly. "I can't have you die, milady." He then said, "Oh, and your ring gave it away."
Artymis stared down at her ring, the one that Zhao had given her with the suitor's rose.
"You don't like your suitor's rose, anymore?" Zhao asked and smirked, "Well, that won't do."
Artymis' eyes narrowed and she managed to free one arm and hit Zhao with her free hand. He groaned and bent down, now everybody took in the scene. Artymis glanced nervously around herself, her mask slipped off.
"Hey! That girl's the Avatar!"
Time to go!
"Get the Avatar!" A guard yelled.
Katara and Sokka made a run for it. They heard the town was looking for the Avatar.
"That would mean Art's in big trouble!" Sokka said.
"Yeah, we gotta find her!" Katara ran towards and exit out of the town, closely followed by Sokka.
They ran into the forest. They stopped and gasped for breath.
"Now, here's the tricky part." Sokka said, "Where is she?"
"I don't know." Katara said.
"Don't move!" A voice yelled...
She ran into the forest and didn't stop for a while. Artymis panted and leaned against a tree. She looked up to the sky. I hope Katara and Sokka got out alright... Artymis lowered her eyes and lifted them up when she heard footsteps. A cloaked man came out. "Who's there?" She called out.
The cloaked man dropped his hood. He was a Fire Nation soldier. He looked kind though. "Don't worry, milady, you're safe."
"Wh-what?" Artymis asked, "I don't understand."
He went up to her, "I'm not with the Fire Nation." He smiled kindly, "My name is Chey, Avatar."
Artymis blinked, "Wait! How'd you know I was the Avatar?"
"Your poster gave enough detail for me to realize who you are." Chey answered, he paused and looked around, "Let us go, it's not safe here."
"Wait," Artymis said, "I can't because my ankle is hurting badly."
Chey paused and had a thoughtful look in his expression, "Hmm, let's see, how can we do this?"
"I could lean on the trees." Artymis offered, but heard Anduril's voice in her mind:
Hold on for just a few seconds.
Artymis smiled and she looked to Chey, "Um, we already have a ride, is that alright with you?"
Chey nodded, "But, who?"
"My brother, Anduril, he's a dragon and well he said he was coming." Artymis answered.
"Alright," Chey said.
A minute later, Anduril came and Chey helped Artymis get on him. She looked back to him once they were saddled in, "Where to, Chey?"
Chey gave her instructions, and Artymis telepath them to Anduril. They arrived in a camp, where Katara and Sokka came rushing to Artymis.
"Hey!" Artymis slowly departed from Anduril.
There is a healer here who can help you with your ankle, Anduril said.
Thanks, Artymis said.
"You ok?" Sokka asked.
"My ankle hurts." Artymis said, reaching down to her injured ankle.
"Here, there's a healer." Katara led Artymis to a healer who healed her ankle in no time, though it would occasionally hurt.
"Thank you, sir." Artymis said.
"My pleasure," The healer bowed his head in respect.
"Where's Chey?" Artymis asked, looking to Katara and Sokka.
"Apparently, some Jeong Jeong wanted to talk to him." Katara said.
The group talked about how they escaped from the Fire Days Festival. Artymis left out the part where she and Zhao danced. All she said was that Zhao somehow recognized her and tried to imprison her. Artymis, by the time her friends finished their story, was back in her normal clothing.
"And how'd you get out?" Katara asked.
Artymis shut her eyes in embarrassment, "Don't ask. Good night!" She pulled the given blankets to her and laid her head on the pillow. the group laid in their sleeping bags. Alright, Artymis said, Good night.
Good night, Anduril quickly added
Artymis said, Anduril quickly addedArtymis felt him close his mind. She sighed, and closed her eyes. She fell into a dream.
(Later)
Artymis opened her eyes and sat up. Chey was sitting not too far. "Chey?" He looked up at her from the fire, "What's wrong?" She asked.
"Master Jeong Jeong is displeased with me." Chey said.
"Master who?" Artymis rose from her sleeping bag and walked over to Chey, she sat beside him.
Chey began explaining who Master Jeong Jeong was. Apparently he was a high-ranking army officer and was the first to leave the Fire Nation army and live. He was also a firebending genius.
"So, he's not with the Fire Lord?" Artymis asked, interested.
"Nope," Chey said.
"Can I see him?" Artymis asked.
"He said he wouldn't." Chey answered.
"What?" Artymis asked, confused.
"He said you're not ready," Chey explained, "that you had not mastered waterbending or earthbending yet."
Artymis blinked, taken by surprise. "How does he know that?" She asked, curious.
"He can tell these things." Chey answered.
"But, I need master firebending at some point." Artymis said.
"I'm sorry," Chey said, there was a pause, and he rose from his seat. "You should get some sleep." Chey walked away, "Good night."
Artymis sat there a little longer, then decided it was time for her to go back to sleep.
(The Next Morning)
Artymis woke up and helped her friends pack up. Chey came along to say farewell.
"Well, you should get going," Chey said. "You don't wanna run into the Fire Nation too early, right?" He left and the group was ready, but Artymis hesitated.
"Artymis?" Katara said, "What's wrong?"
"I have to ask Master Jeong Jeong if he could train me in the arts of firebending." Artymis answered, she looked to Anduril. I think it'll be ok if I do a head start, you know?
Anduril paused, If he believes you are ready.
Artymis looked at Sokka and Katara, "I'll be back!"
"Wait - Art!"
Artymis ran down the hill and stopped in front of Master Jeong Jeong's tent. She breathed and entered. Artymis saw that the only light in the tent was coming from lit candles. She saw a man in the far end of the tent, his back to her.
"Master Jeong Jeong?" Artymis called out softly.
"Get out." The man said.
"I'm sorry." Artymis bowed her head in respect, "But, I was wondering if you could teach me firebending."
"No."
"Please?" Artymis clasped her hands together in a pleading manor. "I need to know firebending."
"You can not master firebending without first knowing the element water and earth." He said, "Water is soothing and calming. Earth is steady and hard. But fire is destructive and pain. It can be easily be out of the control of the bender."
"But, it's the Avatar's destiny to - " Artymis started.
"Destiny?" He repeated, growing angry. "What would a girl of fifteen know of destiny?"
Artymis clenched her fists, "I do know that we all have one. And mine is to master all four elements and defeat the Fire Nation."
"No!" He turned around, his golden eyes flashing anger. "You are too young! You are undisciplined! You are too weak!"
The candle blew out and came back. A tall man stood before Jeong Jeong, who looked up with shock. Avatar Roku stood tall and looked down at the firebender. "You think I am weak?" Roku repeated.
Jeong Jeong bowed his head, "No! Avatar Roku, I did not mean that!" He lifted his eyes and saw a small child clinging to Roku's hand. She looked liked the girl who was there earlier, only she was in a Airbender's outfit. She looked at him with curious green eyes.
"I have mastered the elements a thousand times in a thousands lifetimes." Roku said, he looked down at the clinging little girl. He gently pushed her in front of Jeong Jeong, "You will teach the Avatar fire." Roku said, raising a hand to burn a tree.
"Yes," Jeong Jeong gave the girl and Roku one last look and bowed his head in respect, "I will teach her fire." The candles dim and brighten a bit.
"Master Jeong Jeong, are you alright?" Artymis asked the man, he seemed to have fallen asleep or something and now was speaking in his sleep.
Jeong Jeong opened his eyes to only find the girl and him in the tent alone, Avatar Roku or the little girl were no longer standing in front of him. Jeong Jeong looked to the girl, "What is your name?" He asked.
"My name?" Artymis repeated and answered, "Artymis."
Jeong Jeong sighed, "Very well, I will teach you fire, Avatar Artymis."
(Later)
"Why are we up here?" Artymis asked, climbing on the rocks, following Jeong Jeong.
"You must practice breathing exercises," Jeong Jeong answered, his white hair being blown by the soft wind slightly. "fire comes from the breath. In order to make and control fire, you must breathe properly."
"Oh." Artymis said, they reached the top. Artymis smiled at the soft and cool breeze.
"Now, stand straight." Jeong Jeong said, "No slumping." Artymis stood on top and stood with her back straight. She had her palms face up and she held them close to her stomach. "Concentrate on breathing exercises until I return." Jeong Jeong made his way down.
That was weird, Artymis thought, but nevertheless she did her breathing exercises. She inhaled and exhaled deeply, while closing her eyes. But, her mind didn't stay focus, instead it drifted off to memories.
(Memory Begins)
Fourteen-year-old Artymis was leaning against Anduril, her eyes were closed in a peaceful way. She smiled as a sweet dream unfolded in her sleep. But she was suddenly awoken when she heard angry shouts. She stood up and turned to sleeping Anduril, she petted him softly, "I'll be back, brother." She followed the shouts which were coming somewhere close to the city of Ba Sing Se. She saw some of the older Earthbender teenagers picking on a little Waterbender. She narrowed her eyes and stood between the little boy and the teenagers. "Hey! Quit it!" She said.
"Look who it is?" One of the teenagers said. "It's Artymis!" He gave her a friendly smile.
"Why are you picking on him?" Artymis asked, ignoring the smile.
"No, we weren't - "
"Don't lie to me!" Artymis snapped, "Why are you picking on him?"
One of the teenagers answered, "Because... uh... because... for fun?"
Artymis lost it, she began shouting, "YOU ALL ARE SO IMMATURE! HOW DARE YOU PICK ON A LITTLE WATERBENDING BOY! I OUTTA - " She threw her fists down and her green eyes flashed anger. She didn't realize that the tree was close to them was starting to burn. Within seconds, it burst into flames.
"Let's get out of here!" One of the boys yelled, running.
Artymis hadn't noticed the tree burning, "Come back here! I'm not finished with you!" She heard the little boy gasped and Artymis saw the burning tree. Did I do that? she thought. Artymis grabbed the little boy and ran in the city.
(Memory Ends)
"Avatar!" Jeong Jeong's angry voice shouted.
Artymis opened her eyes in surprise and sat up. She looked around her, she was back in Jeong Jeong's tent. "Huh? What?"
"You aren't doing exercises for sleeping, but for breathing!" Jeong Jeong said angrily.
"I'm so sorry!" Artymis breathed deeply, remembering that day she had accidentally burned the tree.
Jeong Jeong sighed, "How am I suppose to teach you if you do not listen?"
"I'm really sorry!" Artymis said, looking at him. "It's just... wait. How did I get here?" She asked, confused.
"I had you brought in here. You were nearly going to fall in your sleep." Jeong Jeong answered.
"But, how - ?" Artymis began.
"Enough questions!" Jeong Jeong said, "Now, what were you doing sleeping instead concentrating on your breathing?"
"I... I... I was having a nightmare." Artymis answered.
Jeong Jeong sighed, "I once had a pupil who you remind of right now. He didn't concentrate on breathing or what I instructed him to do. He was so concerned with creating fire and how to use it against his opponents. Overtime, he abandon me and left to kill his enemies with fire." He looked to Artymis with his serious golden eyes, "Why do you suddenly have a desire to master fire?"
Artymis blinked and lowered her eyes, "Me?" She whispered, "I remember burning a tree with my emotions. I didn't know how it happened. It just did. I got scared, because I didn't know how to react or how to undo it." She stopped.
"There is someone else, am I right?" Jeong Jeong asked.
Artymis looked at him, "I don't understand."
"Or are just trying to impress someone?"
Artymis looked down, "I just want to make up for the mistakes I've done." She muttered.
"Master!" A man came in, "There's trouble!"
Artymis jumped to her feet, "Where?" She asked.
"No! You stay here!" Jeong Jeong said.
"But - " Artymis started.
"Stay here!" Jeong Jeong said, leaving with the man.
Artymis kicked the dirt. "Great." She muttered. She went outside and saw Katara, "Katara, where's Anduril?" She asked.
Katara looked up from her waterbending scroll, "I think they said they were going out to hunt for some food."
"Did I even have to ask?" Artymis joked with a faint smile.
"You know Sokka!" Katara smiled, she paused and looked at Artymis with a worried expression. "Artymis, may I ask you something?"
"Sure, anything." Artymis said, lying down on the grass.
"Um, I've been thinking about this possibilities for a long time." Katara started, "I was wondering, are you in love?"
Artymis sat up and blinked in surprise, she looked at Katara, "With who?" She asked.
"Um, I know this sounds crazy and really, really weird, but..." Katara looked at the waters and back to Artymis, "Are you in love, with Prince Zuko by any chance?"
Artymis' green eyes flashed with anger, she stood up and began shouting: "ME! IN LOVE WITH THAT SPOILED PRINCE! I THINK NOT! I RATHER DIE THAN TO EVER EVER FALL IN LOVE WITH ZUKO! I HATE HIM - " Artymis continued shouting, she hadn't realized that since her emotions were strong and angry, that a flame was being created right behind her.
"Artymis!" Katara warned, watching the flame behind her with fear.
" - I WILL NEVER EVER BE IN LOVE WITH ZUKO! HE'S SO IMMATURE! HE'S A RUDE, SELFISH, SPOILED, SHOW-OFF PRINCE!" Artymis yelled, she threw her fists down and the flame grew. Katara cried out and held her hands out before her and her hands were burned by the fire. She kneeled down from the pain. Artymis opened her eyes and realized Katara was injured. "Katara!" Artymis rushed to Katara, "I'm so sorry! I didn't know that my emotions would get the better of me!" She saw Katara's hands, they were red and swollen. Artymis panicked and said, "Katara, put your hands in the water."
Katara shook her head, her eyes shut from the pain.
"Katara, please, the water will heal it." Artymis gently pulled Katara's hands and carefully placed them in the water. Katara whimpered at the sharp pain. "Shh," Artymis said softly. Suddenly the girls blinked in surprise as the water around Katara's hands and a glow from Artymis' hands. Katara lifted her hands out of the water once the glow faded. her hands looked as good as new, like the burns were never there. Both of the girls stared at each other.
"Artymis..." Katara whispered, staring at her hands.
Artymis blinked, she remembered the glow when she healed 'Shang's' arm. "I don't... "
"Both of you have healing abilities." Master Jeong Jeong was standing behind the girls.
"Master Jeong Jeong!" Artymis opened her mouth to explain herself.
"Silence." Jeong Jeong said, "You have no control of your emotions, and therefore you must master water and earth before mastering fire."
"Yes, sir." Artymis muttered, lowering her eyes.
Katara stepped up, "It's not her fault!"
"Everyone must take responsibility for their actions." Jeong Jeong said, he paused and then said, "I only wish I was blessed with these healing abilities as both of you are. Free from this burning curse."
"But, you're a master." Katara said, "You'll have powers I'll never know."
"But, sometimes, fire brings pain." Artymis whispered.
Jeong Jeong nodded, "Fire destroys everything in its path, the bender controlling it, will soon lose the light in their heart if not too careful. Fire only brings pain and destruction. Eventually, we are torn apart."
A fireball passed right by the girls. They jumped to their feet and looked up the river.
"Zhao!" Artymis said.
"Go!" Jeong Jeong said, pushing the girls out of the way, "Flee and never return!"
Katara and Artymis stared to run, but Artymis looked back at Jeong Jeong, "I'm not leaving you." She said.
"Artymis?" Katara said, looking back.
Artymis smiled at her, "I'll be with you and the others in a few minutes. I need to stay and fight with Jeong Jeong, it wouldn't seem right."
Katara gave her a worried look, but nodded, "Don't stay for too long!" She said before running to find Anduril, Appa, and Sokka.
Artymis returned to Jeong Jeong's side. He turned to her with an angry expression, "I told you to never come back!"
"I may be young, and not know of destiny, but I do know this: leaving a friend to fight alone is never right, and no one should be alone." Artymis said.
Jeong Jeong softened his expression, "You are really the first ever pupil who has ever said that to me."
"I learn from my mistakes, and I learn from teachers." Artymis said. She took a step back when the ships landed and Zhao came on land. Jeong Jeong stepped in front Artymis and raise his arms up, his palms facing upwards. A high firewall came between Zhao and Jeong Jeong, with Artymis watching from behind.
"But, you have given up fighting, is that not right," Zhao managed to get through the firewall, "Master Jeong Jeong?"
Jeong Jeong dropped his arms and stared at Zhao.
"Master Jeong Jeong," Artymis asked, "you know Zhao?"
Jeong Jeong nodded, "He was the pupil that I spoke of to you with no discipline."
"What have you taught the Avatar now?" Zhao asked.
Jeong Jeong looked at him, "Zhao - "
"Admiral Zhao." Zhao corrected him.
"That title will not help you in fighting the Avatar." Jeong Jeong said, "You know that very well."
Zhao smirked, "I think I can handle a child." He looked at Artymis, "Even if she is the Avatar."
"I have never seen such raw power." Jeong Jeong said, shaking his head. He turned around and pushed Artymis out of the way, he engulfed himself in a flame. The flame disappeared and Jeong Jeong was nowhere to be seen.
"Jeong Jeong?" Artymis whispered, looking around for him.
"Men - look in the trees for the Deserter!" Zhao pointed to the trees, and his men scattered in the trees. Zhao looked to Artymis, "Let's see what my old master has taught you, Artymis."
"I'm ready!" Artymis yelled, she did the waterwhip on Zhao.
Zhao groaned, he began shooting large fireballs at her.
Artymis dodged it with airbending, "Wild shot!" She laughed.
"I'll show you wild!" Zhao shouted, and he shot another fireball.
Artymis dodged it, she looked at Zhao's aim, "No self-control." She whispered, remembering what Jeong Jeong had told her. She looked back at Zhao and stuck her tongue out, "Bad aim, Zhao!" She moved and jumped on the top of one of the ships. She looked back at Zhao when a fireball missed her again, "You know, Fire Lord Ozai will make anyone an admiral!"
"Insolent girl!" Zhao shouted, attacking her.
Artymis moved swiftly on the boat as Zhao aimed fireballs at her that missed. She jumped on the second boa and looked at Zhao who was still standing on the other boat. "I don't know why!" She teased, smirking, "But, I honestly thought you be better than Zuko!"
Zhao lost it. He set fire at her, and Artymis fell flat on her face. The fire didn't injure her though. She got up and didn't see Zhao anywhere, she sighed from relief. Got rid of him easily. She got off that ship and jumped onto another one. She leaned against the ship's walls, and breathed heavily. She felt a grip around her arm; she turned around to see Zhao.
"Zuko's better than me, eh?" Zhao asked, his eyes flashing with anger.
"Of coarse!" Artymis said, smiling weakly.
"I'm going to kill you!" Zhao shouted.
Artymis broke free from his grasp. Zhao attacked her with no self-control at all. Artymis jumped on the head on the head of the boat, "You lost this fight." She said, clasping her hands behind her back.
"Are you crazy?" Zhao yelled, "You haven't blown a single blow!"
"I didn't." Artymis extended a hand towards the other ships, "But you have." Zhao looked at what she meant, he gasped. He had burned the ships. "Master Jeong Jeong said you had no control whatsoever." Artymis stopped before leaving, "Oh, and by the way: remember that kiss I said I give to Zuko?" She smirked, "I gave him that kiss, but I have one for you too, Zhao. No need to be jealous." Artymis pressed her four fingers against her lips and blew a powerful airblow at Zhao; he was thrown over the boat. Artymis jumped off and ran, she shouted over her shoulder: "Have a nice walk home!" She grabbed hold of Anduril's silver tail that he offered her, and he threw her in Appa's saddle.
Had a nice fight? Anduril asked her.
Very nice one, and it was easy! Artymis smiled at him and turned to Katara and Sokka. "What happened to Jeong Jeong?"
"He left with the others," Katara said, "We don't know where though."
Artymis nodded, she smiled at Katara, "Well, at least we know what gift we have now." Momo jumped in her arms.
"What gift?" Sokka asked.
The girls didn't mention Katara getting burn, but they told Sokka about their realized healing ability. He frowned, "Oh and thank you for all those first-aid help!"
The girls laughed.
"Oh, shut it, Sokka!"
Anduril and Appa soared through the sky as the sun went down, sending a red light across the sky.
