Chapter 13 King Bumi

Sakura woke up and went running. On her way back she noticed earthbender ships were coming in. She went down to the pier to greet them, changing her clothes and unwanted sweat with her magic.

King Bumi didn't ever wait for manners and things to talk to Sakura.

He said gravely, "Fire Nation ships are about two days away from here."

Sakura replied, "We should go and talk to everyone quickly."

They went to have a meeting. Everyone was shocked. But they formed plans quickly. Zuko was puzzled and nervous, as was Uncle Iroh. The chief said, "We are preparing for war."

Yue was shocked when she heard the news. She knew what was at stake. Everyone got ready as her mind was racing. People started to gather men and receive the mark.

They were ready at the end of the day for the attack, thankfully. The Fire Nation ships came a day early, unfortunately.

Author's Note: I know this is really short, so please don't tell me that in any review please. But I might post the next chapter as a little gift since this one was soooooo short.
