Chapter 10: ..uh...muffins...?
Lyra and the others were walking around one of the oldest forests in the region. They were getting much closer to the North Pole; the temperature seemed to drop with every step they took.
The forest floor was littered with dead leaves and the remnants of vines encircled many of the trees. The wind whispered across Lyra's face, bringing a pink tint to her cheeks.
They walked in silence for what seemed like ages before the silence was broken by Sokka's stomach growling.
"What? I'm hungry," Sokka said with a shrug.
"You're always hungry Sokka," the others rolled their eyes.
Sokka glared at them before walking off, "I'm going to find food."
"Let me guess," Katara pause, "Nuts?"
"If that's all I can find then yes," Sokka replied with another glare.
Lyra laughed, "If you find enough of the right kind I could probably use them to make some bread...or muffins."
At the prospect of muffins Sokka ran off to find as many nuts as possible.
:Zuko's ship:
Keely walked around the ship for the thousandth time; she really was getting tired of sailing. Several times now she'd slipped into a meditative state. Which isn't all that unusual for most people, but Keely rarely was able to slide into that semi-conscious state.
She darted her eyes around, checking to see if any of the crew was present. When she saw no one she allowed herself to hum a soft tune and her movements became more fluid.
Soon she was singing a song her mother had taught her when she was young, and dancing as her sisters and she had every time their mother sang.
'Come stop your crying
It will be alright
Just take my hand
Hold it tight
I will protect you
from all around you
I will be here
Don't you cry
For one so small
You seem so strong
My arms will hold you,
Keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
Can't be broken
I will be here
Don't you cry
'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be in my heart, always
Why can't they understand
the way we feel
They just don't trust
What they can't explain
I know we're different. but,
deep inside us
We're not that different at all
And you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
Don't listen to them
'cause what do they know
We need each other,
to have, to hold
They'll see in time
I know
When destiny calls you
You must be strong
I may not be with you
But you've got to hold on
They'll see in time
I know
We'll show them together
'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on,
Now and forever more
Oh, you'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be in my heart, always
Always.'
There was a soft clapping as Keely finished the song, and she was so shocked she fell over.
She pushed herself up with her elbows, "Ow..."
She heard laughter and looked up to see Zuko standing there, his hand outstretched to help her to her feet. She gladly took the offer, and proceeded to trip and fall against his chest.
A blush tinted her cheeks and she began to pull away, but was stopped by Zuko's arms encircling her waist. It was about this time that she realized he was shirtless, again.
