The sounds of men happily drinking and laughing as the smells of cooked meat freshly baked bread filled the air, normally such a thing was done early in the day but today was special.

OIn just a single day the people believed themselves to soon be dead and on that same day, they were all saved and it was all thanks to the man with the burned face.

Fishermen that knew their craft well, went deeper into the waters to bring the much-needed catch but even as they left behind the celebration they did so with high spirits.

Kazuma had brought out strange sticks that let out tiny sparks when one burned the tips of the sticks, already they were selling and soon he would run out of his supply.

Ty Lee performed allsorts of acrobatic trick and the people applauded her and her fellow performers, on a table nearby the water trib elders ate a meal fit for kings, it was something made by the people of the town as a form of thank you for saving their lives.

On both sides, and from behind several guards watched them, however, they weren't really paying attention to the elderly, after all, they had long realized that people that can control and manipulate water arent really prisoners on a ship in the middle of the ocean.

"Do you need that armor?" Zuko heard his uncle asked him.

"Look I already did something I shouldn't have and if I'm going to have to be present in that celebration of theirs I am not taking any chances." He answered his uncle.

The armor he was wearing was a standard Fire Nation armor, one that common soldiers used, but it was somewhat decorated, considering that despite him being exiled, he was still the prince of the fire nation.

They made their way off the ship once more Zuko wore his armor and his uncle was dressed like he usually was, they found the woman waiting for them, no not waiting for them, she had been bringing food to the men on the ship, they had been forced to keep guard so nothing happened to the ships.

Zuko felt himself stop walking for a brief second, he had just thought

"Good nothing will happen to the cargo or the merchandise"

He quickly dismissed the thought and just kept on walking, he didn't say anything to the woman, as they walked off the ship he noticed the peoples startled expressions but those same shocked faces and fearful gazed soon became eyes that while there was fear there it wasn't the main thing in them anymore.

"Go with him" he heard Kazuma say to someone and soon the woman was walking behind him, she remained exactly four steps behind him like any woman that knew her place should, yet he didn't understand why Kazuma kept putting her in the same place he was.

A man and several women led them to a table prepared for them as they were the guest of honor, Zuko immediately sat down, his uncle besides him and for whatever reason the woman was at his side, he wanted to dismiss her and run her off, but that would mean letting her be placed in unnecessary danger.

They watched Ty lee and her friends do all sorts of tricks and ate the admittedly good food, how could fish be sweet and salty Zuko didn't know but he wouldn't question it either, the food was something he hadn't had before.

Unbeknownst to him however three people had boarded his ship, quickly and somehow slowly they managed to bypass all of the guards and made it to where the prison cells were, but there was no one there for them to see.

The three were surprised to find, comfortable beds, warm blankets, and all sorts of things that made the cells feel like good rooms, but no people.

Soon the three were off the ship once again, it wasn't that the guards were incompetent, after all, it's difficult to hear someone walking when they are floating on air.

The celebration continued until, for a few hours no one being the wiser of what had just occurred, slowly the people began to disperse and the soldiers walked back on to the ship, first a group of soldiers, then the prisoners, however, it wasn't until the prisoners walked onto the deck of the ship that a strong gust of wind sent several soldiers flying into the air.
