We had to leave Appa behind the flying Bison was too big to enter the town, not because of the animal's size, but the bisons' appetite, there were plenty of stalls selling fruits and vegetables, and the bison would be too tempted not to fill himself with everything in sight.

We had failed to rescue the elders two weeks ago, so we needed something to lighten our spirits, one good thing that came out of it, however, was that at least we now knew that the elders were being well taken care of.

The townspeople were friendly and luckily the prices for everything weren't too out of hand, so they could at least afford to buy some things for their journey.

We stopped to pick up some oranges and the voices of the nearby men reached their ears.

"Did you hear, ships from the fire nation were seen coming this way?" One man said to another while the two drank at anear by table.

"Then shouldn't we leave, like now?"

"No its all good, the one in the front has a green flame on its side, you know what that means"

"Yeah, the ex-prince is coming. So are you bringing your mom or is she already here."

The two lifted their cups and loudly drank their beer.

"Excuse me, can you tell me about the Fire Prince" Katara said to the two men as she walked up to them.

Both men looked at her, their faces were beginning to show that they were either already drunk or starting to get drunk.

"Sure."

"The merchants all know about it, he was exiled by his father, wandered around and became a merchant. That's it" one of the men said to her before finishing his drink.

"The truth is miss, we don't know, but from what people have seen he's a good guy. He shows up sells somethings and if you're lucky you won't get charged for getting medical attention"

The first man slams his cup on the table and points at Katara.

"Remember he's still Fire Nation, so don't attack him or anyone with him" he said to her before lowering his head and falling asleep, it was less than a second but he was already snoring.

"Man you need to build up your resistance to alcohol, anyway, listen from what the stories say he will defend himself, so don't attack him. If you need something or have someone sick or injured, just get inline and wait your turn"

She left them behind after that.

Ash began to fall from the sky, which meant that in a few hours ships from the fire nation would arrive soon.

None of us said anything we just continued to shop for what we needed, the cold wind blew and after an hour, we could see the metal ships of the fire nation arriving.

It's amazing how fast ships move and when they finally stopped, the black metal ships stopped in front of the docks, the cold metal seemed to take away any warmth that the sun might have given and when the red armored soldiers of the fire nation began to walk off the ship, they looked more like demons, instead of men.

Ship after ship, soldier after soldier and a line had been set up, finally, they made themselves known the cruel prince, the old man that accompanied him, the bender that stood next to him and the woman that, well she was the only woman on board the main ship.

We could see people looking from the corner of buildings and even from some windows, trying to see who had arrived, there were no stalls, no merchandise being sold nothing, only the cold stare of the soldiers.

Slowly, yet somehow quickly a red ball rolled down and it stopped in front of the prince, a little boy no older than two ran up to it but he stopped the moment he noticed the fire prince looking at him, the man just graved the ball and handed it to the boy, who took it and ran back to his parents.

"Come on, we came here to relax didn't we" Kazuma said to Zuko as he began to walk into the town.

"There has to bee a bar or something here for us to pass the time" he aded, however, he stopped walking and looked around.

"If anyone is sick or needs to see a doctor, your going to have to get on the ship!" he yelled.

Immediately an old woman that could barely walk stepped out from where she was hiding and one of the soldiers walked up to her the moment he noticed her.

"Are you looking for a healer?' he asked the woman, the moment she said yes, was the moment the man carried her onto the ship.

It was like seeing a herd of animals walking, people began to pour out, some had sick children or were sick themselves, others were injured and some were merchants just waiting their turn.

"Are you going to sell any of the trinkets today?" a man asked done of the soldiers.

"No, today most of us are relaxing only the medics are working, a bunch of idiots attacked us and so the boss needs to cool off" the soldier answered the man.

There was a long silence after that.

"I'll spread the word, there might be more of them still lingering," the man said before walking off.
