Chapter 8
"How do you think she's doing doctor?" asked Iroh as the doctor was checking my temperature
"It seems the conditions are getting worse. We need to find land soon, or she might not make it," he answered sadly.
"How long has she been sick with these conditions?" Iroh asked.
"She's been in here for a week, but yet nothing seems to help."
Silently, there was a knock at the door. Then one of the guards came in.
"General Iroh, Prince Zuko would like to have a word with you on deck.
"Tell my nephew I'll be there in a moment, I have to do something first."
"Yes sir," answered the guard and turned to go return Iroh's answer.
"May the gods be with you child," Iroh whispered to me as he walked out the door.
On deck
"One of the guards said you wanted to see me?" Iroh asked Zuko as he walked on deck.
"Yes," answered Zuko. "How is the girl?" He asked.
" Not too well, the doctor said that her fever is getting worse and that we need to get her on land soon or she might not make it," answered Iroh.
"Any other news that you herd of," asked Zuko.
"None at all," answered Iroh, "How much longer do you think it'll be till we get to Omokoni Island?"
"If we don't run into any trouble, maybe about a few minutes," answered Zuko.
"Aang, something doesn't seem right," said Faith sounding a little scared.
"What do you mean?" he asked a little worried.
"Look," she pointed at the sky.
As if on cue, black soot started falling from the sky above.
"Come on," said Aang. "We need to get back to the village."
Quickly, both Aang and Faith started running back to the village.
By the time they got back to the village, everyone was gathering into a group trying to figure out what was going on.
"Aang, what's going on?" asked Katara.
"I don't know, but I'm going to go find out," answered Aang as he flew up into the sky to investigate.
"Oh no," he sighed, "Zuko."
