The Fallen Kingdom
Will Zuko learn who to trust?
"Thank you, Toph." Katara said. Silence always drove her to the brink of insanity, and she wasn't due there, at least, not yet.
"About what?" the oblivious eathbender questioned. Katara rolled her eyes. It was times like these she missed a normal life...
"For not telling anyone. Sokka would bite my head off if he knew where I waqs ow," Toph snorted.
Katara went on.
"I wish Suki were here, she always finds a way to keep Sokka on a leash," the waterbender chuckled. Toph didn't respond.
"Toph?"
Nothing.
"Hello? Earth to earthbender! You home?" Katara waved her hands in front of what she figured was her face.
Still nothing. Well, tension, but that didn't count.
"To-"
Snap.
"I'm fine! Would you be quiet!?" Toph's voice echoed throughout the tunnel, and Katara was sure Sokka had heard them. The young master of water backed away slightly, disturbed, and stunned, by her companion's outburst. When she noticed Toph hadn't stopped moving however, she continued forword, if ever-so hesitantly.
They remained silent once more, driving Katara mad all over again.

Aang yawned. It was getting dark. And cold. Fog had settled on the normally green landscape, and he had no clue where he was, or where he was going. Gosh, if saving one kingdom is this hard, imagine how hard the whole world will be. And he still had yet to lay eyes on the inner wall.
The rythmic beating of the breeze against his face was enough to lull him to sleep. The Avatar's eyes drifted shut, and then bolted open again. He was losing control of his glider, and his conciousness.
Taking one last glance in front of him, he closed his eyes, and drifted off.
"You look tired, Avatar Aang..." a soft voice whispered from his side. It sounded vaguly familiar..."Why don't you go to sleep, forget all of your problems. They'll be there tomorrow..."
"I'm not tired. I can stay up a little while longer,"Aang offered.
"Why? When you can sleep now? Who is more important than you that cannot be put off until tomorrow?" the voice whispered. It's owner materialized next to him, a dragon, whose scaley back was colored scarlet.
"I guess you're right..." Aang closed his eyes.
"No!" A harsher, much rougher, voice called out.
"Avatar, do not listen to the red dragon! It will deceive you, tell you lies! Stay Awake! You close your eyes, you turn your back on the world!"
His eyes popped open, wide and alert now. On opposite side of him, a blue dragon appeared from the darkness.
"Oh, no, we wouldn't want to do that. So we won't, we'll just take a nap. Close your eyes, avatar. Die..."
"No! Do not embrace death! Please! If you do, you shall fall forever, and the world will have no savior! Do not!" the Blue Dragon grew desperate.
"Sleep now, avatar. Sleep..."
Aang closed his eyes, and now, they stayed close. The Blue Dragon was right, he knew, but the Red Dragon was just so, tempting, he had to try. The world can wait a few minutes...
Aang stretched himself out. Or an hour...
He turned over, onto his side and yawned, growing more comfortable. Maybe an eternity...
Aang never opened his eyes.
Uh-oh...and wow! I made great time! A half an hour! Sweet! This chapter is extra long because I never updated on Wednesday, like I planned...my mom is a computer hog, that's why. But I am too, so I can't complain. Well, actually, I can...
READ ALL, OR JUST SKIP THE NEXT TWO PARAGRAPHS
My grandpa takes her side because He always sees me on the computer, but never her, only sometimes. He doesn't understand the concept of so he doesn't understand why I spend so much time on here.
You see, my mother is always complaining that I'm on the comp 24-7, which is, obviously, a very far exaggeration. You see, I'm only on 3 hours a day, max. Maybe more if I stay up later. She gets grandpa to team up on me with her so she can 'do her homework', in otherwords, goof off on myspace for 5 hours to meet guys with no future and women in the UK. Hmph. Some role model. Maybe someday I'll ask her to buy each of my future children a computer so they can use one since I'll always be using the family one to meet horrible guys on myspace. Maybe then my mother will see the errors of her ways. But that seems a little deep, purposely making my life a failure in order to spite her, maybe not. I should just 'misplace' her house key and pretend I'm not home tomorrow...
Notice anything familiar about the dream? Oh, and I haven't gotten to the part where Katara helps the 'him' she was talking about.
3 choices. There is:
a) be a bad author and skip ahead to the palace, or at least the inner wall
b) be a good author and describe exactly what happens to Aang, Zuko, Momo, Sokka and the King, and Toph and Katara
c) WRITE ABOUT A MONKEY. (the monkey'll be a good one, I swear)
NO RYHMY THING TODAY DUE TO LACK OF PATIENCE, SORRY TO THOSE WHO LIKED TO ANSWER THEM!!!
