I just wrote the starcraft-avatar thing. I guess it stinks. Even I think it stinks, but I wont delete it. Hopefully this will be better.

If you have read the Starcraft-avatar story, you would know that I have not slept very much because of the time difference. Excuse me if this turns out…weird or something.

you need the blood of someone you love. Truly, deeply, in you heart. Not a crush. The problem is, if you don't have one, then…you die. So, I have come here to ask you one question. Answer the question, yes or no, you do not need to tell me whom. Just yes or no. Do you have a true love?

Yes.

"Very well, Aang. I shall go finish my potion, and then you will be fully restored."

Aang did not say anything, he was only thinking about what he had just confessed.

"Wait!"

Dr. Worheilmer turned around, holding the door knob.

"Yes, Aang?"

"Please don't tell anyone this."

"I understand completely, Aang. Don't worry." Dr. Worheilmer left.

Feeling better, Aang laid down to sleep. However, he was still scared and confused.

Now that wasn't so hard, was it?

DO YOU REALIZE WHAT I HAVE DONE! WHAT IF KATARA FINDS OUT SOMEHOW, EVEN IF THE DOCTOR DOESN"T TELL ANYONE? WHAT WILL HAPPEN THEN, HUH?

Relax. It's not like you said any names or anything. Besides, hope has been restored. You will live. Cheer up!

Hope has been restored for everyone…everyone but me.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Excellent the doctor thought. Now he knows for certain that the Avatar will live. Just one more task..

But how to make it unnoticeable? I promised Aang I would never reveal his secret to anyone, and I always keep my word. But how?

Suddenly an idea came up on his mind. Smiling, he walked into the kitchen.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Katara sat on Appa, thinking.

The blood of someone he truly loves? But he is 12! How can he have such emotions at such a young age?

That's not your problem, is it? The question right now is, who is it?

He disappeared for 100 years. The only reasonable person is Monk Gyatso. But he's dead! Unless he gets reincarnated or something, it would be impossible! And besides, the Air Temple is hundreds of miles away, we won't have enough time!

Then think, Katara. Who else?

Um…King Bumi? No, he's just a very good friend…

Try thinking inside the box.

What do you mean?

You know what I mean.

However, her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of someone walking towards her. It was the doctor.

"Hello, Katara. I heard from my wife that you will be taking care of Aang for the night?"

"Yes."

"Well, don't overexcite him."

"I know, that's what Mrs. Worheilmer told me."

Laughing, Dr. Worheilmer said, "Mrs. Worheilmer and I share minds alike."

"Ya…"

"Something's wrong. I know its not my business to ask, but what is troubling you?"

"Nothing."

"Good. Let's get you and your brother's stuff inside the house. Then I am going to take you somewhere. Meet me here in thirty minutes."

"Okay."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everything is working perfectly. She doesn't suspect a thing. I always keep my promise.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sure enough, in thirty minutes' time, Katara showed up.

"Let's go. I would like to show you something."

They walked for about an hour, and the doctor led her to a lifeless place.

"This was caused by the fire nation thirty-five years ago. They invaded this village, and burned it down to the ground. They tried to overthrow our village too, but we fought back. In the end, we won. They never came back. That is why our new village name is Never Ever Forever. It means that the fire nation will never take control of our village."

Katara just stood there, listening to Dr. Worheilmer and looking at what was before her. Burned houses, skeletons, charcoaled ground. It was hard to imagine anything could do such damage.

"You are probably wondering, why haven't we tried to clean up, and rebuild? Well, this village…was not exactly friendly with ours. They hated us. People of this village fought with our villagers. They burned down houses, robbed shops. So after they had died, we found one piece of note left, hidden somewhere in a small wooden box. The message told us not to touch their village. It would bring shame to their people, thinking that our village had survived and theirs hasn't."

"What I am about to show you is nothing you've ever seen before. This is how we won the battle."

And with that, he drew out a knife, and cut himself. Katara watched in shock and awe as the wound slowly began to heal, then faster, and suddenly, before Katara had realized anything, it was healed completely.

"I have developed an earthbending skill. The only earthbending skill that can heal. You see, I have wondered for years: are waterbenders the only healers in this world?

I decided to take things into my own hands. When I was 18, I was accidentally slashed with a sword. I knew that if I tried my experiment, if it failed, I could die. If it was a success, it would be the greatest part of my carrer…ever."

"And I guess you can figure out the rest for yourself, since I am still standing here, talking to you. It worked. I had developed a cure by earthbending. I will not show you the secret of this technique, as it is rather…horrifying. Anyways, using this technique, I earthbended with my assistants. And we had won our freedom. However, I did not have time to teach my assistants this technique. They died. They were the best assistants I had ever wished to work with. However, I lived because I had used the technique. It takes different amounts of energy in your body, depending on how small or big or serious the injury was. That time, I was on the brink of death. I had used almost all my energy to heal myself, and fortunately, I had enough energy left to finish off the firebenders. The villagers and I rebuilt this town."

"So you won the battle firebenders by having the ability to heal yourself?"

"That is correct. Now, I have heard a rumor that the Avatar's travel companion can heal also. Seeing that your brother can't waterbend at all, no offense to you and your brother…"

"None taken."

"Anyways, seeing that your brother can't waterbend at all, I assumed that you have the ability to heal with waterbending, correct?"

"Yes."

"Then please hold out your hand."

Katara hesitated, but did what the doctor told her to nonetheless. She held out her hand. The doctor took her hand in his hand, and another he had the knife. "Relax…" He gently scraped her with his knife, and slowly blood began to make its way out of Katara's skin.

Giving Katara a jug of water, the doctor continued, "Now, I want you to heal yourself, but before you do, I need to do something. Do not be scared. This will only be a moment.

Having turned around, and not letting Katara see, he slowly and carefully took a small sample of Katara's blood, without Katara feeling anything. Success. Then he put a orange-colored leaf on her skin, rubbing it back and forth on the small cut.

After turning around again, the doctor said to Katara: "I have added a small amount of poison into your wound. Don't worry, the worse it can do to you is make the wound more itchy. Now, I want you to heal yourself with the jug of water I gave you."

Slowly, Katara opened the lid, and moving her hands with a gracelike motion, she pulled the water out of the canteen, and her hands started to glow. She put her hands on the tip of her finger, where the cut was. Slowly, it began to heal, until all traces of poison or cuts were gone.

"Well done! I must say, this is a very handy tool. I don't think it took much energy, did it?"

"No, it didn't. It is like regular waterbending, but only you heal, not attack."

"Yes. My form of healing is much more…unfortunate than your form of healing. It took one-tenth of my energy away. I feel tired already. Earthbending healing takes so much energy aways from you, it is dangerous. If your wound is very big, and you panic and use all of your energy, you may die. I came close to that my first time trying this."

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Because, Katara, you still have a long journey ahead of you. You need as much wisdom as possible. No matter how useless it seems, information will always benefit you in some ways, maybe ways you don't even realize."

The sky was getting dark by now. "We should head back, Dr. Worheilmer."

"I think it is best if we do. I can't afford to miss dinner. I need the energy. It has been a rough day for me, with the Avatar showing up, and all."

"I understand."

And with that, the two walked back to the town, leaving memories behind them in their wake.
