"What happened Katara?" Aang struggled to speak. "You went into the Avatar State, but Azula shot you down. I used the Oasis water to heal you." she explained. "I can't believe that just happened." the Earth King was in a daze. His whole Kingdom was in danger, and he never knew about it. The devastated man simply stroked his bear.
"I can't believe Zuko betrayed his uncle." Sokka added. "You know, when we were trapped in the caves, I really thought he had changed." Katara sighed. "What did happen in the caves?" Sokka asked suspiciously. His sister glared at him. "Nothing he just seemed...different." "He didn't hurt you, did he?" the water tribe warrior wanted more answers. "NO Sokka. I'm fine." Aang ignored the argument. He just couldn't get the picture of Katara and Zuko next to eachother out of his mind.
Prince Zuko rose out of bed. He got dressed and walked down the long corridor outside his room. Where were they keeping Iroh? The firebender asked the nearest guard where they were keeping his uncle. After getting directions he proceeded down the hallway. Zuko passed a room, and looked inside.
Mai sat alone on one of the olive green daybeds in it. She seemed frustrated, throwing her small knives at the wall. When Mai noticed him, her pale cheeks turned slightly pink and she accidently threw a knife into the nearest chair. "Wonderful day to be alive, isn't it?" she mumbled. "Yeah." he passed the doorway.
Zuko found the staircase that lead to the palace prisonhold, and strolled up and down, looking into each of the empty cells. "I am very disappointed in you." His uncles words echoed and Zuko found him in the end cell. "Is this what you really want?" Why did he come down here? To be lectured? The prince went back up the staircase as his once only companion called "Its not to late to change!"
