Fragment: Right lines are closed everyone, I don't need any more characters. Enjoy the story.

Karah!

On her way down to her room she came across Iroh.

"Hello Zhen, I was just on my way to see if you were okay and whether you would like some new clothes." He said kindly.

"I'm fine, thank you for the tea it was really nice. Erm… I don't suppose you've got anything that's not red?" Zhen asked.

"Hmm. I might be able to find something. Just out of curiosity why don't you want anything red?" He asked with an innocent look in his eyes.

Because when I get off this ship I don't want to be attacked anybody I come across. Zhen thought to herself.

"Well, I… er… just prefer neutral colours." She finished off lamely. Iroh didn't miss what she was saying though.

"Are you planning on leaving us so soon?" He asked. His forwardness surprised her; usually the fire nation weren't so friendly.

"Yes. I am leaving as soon as we reach some solid ground." She decided to be upfront to see his reaction.

"Are you from the southern water tribe then?"

"No." She hadn't belonged to anywhere for quite some time…

"Are you travelling, perhaps to the earth kingdom?" Iroh questioned.

"Yes but I need to find my friend first. We got separated in a snow storm." Zhen didn't know why but she felt she could trust him more than your average fire nationer.

"Well I hope you are reunited. From the speed that we are going, we will reach some ground soon." He said. Zhen just couldn't believe this.

"So you're just going to let me walk off this ship even though I might be your enemy?" she asked astounded.

"Well I'm not just going to let to walk off just like that; its cold out there and you need some clothes. I will just go and see if I can get my hands on some" With that he left Zhen dumbstruck in the corridor. He's definitely the kindest fire nation person I have ever met she thought shaking her head.

Not long after a knock came on her door.

"Come in." Zhen said. It was Iroh and he was carrying a bundle of brown clothes.

"They're not the best but they should keep you warm. I couldn't find anything a bit more… feminine." Iroh passed them over to Zhen. There was a pair of black ankle boots. Some black pants and a wrap round brown tunic with a sash to keep it in place. What caught her attention was black jacket stitched with silver thread that came to her knees with fur on the inside. It probably cost a pretty penny.

"I can't take this!" she exclaimed. "I couldn't walk off this ship in good conscience with something so… nice."

"Don't fret so much." He said reassuringly. "It has never been used and soon we will be out of the South Pole. I will leave you now; we will be at the southern water tribe soon"

"Why are you stopping at the southern water tribe?" Zhen asked curiously.

"My nephew believes the avatar may be there. He thinks that the bright light we saw earlier was from the avatar and has seen someone who may be the avatar." Iroh said solemnly.

"But I thought the avatar died and was never reborn." She queried.

"Nobody knows whether or not the avatar is alive." He said mysteriously. "Well I hope you have a safe trip and find your friend. Maybe our paths will cross again." He said on a happier tone. With that he left the room. Zhen smiled to herself. It would be nice to meet him again.

Karah's P.O.V.

Karah stumbled through the snowy terrain, looking for any signs of life. Than. at long last, she saw smoke rising in the distance. WIth a newfound energy, she ran through the snow as long as she could. Thankfully, the tiny village was in a distance that she could manage. As she approached the village, she saw a few people walking around and doing everyday things. She looked around until she saw a girl around her age with tan skin, dark brown hair, and blue eyes.

"Excuse me? Uh... miss?" Karah said, walking up to her.

"Um, hi... where did you come from...?" Said the girl.

"My friend and I came to the south pole to visit. She's always wanted to come here."

"Well... where's your friend?"

"We got split up during a storm. I haven't seen her since."

"I'm so sorry! My name's Katara bye the way."

"I'm Karah."

"Hi, Karah. Come with me, I'll get you some warm clothes and some food. You can stay here for the night and if your friend doesn't show up by then, we can send out a search party."

"Oh, I'm sure that's not necessary. Zhen is a water-bender, she should be able to take care of herself."

"Well at least stay here for the night. just incase... Zhen, right?... shows up."

"Alright. Thank you for being so kind."

Katara and Karah walked into the Katara's tent. Karah sat down while Katara looked through her things to try to find something for Karah to wear. Karah noticed a boy, around the age of twelve, laying unconcious. He had a strange tattoo in the shape of an arrow on his forehead, hands and feet.

"So... Are you a bender?" Karah asked.

"Yeah, I'm a waterbender. I can't do very much though, I'm the only one in my tribe, so there's no one to teach me. what about you?"

"I don't know what you'll say if I told you."

"I promise I won't do anything or freak out in anyway. No matter what."

"Okay, well first off, I don't believe in the war. At all. And neither did my adopted parents."

"Go on..."

"I'm a firebender. But not a bad one! My adopted parents and I lived in the fire nation most of my life. Then, they got accused of treason because they didn't support the war. I was raised not believing in the war."

"So... seriously...? You;re a firebender?"

Karah lit a small flame in the palm of her hand to show Katara. She still didn't freak out very much though, she was just surprised more than anything. Karah quickly put out the flame when she heard the curtain rustle at the entrance.

"Katara, the fire nation's coming." said a boy a year or two older than Karah.

"What?"

"I told you he was a spy Katara! He signaled the Fire Nation!"

"He's not a spy Sokka! He's just a boy! Gosh, Sokka, you're so paranoid!"

Sokka walked back out of the tent, angered. Katara and Karah followed close behind and saw a large metal ship docking on the village and destroying a poorly made watch tower. The ramp was lowered and Prince Zuko emerged. Karah looked up at him in distaste as he walked down the ramp. Out of the corner of her eye, Karah saw Sokka run up to try and attack Zuko, failing miserably. But at the same time, she saw a figure peering out of the ship. Zhen.
