Anyway, thanks for all your reviews… enjoy!!!

Chapter 6: The First Task

"Your first task, young Avatar, is a scavenger hunt of sorts," boomed the Spirit Guardian. "There are four ancient relics hidden throughout the spirit world. Each of these relics once belonged to an Avatar or legendary bender of the past or present. There is one for each nation. You can tell which nation it is by the small insignia of that element on the relic. You must find these four relics, and bring them back to this cloud," the Spirit Guardian stated.

"But there must be thousands of relics in the spirit world! How will I be able to figure out which ones are the four you've requested?" said Aang worriedly.

"Oh, you'll know. These relics have a… personal connection to you and your (ahem) friend. You have met the people they belong to before."

Aang nodded. He turned to Katara, there hands still clasped together. Katara looked straight into his dark gray eyes. Her eyes seemed to tell him, "I know you can do this." "Good luck," she said.

Aang nodded again, and let go of Katara's hands. He took one step away from her, but then turned back and looked into her sky blue eyes. His eyes were clouded with worry.

Without another word, Aang turned and walked away. The Spirit Guardian looked at Katara, confused.

"You there! Water Tribe girl!" she barked. "Why are you just standing there? The Avatar requires a little assistance during this task."

Katara gazed at Aang with an excited smile. Aang returned the same smile. Katara ran over to where Aang was standing, and together they began their descent down the earth staircase that Aang had made.

After they were out of sight and earshot, the Spirit Guardian turned to Yue. "Do they know of their feelings for each other yet?" she asked her.

"Yes. Did you not hear Katara shouting her true feelings towards Earth?" said Yue. "And Aang has admitted it to a guru. But I am sure that each doesn't know that the other feels the same way."

The Spirit Guardian nodded. "I see. They'll know sooner or later. Part of both's destiny is each other."

Aang and Katara silently walked down the seemingly endless staircase. As they continued their trek, Katara spoke up.

"So, um… how did you know you could save me?" she said awkwardly.

"Avatar Roku spoke to me in a dream," said Aang. "He told me that there was a way to save someone I lo-, uh, I mean, really care about, like a sister."

"Oh. Well, um… did you hear what I shouted?"

"I heard you shouting, but I didn't hear what you said. What was it?"

"Um, maybe it's better you don't know." Katara said, as she looked at her feet, blushing.

Aang raised an eyebrow, a little suspicious.

At long last, they finally reached the surface. The great Spirit World jungle laid out before them in an endless expanse.

"Are you ready?" said Aang, turning to Katara.

"As I'll ever be," said Katara. She took his hand, and the two began to walk into the jungle in their quest for the four relics.

Short, I know. Hey, I'm creating a website. I'm still in the process of creating it, but look for it under the "homepage" thingy in my profile sometime soon. Chapter 7 will be posted in one month!!! Byeeeeeeee!!
