Intalyi
Everything is Connected
A few days after they left Sitalyi, Aang, Toph, and Satoru sat in the woods, trying to come up with a decent plan.
"How is it possible to find them when there's not a single trace of where they could've gone?" asked Satoru.
"Why can't everything just be, like, magically connected or something?" complained Toph.
"Wait a minute…" Something clicked in Aang's mind. "Everything is connected!" Aang blurted out. "Before we met you, Toph, we were in a swamp, and I met a guy who taught me that everything is connected. He taught me how to find anything in the world just by concentrating!"
"Are you sure?" asked Satoru suspiciously.
"Positive!" said Aang excitedly. "Look, I'll find them right now!" Aang sat down on the ground, closed his eyes, and his hands into the earth. He sat there for a second, completely motionless.
"They're in the Southern Water Tribe!" he exclaimed.
"How could that be?" asked Toph.
"The hot air balloon landed to refuel and they snuck off!"
"But…," started Satoru.
"Come on! If we leave now, I can make Appa fly at top speed and we'll make it their by tomorrow afternoon!"
High up in the air, with all the hot air balloons gone, Aang, Toph, and Satoru sat in Appa's new saddle designed by Jong, the Sitalyin that had helped them in Sitalyi.
"Alright Toph, time to water-heal you again."
Toph groaned. For some reason she hated having Aang waterbend on her to heal the burns on her chest and arms. "Alright, but close you eyes."
Aang and Satoru closed their eyes as Toph pulled off her shirt. Though it was hard for Aang to waterbend on her chest with his eyes closed, he managed. He took the jug of water that was next to him and waterbended the water through the air and over to Toph. The floating water slowly healed a little more of the burn
When he was done, Aang said, "Time for your arms."
Toph slipped her shirt back on and said, "You can open your eyes now."
Aang and Satoru opened their eyes. Toph pulled up her sleeves and Aang repeated the process on her arms.
"Thanks," muttered Toph.
Satoru shivered. "We must be getting close."
There's more on the way!
