They settled down in a small stoned in yard to the south of the village. Keima jumped off of Appa and looked around. He shuddered and turned back to look at the others. He shook his head with a weak smile.

"Of all places, you have to land in a grave yard." Sokka stopped mid-jump and darted back onto Appa. He looked at the ground and frowned. There were no headstones, or grave markers. He slid off of the large bison and looked around. Keima was smiling weakly.

"This is the place I have been seeing.." Katara frowned as she and Toph jumped down to the ground. Katara shook her head at him.

"This isn't the place where Toph…" Keima turned his discolored eyes to look at her then looked over to Toph.

"No. I have seen this place in my visions for years. I do not travel to the south of the village much, so I was unaware of how outstandingly close it was." He frowned as he looked around. Sokka took a step back as a fuzzy feeling crawled over him. Keima turned back to look at Sokka.

"Do you have that crystal I gave you?" Sokka nodded dumbly and held it out. Keima shook his head at it and looked back around. Katara put her hands on her hips.

"Just what are you looking for?" She asked as she shook her head. Keima frowned at her and hissed through his teeth, in a shushing manner. She crossed her arms and frowned deeper at his back. Toph could feel the anger radiating from Katara and stifled a laugh. Sokka watched the odd man as he would take a step in one direction, then a couple in another. Aang watched and jumped with a start as Keima started running.

Aang jumped off the bison and took off after the man, leaving the other three dumb-founded. Keima slid to a stop at a large stone tomb, seemingly the only in the entire cemetery. Aang looked at him as he skid to a stop. Keima's eyes were wide and a smile covered his face. He brought his hands up and fanned his fingers out hovering over the stone. His eyes jerked wildly at the inscriptions as he moved.

"AH!" He exclaimed suddenly. He turned to look at Aang, then looked behind him. His face dropped slightly.

"The others did not follow?" Aang shook his head.

"No…you kinda just started running and it was a little weird." Aang said with a small smile. Keima nodded and turned back from the avatar. He looked back at the small panel.

"Aang, put your hand on the stone." Aang looked at the tomb, back at the man, then back to the tomb.

"Are you kidding? You touch it." Keima looked at him with a stern frown.

"This is a tomb. I'm a soothsayer…do you see a problem here?" Aang frowned. He really didn't but he had a feeling that he wouldn't win the argument anyway, so he took a step forward and put his hand on the stone panel. He didn't know what he was expecting. Perhaps he was expecting to be burned, or shocked, or maybe some scary trip to the spirit world. But there was nothing. No demon spirits popping out to eat him, no estranged ghosts. Nothing. Aang frowned and looked over at the other man.

"Nothing happened."Kiema's face dropped as he glared at Aang. He pulled his glove off and slapped Aang with it.

"Nothing was supposed to happen. Feel the rock, there should be a small piece that pushes in." Aang frowned and touched his cheek where the leather glove left a small whelp.

"Okay okay, don't be so touchy." He snorted and moved his fingers over the rock. A small triangular piece gave under his fingers causing him to look back at Keima.

"Here.."

"Push it." Aang looked back at the tomb and frowned. His eyes turned back to look at the odd hermit.

"Okay, is something going to pop out and eat me, scare me, possess me, or anything else that might scar me for life?" Keima smiled.

"Possibly. I don't know." Aang frowned as the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end.

"How could you not know!? You see the future?!" Kiema's smile widened as he shook his head.

"Nothing is there. Stop being such a girl."

"EXCUSE ME?!" Keima cringed as Katara's voice boomed over him. He turned to look at her with a look that said he was ready for the tongue lashing. The two siblings and Toph were standing behind them. Katara walked over with her hands on her hips, but was careful to stay out of arms reach.

"I didn't mean..."

"Are you implying that women are weak..." Keima felt his eyebrow twitch. This was why he was a hermit.

"I was merely saying that because he..."

"Because what? Because he was afraid? He was afraid so he was acting like a women?? Is that what you were saying?" Keima shook his head and looked briefly at Sokka, who only shrugged.

"I was trying to say that the fact is women are more partial to fear than men." Katara's eyes grew wide and he felt his stomach drop. There was no pleasing this woman.

"WHAT?!" He frowned and pulled his glove on. With a roll of his mismatched eyes he turned to look at the young monk. He nodded and Aang pushed the small stone in as far as it would go. Keima watched with a certain level of expectation as the stone wall shifted and moved. After the door fully opened it revealed a long dark stair way. Keima turned to the others.

"I hope that someone has a torch?" They shook their heads. He turned to look at the small avatar. "Then can you bend fire?" Again the only response he received was a shake of the head. Keima frowned with unbelieving eyes. "What use are you then? An avatar that can't fire bend." He shook his head as he turned to look down the dark hall way.

Sokka walked up and peeked into the darkness. He heard Keima cough as he turned to look at him. Keima peeked his eyes open after the threat of a coughing fit subsided. He cocked a grin at Sokka.

"Hand me the crystal I gave you." Sokka frowned and dug into his pocket pulling out the small stone. He dropped it into Keima's gloved hand and watched as the stone began to radiate. The hermit turned and held the stone up and into the darkness. He turned.

"Toph, if you would be so kind as to lead the way." Sokka frowned and fought the urge to grab Keima by the shoulder and shake him.

"What are you talking about?! She doesn't need to go first!" Keima cocked an eyebrow at the over protective boy.

"With what reason? Clearly she can 'see' better than any of us." Sokka frowned deeper.

"How do we know you aren't the one that kills Toph? And that you're not leading us into a trap?" Keima's eyebrow twitched. He hated people.

"Okay for one, if I was going to kill her, I would have done it. Two, I wouldn't have made a point in meeting you. As far as the trap, I'll go in first then." Sokka didn't budge however. He only shook his head.

"Well If you don't kill Toph, kindly tell me who does, if you know so much?" Kiema narrowed his mismatched eyes. Truly people he didn't understand. Duck-turtles, now those he understood just fine. Kiema straighted up and turned to look at the Avatar. His eyes moved back to look at Sokka as he brought his hand up, his thumb pointing over his shoulder to Aang.

"He does."
