Kain was walking down to the ship when he noticed Kalo and Mai saying goodbye to each other. He smiles and turns around, and sees Jun coming out of the shadows. "What do you need?" he asks.
"I came to say goodbye to you, and to apologize. I am sorry for not having the same feelings you have."
Kain smiles. "Don't worry. I will eventually find somebody." he looks over towards Mai. "Maybe sooner than later."
Jun follows his gaze and smiles. "You two will be good for each other."
Kain frowns. "Maybe if she stopped hating me for trying to take you from her brother." he laughed dryly. Kain noticed Mai and Kalo part, and Kalo was walking towards him. Kalo stopped and frowned. "What do you want Kalo?" Kain asks coldly.
"I came to ask you to watch over my sister. Mai is a strong woman, but she is still innocent. She has never shed any blood, and I want you to keep her from having to for as long as possible."
Kain smiles. "OK, I will watch over her."
Kalo sighs. "I have seen the way you watch her. I have also noticed the way she watches you, and I want to know, how do you feel for her?"
Kain frowns slightly. "I don't know yet. But I think I am starting to fall for her."
"Never break her heart. If you do, I will make sure you are the last dragoon to ever exist." Kalo says, turning away. "Come on, Jun. We need to leave." Jun nods, and Kain watches as the two leave.
"I will never break her heart Kalo. I promise you that." Kain whispers into the empty air.

Mai sat on the ship and watched the sea below her window. She heard light foot steps behind her. "What's on your mind?" Kain asked.
Mai sighed and turned to look at him. He had his helmet off, and Mai admired his beauty. His flawless, pale skin. His deep emerald eyes. His beautiful shoulder length blond hair. He was a truly perfect creature. Mai smiled before replying. "I was just thinking about Tom-Tom." she looked back out the window to hide the tears. "I wonder if he will ever remember me?"
Kain sat next to her and smiled. He loved the way she looked. Her cropped black hair with the two buns, her beautiful golden eyes, and her perfect porcelain white skin. "I'm sure he is OK, and he will remember you. You are probably the most unforgettable person in the world."
Mai faces Kain and smiles. "Thank you." she whispers before embracing him. Kain smiles and wraps his arms around Mai's shoulders.

Jecht paced outside of Yugoda's hut, nervous for the mysterious woman he found. Tidus watched him from the ice wall, Yue holding his hand. "Why do you watch him so much?"
"I don't know. I hate him so much, but I also respect him. I want to be like him so much, but part of mr knows that will never happen."
Yue smiles. "Of course it won't, silly. You are you, not Jecht. You will never be your father, because your heart is too soft."
Tidus' face hardens. "A soft heart...you mean I'm weak."
Yue sighs. "No, not weak. Kind. Jecht hardened his heart when Arora died. You opened up more to everyone. Please, don't be like Jecht. I love the soft-hearted boy you have become. I don't want you to be cold and emotionless like him." Tidus looked into Yue's eyes and smiled.
"I promise to never become like him." he whispers and lightly kisses Yue.

Sokka was pacing around the healing hut, when Katara came bursting out. "Sokka, she's awake!"
Sokka followed Katara into the hut and saw the girl sitting up in bed. She looked over at Sokka and smiled. "So you where the one that saved me. Thank you." she bowed the best she could from the bed. She looked back at Gran-Gran and frowned a little. "So, where exactly am I?"
"You are in the Southern Water Tribe." Gran-Gran replied.
"So I am in the world of the avatar?" she asked.
Gran-Gran looked at her confused. "Yes, but why the odd questions?"
The girl sighed. "How many worlds do you think their are?"
The old woman shrugged. "I'm not sure."
"Their are three known worlds connected together through the spirit world. Yours, the World of Balance. Mine, Furcadia, the World of Life. And finally, Asgard, the World of Ruin."
Sokka stepped forward. "So, if you are from Furcadia, why came here?"
"I was captured by spirit named Koe when I was four. I was in captivity for about three years. I escaped recently, and my patron deity told me to come to this world. He sent me here, and that is when you found me."
Sokka looked at her and frowned. "You don't look seven. You look more around my age."
The girl smiled. "I am seven, but my people, the fox tribes, age twice as fast as you humans. Once we reach about eight, we stop aging. We live until about eighty years old, or more if we take good care of ourselves."
Katara smiled. "So what is your name?"
"I am Kitsa Rukia. What are your names?"
Gran-Gran smiled. "I am Kanna, but you will call me Gran-Gran. The girl is Katara, and the boy is Sokka."
Sokka smiles. "So, are their benders on in your world."
"Yes, their are benders in every world. Of course bending is obtained differently. In my world, when you turn two, we choose if we want to bend or use weapons. We then train in the stances for the element we want to bend. At four we traveled to the shrine of our chosen patron deity, and pray for the power to bend our chose element. The god will grant you the power and give you a scroll to practice off of. Then to complete the ritual you write down three moves you create and offer the scroll back to your deity, and you become a master. Unfortunately, I was never able to complete the ritual, because I was captured after I obtained my scroll."
Katara smiled. "What do you bend?"
"Fire." Kitsa replied smiling. She looked over at Sokka and saw pure rage on his face. "What's wrong, Sokka?" Instead of answering, he turned and left the hut. Everyone watched him with confused looks on their faces.

Azula watched as the waves beat against the side of the ship. She looked up and saw the storm clouds gathering and smiled. Rain had always been her favorite weather. The sheer force behind the lightning, the way it showed no mercy. There was noting like a good lightning storm. She heard footsteps behind her and turned. "What do you want, Zhao?"
"I have come to inform you we need to dock soon. With the storm rolling in, we will be vulnerable."
Azula sighed. "And why do I care?"
"Because if this ship goes down, so do you."
Azula smiled. "Fine, go to dock. But when we do, I will take the ship and leave you behind.. You are an idiot and a worthless bender. You have no self-control and no balls. you are a worthless coward, and I hate my father even more for putting you on this ship."
Zhao stepped back. "What will you do without me?"
Azula laughed. "I will go to the north pole, and create an army to invade the fire nation. You will go back to my father and report my disloyalty. And give him this warning. I will take the throne from you and make you pay for what you did to me." Zhao steps back when he sees the feral look in her eyes. "You know, I don't think I will wait for us to dock." She walks forward and grabs Zhao's shirt. She hauls him over to the railing and throws him overboard. She walks to the control room of the ship. A young soldier was steering the ship. "I am your new captain. We need to dock and weather the storm."
The soldier nods and stears the ship toward the nearest dock.
