The presence surrounding the group of teenagers was unquestionably unnerving. A cold chill spread throughout their bodies.

"Toph, who's there?" Aang whispered, struggling to break his bonds. But Toph didn't have the ability to answer as her bonds sunk in deeper. "Hey! Who's there? Let go of us!"

"Aang, help!" Katara yelled in desperation.

Zuko struggled on his own clasp. "What the hell is happening?! I swear someone is right here!"

"I think we're in the presence of spirits," Sokka whispered knowingly.

"He is correct!" a voice bellowed, "And only those with pure hearts and incorruptible souls can cross into our town. The others shall perish."

"What is it with these places?" Zuko muttered.

Almost instantly, the ex-prince's feet were lifted off the ground and he was left levitating in the air. "Um… Guys! Little help! Floating here!" Suddenly, there was a swish, and Zuko was released (Well, more along the lines of thrown) to the ground.

"How do we prove our worth?" Aang asked, stepping in front of his friends -Katara- protectively, his authority tone being utilized.

Abruptly, a man stood before them and gazed down at Aang. "That won't be necessary, young Avatar, for we have already read into your souls. Miss Toph Bei Fong may pass. As can Miss Katara and Sir Sokka of the Southern Water Tribe."

"What of us?" Aang asked.

"Miss Kiama Chang and Mr. Mizu Chang may pass. But, we have a strict rule that only six may pass. Now, the Avatar, or the exiled prince?"

Zuko looked down. "Why don't I wait on Appa?"

"Good idea," the man agreed.

Toph snorted and said sarcastically, "Yeah, because last time we left you alone on Appa everything worked out so well."

"I was unconscious!" Zuko argued.

"No." Toph grabbed Zuko's tunic and pulled him along. "Sparky comes." No one seemed to protest this.

As they crossed into the forest though, Zuko suddenly gasped. "Stop! Stop!" In almost fear, Toph let go and he backed out quickly. "It doesn't want me to pass," he panted. "It really, really doesn't want me to pass!"

"Okay. This is beyond weird," Mizu said. "Kiama, we should stay out here."

"NO! I wanna see the spirits!" she whined.

Katara looked around. "Maybe you should stay and keep Zuko company," she tried, before giving Zuko an apologetic smile.

"Does anybody but me find it weird that we're, um…I don't even know what to call this!" Zuko stuttered in disbelief.

Before an answer could escape anyone's lips, a form of tornado spun before them and as quickly as it came it passed and suddenly standing before them was Avatar Roku.

"Hello, Aang," he greeted warmly. Aang smiled up at him.

"Guys, this is Avatar Roku. Avatar Roku, this is Sokka, Katara, Toph, Mizu, Kiama, and Zuko," Aang introduced.

"Not to be rude or anything," Sokka started, "But what's going on?!" he demanded.

Roku turned to the forest. "It seems fellow spirits aren't being very hospitable." His look was quite fearsome. "But that's not why I'm here. Aang, come with me. You will be able to take two friends with you. Choose quickly, and wisely."

"Well Toph would be truly blind since we can't bend in the spirit world. And no offence but I don't know Mizu and Kiama all that well. Um, so, Sokka and Katara."

Katara muttered something inaudible to all but Toph who hit her in the arm.

Roku smiled. "Very well. The rest of you should get out of here as soon as possible. Humans staying on spiritual islands, especially if unwelcome, have died here."

"Let's get a move on then shall we? Maybe this time someone else can take the map and lead us somewhere where we are actually welcomed!" Toph mumbled sarcastically, already climbing onto Appa.

Aang looked down. "Those weren't normal spirit islands, were they?"

"No, Aang" Roku's voice was fully of remorse. "But that's not the most important thing now. The avatar spirits have been gifted with visions of the future, and it does not look bright young avatar. It does not look bright at all. There will be death. Death and destruction."

"Joyous" Sokka deadpanned. "Freaky spirit magic saves the day again. And now it can also predict the future!"

"Sokka!" Katara exclaimed, worried immensely that what her brother said was offensive.

Aang looked grimly out into the nothingness. "What can I do?"

"Only what you are doing in the current. Death is inevitable"

Aang looked him in the eyes. "My friends are too young to die!"

"Be aware Aang" Roku warned. "Thing, even things we speak of now, are not always what they seem" and with that the ground disintegrated and Aang screamed.

XXX

"Turn around. They need us!" Toph yelled.

Zuko grumbled something. "Stupid bison isn't listening!" he looked at Appa. "Aang needed help. Turn around" he pulled at the reins. Finally the sky bison roared in acknowledgement and turned.

"AANG! KATARA! SOKKA!" Toph called their names as the pulled back at the island.

The two sibling looked at each other strangely. "So this really does happen every day" Mizu shook his head and smiled lightly.

"It's fun!!" Kiama exclaimed causing Toph to laugh despite herself.

"Katara!" the teen snapped her head up just in time to grab Zuko's outstretched hand. "Where's Sokka and Aang?"

"There!" Kiama yelled, pointing to the two boys on the other side of the island. Aang was passed out in Sokka's arms.

Aang was set down on Appa and Sokka took back to driving. Katara checked on Aang and Zuko handled the map. It seemed the safest option.

Katara could faintly hear Zuko telling her brother the go left, which he turned right and then the boys fought about it. "Left is that way" Katara pointed back.

Sokka slumped down, obviously the loser. But he got happier as Zuko's island became bigger.

"Well lets pray that Sparky knew where he was taking us" Top muttered, jumping onto the sand. "None. Nobody and nothing but us" she smiled. "Nice work"

Sokka smiled. 'I flew us here"

"Sort of"

alright, first off, does it really matter who said that last line?

Next, the whole weird spirit thing is not random, it's super important but you wont get it until Aang wakes up.

And I do portray Sokka as a directional idiot, and no it's not because i think he's stupid. I infact am a directional idiot ten times worse then Sokka.

Well yeah, the end seems kind of rushed, but just....wait for the next update cause i really don't want to give away the story. xD
