Sokka was appalled. He worked so hard, and now his dream was a nightmare.
"Great Roku!" exclaimed Sokka in horror.
He had hoped to build a beautiful body... but he had created a monster!
Horrified by the hideous creature he had made, Sokka fled from the room.
He paced up and down his bedroom untill he was completely exhausted.
At last he collapsed on the bed. But his sleep was haunted by scary, sickening visions... in his dreams he saw his dear, sweet Suki, and hurried to kiss her. But she turned into his dead mother's corpse, rotting and crawling with worms!
Sokka woke to find a huge, clumsy hand reaching through the bed curtains. He dashed out of the house, his heart thumping wildly.
He staggered through the streets in the pouring rain, half-crazy. He didn't know where he was going, but he didn't dare go back.
By chance he found himself outside an inn, where a coach had arrived from Gaoling. He stopped to look, and found himself staring straight at his old friend, Zuko!
"My dear Bei Fong! How glad I am to see you!" greeted Zuko.
