"We need to stop somewhere and camp for the night," said Katara. I opened my eyes, turned onto my side, and pushed myself up into a sitting position. I was still brutally weak, but I had enough strength to talk.

"How're you feeling?" Aang said, sitting beside me. I shrugged.

"All right I suppose," I said quietly. I looked behind us at the setting sun. It was beautiful, and it upsets me to think that while me and Aang were gone for a hundred years, the Fire Nation decided to destroy our world. It wasn't theirs to take. Nor was it mine or Aang's. This was neutral territory.

Looking back at the others, it was hard to think about all that has changed in the past one hundred years.

Appa landed on the shore, and I slid down his tail. It was the easiest and most fun way to get down from him. "We need to set up camp before the sun sets. How about Katara and I go find firewood?" I said. My brother nodded, and me and Katara began to walk away.

It was silent for a long while, and by the time we started to talk, both of us had arms full of wood. "Annchi, tell me something... do you remember anything about your parents?"

I shook my head sadly. "No. When me and Aang were born, they gave us to the Air Nomads. I'm not sure if they knew one of us would be the next Avatar, but I don't want to know. Any person that doesn't want their child is-"

I dropped my wood, and turned around. "What-?"

"Shh..." I whispered. "I think I heard something."

Holding tight to my staff, Katara moved in front, ready to Waterbend if she had to. She didn't know much yet, but she was getting better. I turned my back to her, but continued walking. I was watching for anyone that was following us. She was looking for anyone who was trying to attack. Something went up in flames a few feet away, and I whipped my glider in one swift motion, quickly putting it out.

"You can't hide here. You are seriously out-matched!"

"And you are seriously out numbered," I knew that voice. I remember saying that the arrogance that surrounded him was so thick you couldn't cut through it.

"Prince Zuko, what an honor." I said sarcastically, relaxing my tense posture. About ten Firebenders emerged from the shadows of the trees. I looked around me at all of them and grimaced. Grabbing Katara's arm, I ran towards Zuko. He instinctively moved out of the way.

"Hurry, we have to warn Aang. Zuko doesn't know about the two Avatars yet. I plan to keep it that way."

I stopped running, and pushed Katara, making her continue forward. Zuko appeared then and I smiled. "I may be a kid," I began. "But I'm not weak. I proved that when I escaped, didn't I?"

Zuko seemed to flinch, and a weird expression was on his face, but it was gone just as quick as it had appeared. He held back the others from attacking me. This was our fight, he said. He would finish me and regain his honor.

"Come on, Prince, what do you got for me today?" I taunted. It was how I fought. Airbenders ususally defend themselves and those they love, they won't fight often. I was an oddity at the temple. Though I didn't like violence, tricking and taunting were my way of getting my opponent angry; to the point where they had no self control...

"You're all talk, aren't you? You've no spark, but you're a Firebender. How strange-" I kicked out and thrust a strong wind at the flames he threw. He was fuming, I could tell.

"And what about you, huh?" he shouted angrily and I had to admit he was very strong. I dodged the attacks easily though. "You're just a kid, and though you're the Avatar, you've yet to master the other elements. And it's pathetic, because we all know you've been hiding for a hundred years!"

He lashed out with more flames, and I was losing focus. My hands were burned. "You-"

With as much force as I could muster, I began to form another twister. It was bigger and stronger this time. My anger was powering it, and I could sense something within me. It was strong, and it began to consume me. A bright light began to swirl around with my tornado, and though deep down I knew that I had put fire into it, I couldn't stop just yet.

And I found myself talking in the voice of all the other Avatars before me. "I am not pathetic, I was not in hiding! You speak only in fear of what you've lost and have yet to gain. You never had your honor, your path was never straight," I shouted. "You follow what others think is best for you, you don't have a mind of your own!"

With that, my anger dissipated, my tornado was gone, and Aang, Sokka, and Katara were standing behind me in shock.
