The sun hadn't come up yet when they made it to Ember Island. Zuko went to wake Dale and was surprised to find the special agent already awake.
"Morning Prince Zuko," said Dale.
Zuko nodded, determined to keep his temper in check. Today he had to focus all his energy on finding the Avatar.
"Do you know exactly where on the island I'll find the Avatar?" Zuko asked, his voice filled with cynicism.
Dale paused to consider the question. "I believe you should start with the beach."
Zuko didn't bother trying to understand why and knew better than to ask. He closed his eyes and took slow, deep breaths to calm himself and mentally prepare for the fight ahead of him. Today was the day he would regain his honour. He looked over at Dale who was already making a cup of tea and scowled.
"For your sake, I hope the Avatar is on Ember Island today," he muttered.
