Bolin, try as he might to not, kept looking up the path, wating for Jinora. He wished that he wasn't so desperate, but he couldn't help it. Jinora could help Bolin in ways nobody else could. It would mean the world to him if she came.

The boat that Bolin was suppose to come on was close to docking. Even if Jinora was coming, she wasn't going to make it. The boat wasn't going to wait forever. Eventually it need to leave.

After docking, a man came down to escort Bolin.

"Wait, someones coming. We need to wait for her," Bolin tried to stop the man, grabbing his hand from picking up Bolin's suitcase. The man looked at him strangly.

"Sir, he need to get going if we're going to get there by the end of the day," the escort said. Bolin signed. He didn't like that idea, but he had to go with it. He followed the man onto the boat. As he got on, he looked around. The boat was truely beautiful.

The main color was white with hints of blue. Certain objects made out of glass, and as far as Bolin could tell, ice. When he asked the man what it was, he ignored him and kept walking.

Bolin took one last look at the temple, not know for sure that he was coming back. Bolin didn't think that he would die, this was just a simple trip, but there might be something more for him elsewhere. He was just turning away when he saw a orange shape running. As it got closer, Bolin could see it was Jinora.

"Jinora," Bolin yelled.

"Bolin," she ran up the stairs and almost knocked him over as she hugged him.

"I didn't think that you would come," Bolin said, quietly, almost asamed.

"Of course I did, how could I leave you?"

The boat neared the island where Bolin first start his journey. This was where his soul was merged with Ben Dan. He wasn't sure how he felt about coming back.

It's close, Ben Dan hissed somewhere in the back of Bolin's head.

"What is?" Bolin said softly, but Ben Dan didn't answer. "Ben Dan's nerves," Bolin said to Jinora, who was standing right next to him.

"Whose Ben Dan?" Jinora asked.

"Just the spirit who lives in my head," Bolin replied. Jinora started at him a little longer the nessary, or least a little longer than Bolin felt comfertable with, shook her head, then turned her head back to the island.

"Is that where you were taken?" a voice said behind Bolin. Bolin turned and came face to face with Verrick.

"I don't know, it seems familer, though," Bolin replied.

"Good," Verrick replied. Something flashed in Verricks eyes. It made Bolin unconfertable, but it was gone as fast as it came. Old Verrick was back.

We have to go back, Ben Dan said. Bolin could almost feel him squirming in his head.

"Excuse me for a minute," Bolin said, pushing past Verrick and Jinora, not taking a second look at him. Bolin came to an empty room, not really seeing anything, just feeling around. Ben Dan went from a slight annoence to a fall on headache. Bolin slammed the door shut.

"What's your problem," Bolin yelled, then regreted it. Yelling just made his head hurt.

I can't go back, Ben Dan aid, almost despret.

"Yeah? Why not? Its not as if that place ruined your life," Bolin said, bitterly.

Verrick's using you, can't you see? Just don't trust him. The pressure in his disapeared, letting Bolin relax. He walked out door and into the hallway. What did Ben Dan mean by Verrick's using him? Verrick's was his friend. Or was he?

Bolin shook the thoughts out of his head. There was no time to be doubting a friend. Especaily if a creature inside you was saying that. Ben Dan may have not been able to take control, but he still could plant thoughts into Bolin's head.

"Where did you go?" Jinora said as soon as Bolin enter the deck. Verrick also look at him questionably.

"I had to pee," he replied. Jinora shook her head and cracked a smile. Bolin felt happy he made her laugh, that he made her smilenin general. This was going to be a hard time for her. It was sure going to be for him.

"We're ready to leave, sir," a man said behind Verrick. Bolin turned to look at the man, but Verrick didn't even turn around. The man stood there for a few seconds before Verrick said, "Shouldn't you be leaving?"

"Yeah, I mean, yes sir," the man, tripped over his feet as he raced to get out.

"It's so hard to find good employees these days," Verrick said, shaking his head. Jinora and Bolin exchanged looks. Bolin turned an d looked back at Verrick.

"What's the plan Verrick? Are we going to go in and kick some serious ass?" Bolin said, punching an imaginary man.

"Now Bolin, don't swear in frount of the lady," Bolin shoulders slumped, but out of the corner of his eye, he could see Jinora smile and blush. Bolin made a big show of taking Jinora's had and bowing.

"I'm dearly sorry, Jinora," Bolin said. She rolled her eyes. Jinora was just about to say something when the boat hit the shore.

"Well, that was a bit more than I was expecting," Verrick said. "Come on, time to get off." Bolin took Jinora's hand and followed Verrick off the boat. He took a look around the land he been to, but never really had the chance to take in. There were trees and grass coving the entire area that was in view.

Jinora squeezed Bolin's hand a bit harder when she heard a slight growl a few feet off.

"Don't be worry, I'm here," Bolin said. Jinora nodded and swallowed.

Bolin was going to ask Jinoa something when the lab came into view. There where a few dried leave surrounding the area, windows were in different stages of broke, and the fence was torn down in some places, but that was the worse of it. Ben Dan started squirming again.

"Calm down," Bolin said, as softly as he could. Really, Ben Dan was sometimes just like a over energic dog.

"What, I wasn't doing anything," Jinora replied.

"No, not you," Bolin said, shaking his head.

"Then who?" Before Bolin could answer, they approched the gate. He heard one of the men traveling with him say, "Its a good thing something torn down these gates, or we would have a hell of a time getting over it." Bolin didn't want to mention it was probably he who ruined the gate.

Him and Jinora stepped over the bob wire fence that used to be the gate and followed the rest of the group inside. The main build was dark. Well, it was dark until the men took out some strange invection that shined light throughout the hallway.

"Like them. I made those special for this trip," Verrick said, startling Bolin.

"Yeah, they're pretty cool, what do you call them?"

"Haven't thought of that yet, maybe flashlight? No that's a stupid name," Bolin left Verrick to think about a new name to go amd talk to the scientist he reconized from the lab. He could see Jinora already beat him to it. The scientist was explaining to Jinora about some strange formula Bolin didn't really understand.

"So Bolin," the scientist said. "Are you aware of the reasoning behind our trip here?"

"We're getting the body of the dragon, right?" Bolin said, shrugging.

"Partly, yes. Did my employer inform you of the reasoning behind getting the body?"

"To make sure this never happened again," Bolin said, jestering to himself.

"Intresting," the scientist said.

For the first time, Bolin wondered if there was truth behind Ben Dan's words.
