Part 3- The Broken Earth Kingdom- Chapter 3 (Chapter 19)
Life Without the Avatar
Sokka and Katara whispered a conversation to each other while walking with the rest of the group.
"How are we supposed to bring peace to the biggest nation in the world without the Avatar, who, technically, is the Peacemaker?" Sokka asked Katara.
"I don't know but what I do know is that Toph's out of her mind, how can she just get rid of Aang, doesn't she know that we can't do this without him?" Katara replied.
"Katara, I think you should know well enough by now that Toph doesn't need anyone, or at least that's what she thinks. You know how people always say the Earthbenders are the strong ones who never give up? Well, the strong people usually have a lot of pride. And Toph is an Earthbender, Toph is strong, in fact, she's the queen of the pridey people! She's obviously gonna think that we don't need Aang, when everyone else knows that we do." said Sokka.
"You're right," Katara said, "But doesn't that mean we're walking into a disaster that we can't fix?"
Sokka was about to say something when Toph said, "Okay, everyone, we'll stop here for the night," Toph pointed her hand and two different spaces in the ground, "I'll make the tents, well, they'll be made out of rock, though, but anyway, one space will be the boys' tent and the other is the girls'."
"We'll talk tomorrow," Sokka whispered to Katara, "I'm tired,"
"Fine, I need to have a talk with the Earth Queen anyway," Katara said as she walked away angrily.
Soon, everyone was in their tents, ready to go to bed. Except for Katara, who wasn't one bit tired.
"Toph, we need to talk," Katara said, "In private,"
Both of them walked out of the tent to the side of camp. Zuko heard footsteps and looked outside the tent to see who was there. When he saw it was Katara and Toph he quietly hid himself inside the tent with his head sticking out just far enough for him to hear them.
"Toph, why didn't you let Aang come with us?" Katara asked calmly.
"Ugh, do we have to talk about this?" Toph asked in an immature manner.
"Yes, we do, now tell me,"
"He didn't tell me that there was fighting going on in the Earth Kingdom, if he did, we could've stopped this from happening, and I'd still be queen of something," Toph replied
"But he knew he made a mis-"
"The mistake he made was unforgivable!" Toph exclaimed in a whisper.
"But-"
"No," Toph said, "He's shouldn't have come and he won't come, and that's final!" Toph stormed away.
Katara collapsed her knees to the cold soil beneath her and dug her face in her hands. Tears started flowing out of her eyes. Suddenly, someone removed her hands from her face, she looked up, the person was Zuko. He wiped the tears off of her face and hugged her.
"It'll be okay," Zuko said to her.
"No it won't," Katara said, "How are we supposed to do this without Aang?"
"I don't know, but we can try," Zuko replied.
