A thank you to my reviewers, and I look forward to your comments when I am done uploading!


The ship landed a week later, literally just a couple of hours after Iroh had finally woken from his coma-like stupor. He was walking calmly around the city as though it were nothing, Kailee always remaining at his side, recalling how everything was just one giant blur just after the massive amount of pain that she'd suffered at Amon's hand.

But Kailee had heard what her cousin, Tarala, had said about her uncle, Amon. She now knew just why she couldn't remember, just why she couldn't use bending at all. She wasn't a natural born chi blocker, she was a bender – she'd just had it taken away before she could learn of her lineage and use it.

Iroh's stupor wasn't something to be taken lightly, his soldiers knew, but they also knew that it would be best for him to simply wait and rest in the town for a long time while they went and began trying to hunt down the one who turned their leader into a marshmallow, of sorts.

Iroh himself was quite confused at the time, since he remembered nothing of his past, and whenever he did, it gave him a splitting migraine. He didn't push it, his companion was making sure of that, and he soon learned that it was the result of a forbidden art called bloodbending that Amon had used on her as a small child and by his daughter on him just a week earlier. She explained everything that Tarala had explained to her in as much detail as she possibly could. It was all in Morse Code of course, which for some strange reason to the both of them, he still remembered alongside his own name.

But everything else was a blank for him. He could tell by the burn on his left arm that he'd gotten in a fight with a firebender, and from what he'd heard of this bloodbender he had been a firebender. It didn't take long for him to discover that he had a hard time finding his voice around anyone except his companion. And although he felt as though he were a quiet man who preferred to analyze things for war and his solitude, and their relationship was definitely an odd one, he enjoyed it nonetheless.

If she smiled, he smiled. If she was upset, he was upset. Their emotions were always running mere seconds apart, as if the two were yin and yang, always spinning around each other. He was cool calm and collected, while she was fiery and hot-tempered. He analyzed things as though life was a war going on, and she was merely focused on the goal that she wanted, which was to find her family.

"You're lucky," Kailee said to Iroh one day. "You have me to tell you where you worked and who you were. I had nobody, nothing, nothing but this necklace to guide me."

Iroh blinked and nodded as he stepped towards her to take her hand and tap out a message back.

"Then we'll go find your past together. 'Together in WT', huh? WT must mean Water Tribe, but which one?"

"I don't know," Kailee frowned sorrowfully. "I just wish I did. Which one does Master Katara live in? She'll know, right?"

"I… think so," Iroh said contemplating. "She may know how to heal us as well."

Right as Iroh and Kailee were about to kiss, there was a tapping at the window. The General turned at the sound, feeling a sense of déjà vu come over him as his pet messenger hawk tapped again at the window. He held out his arm and closed the window as his bird perched loyally, but remained stoic as it sensed that its master had changed somehow.

"What is it?" Kailee asked as Iroh unwrapped the scrolls and parcel that had been sent by Korra and the Air nomads.

"It's from Avatar Korra," Iroh tapped out on her palm at last with interest evident in his eyes. "This will probably make more sense with both of us looking at it to try to piece things together…"

"Yeah…" Kailee said blushing nervously as she went to stand beside Iroh to look at the letter.

General Iroh II,

Thanks for the update on our mutual mute friend. The Air Nomads, Mako, Bolin, Lin, and Asami all send their regards and are wishing you the best of luck right now. Master Katara wants to talk to you to try to figure something out about the mute girl who Lin claims is named Kailee.

I've been doing some research about the night that City Hall was attacked with the previous Team Avatar within it, or what was left of it and their families anyways. It turns out that neither of the dead adults on the ground was related to their parents by blood, but were both adopted by Avatar Aang and Katara, and Ty Lee and Sokka, for their bending prowess and their eagerness to please.

Apparently the only daughter that they had was doted on by Master Katara, because even at that tender age she had a few jealous cousins through her relatives. Her father apparently had a sister that was married to an Equalist, but she was killed on the night of the attack as well for some odd reason. Here's where it gets tricky, though.

I want to say that the Equalist that the sister was married to was Amon, but I'm not sure. Lin says it's possible, and that there was indeed a teen at Amon's side when he took her bending away. Avatar Aang keeps sending me the same images of Yakone again like he did when I was trying to figure out how Amon was taking people's bending away, and I think that he's trying to warn me again.

I asked Master Katara, and I've got just the thing to make sure that we've got the right one that is her granddaughter – the necklace that Master Katara gave Kailee. I won't tell you what it says for fear that the letter may just get into the wrong hands, but I do know that there was another gift that was lost while they were trying to escape, another gift that Master Korra says that a firebender picked up.

The problem is that nobody knows what happened to the firebender, not even if he lived or died. For all we know the firebender in question could be Mako, although from what he keeps jabbering into my ear right now I'd say that was a very bad guess. Right now, I'm conflicted on whether to look for the firebender or Kailee.

Let me know what you think we should do. I'll find you with Naga when I can.

Avatar Korra

"I know the Avatar?" they asked in unison, and then looked at each other. "She knows what happened that night? Wait, you know what happened that night?!"

"You-you're the one, aren't you?" Kailee asked Iroh worriedly, "You're the firebender who she was talking about, aren't you?"

"I don't know," he tapped gravely. "I can't remember anything except my name, remember? If this hawk found me, then I must have known the Avatar. But why would she send me such a coded letter that I can't solve?"

"Maybe you did know just what it was talking about before you lost your memories," Kailee murmured, and Iroh put his hand on her cheek to kiss her yet again.

And yet again they were interrupted.


So many interruptions! Don't worry, they'll kiss soon!
