The kids around me look like they are about to cry and I smile at them. "But this story has a happy ending, I promise but why don't we save it for later?" I ask them and they all start to whine.

"At least tell us what happened to the brother and sister?!" One little girl calls out as they're parents come over and sit down to listen.

I look around at everyone to see their eyes are on me. "Alright then." I answer before I begin to pace back and forth. "It was hard for the two after that, with their parents gone they were to live with the the other people on the island so my brother could continue to learn to bend. It wasn't for a few years till he was pushed over the edge and he ran away from home in the middle of a storm. He had to much responsibility on his shoulders and the only answer he saw was to run away. And so I ran after him. The storm was strong. He left the island and I followed. The waters were rough and hard to fight. He headed south while I headed north. But I did not know and so we were separated each of us at either ends of the world both of us knocked unconscious by a huge wave and found by people of the opposite water tribes.

"I was taught how to bend while waiting for my brother to find me, praying to the moon and sea to bring my brother to me. And one day he came. By the time he found me I had made a place for myself as a battle planner for the North quickly following in my fathers foot steps. Only a few days after my brother arrived the Fire Nation came searching for the Avatar. The fight was long and the losses where many. A Fire Nation General managed to kill the moon spirit darkening the moon but our Princess saved us. For she had been touched by the spirits, given life, and so she returned it and joined the moon in the sky." I explain as I look over all of the face. Some are in awe others look like they are about to cry. "By the end of it all the Avatar saved us all and the Fire Nation fled the Northern Water tribe. I traveled with my brother for a little while before leaving him to find some where safe to stay realizing I was not meant to stay with him and his friends as they traveled to try and do good." I finish as I stop in front of everyone. The only sound is the waves crashing against the sides of the boat and the wind.

"Why are you going to Ba Sing Sa?" One person asks and I look over at them.

"I'm tired of the fighting I just want to find somewhere safe to live and hopefully find love." I offer and he rolls his eyes. "My words might sound like those of a child but that is what I look for. Even in the darkest of times there is light."

"How can you not be mad at the Fire Nation?" A little boy asks and I sit down where I stand.

"Because to let your anger control you is like letting your enemy control you. They can use it against you and it, in the end, could get you killed." I offer. Everyone starts to talk a little and I look over at Zuko to see he's watching me in awe. A door to our left slams open and I stand up. Everyone scatters back to their original spot.

A few men come out with bowls and pass out the food but when they hand it over I can't help but recoil at the stench coming up from it. The men retreat down into the ship again and close the door behind them. "Mama I don't want it. It smells bad." One kids whines. "It tastes bad." Another pipes up.

"Oh hush you all, it's all we've got, would you rather starve." An old man snaps. All the kids bow they're heads and speak no more. I look over at my back before I get up.

I walk over to Iroh and smile as I bend down and open my bag to reveal three loaves of bread. I pull one out of my bag as I slip my dagger out of its sheath. I cut about two inches off and hand the small piece to Iroh then walk of to the next group and the next cutting each person a piece of bread till I need to go back and get more. All the kids are bouncing up and down watching me closely almost drooling from the mouth and the adults talk softly murmuring to each other. As I walk around and hand out more bread I receive 'thank yous' from the parents as they either break theirs in half and hand it to their children or begin to eat.

When I finish handing out bread I'm all out and have nothing for myself but just shrug it off and walk back over to Iroh and Zuko who has a new friend. As I approach they both nod their heads and the stranger walks off. I look over at Zuko to see him watching me. "Here this is yours." I offer him the last slice as I finally reach him.

"No you eat it you'll need it." He informs me before walking off.

I turn and watch him go. "Where's he going?" I ask Iroh over my shoulder.

"I have no idea." He states.

I turn around and look at him. "Really?"

"What?" He asks and I shake my head before I sit down and stare down at the last slice of bread. I don't want it, heck I'm not even hungry so I set it aside next to Iroh who smiles at me before he eats it in one bite. Before I know it I'm leaning against the side of the boat and falling fast asleep to the sound of the water and the rocking of the boat soothing me into a dreamless sleep.
