The saber-toothed-moose-lion stormed toward Sokka – and Aang disappeared.
Sokka couldn't believe it. The depth of betrayal he felt as Aang flew into the air onto a rock a safe distance away – leaving Sokka to be trampled –
This, above all, was testimony to how much Aang's confidence had been shaken.
But as the moose-lion approached, Aang appeared, hitting it away with a gust of air and standing in front of Sokka.
"Please don't leave me again," whimpered Sokka, helpless.
"I won't." Now, Aang's voice was determined; Sokka watched him stand firm against the charging beast.
There might be hope after all.
