Chapter 1

Katara opened her eyes, groaning as she did so- she felt tired and sore, and was hot and her eyes felt gritty. She gently rubbed the feeling out of her eyes as well as...sand? What in the world was sand doing around my eyes, she wondered.

Finally she looked around her. There was sand, just so much sand; she was in the desert or a desert like area. She saw someone she wasn't expecting to see very near her. The form of her enemy in the body of an angry teen lay just a few feet from her, and next to him his uncle.

Both were unconscious. The angry teen was on his side and a surprisingly peaceful expression was on his usually anger marred face. His uncle was on his back and looked like he was in pain from what she could tell from where she was still laying.

Katara pushed herself all the way up so she was standing, she stretched and dusted herself off.

She pondered, what now? What happened for us three to end up here, together, like this? She couldn't remember.

Suddenly she thought she heard something in the distance-an angry shout . She jumped over to Zuko and his uncle and said harshly just above a whisper, "Hey, get up! Someone's coming!"

Zuko's eyes snap open and he looks startled and angry, always on edge. His eyes widen when he recognizes her and opens his mouth to shout, but she interrupts him , ''Not now, someone's coming and they sound angry, we can sort of be at ends after we face whatever's coming our way,okay? please!''

Iroh's voice suddenly fills their immediate area, "That seems wise nephew, we can figure our stuff out later, let's face whatever is coming together, first!''

Zuko narrowed his eyes slightly, nodding before getting up and dusting himself off before turning to his uncle and helping to his feet so they are all at least slightly ready for whatever is coming their way.

Katara sighed in slight relief, grateful for not having to fight off the angry firebending teen that's chasing her and her friends at the same time as an unknown enemy.

Finally a form burst from beyond her line of sight,actually multiple on foot. As they got a little closer, Katara could see it was 3 big men,wearing neutral colors in basic tunic n pant styles of clothes.

Their hair was dark and scruffy looking. One had gold eyes that was a typical fire nation trait, the other two had brown eyes from the best Katara could tell.

Her, Zuko,and Iroh settled into stances showing they were ready for whatever may come. Katara was glad there was some water still in her water pouch that was on her hip. She unscrewed the top and coated her other hand in what water was in the pouch and secured the lid again.

The men were finally just a few yards away, tense and menacing expressions on their faces. It was now a stare off for a good few seconds.

Suddenly, the two brown eyed guys both made weird motions with their hands and the sand started shifting and loosening from underneath her, Zuko,and Iroh's feet. They all managed to save their balance and made their moves in turn. Iroh punched several quick fierce fire blasts at them and the golden eyed man just waved them away, growling, and sent a wall of fire back at them.

With a shout Zuko raised both of his arms above his head and slightly in front of him then he swept them down and behind him, managing to split the wall and fizzle it out.

Katara formed a water whip and lashed it out quick and harsh at the fire bender, effectively interrupting him from his next attack. He reacts by bring up a wall of fire as a sort of a shield. Iroh and Zuko both then hit him from different angles with several fierce fire blasts and fireballs which pierce through his personal fire shield, so to speak. Katara then closely follows their attack with some rapidly flung ice discs,nicking his arms and hands and catching him off guard as he starts to prepare to send what Katara imagined would have been a big fire blast.

Angered now, the fire bender send a few short blasts at Katara which she met with a water wall which effectively took them out. What Katara wasn't prepared for is that the fire bender consumed her water wall that was still standing in a larger firewall and anything that was possibly left of her water wall was steamed away.

He grinned at her directly as he knew he had done away with her fighting source.

Everything then sorta paused as everyone had seen what he had done for Katara and what that meant for her.

Zuko and Iroh slowly came to stand next to, but slightly in front of Katara, all eyes still trained on their enemy, waiting tensely.

The fire bender guy barked at the two sand benders." Do it now!"

Katara, Zuko, and Iroh tensed and set into defensive stances as they weren't sure of what was about to happen.

The sand benders came up on either side of the fire bender, one made a raising motion with both hands before sharply overturning them and doing a vice grip motion.

Katara Zuko,and Iroh all jolted and tried to keep their balance as sand covered and wrapped around their feet tightly, sinking them slightly and holding them bound in place.

Zuko and Iroh both threw fire blasts but they were easily waved away by the fire bender who laughed at them.

The other sand bender started rotating his arms in a circular motion wide and low as if stirring or spinning something. Suddenly sand began to pick up around the sand-stuck trio and swirl around them. His rotating slightly went higher and higher and as he did so did the swirling sand which was turning into their own personal sand tornado prison

It was now so thick and high they couldn't see their enemies on the other side.

Suddenly, a blast of sound was heard and seconds later a blast of fire was forced through the sand tornado and hit Iroh in the chest/torso. Their feet were suddenly freed and Iroh fell down instantly from both impact and sudden lack of vice grip sand helping him stay upright.

Katara and Zuko were down at Iroh's side instantly.

They heard the fire bender tell one of the sand benders "keep this going for another moment then come on. They are as good as dead out here, I took out the water bender's water source and we know one of them is injured."

Iroh had been burned pretty badly. The smell of burnt flesh and fabric stung in the air surrounding them.

Zuko grimaced at the sight of his uncle's wound as he remembered full well how a raw bad burn felt,thanks to Ozai.

Katara knew they had to do something soon.

Shutting her eyes she prayed to every spirit and god she had heard of and to any she didn't know the name of that may be listening too. "Please hear my prayers! Please send me water so I can heal Iroh! He is wounded badly,and the sooner I can heal him the better his chances are! Please, I come to you in a humble way seeking help!"

She opened her eyes and saw Zuko sitting next to his uncle and keeping an eye over him while he tried to rest. She also looked past them and noticed the sand tornado was gone along with their attackers.

Suddenly the sky directly above them darkened slightly,as if in complete shade. They all look up and see a very low cloud. So low that it seemed actually a bit odd to see.

Katara felt a shift in the air and looked up to see rain falling from the cloud straight for them. A small wave of relief over her.

Before she could gather enough water to cover her hand in a glove of healing water for healing Iroh, the water started rising and collecting around them which should be impossible to happen without it being bended by a water bender because of where they were. Whats going on? Katara wondered.

The water continued to pour from the mysterious cloud and started to form small waves around suddenly Katara felt like a pull akin to the connection she has to her element. Then a wave crashed over all three of them out of nowhere.

Next thing she knows is they are still drenched with water but the weird water and cloud in the desert and the desert for that matter were gone.

She looked at at her two companions. Iroh and Zuko were both next to her and coughing a bit and catching their breathes,looking stunned.

Katara looked around and saw that there were in the woods,but the woods weren't like any she'd ever seen. The plants and trees were different. Where in the world are we? And how did we even end up here? She couldn't help but wonder.

Suddenly a girl burst from the brush infront of them.

She appeared to be quite young,younger than Aang,even.

She looks at us with concern on her face as she said , ''Hi , I felt the pull of magic and I think I heard you land here in the woods not far from us.''

She looked us over quickly and as she was doing so she saw Iroh groan and grimace as he tried to adjust into a better sitting position. She ran to him instantly, asking,'' Are you hurt, sir?", as she brought a small but beautiful glass bottle from a small leather bag secured on a soft belt on her waist.

Katara answered first. '' He was burned very badly by a rogue firebender that attacked us in the desert."

The girl's eyebrows drew up in confusion, "Firebender? Oh, you can tell me your story after I heal his wound first."

The girl knelt down beside Iroh as she unstoppered her bottle, and asked, "Open your mouth, please. It only takes a drop!"

Iroh didn't question it nor did anyone else, and so opened his mouth to receive a single shimmering drop of the liquid.

He felt a soothing warmth over take him as it worked its magical healing. Katara walked up to them and gently peeled away the charred bit of fabric that was now barely sticking to where the nasty wound beneath it lay. She gasped. It was entirely healed! Better than her best work,even.

She eyed the girl, curiosity getting the best of her, " How were you able to do that? What'S in that bottle of yours?"

The girl smiled and replied brightly, '' Its the juice of the fire flower, it has magical healing properties. All it takes is one drop. Its helped me save many lives since I was gifted it."

Zuko asked his uncle, "How are you feeling,Uncle?"

Iroh smiled brightly at his nephew and then to Katara and the girl, " I feel brand new! That stuff is wonderful! Thank you,my dear."

The girl couldn't help but smile in return as she said " You are very welcome."

She stood and placed the bottle back in its pouch on her hip and lightly dusted her dress off. ''Now lets go, I'd like you to meet the others and then we can tell each other our stories."

"Others?", Katara asked.

The girl smiled as she responded simply , " Yes,you'll see."

Katara and Zuko both turned back to Iroh to offer him a hand up and to their pleasant surprise he was already standing.

Iroh smiled at Katara,Zuko,and Lucy before saying, "Shall we? Lead the way!"

The girl's smile brightened then she turned to the direction she appeared from and started walking.

The trio followed her,looking casually at the greenery as they went.

Many trees seemed similar to those from their world,other were quite different and interesting looking. The interesting looking ones were a beautiful bushy type tree of sorts and was actually sort of pretty.

Katara asked her, "What is this tree called? I've never seen this kind of tree before," as they came to a quite large tree of the type in question.

The girl looked up at the big beautiful tree in question before saying, " Oh,that's a Fir tree. Its a type of Christmas tree. They smell good,too."

Katara and Zuko and Iroh all had a slight confused look on their faces. "Christmas? Whats that?", Katara asked.

The girl looked stunned for a few seconds before saying, " I will explain that later as well. I cant believe you don't know about Christmas! A shame,really."

Katara nodded,satisfied in the answer for now. Then she leaned in and took a sniff of the Fir tree that the girl had just told them that it had a pleasant smell.

"It does smell good!" she said then turned to her two companions from her world and told them, "She is right,it smells really good. You have to see for yourselves!"

Zuko and Iroh both leaned in and gave the tree a fair sniff and they both smiled and nodded in agreement.

The young girl who had found them watched,looking pleased the entire time. Satisfied they were done she started to continue the way she was taking them,saying " Come on,you three,it's not much further."

After a few more turns,and a few more beautiful Fir trees in the mix , the wood opened slightly to green grass up ahead that stretched to a big hill,where a magnificent structure stood atop. It came across as both grand and old from what could be glimpsed at a distance. It also seemed to be where they were headed.

Katara couldn't help but be curious. " Whoa,whats that place on top of that hill?", she asked with a bit of awe in her voice.

The girl's face lit up with happiness as she answered, " That our home. That castle- its called Cair Paravel."

"Really? It's incredible!," Katara replied.

She confirmed, " Yes."

Iroh spoke up, " What magnificent architecture, from what I can see from here..."

Zuko said as they started to get closer and could see it a bit better " I like the stonework."

Now they were almost entirely across the vast field and had to crane their necks slightly to look up at the grand structure known as Cair Paravel up on its hill.

The young and bright girl led them toward one side of the hill,where they soon saw a small subtle foot path up the gentler side of the hill up to the flat top that hosted the castle.

Once they reached the top, she led them to a pair of huge solid wooden doors at the top of a few stone stairs. As she opened the door, she turned back to them and said, " Come on , you must meet the others,and I'm sure you would very much like some food and to relax while we exchange our stories!"

The trio behind her smiled,nodding in confirmation.
