Chapter 2: A New Journey

...But how can you rescue the Avatar? You're alone, wounded, and a big target.

If you got caught, it would be over... For good.

But, during the time you were recovering in the igloo, you relapsed with yourself.

You realized that you running from the Fire Nation, would make you no better than them. You'd be selfish, and you'd live with the burden of others' suffering.

The Fire Nation wants to take over the world, and now that the Avatar is back, you had all the more reason to try and stop them.

Y/N: "...I should find Sokka and Katara." You elucidate to yourself with a slight limp in each of your steps.

Your wounds did feel better from the proper treatment you received from Katara, but, you didn't get enough rest.

You make your way to the shore, more precisely the southern part, where you find Katara standing at the edge with Sokka behind her, carrying a pack.

Katara: "We have to go after that ship, Sokka. Aang saved our tribe, now we have to save him."

Sokka: "Katara, I-"

Y/N: "Without me?" You interrupt, making the siblings turn to you.

Katara: "O-Oh-! Y/N!" Katara turns from the edge of the shore.

Y/N: "I guess I didn't help either." You sarcastically mention, causing Katara to fumble with her words and wave her hands in her face.

Katara: "N-No! I-I was just saying-! I mean, you helped, just as much as Aang! Actually, more! Y-You helped mo-"

Y/N: "Relax, I'm just teasing."

Katara physically looks drained as she drops her head down, her face beet red.

You walk over to her brother, Sokka, and stick out your hand for him to shake.

Y/N: "You got a pair. Standing up to the Fire Nation like that. I respect you."

The boy beams and grabs your hand, shaking it with a firm grip. "Nice to meet you Y/N. Though, I didn't need your help." The brown-skinned boy boasts.

Y/N: "You got a pair, but you're lacking a bit up here." You heckle while pointing to your temple.

Sokka pulls his hand away. "Whatever." He scoffs.

Katara walks up to you. "So Y/N, you really wanna come?" You nod. "But," The girl starts. "You're still severely hurt... It could get worse if you don't rest for at least a week."

Y/N: "I'll be fine," You reassure. "This is the Avatar we're talking about."

Katara solemnly nods. "How old are you?" She asks with a quizzical expression on her face.

Y/N: "Fourteen."

Katara's cheekbones gain a small red hue. "Me too-!"

Sokka: "Are you guys gonna talk all day, or are you comin' with me?" Sokka gestures to a canoe floating in the water. Katara immediately grins and gasps in happiness.

"Sokka!" Katara shouts as she runs over to her brother and entraps him in a tight hug.

Sokka: "Get in, we're gonna save your boyfriend."

You raise your eyebrow.

Katara: "He's not my-!"

???: "What do you think you're doing?"

You and the other two twirl around, and spot an elder tribe woman with white hair. You noticed Sokka and Katara trying to look as innocent as possible.

Katara: "Gran Gran! We were just-!"
