Chapter 10

Now that Aang has two water-bender teachers and the rare fire-bending lessons, we are now on the hunt for an earth-bending teacher for him. "Why don't we go back to King Bumi? He might be able to teach you." Katara suggested as she watched Aang steer Appa. "Yeah, that's a great idea! Thanks, Katara!" Aang smiled big as he blocked Katara's ice that shot at him.

"I'm sure he'd be glad to help you."

I spoke as I shot a fireball at him followed by a big ice shard, he blocked them using his water whip. Sokka floated around the water on his back relaxing. He drifted near our training area so I bent a current to drift him away. "Hey, I thought we agreed on not bending on me!" He whined. "Yes buuuut you got too close to our training lesson." I then bent a water whip that turned into ice at the end, our families move. Aang blocked it.

We were about to do more but we heard music nearby progressively getting louder. We got out of the water and watched them approach us as they kept singing. We dried ourselves off quickly and greeted the small group. "Hello, who are you guys?" Aang greeted with a smile. They introduced themselves to the group as Sokka made a couple of snarky comments.

The guy took out his instrument and began to strum, his friends joining in. He then began to sing. Sokka slammed his hand onto his face to express his annoyance.

"Two lovers, forbidden from one another. A war divides their people, and a mountain divides them apart. Built a path to be together.

Yeah, and I forgot the next couple of lines but uh, then it goes...

SECRET TUNNEL
SECRET TUNNEL

Through the mountain, secret, secret, secret, secret, secret tunnel, secret tunnel. Through the mountain, secret, secret, secret, secret tunnel yeah."

"Yeah yeah great song and all but we need to get to Omashu." Sokka waved his hand not caring.

"I say we should go that way." I suggested.

"It's just a song, it's not a real-"

Sokka was cut off by Chong. "Oh, it's real all right." Aang looked at me not convinced. "Appa doesn't like going underground." Katara stood up from leaning against Appa. "Aang it's the only choice we have, think of it like a shortcut." She smiled.

"So.. in order to get through the labyrinth we need to believe in love?"

I asked looking at Chong. He nodded with his never-ending smile as he and his group began to walk into the cave. "Well, then we'll get through just fine. Because I love my family." I smiled bringing my siblings into a group hug. "If this is a way to make me not annoyed....it's working." Sokka mumbled. We then entered the cave eager to get to Omashu.

We've been walking for hours trying to search for a way out. A wolf bat came flying out of the dark and was attacking us. Sokka waved the torch in its face trying to scare it off. I bent fire and threw at it, it dodged it and flew off. It knocked the torch out of Sokka's hand which landed on Appa's foot. This sent him into a state of panic as he ran around, I tried calming him down but it didn't work.

He ran into the rock wall making it break, and big chunks of rock began to fall. Aang air bent a gust of wind to knock me, Sokka, Chong, and his friends out of the way. The only issue was that we landed on the other side of the collapsed wall.
