LOCATION: Somewhere in a nearby lake

A new day had started as the beautiful sunrise peeked above the tall, rocky cliffs. On a nearby lake, the group had made a campsite on the shore, where Appa was chewing on some grass while Sokka was still sleeping in a blue sleeping bag next to their campfire as smoke rose up to the sky, which had gone out a while ago. Godzilla, on the other hand, was somewhat aware of their surroundings, using his senses to search for anything that he might consider a danger to them.

Meanwhile, Aang sat on Appa's head and was checking the knots that tied the reins to the bison's horns to make sure that they were well-secured, while Katara was sitting on the saddle as she was fiddling with their luggage.

"Wait 'til you see it, Katara! The Air Temple is one of the most beautiful places in the world!" Aang replied in a cheerful tone.

"Aang, I know you're excited..." Katara cautiously said as she turned to the boy, "But it's been a hundred years since you've been home."

Godzilla, who had heard the duo's conversation, began to intervene, "To think that I'm surprised that you were inside of an iceberg for a century, I possibly thought that you had been aged for so long."

During their travel, the saurian was totally stunned when he was told by the Avatar that he was frozen inside an iceberg for a hundred years, which was very surprising for him that a human could survive that long without aging or getting frozen to death, just like how most Titans possessed the ability to survive with an extensive lifespan, spanning over millions of years of their lifelong survival, unless subjected to extreme violence that pushed them to near death.

"However, I have to admit that Katara is right. In my world, numerous changes had passed me by during many years of my existence." Godzilla looked over the horizon and continued, "My previous life had vanished as a new one came over it, and I had nothing to do but adapt to it."

"I know." Aang said with understanding, but he wasn't deterred by the saurian's statement, "But I need to see it for myself."

After finishing with the reins, Aang lightly jumped off of Appa's head before landing softly on the ground by using his airbending. Then he ran past Godzilla and walked over to a snoring Sokka, who was lying in his sleeping bag.

"Wake up, Sokka!" Aang said cheerfully, "Air Temple, here we come!"

"Ugh!" Sokka just groaned tiredly, wanting to sleep for a little longer, as he rolled onto his side with his eyes open and grunted, "Sleep now, temple later."

Then the young warrior closed his eyes once again and resumed snoring, while the Avatar narrowed his eyes at the teen.

Godzilla looked up at Katara, who could only shrug at her older brother's antics. Then the saurian suddenly had an idea, as he thought of something that would get Sokka up. He marched past Aang and stared at Sokka's sleeping form, knowing how to snap him out of his rest. The Ocean Colossus began to enhale deeply and let out a loud roar that seemed to shake the air itself.

And with that, Aang and Katara had to cover their ears from the roar, which caused the nearby animals and birds to flee away in fright while Sokka yelled out in surprise as he immediately rose from his sleeping bag while releasing ragged breaths after hearing the intense roar, causing Godzilla to grunt in approval that his idea worked.

"Great! You're awake!" Aang smiled happily, while the teen turned to the Titan Alpha and gave him a look of utter indignation.

"Y-YOU ALMOST GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK!" Sokka screamed as he clutched his chest; his heart was beating faster from fright.
