Present day
"Iskra wake up."
Iskra stirred in her sleep, groaning as she rubbed her eyes and sat up slowly. Aang, Katara and Teo stood before her, eager for her to wake.
"What's wrong? Is everyone okay?" She asked, jumping up.
"No, we just wanted to see if your okay and ask if you want to come see a part of the temple that hasn't been touched yet," Teo said quickly.
Iskra chuckled slightly at his rush. "I'm okay now, just needed to lie down."
"Will you come with us?" Katara smiled.
"I'll come with you guys."
"Alright let's go," Aang grabbed her hand, dragging her behind him.
They walked back into the temple, following Teo as he led them towards the untouched door.
Iskra felt uneasy, her stomach twisting in pain. However she kept a straight posture, walking carefully behind her friends.
"I can't believe I'm finally going to see what's inside," Teo said once they approached the door.
Iskra could feel multiple objects on the other side; large ones that didn't feel like anything the monks would own. Aang circled his hands, bending air into the required holes; making them turn and the doors slowly creaked open.
Inside where monstrous weapons and deadly objects covered in a red aura. The centre of the room was occupied by a large war balloon with a fire nation insignia on it. Nothing was how the monks would have left it.
"This is a nightmare," Aang says softly.
"You don't understand," Teos father appears behind them, Sokka standing next to him.
"You're making weapons for the fire nation!" Aang turned to face him.
"You make weapons for the fire nation?" Sokka asks with frustration.
Teos father stayed quiet, looking at the ground with guilt. Iskra grimaced, remembrance of a situation just like this becoming all too familiar. She let her guard down, she should've looked into him more instead of think about; him.
"Explain all this, now!" Teo demanded.
"It was about a year after we moved here, fire nation soldiers found our settlement. You were too young to remember this Teo. They were going to destroy everything, burn it to the ground. I pleaded with them, begged them to spare us. They asked what I had to offer, I offered my services, you must understand I did this for you," He explained but Teo turned away from him.
With slumped shoulders he accepted defeat, walking away from them with practical daggers going into his back from their eyes.
"We need to leave, if he has all these weapons here someones going to collect them, the fire nation is going to come here," Iskra says once he left.
"We can't just let him give the fire nation more weapons," Aang reasons.
"What are we supposed to do then? They'll burn this place to the ground if he doesn't," Iskra wanted to help but she wanted her friends to stay safe and she didn't want to see the fire nation, not now.
"Let them come, they won't be able to burn this place to the ground, we'll stop them," Aang walks away, Teo following him.
"Iskra what's wrong, your always ready to fight," Katara asked.
