After flying for hours Appa struggled, the weight of everyone and his thick armour forced them to walk the rest of the way. When Iskra tried to get off Appa she was stopped, being told she was too weak to walk.
She felt pathetic. She just destroyed armies of the fire nation and yet she was struggling to walk.
"This is humiliating," Katara said lowly.
"Do you mean getting thoroughly spanked by the fire nation, or having to walk all the way to the Westin air Temple?" Sokka asked.
"Both."
"Sorry guys, but Appa gets tired carrying all these people," Aang patted him gently.
"I wonder how the rest of the troops are," Teo thought out loud.
"They're probably on their way to a prison. Seems like my dad just got out, now he's going back in," Haru sighed.
Iskra was ready to wipe out the entire fire nation in order to avoid going back to prison when Hakoda stated that not everyone would make it and Bato afterwards said that the adults would stay behind. Fortunately, she was considered young.
"I miss pipsqueak," The duke added.
"I miss not having blisters on my feet," Sokka groaned.
"Hey we're here, I can feel it," Toph spoke suddenly.
Iskra sat up quickly, growing at the pain but more so because there was nothing there. Just the edge of a cliff.
"I think your feet need their eyes checked," Katara said.
"No she's right, we are here," Aang smiled.
Everyone was confused, there was nothing in front or around them. They all began climbing onto Appa by Aangs order, promising they were here.
Appa flew off the cliff, turning around to reveal the western air temple; upside down buildings off the cliff side. Hidden and beautiful.
Once they landed by a fountain of water everyone jumped off, eager to relax or explore. Haru recognised Iskra; offering her a smile as he bent down to pick her up.
Iskra appreciated the gesture, holding onto his neck as he carried her bridal style off of Appa, placing her next to the water so Katara could heal.
"It's so different from the Northern Air Temple. I wonder if it has any secret rooms," Teo thought out loud, again.
"Let's go check it out," Haru, The duke and Teo all ran off to explore.
Aang began to run after them, eager to explore as well but Katara stopped him, calling his name out.
"Aang we need to talk," She said.
"Why can't I go?" Aang asked, walking towards them.
Iskra unbuttoned the shirt she found, taking it off to reveal her white tank and the many scars and burns across her body. Katara gasped, trying to offer her a smile as if it wasn't that bad. It was no use, Iskra knew it was bad.
"We need to decide what we're gonna do now, and since you're the avatar, maybe you should be a part of this," Sokka explained.
Katara bended her water, attaching it to Iskra's wounds and beginning to heal the many scars. They'd never fully heal though, at least not mentally.
