Wanting to be loved (Zuko)

8.

We reached our next location 'The earth kingdom city of Omashu. I used to always come here to visit my friend Bumi.' Aang said 'Wow, its big' I said 'We don't have cities like this on the South Pole' Katara said. 'They have buildings that don't melt' Sokka said, well that's logic if you ask me. 'Now come on the real fun is inside the city' Aang said as he jumped down.

'Wait Aang you'll need a disguise so people don't find out you're the avatar' Katara said and she has a point 'What should I do, grow a moustache?' Aang said as a joked. But then he really had a moustache and hair on his head from Appa, it looked ridicules and I couldn't keep my laughter. 'I came back at the right time' I said almost laying on the ground 'It's not funny Miku' Aang said with a little voice but it really is.

Then he walked away and we followed him. We were almost at the gate when Aang said that the people in Omashu were the friendliest on earth but then a guard was yelling at a man with a cart full of cabbages and the cabbages were send flying. Okay really nice people. 'What is your business?!' asked a guard when he held a large rock over Aang's head. Aang began rambling like an old man and told the man that we are his grandchildren. He told Katara and me to watch over our grandfather and Sokka had to carry Aang's bag.

When we stood in front of the wall it opened up and then two more walls opened up. This is top security is you ask me no wonder the fire nation didn't get a hold of the city they couldn't even get in. We walked through the gates and came inside the city that looked even more amazing up close. Aang is explaining the transporting system and how it works. It's amazing how easy it makes transporting and that all thanks to earth bending.

We just fitted with the four of us 'One ride then were off to the North Pole' Aang says as we dangle at the top of the so called slide, I'm so not going to like this. Just as Katara is saying she had second thoughts we take off Katara and me both screaming at the top of our longs and grabbing each other tightly.

Suddenly a cart with spears is behind us and Aang takes us of the track and we land on a rooftop and then we were back on the track 'Aang do something! Use your air bending!' 'Great idea Katara that will makes us go even faster!' Great Katara, brilliant idea I think as we go even faster and I hold on to Sokka, which is the only part of this I don't mind. Another cart came in front of us and we hit it and send us flying in the air luckily Aang used his air bending to get us back in the cart but now we were sliding from rooftop to rooftop even through houses and finally we land on the cart with cabbages.
Guards already coming our way. We were brought to see the king who will judge us. 'Throw them.... A feast' he said with a smile and nobody seemed to understand his actions but everything better then to end up in a cell, again.

So then the feast began and all sorts of delicious food stood in front of us. The king was telling some lame jokes and then he throws chicken to Aang and he caught it with air bending immediately revealing who he is. 'There is an air bender in our presence and not just any air bender but the avatar!' the king says and the guards and other people in the room gasp. This made my day even better. Aang tries to get us away with some goofy talk but the guards held us back.

'Tomorrow the avatar will face three deathly challenges but for now see them to their chambers' the king and a guard got confused about the chamber but they figured it out and now were sitting on our beds. 'We have to find a way out of here' Sokka said. 'The air vents!' Aang said 'You think we fit in there?' 'No we don't Sokka but Momo can. Momo you have to get out of here and find Appa and come to save us.' Aang picks up Momo and tries to push him through an air vent but Momo eat a little too much and now he can't fit through the air vent. We all laid down and got ready to sleep.

In the middle of the night I wake up from sounds of earth bending but before I could warn anyone someone hold his hand against my mouth. I tried to struggle when they took us somewhere but the guard was to strong. Suddenly the wall went open and there was Aang, the guard grabs my hand and puts some sort of ring around my finger that instantly got smaller so I couldn't get it off. The king explains its creeping crystal and by nightfall Sokka, Katara and I will be covered in it if Aang doesn't complete his tasks.

The first tasks was a key hanging in the middle of a waterfall and Aang had to get it. The first attempts fail but then he gets it. The next one he has to bring the kings pet Floppsy to him. And for the last one he has to fight and he chooses the king as his opponent which wasn't the best choice he made seeing as the king was a great earth bender. But Aang did win but seeing as the king is a little weird he now has to guess the name of the king and then he releases us which would be great because it was around my whole body besides my face.

Aang began to think and then he knew the answer. It turns out that the king was Aang's old friend Bumi. He got us out of the stone and it was just rock candy and nothing deadly, we could have known. 'Before we leave I have a challenge for you' Aang says to Bumi with a big grin on his face. They went sliding the transport system. 'Well, at least we don't have to join him this time' I say to Sokka and he put an arm around my shoulders. 'You're right if he made us do that again I think I would have killed him' Sokka said with relief. I smiled at him it was nice that he puts his arm around me but I know that it didn't mean anything to him but it was still nice.
