Anya: Do you think anyone actually reads these things?

Me: I don't know, but they're fun for me to write.

Anya: Oh, well keep doing it I guess.

When they flew back to Air Temple Island, the first thing Anya did was consult Jinora about her plan.

"It could work." Jinora said. "But do you think Korra will go along with it?"

"I've gone alone with two of her plans." Anya replied. "I think she trusts me enough."

Later that day, after Korra returned home, Anya knocked on the door.

"Come in!" Korra said through the door.

Anya opened the door and walked in. "Hey, where were you all day?"

"Asami got back from a business trip today, so I spent some time with her." Korra replied.

"Oh." Anya said. Everyone knew that Korra and Asami were in a relationship, and everyone accepted it. It was normal.

"Do you want a seaweed cookie? Korra asked.

"Sure." Anya answered.

Korra smiled and gave her the snack. "So what's up?"

"I have a plan to take down Zaion." Anya replied.

"That's great!" Korra exclaimed. "What is it?"

"Well...." Anya started, "you have control over your spiritual side now, right?"

Korra nodded.

"And Aang exists inside you?"

Korra nodded again.

"Has anyone ever tried to contact him?"

This shocked Korra a little. "No, I'm the only one who has ever talked to his spirit."

"Do you think it would work?" Anya asked.

"I don't know," Korra started, "but....."

"But what?"

"I've been feeling weird lately." Korra answered. "It's almost as if Aang wants me to fight back."

"Well, if Aang wants to talk to me, he would, right?"

"We can try." Korra decided. "Not now though. Tomorrow."

The following day, Anya, Korra, Jinora, and Tenzin went to The Healing Isles.

"This place is amazing." Jinora commented.

"It's practically the heart of spiritual energy." Anya replied. "If there's anywhere that Aang will talk to us, it's here."

The four all sat down and began to meditate, Korra trying to pull Aang from within her.

They tried for hours, but nothing.

"I'll be back." Tenzin said, standing. "You all continue."

Tenzin walked away towards the mountain, and a few minutes later, Anya felt that she wasn't in The Healing Isles anymore. She opened her eyes to see that she was in a jungle. Jinora was next to her, but Korra was nowhere to be found.

"Do you think it worked?" Anya asked.

"I would think so." Jinora said, pointing.

In front of the two was a man with a semi-familiar face. His blue arrow tattoo stood out from the traditional brown airbender robes he was wearing.

"Avatar Aang." Anya said in shock.

Aang chuckled. "Please, call me Grandfather. No need to be so formal with family."

"Hello Grandfather." Jinora greeted.

"Ah, Jinora." Aang started. "Still as beautiful and bright as ever. But you seem to have grown since the last time I saw you."

"Grandfather, we need your help." Anya said.

"Ah, in taking down your stepfather." Aang replied.

Anya felt her cheeks heat up. "You know about that?"

"I know about everything that's happened to you." Aang explained. "That's why I sent the animals and spirits to help guide and protect you."

"We were wondering if you could help when we invade The Outsiders main base." Jinora said. "To have you, as well as other spirits,  help make sure nothing horrible happens."

"And maybe knock a couple of heads?" Anya added. "We don't want to seriously hurt anyone, just make sure that we're able to get to Zaion."

Aang chuckled. "You're definitely my granddaughter. I will call some old friends of mine. Three days from now, we'll be ready."

"Thank you so much." Jinora said, bowing.

Everything started to fade, and soon the two girls were opening their eyes to find Korra sitting how they left her.

"We made contact." Anya said.

Korra opened her eyes. "Yeah, I felt it. What'd he say?"

"That he'd be ready in three days." Jinora answered.

At that moment, Tenzin started walking back towards the girls.

"So it's settled then." Korra said. "In three days, we attack."

Me: Hey guys, as of right now I'm supposed to be writing the next chapter, but I'm having writer's block.

Anya: What do you mean? You're about to write the attack, isn't that the most exciting part?

Me: I was thinking about having the characters do something domestic first. A calm before the storm, you know?

Anya: Oh. Well why don't you have us spend a while at the Healing Isles?

Me: I'll think about it. Please comment if you enjoyed!

EDIT: Hey guys! I've been having some writer's block so I've decided to hold off on posting until after summer vacation. Sorry if this inconveniences you, but I think this little break will be good. Thanks for understanding!
