"Hey, look: a sword made out of whale's tooth," Aang said as Iris came walking beside him. He had picked it up and when Sokka approached he wrapped it in his hands saying...
"Let me see that,"
"It's a Water Tribe sword," Iris said resting her hands on her waist.
"This is a Water Tribe weapon," Sokka said.
"Yeah, I believe I just said that," Iris said looking blankly at him.
"See if you can find anything else," Sokka said. They all walked around trying to find something else as Sokka had told them so.
Iris found some burns on a tree. There must have been a battle around that spot they were. "Did someone, lose something?" Katara asked.
"No, we found something," Aang said.
Iris turned around only to see Sokka picking from the ground a burned arrow. "There was a fight here, with Fire Nation soldiers," She said.
"It's burned," Sokka said examining the arrow.
"Water Tribe warriors ambushed a group of Fire Benders," Iris said examining the burns and the scratches on the tree.
"The Fire Benders fought back but the warriors drove the battle down this hill," Sokka said and he stared running, following the trails with the other three following from behind. They finally reached the shore where the sea rested some meters away.
"So then what happened?" Aang asked.
"I don't know, the trail ends here," Sokka said sadly.
"No, it's not, there's a boat over there," Iris said pointing on the right side of the shore.
"It's one of our boats!" Sokka said excitedly. The two Water Tribe siblings ran towards it and they seemed to have recognized it.
"Is this dad's boat?" Katara asked.
"No, but it's from his fleet, dad was here!" Sokka said smiling widely at his sister.

"See, Prince Zuko, a moment of quiet is good for your mental well-being," Iroh said pouring some tea in Zuko's cup.
"He called her 'sister'!" Zuko said.
"I can't understand why you're still stuck in that. Maybe she's the Avatar's sister, makes perfect sense," Iroh said tired of hearing the same thing all the time.
"You don't understand; if she really is his sister she must be the Defender," Zuko said crossing his arms.
"Didn't you hear them mentioning it?" Iroh asked taking a sip from his tea.
"They did?" Zuko asked.
"Yup," Iroh said. "But I still don't understand why you're upset with that," he said indifferently. "You need to calm down your nerves, take a sip from your tea, it will help you," he instructed.
Zuko sighed and he tried to lift the cup to his mouth. But the ship shook by something and the tea spilled all over his face. He groaned irritated and he walked on deck to check what caused that shake. He was surprised to see a giant Shirshu with a woman riding it.
"Get, back! We're after a stowaway!" The woman shouted.
"There are no stowaways on my ship," Zuko said.
The Shirshu bit the metallic floor of the deck and cut a piece. It spat it away as a man came from below deck and he tried to run away. But before he was able to escape the Shirshu's big tongue hit him behind his neck paralyzing him and making him fall down unable to move.
