"Why did you let them take, Appa, why didn't you stop them?!" Aang shouted angrily.

"I couldn't the Library was sinking you guys were still inside and-" Toph tried to explain but Aang cut her walking towards her.

"You could have come to get us, I could have saved him!" Aang shouted.

"I can hardly feel any vibrations out here. The sand benders snuck up on me and there wasn't time for-" Toph tried to say but he cut her again

"You just didn't care, you never liked Appa you wanted him gone!" Aang shouted angrily.

"Aang, stop it!" Katara said placing her hand on his shoulder. "You know Toph did all she could, she saved our lives,"

"Who's gonna save our lives now? We'll never make it out of here!" Sokka said.

"That's all of you guys care about, yourselves. Only Iris was different, if she were here we could-" Aang shouted but Sokka cut him.

"Well, Iris isn't here, okay?!" Sokka exclaimed angrily "I'm sure everyone misses her wants her here, but she's not. None of us can replace her and none of us will try to! Stop making guesses, we need to find a way to get out of here!" he reasoned.

"I'm going to find Appa, I can't lose him too!" Aang said determinedly and he opened his glider and he started flying away.

"We better start walking, we're the only people who know about the Solar Eclipse, we have to get that information to Ba Sing Se," Katara said and she started walking away.

"You think if we dig out the giant owl he'll give us a ride?"

She knew that the wound he had at his chest was bad, but it wasn't that bad so he would wince in every stone the ostrich-horse stepped on. The old man's overreaction had started getting annoying. Only Zuko and Iroh rode on the ostrich-horse, Iris was just walking alongside them. Zuko couldn't get more annoying in asking her every second to get on the ostrich-horse from him instead.

"Maybe we should make camp," Zuko suggested.

"No, please don't stop just for me," Iroh said and he continued wincing.

Zuko looked down at Iris who was walking along the ostrich-horse "Are you sure you don't want to ride on the ostrich-horse for some minutes? I can walk there's no problem for me to walk for a-" he tried to say but she cut him wrapping his hand while she walked.

"Zuko, for the hundredth time, I'm fine, okay? I've walked a thousand miles by feet a few more won't be a problem," Iris said taking her hand back and she continued walking.

Iroh's fake winces couldn't get more annoying and Zuko forcefully pulled back the reins stopping the ostrich-horse. Iroh got off and Iris helped the old man walk towards one of the stones as to sit down. Zuko got off the ostrich-horse as well. Until they heard some rumbling and something approaching.

"What now?" Iroh said wearily.

Zuko and Iris got in their stances and pressed their backs together waiting cautiously to see who it was. The Rough Rhinos... of course, Iris thought rolling her eyes.

"Colonel Mongke, what a pleasant surprise," Iroh said waking up.

"If you're surprised we're, then the Dragon of the West has lost a few steps," The General said and then he looked at Iris "I'm surprised to see the Earth Kingdom Assassin with the Fire Prince,"
