It's been weeks. It's been weeks since Aang got struck by Azula and was revived. It's been hard seeing him lay in bed and not moving, but he's breathing and he's alive.

After the incident in Ba Sing Se and watching it get captured by the Fire Nation, the team, my mother, and I flew to Chameleon Bay where we found Hakoda and the other Water Tribe Men. Ruka was relieved to be back with her tribe and Hakoda was glad to know his best warrior was safe. The Earth King and Bosco decided to go off on there own adventure together in disguise so they are gone. Unfortunately, Chameleon Bay was overrun by the Fire Nation so instead of attacking we fled and stole one of their ships. So, what are we doing now?

We were sailing on a Fire Nation ship in disguises and are traveling West. We've seen a few other Fire Navy ships but they haven't bothered us.

In the last few weeks, Sapphire hasn't been contacting me as much. Ever since the fight at Ba Sing Se and I grew my fire wings, she's only contacted me twice. The day after I got my wings, my hair changed and it now has red ombré at the bottom of it. Sapphire spoke to me about how Aang came back to life and she told me some shocking news.

I revived him. My tears brought him back to life, because I have the ability to heal the sick and injured. Katara's water from the North Pole helped by awakening his Avatar spirit, but I brought him back to life.

I revived the Avatar. That's big.

Every night, I visit Aang and just sit there hoping he would wake up. I miss him so much, it's killing me and not a day goes by that I don't see him. Everyone wants him to wake up and be okay, but I'm the worst one.

I just love him so much.

Night had fallen on the Fire Navy ship and everyone was asleep, except for me. I stood on the edge of the deck and stared out at the ocean below us. The beautiful moon reflected off the water and it made the water shine, stunningly.

I leaned on the edge of the boat and sighed.

There goes my heart beating
'Cause you are the reason
I'm losing my sleep
Please come back now
There goes my mind racing
And you are the reason
That I'm still breathing
I'm hopeless now

I stood up straight and put my hands to my chest.

I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken
Oh, 'cause I need you to see
That you are the reason

I looked down at my hands and felt tears escape my gold orbs.

There goes my hand shaking
And you are the reason
My heart keeps bleeding
I need you now

I looked up at the moon that dazzled the night sky and smiled softly.

If I could turn back the clock
I'd make sure the light defeated the dark
I'd spend every hour, of every day
Keeping you safe
And I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken

I grabbed the edge of the ship and hopped onto it. I placed my hands on my chest and blinked my tears away.

Oh, 'cause I need you to see
That you are the reason, oh
I don't wanna fight no more
I don't wanna hurt no more
I don't wanna cry no more
Come back, I need you to hold me closer now
You are the reason, oh
Just a little closer now
Come a little closer now
I need you to hold me tonight
