They land at the meeting spot and Sokka gets off and runs towards the boats excitedly.
Then he falters slowing down.
Fya frowns and Toph gets off after him.
Tevin carries Aang and Fya hangs back with Appa and Momo. She remembers all too well what happened with Bato and she's wary General Anyhu gets off of Appa.
The prince will survive Fuliane he has to.
I hope so sir Fya says softly.
The man puts a hand on her shoulder and smiles.
Sokka comes over with a stocky tanned man with long hair in braids he's wearing an open water tribe parka for warm weather.
Then he says to Fya I'm told I have you to thank for the avatar surviving ...
yes sir I'm Fuliane Fya says but most call me Fya.
He holds out his hand. I'm Hackoda chief of the southern water tribe.
Fya takes his hand at the forearm and shakes it. And you are?
I'm General Anyhu of the 41st division officially in support of prince Zuko.
Hackoda holds out his hand. My son told me about the situation the general shakes his hand.
You stood up against the firelord anyone who does that has my respect. Hackoda says...
general Anyhu's face breaks into a smile. Where is this mysterious prince I've heard so much about?
Fya's face falls. He stayed behind she says finally he's likely on the way to the fire nation her hand goes into a fist.
They'll keep him in the tower. The tower? General Anyhu nods.
Fya walks away from the group to think.
Come the chief says we must discuss what happened to my daughter.
Sokka sighs and he follows them.
Fya sits by herself above the water her eyes are shut and tears pour from her eyes as she draws the sand up from the earth and it creates little beads of colored glass that hit the water ...unknown to her many of the water tribe warriors stop to stare.
About an hour passes before general Anyhu sees the water tribe boy again.
He goes over to him. Sokka isn't it?
Yeah...your friend we'll miss Fuliane - Fya yes. You should see this.
Uh ok...Sokka's eyes widen and he runs and grabs Toph. Whose eyes widen.
Whoa...I...I see color she whispers not in someway you do she whispers but ...I've never seen anything like it.
Seen? Toph has semantic sense like badger moles Sokka explains quietly she's a really really talented earth bender.
I'm sure the general says.
At that Fya opens her eyes and the glass begins to sink into the water she stands up and raises an eyebrow then her eyes widen when she sees someone watching the camp from afar.
She begins to run towards the figure.
Sokka and General Anyhu follow.
Uncle! Hello dear he says accepting her embrace. Is my nephew here?
Fya's face falls and she looks down. Azula tried to kill Aang Fya says softly he...he held her off and the avatar?
Lives thanks to her Sokka says.
Sir what will happen to him? General Iroh and General Anyhu exchange a look.
I'm not sure uncle says but he will not be killed. Old man! Toph goes to him smiling. Hello miss Toph.
