MEILUNA STARED UP at the blue expanse over her head, watching the sun rise as it replaced her sister in the sky. It seemed like the stars were out just moments ago. She rubbed her eyes, feeling the strain in trying to keep them open. It almost felt impossible for her to get any sleep.
She couldn't help but wonder whether she made the right decision to leave the Northern Water Tribe to travel with the Avatar. In the moment, she felt so sure that this was her destiny, to help play her part in ending the war. Ending her tribe's suffering. But her father's disapproval weighed heavily on her mind. Was she so incredibly selfish to leave her only remaining family behind?
She wished so dearly that Yue could talk to her. Tell her what to do. Guide her. Meiluna spent the late hours of the night wondering whether her decision was worth the expense of her father's happiness. How was she ever supposed to sleep peacefully when she was reminded of her guilt every minute she was away from her home?
"What are you doing in my mouth?" Sokka yelled angrily.
Meiluna sat up, watching him spit out a spider web that covered his mouth.
"Momo, you need to be a little more sensitive to my boundaries"
Momo completely ignored Sokka's comment, climbing on to his face with his ears perked up, chattering loudly, causing Katara to wake up.
Meiluna suddenly felt the ground shake beneath her, she turned to where Momo was looking and saw three men riding atop rhinos, approaching the group.
"Give up! You're completely surrounded!" One man shouted as he looked over their campsite.
Meiluna hardly had the energy to deal with these intruders, stifling a yawn as she stood up. She quickly ran over to Appa, where Aang already sat, before being joined by Sokka who had crawled over in his sleeping bag.
Katara was about to make her way over when one of the men spun his weapon, planting it in the spot where she previously slept.
"My scrolls!" Katara cried out.
"My staff!" Aang said in shock as he instantly jumped off Appa's head.
Katara charged at the man with a water whip, freezing his blade to the trunk of the tree, giving her the chance to grab her scrolls before rushing back to Appa.
