"Commander Zhao, here is the intelligence report about the Avatar." A firenation soldier announces as he enters the quarters of the commander. The porkchop beard sporting firenation commander takes the scroll from his subordinate in a rather rude fashion; he opens the scroll and reads the inscription.

"Multiple sightings of a scarred man and bald monk around the south seas, that scarred man must be Prince Zuko, and the bald monk; the Avatar. What is he doing aligning himself with the Avatar?" Zhao says thinking out loud, the soldier that has yet to be dismissed questions him.

"Could it be that Prince Zuko is deceiving the avatar, trying to get him to trust him before attempting to capture him?" the soldier questions.

"I doubt that would be the case. That prince has no honor, and would fit him to be a traitor. Are there any reports of their movements, projected courses or locations?" Zhao asks, the soldier snaps to attention before responding.

"No sir. The only thing we have is the last location of the sighting, a small fishing village off the coast of the earth kingdom continent." The soldier says pointing to a location on the map spread across the table.

"That is Bei-fong City, it was named after the alleged avatar Jun Bei Fong that was killed by Firelord Azulan 17 years ago. Are their any islands that would be within distance of boats or that have any ports?"

"No sir, but the reports say that they are not traveling by boat, the distances traveled will take weeks and or months to travel."

"You are dismissed. It seems the Avatar is a master at deception and evasion."

Somewhere over the southern arctic seas.

"You really have no idea where we're going do you?" Sokka asks, Zuko is leaned back against the side of the saddle sleeping and Katara is patching a hole in Sokka's pants.

"Well I know it's near water." Aang says, despite them being over the open ocean with water for miles and miles around.

"Well we must be close." Sokka says sarcastically. "What are we even doing out here anyways?"

"Well, I wanted to go ride the elephant koi fish, then we will head to the north pole to get Katara and Zuko a waterbending teacher." Aang replies, "Hey Momo, marbles." Aang says causing the lemur to lunge into his tunic and search for a pair of glass marbles before handing them to Aang.

"Hey Katara, Katara look." Aang says before spinning the marbles in his hand using air bending.

"That's great Aang." She replies not even looking up from what she is doing.

"You're not even looking."

"You're doing great Aang." She says again after looking at him.

"But I'm not even doing it." He replies slightly saddened.

"Aang, don't distract the girl from her sewing." Sokka scolds, causing Katara to turn and face him.

"What does sewing have to do with me being a girl?" She asks in an offended tone.

"Look, men are better at hunting, fishing, and fighting while girls are better at sewing." Katara sneers at her brother before taking the needle out from his pants.

"Here's your pants Sokka, I just fixed that hole for you." She says throwing it at him.

"Wait Katara! I can't wear these! I was only kidding." He protests.

"You probably should know how to sew, it could save your life and your dignity one day." Zuko says not bothering to open his eyes.

"What would prince fussy britches know about sewing." Sokka questions with his hand through the hole of the pants Katara threw at him.
