Fire Burns and Ice Freeze

The Blue Spirit

Zuko, Iroh and I were sitting on the deck talking when the captain walks over to us.

"We haven't been able to pick up the Avatar's trail since the storm, but if we continue heading northeast..." the captain trails off

A large fire nation ship pulls up next to us.

"What do they want?" Zuko asked

"Perhaps, a sporting game of Pai Sho!" Iroh said

"Can I go hide in Zuko's room. I really don't want to deal with him, I still don't feel back to my normal self." I said

"I think it's too late for that." Zuko said

The soldiers walk on to deck.

"The hunt for the Avatar has been given prime importance. All information regarding the Avatar must be reported directly to Admiral Zhao." the soldier said

Zhao has been promoted? Well, good for him!" Iroh said

Iroh makes a move in his Pai Sho game, another player slaps his hand against his own forehead as if he has lost. I shake my head.

"(Zuko looks down) I've got nothing to report to Admiral Zhao. Now get off my ship and let us pass." Zuko said

"Admiral Zhao is not allowing ships in or out of this area." the soldier said

"Off my ship!" Zuko yells

I look down at Iroh's game to see that he has once again won.

"Excellent! I take the pot! But you're all improving. I'm certain you will win if we play again." Iroh said

The soldier leaves. I turn and look at Zuko.

"I bet you anything the Avatar is the area." I said

"I bet your right." Iroh said

"I'm always right." I said

Zuko grabbed my hand and dragged me down to his room. We entered, his room he closed and locked his door. I sat down on his bed. He started pacing back and forth.

"Nothing ever good happens when you start to pace." I said

Zuko glared at me. I stood up and moved over to him. I put my hands on his head.

"Stop. Breath. Now tell me what is going on in that head of yours." I said

"I'm thinking of a way to get to the Avatar without Zhao finding out." Zuko said

"Good luck with that." I said

I sat back down on his bed. I laid down and looked up at the ceiling. Zuko continued to pace.

"Please stop your giving me a headache." I said

Zuko walked out of the room. AS I looked up at the ceiling I started to think. If Aang was really in the area then so was Katara and Sokka. I needed them to know that I was okay. I could leave long enough to tell them and come back. I would wait and leave after Zuko left, the only difficult part would be to be back by the time he gets back.

Zuko had just left the ship. I waited a few seconds before quickly getting off the ship and walking into the swamp looking jungle. I was walking deeper into the area. I heard a twig snap I turned around and saw nothing. I counted walking but was prepared in case something happened. A twig snapped again I turned around and fired a blast of fire in the direction, I didn't get the chance to turn around because someone hit me on the head.

When I came to my head hurt. I heard two people talking I knew both of their voices. The two voices belonged to Aang and Zhao.
