“Remember to be on your best behavior.” Katara told the kids while they waited outside sejak the pond for Zuko, Mai, and Jin. Toshiro played with Momo.
“You know anda can trust me, Mom.” Haruki told his mother.
“Try to have some fun this time.” Katara told her son, kneeling down on the floor so their eyes were level and putting her hands on his shoulders. “I don’t want anda to just watch your cousins have fun, I want anda to have fun too.”
“Mom, anda and I both know there’s no time for fun when there’s a war going on.” Haruki told his mother seriously
“Kya’s almost of warrior age but she knows to have some fun.” berkata Suki
“You’re still a kid,” berkata Sokka, “How about having fun like a kid while anda still can? anda know, play games, run around, anything.”
Haruki looked away from his family, sulking.
“Fine.”
“Hi everyone!” yelled Jin, running outside, a big smile on her face.
“Hi, Jin.” berkata Sokka, accepting a hug from the young girl, “How are you?”
“I’m fine.” Answered Jin, “Mom and Dad will be out here in a few minutes.”
“I don’t need a few minutes,” berkata a voice, “I’m here.”
“Hi, Zuko,” Sokka and Zuko grasped arms.
“I’m sorry Toph couldn’t make it,” berkata Katara, hugging Zuko, “She’s having troubles at home.”
“Her parents still don’t understand that she’s perfectly capable of taking care of herself.” berkata Sokka, “They keep offering to take care of Rikiya for her.”
“Well I’m glad the three of anda could make it. The meeting will be set up in an hour. In the mean time I need to talk to anda privately.”
“Kids, why don’t anda go explore the palace for a bit?” suggested Katara
“Yeah, we get it,” berkata Kya, taking Toshiro’s hand and walking away, “You guys wanna be alone.”
She and the other kids walked away from the adults and into the palace. Jin led them to her room. Haruki watched Toshiro and Jin play with Momo while Kya laid on Jin’s bed, deep in thought.
“I wonder what this meeting is supposed to be about.” berkata Kya
“It’s about the war.” berkata Jin, “My dad’s been pretty paranoid about it.”
“Too bad we can’t go to the meeting.” berkata Toshiro
“Or maybe we can.” berkata Kya, sitting up, an idea popping in her head.
“No, we can’t.” berkata Jin, “We’re underage.”
“We can just sneak in.” berkata Kya
“Bad idea.” berkata Haruki
“Oh, Haruki.” berkata Toshiro, annoyed, “Learn to have some fun for once. So how should we sneak in?” he added, looking at Kya.
“We’ll go into the takhta room where the meeting is before everybody goes in and hide behind something. This way we can hear what’s going on.”
“Sounds good to me.” berkata Toshiro, smiling.
Haruki hesitated then shrugged, “Eh, why not? I just want to know whose winning.”
“Jin?” asked Kya, looking towards the silent princess
“What if we get caught?” asked Jin, “I don’t want him to get really mad at me.”
“I promise anda we won’t get caught. Mom taught me about stealth and how to be quiet and sneaky and everything. We’ll be fine as long as we stay well hidden and we don’t make a sound. We can’t even breathe loudly either!”
Haruki, Jin, Kya, and Toshiro hid behind separate pillars in the takhta room. In the middle of the room was a meja, jadual where the admirals, war ministers, and generals of the api, kebakaran Nation and Earth Kingdom sat. Zuko sat in his takhta while Sokka, Katara, and Suki sat at the end of the meja, jadual in front of Zuko. On the meja, jadual was a map of the Earth Kingdom. A general from the Earth Kingdom was giving his lapor to Zuko.
“The Chikara Army still has control over some parts of the Earth Kingdom here,” he pointed somewhere on the map, “Here,” he pointed again at another location, “And here. They’ve started to try taking over Omashu. They may succeed since their army is growing and we’re becoming lebih outnumbered.”
“What do anda suggest we do?”
“I suggest putting up lebih security in the Earth Kingdom where there are no benders. Ba Sing Se and Omashu are completely inhabited with earthbenders but they could use some lebih help. Perhaps have some waterbenders and firebenders help with the security.”
“Katara,” berkata Zuko, looking at her, “What do anda think of that suggestion?”
“I agree with the general’s suggestion,” berkata Katara, “As long as some waterbenders stay in the North Pole to protect their tribe. If the Avatar was born in the North Pole he atau she may need some protection.”
“You don’t believe that the Avatar was born in the South Pole?”
“There weren’t any children in our tribe born the hari Avatar Aang died and some of us searched all over and did not find any newborns.”
“Forgive me but how do we know that there is a new Avatar?” asked a api, kebakaran nation admiral, “How do we know the cycle didn’t end?”
“The Avatar wasn’t in the Avatar State when he died,” Zuko answered, glaring at the admiral that spoke out of turn, “If he died while in the Avatar State the cycle would be broken.”
The admiral remained silent after Zuko berkata this.
“Katara, Sokka, you’ve been Friends with the last Avatar longer, if the new Avatar is in the North Pole, what do anda suggest we do?”
“I think maybe we should send a message to the Northern Water Tribe,” berkata Sokka, “Ask them if the Avatar is in their city and tell them they need to protect him atau her.”
At that moment, a servant ran into the takhta room. She ran to his takhta and bowed deeply.
“Please forgive me, api, kebakaran Lord Zuko,” she said, looking distressed, “But it’s an emergency.”
“A message came from the leader of the Chikara Army.”
Sanosuke sat on the floor in his house, absentmindedly practicing his waterbending using a bowl of water. Khalil, a family friend and Sanosuke’s teacher, supervised him as he did this.
“Very good, Sanosuke,” berkata Khalil, “I’d say in a few years you’ll become a master.”
Sanosuke sighed and stopped bending.
“Is something bothering you?” asked Khalil.
“I haven’t heard from my father in two weeks, Khalil.” berkata Sanosuke, sadly, “Do anda think he’s all right?”
“You must remember, Sanosuke,” Khalil sat down in front of Sanosuke, “Your father is fighting in the war. He may be dealing with something right now.”
“I know,” Sanosuke looked at his reflection in the bowl of water, “It’s just that he promised he would send me a message at least once a week.”
“Just be patient, I’m sure he is fine.”
The eight-year-old boy smiled at Khalil and continued his bending.
“You know anda can trust me, Mom.” Haruki told his mother.
“Try to have some fun this time.” Katara told her son, kneeling down on the floor so their eyes were level and putting her hands on his shoulders. “I don’t want anda to just watch your cousins have fun, I want anda to have fun too.”
“Mom, anda and I both know there’s no time for fun when there’s a war going on.” Haruki told his mother seriously
“Kya’s almost of warrior age but she knows to have some fun.” berkata Suki

Haruki looked away from his family, sulking.
“Fine.”
