Luz the Last Airbender

Book 3 Chapter 1 The Awakening

The two kiss. Lai exits, and Lilith stays there with an expression of relief on her face. We return to the ship where Team Avatar is on. Luz is awake once again. She sits in front of Amity, also sitting, surrounded by Gus, Willow, Eda, Camila and Boscha. Appa rests behind them. Luz receives a robe to cover her.

“Why are we on a Fire Nation ship? Why is everyone dressed this way? And why am I the only one who's completely out of it?” Luz asked (Luz and Amity are left alone.)

“You need to take it easy, okay? You got hurt pretty bad.” (Smiling at her.) “I like how long your hair is now.” Amity said

“I have longer hair?” (Feels it.) “How long was I out?” Luz asked

“A few weeks.” Amity said

“Everything okay?” Hakoda asked

(Looking away, annoyed. Annoyed tone.) “We're fine, Hakoda.” Amity said

(To Luz.) “I'm Hakoda, Gus’ father.” (Luz moves to shake his outstretched hand.)

(Placing her hands on Luz's shoulders stopping her.) “She knows who you are. I just said your name, didn't I?” Amity asked

“I guess you're right.” Hakoda said

(Removing Amity's hand, she shakes Hakoda's hand.) “Nice to officially meet you, Chief Hakoda.” Luz said

“It's an honor to meet you.” Hakoda said

“Great, great, so now you guys have finally met. So would you mind giving us a little privacy?” Amity asked

“Of course.” Hakoda said (Walks away.)

“Are you mad at Gus’ dad or something?” Luz asked (Amity looks at Hakoda leave with an expression of annoyance on her face.)

(Confused look.) “What, not at all. Why would you say that?” Amity asked

Luz shrugs and murmurs as if to say "I don't know." but gasps in pain.

“Maybe we should go upstairs.” (Helping Luz up.) “You need a healing session. Eda, gonna need your help.” Amity said

“Coming.” Eda said

Back in Luz's room on the ship. Eda bends some water onto the scar left by Kikimora's lightning attack.

“Tell me where the pain feels most intense.” Eda said

“Mmm, a little higher. Uhhh!” Luz said

Luz briefly flashes back to the battle at Old Ba Sing Se where she rose into the Avatar State, then back to reality.

“Are you okay, Luz?” Amity asked

“Wow, you're definitely in the right area there.” Luz said

“I can feel a lot of energy twisted up around there.” (Begins to remove the water.) “Let me just see if I can-” Eda didn’t finish

As Eda bends the water from Luz's scar, she suddenly jerks backward and again flashes back to the battle at Old Ba Sing Se, to the moment where she was shot by Kikimora's lightning. The flashback scene then changes to Amity tearfully looking over Luz, looking comatose, flying on top of Appa as they flee Ba Sing Se. After that, she snaps back to reality.

“I went down! I didn't just get hurt, did I? It was worse than that. I was gone! But I was brought back.” Luz said

“I just used the spirit water from the North Pole. I don't know what I did exactly.” Eda said

(Turning to look at her.) “You saved me.” Luz said

(Placing a hand on the side of her face.) “You need to rest.” Amity said
