MOON

Avatar Roku / I Am Tsukkio, Daughter of the Moon Spirit (Winter Solstice pt 2)

Aang jumped on the reigns of Appa. I can tell Aang was still hesitant to let my siblings and I on this dangerous ride to get to the Fire Temple. Then Aang looked at Sokka, Katara, and I like he was going to ignore us and let Appa fly off. The three of us stood in front of Appa, stopping him from pushing forward.

"The more time we waste trying to stop you from going, the more time we lose of getting you to that temple, so I suggest you let us hop on Appa!" I stared into the eyes of Aang.

"We're not letting you go into the Fire Nation, Aang!" Katara said as her eyes

"At least not without your friends, we got your back!" Sokka smiled. "EWWWWW!"

Appa licked Sokka, which I'm confused about why Sokka hasn't gotten used to Appa's love. Appa then nuzzles his head next to me, causing me to laugh at the tickle sensation I was getting from the big fluffy ball. I let Appa's fluffy cheek, and once done, I went to the back of Appa. I got on the saddle and placed my things down along with Sokka and Katara getting comfortable on the seat for the long ride ahead of us. The chief of the Senlin Village gave Aang a parcel for the things we will need on our journey. After that, Sokka, Aang, Katara, and I waved goodbye to the villagers and thanking them for everything they have given us.

It has been hours since we have been in the sky, and the sun is entirely up in the air. White clouds floated above us as Appa was flying kind of slow, and he might be tired. It was kind of boring as I simply took a small piece of a cloud and started bending the water to pass the time. I moved my hand gently, watching the stream of the cloud follow my moves. I noticed Katara was studying my every move as it was quiet on the way to the Fire Temple until Aang groaned.

"Come on, boy! We've got a long way to go! Faster!" Aang said to Appa as Appa pumped his tail up then down as he was flying a little faster than before.

Something felt funny with the water. The vibrations coming from the ocean below Appa was having a very distorted wave pattern. I hung on the end of the saddle, which caught the attention of Sokka and Katara.

"What's the wrong, Tsukkio?" Sokka questioned.

"Do you sense something with your unique waterbending abilities?" Katara said, being petty again.

"Yes, I do, and something is going wrong," I ignored Katara again.

I moved my hand, causing the clouds to break apart to reveal the familiar warship sailing the waters. It was a Fire Nation boat. It's not just any Fire Nation boat; it was Zuko's Fire Nation boat.

"Aang, we got trouble!" Katara exclaimed over at Aang.

"Yeah, and it's gaining fast!" Sokka shouted over his shoulders.

"Guys prepare yourself because we don't have to only deal with Zuko's boat," I turned my head to the front of Appa.

"What do you mean, Tsukkio?" Aang asked me with worry.

"I mean there's a fleet of Fire Nation ships that are going to block our chances of getting to that Fire Temple,"

Iroh

"Sailing into Fire Nation waters ... of all the foolish things you have done in your 16 years, Prince Zuko, this is the most foolish!" I voiced my concern and frustration with my young nephew.

"I have no choice, Uncle," Zuko explained to me, looking through the telescope to search for the Avatar and the Waterbender.

Zuko, you do have a choice, but you have chosen to go after those two. Zuko, why don't you turn back and wait for them to fly over the Earth Kingdom waters to capture the Avatar and the Waterbender?
