Chapter 25

(Feel free time comment)

(Ok so I like anime... that's why they make cameos)

Word count 5419 words

(Y/n) POV

"Ok how about this one?" I asked holding up my drawing of Appa.

Sokka studied my work before nodding, "It's good, what about mine?" He asked showing me his beautiful drawing.

"It's perfect!" I cheered, "Just like him"

Katara and Aang then walked inside, "We found a printer to make our posters!" She smiled as Aang held up a lost Appa poster with a very detailed drawing we didn't make.

"Hey, I thought designing the lost Appa poster was our job. I've been working all day on my Appa!"

"Same!" We both held up our drawings as the two looked at us like we were crazy, and Katara badly tried to suppress a laugh. 

Aang raised a brow, "Sokka, the arrow is on Appa's head"

"This is his head" he pointed to the drawing.

"Isn't it obvious?" I chuckled.

Katara took the drawing, "Why are feet coming out of it?"

"Those are his horns" Sokka snapped the drawing back into his hands.

"We haven't seen him in a while, okay?" I sighed.

"It looks just like him to me!" Toph spoke up.

Sokka smiled, "Thank you, I worked really-Why do you feel the need to do that?" He sighed.

"Let's just stick with the professional version" Katara told us making my eye twitch.

"Uh... (Y/n)?" Sokka snapped me back into reality as I realized I turned the drawing to ash.

"Shit! Sorry!"

Aang shrugged it off and handed us all a stack of posters, "Come on, let's get busy!"

I smiled, "Great! I'll take care of the Lower Ring"

The four all smirked, "So you can see Lee?"

"Maybe~" I chuckled, "Why?"

"No it's perfect! We can all go together!" Aang smiled, "Maybe he can help us"

"Yeah! We should!" Katara began to grin, "We can finally meet the boy who was able to worm his way into my big sister's heart"

I began to blush before remembering who it was, "Uh you guys-"

"Yeah! I'd like to meet him too," Toph shot up. "Lover-girl's finally calmed down ever since she met him"

"Plus I'd like to give the brotherly talk to him" Sokka smirked.

"What's the 'Brotherly talk'?" Katara raised a brow.

"You know... The whole I will kill you if you harm my sister speech" he explained as I stepped in.

"Yeah that's not gonna happen" I shook my head.

"Yeah, like anyone could feel threatened by Sokka" Katara and Toph laughed making Sokka glare at us.

"Not what I meant, but true," I snickered. "I'm talking about you all meeting Lee, that's not happening" I explained grabbing my bag and cloak, before slipping the paper inside.

"Excuse me? Why not?" Katara asked looking hurt.

"Because, I don't want to ruin this," I rolled my eyes putting my cloak on. "Yes, he knows I'm travelling with the Avatar, but I don't want him to-" I stopped myself.

"Him to what?" Aang asked.

I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding, "I just... I just don't wanna ruin this... please just don't follow me" I sighed before leaving the house.

—————

"See ya later Denki and Eijirou" I waved goodbye to the two men who usually push the train to and from the Upper Ring.

"You're here earlier than usual" Denki chuckled.

"I guess you and Lee have become more then dance partners now, huh?" Eijirou smirked wiggling his eyebrows.

I playfully rolled my eyes, "Nope. Just putting up posters to find my missing bison," I handed them one. "Have you seen him?"

They shook their heads, "Nope"

"I wish! Look at this thing! Look at the horns!"

I chuckled, "He's even more magnificent in person"

They smiled, "If we learn anything we will tell you immediately"

"Thanks guys" I smiled.

"We'll have fun with Lee, (Y/n)!" They laughed.

"Thanks guys!" I yelled walking down the stairs as they left.

I knew Zuko wouldn't be waiting for me, considering it's not our usual meeting time. So I'll put up some flyers before stopping by for a cup of tea.

That afternoon was simple I'll say. I went around to shops and random walls and put up my posters. I still think mine would've been better, but screw my art style.

After I only had one poster left I decided to pop into get some tea... and see Zuko.

When I walked in I actually ran into Zuko making us both fall backwards.

"Hey! Watch where you're goi- (Y/n)? What are you doing here?" He jumped to his feet.

"Internally bleeding, you?" I chuckled as he held his hand out for me.

I took it and got to my feet, "No what are you really doing here?" He asked again but this time more composed.

I handed him a flyer, "Remember me telling you about Appa?"

"Yeah?" He took it and studied it.

"Well he's still missing, so we made posters to look for him" I shrugged.

"... Thanks. I'll have it hung up in our shop" he frowned.

I raised a brow, "Is everything ok?"

"Sure..."

"You wanna talk about it?" I calmly asked.

"No"

"Oh. Um ok.... well I uh, I'll see you tonight then?" I bit my lip.

"Yeah... sure"

And with that I walked away. What happened? I knew I should've stayed longer, but it's not right to pry information out of someone. Maybe tonight he'll want to talk about it. Yeah. We'll talk about it tonight.

—————

I walked home and saw a giant hole in our house, "I was gone for an hour. I was gone for an hour!" I yelled as my family walked outside.

"Uh... hey (Y/n)" Aang embarrassingly chuckled.

I snapped my head to them, "Do I really wanna know what happened?"

"No. You don't" Toph shook her head.

————

"We'll split up to cover more area. Toph, I guess you should just come with me" Sokka told her as we hung up more posters.

"Why? Because you think I can't put up posters on my own?!" She angrily spat taking the paintbrush of glue from Sokka and threw glue on the wall before slamming a poster on it, but it is backwards, "It's upside-down, isn't it? I'll just go with Sokka" she sighed walking away with him.

"Hey... (Y/n)?" I looked to my side to see Aang looking kinda sad, "Can we talk?"

I put my posters down, "Sure, is everything ok?"

He sighed, "I was wondering why you didn't want us to meet Lee... is it because of me?"

This took me by surprise. It did make me think back to what I did say that morning. Maybe I was a little too harsh, "Aang that's not what I meant"

"Then why did you stop yourself from talking when you mentioned meeting... me?"

I didn't want to tell him. He would be heartbroken if he found out.

"It's because I'm the Avatar isn't it?"

"What?! No!" .....Yes.

"Are you sure? Then why did you-"

"Aang," I cut him off placing my hand on his shoulder. "This is something I can't really explain. Do I want you guys to meet him, of course I do... but I just.. can't," I sighed. "It's completed"

"You said he's a refugee, right?"

"Uh... yeah. He is"

"He's from the Fire Nation isn't he?"

"What?" My eyes widened.

"That's it isn't it!" He smiled, "You met a boy who's from the Fire Nation and you're scared we won't accept him!"

I gave him a face of pure shock, "Uhhh...."

"It's true then? He's from the Fire Nation! You're just scared we won't like him! (Y/n) you don't need to worry about it!" He jumped.

"R-really?"

"(Y/n) I don't care who you are seeing, as long as you're happy! You've been taking care of us for months, you deserve to be happy too! Heck! If you want Lee could join our gaang! We need more strength anyways!" He grinned ear to ear.

"Bu-wai-really?" I asked baffled.

"(Y/n) you deserve to be happy! No matter who the person is!"

I bit my lip, "What if that person was the banished Fire Prince?"

He chuckled, "(Y/n) you could be dating a platypus-bear and I wouldn't care"

I smiled thinking, 'Could Zuko join us?'

"But what if the others don't accept... Lee?"

"I'll make them learn to!" He promised, "Airbender's promise" he crossed his heart.

"Ok," I sighed holding my necklace tight to my chest. "I'll let you guys meet him"

"Yes!" He jumped ten feet into the air before coming down.

We then heard Katara gasp, followed by a loud bang, "Katara!" I screamed running after her.

Sokka met with me as I ran, "What happened?" He shouted

"No clue!"

We ran to an alley to see Katara bending ice down the way, "Katara, what is it?" Sokka ran to her.

Katara glared at the back of the ally, "Jet's back"

I gasped seeing him stuck to the wall, "No...."

"We can't trust anything Jet says" she told us.

"Yeah! No shit!" I spat.

"Why is he even here?!" Sokka flailed his arms before pulling me behind him.

"I don't care why he's here, whatever the reason is, it can't be good!" She told us.

"I'm here to help you find Appa!" He told us.

I glared at him. I thought the Dai Lee took him away? What's he doing back here?

"Katara, (Y/n) we have to give him a chance" Aang told us.

"HE TRIED TO KILL (Y/N)/ME!" My brother, sister and I all yelled at the Avatar.

"I swear, I've changed! I was a troubled person and I let my anger get out of control, but I don't even have the gang now! I've put all that behind me!" Jet told us.

"You're lying!" Katara spat.

"Yeah! You attack Lee and I weeks ago!" I glared at him.

"Wait, you knew he was here?!?" Katara and Sokka gasped.

"Yeah," I crossed my arms. "He's how I met Lee, he attack us out of nowhere because we're both Firebend-" I gasped covering my mouth.

Fuck!

"Wait.. Lee's a FIREBENDER?!" Katara and Sokka gasped.

I sighed, "Maybe..." I rubbed my arm.

"Maybe always means yes in that tone," Katara frowned. "You taught us that"

"Is that why you don't want us to meet him? Because he's from the Fire Nation?" Sokka calmly asked.

I bit my lip looking down, "I knew you guys wouldn't understand... I shouldn't of told you about him"

"(Y/n).. it's ok" Katara

"Ok now is not the time to get all mushy gushy about (Y/n) dating the enemy, we've got this attempted murder to deal with" Sokka glared at us.

"Guys I swear I've changed!" Jet pleaded with us.

"Shut up you lying treehugger!" I spat.

Toph walked up to him and placed her hand on the wall, "He's not lying"

"Are you sure?" Sokka asked.

"I can feel his breathing and heartbeat. When people lie, there's a physical reaction. He's telling the truth"

Aang looked to us, "(Y/n), Katara, we don't have any leads. If Jet says he can take us to Appa, we have to check it out"

"I have my fans opened and prepared to strike, got that? One step out of line, one little slip up.. and you'll be able to see your parents again" I glared at him opening my fans.

Katara sighed, "We're not letting you out of our sight"

As she let him go from his ice prison my family pushed me far away from him before all pulling out their weapons to protect me.

"Thanks Sokka" I smiled at him, but he gave me a sour look in return.

——————

We went to an abandoned shed with lots of random clumps of hair scattered around the area.

"This is the place I heard about" Jet told us.

Aang glared at him, "There's nothing here"

My sister and I prepared to strike, "If this is a trap–"

Jet put his hands up, "I told you, I work nearby! Two guys were talking about some giant furry creature they had, I figured it must be Appa!"

Toph gasped, "He was here!" She showed us a clump of hair.

Aang's face went down, "We missed him"

"They took that big thing yesterday," we gasped turning around to see a man sweeping the floor. "Shipped him out to some island. About time, I've been cleaning up fur, and various, uhhh... leavings all day"

Aang ran up to him, getting into his face, "What island? Where's Appa?"

"Foreman said some rich royal type on Whaletail Island bought him up. Guess for a zoo or such. Though, could be the meat that'd be good" he exclaimed.

Aang snapped his head to Sokka, "We've got to get to Whaletail Island! Where's Whaletail Island?"

Sokka and I glanced at the map, "Far" I sighed.

"Very far. Here it is. It's near the South Pole, almost all the way back home"

Katara walked up to Aang, "Aang, it will take us weeks just to get to the tip of the Earth Kingdom. And then we'll need to find a boat to get to the island"

Aang shook his head, "I don't care. We have a chance to find Appa! We have to try!"

"Must be nice to visit an island. I haven't had a vacation for years" the old man chimed in.

Katara glared at him, "Don't you have some more hair to clean up?"

"Shuffle on, I get you. No more need for Old Sweepy..."

Katara turned back to her obvious crush, "You're right Aang, right now our first concern has to be finding Appa. We can come back when we have him"

"Wait-"

Sokka nodded, "All right, let's get moving"

"Wait! We're leaving the city already? What-what about the Earth King? What about-what about the war?! What about-"

"What about your little Fire Nation boyfriend?" Sokka spat.

"He's not my boyfriend!"

"Well you sure do spend a lot of time with him" he crossed his arms.

"Because I'm happy to hang out with him!" I stepped closer towards him.

"I can tell you do, 'dancing' must be fun" he rolled his eyes.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I got in his face.

"You know what I mean! While we have been looking for Appa, you've been with the enemy!"

"Why? Why do you automatically assume he's the enemy?!"

"Sokka, you were fine before you knew his nation. How is this different?" Toph asked.

"Because he's a-" he stopped himself.

My eye twitch, "He's a what, Sokka?"

"Nothing" he looked down. 

"Come on little bro, say it. I know you want to. Say what's wrong with him. Say the big bad scary word. Say the word you used to scare the kids with back in the village to make them do their chores. Say the terrible word that automatically makes a person evil! Come on!" I spat.

"(Y/n)...."

"You scared now? Because let's be honest here, now it all makes sense why you are the next Chief," I let out a low laugh. "It must be part of the description to be racist"

"I-I" he continued to look down as something glossy started to trickle down both our cheeks.

"You what Sokka? You what?"

"I'M SORRY OK?!.. I'm so so sorry," he choked on his words making me jolt a little. "I'm so fucking sorry for being the worst possible brother! I'm sorry I was never there for you! I'm sorry I was never able to help you! I'm sorry I didn't see the suspicious activities back then! I'm sorry I never asked questions! I'm sorry I acted like a sexist prick! I'm sorry for taking your birth right! Ok?! I'm sorry ok?! It's my fault dad treated you this way! If I did something maybe you wouldn't have been living a terrible life! It's my fault I didn't realize it sooner! I mean the dots were all there! And I didn't connect them! It's my fault! It's my fault!" He cried, "I try so fucking hard to protect the people I love, and it never works! I couldn't protect you back home, I couldn't protect you from Zuko in the Northern Water Tribe and I couldn't protect... I couldn't protect Yue. I just want to keep the people I love safe... but I can't even see when I'm... when I'm being like dad"

I was taken aback as he cried. Like full out tears. I missed his reaction to Yue, and I believe that's the last time he's actually cried... ever.

"I used to look up to our father, but he was terrible. He hurt you more then I can ever know... and I just let it happen. I just... I don't want to lose you..." he cried.

I started to tear up more, did he really feel this way? He must've been holding these emotions in for a while.

"Sokka..." I cried hugging him, "I don't blame you for what father did"

"Y-you don't? But I was a bystander in it!" He sniffled.

"You didn't banish me, it's not your fault!"

We both continued to cry as he looked down to me slightly, "I shouldn't judge Lee before I meet him... if I do, I'm no better than dad. I'm just..."

"I understand. It's ok" I sighed.

"Can he come with us?" Katara asked.

"What?" I raised a brow.

"Well... we have to leave, can he come with us?"

Sokka nodded, "You said he was a refugee! He probably wants revenge against the Fire Lord too!"

I took a moment to think about it. Technically Zuko could want revenge... I mean he got half his face burned off, then banished, then betrayed and then labeled a traitor.

"Maybe he would..." I whipped away my final tears.

"He should come" Sokka smiled.

"R-really?" I smiled.

"Yes!" They all exclaimed.

"Bring the boy!" Toph smirked, "I need a new punching bag"

"You've become way more comfortable since you've met him. I mean you haven't had a nightmare since you met him" Katara smiled.

"Yeah... that's true," I wonder why though. "But what if you don't like him?"

"(Y/n) stop talking and go get him!" Aang told me.

"What?" I raised a brow.

"Go get your boyfriend and bring him with us!"

"Ok he's not my boy-"

"Why are you still here?!" Aang yelled as he Earthbended me to the front of the building, "You two meet us at the train station near the exit of Ba Sing Se!"

"I uh... ok?" I bit my lip.

Ok well let's see how this goes.

———————

I walked closer towards the station and was able to see Denki and Eijirou in the distance. They sent me a wave, as I did to them.

Right as I was about to walk up the stairs I felt something clash around my raised hand.

"Huh?" I gasped looking at my hand which was now covered in a rocky substance.

I felt it pull me and I tried to dig my feet into the ground, but I watched helplessly as the ground lifted up as well, "The fuck?" I gasped as I was shot around the corner.

I gasped as I smashed into the ground. I groaned feeling faint as I looked up seeing five Dai Le agents looking down at me.

"Nope!" I gasped lifting my foot up shooting a slash of fire at them. They weren't able to dodged it in time and their clothes set ablaze.

I got to my feet and began to run. I panted getting at least ten steps forward before the ground around me sank lower leaving my legs stuck three feet under the cobblestone.

I tried to shoot another blast in their direction but before I could, they bended rocks around my hands.

"You little bitches" I snarled at them.

The lead smirked kneeling down to meet my eyes. Before he could even speak I worked up a loogie and shot it in his eye.

He glared as he whipped it off, "This will be easier now"

"I'm so scared Tiny Tim" I rolled my eyes making fun of his low stature.

"Apologies from Long Feng" he chuckled before I saw a stone head for me... and that's the last thing I saw.

——————
(Zuko) POV

I walked up to the stairs to meet (Y/n). I should've explained what happened this morning. I should've told her. Ugh why was I such an idiot?!

I should've told her about how I still missed home, but would she even understand? Yes I know my father's a terrible person.. but he's still my dad, he's still my family. The only family I have left.

It doesn't matter, I've got a big bouquet of Pink Orchids. Her favourite. I remember one of the first nights we danced together I saw she was fascinated by the plant. I couldn't afford them back then, but I saved up enough for tonight. I even picked up an extra shift, dam imported flowers are expensive.

Then again, I think I might be the reason she even got to see flowers. They obviously don't grow in the South Pole, and if I didn't... take her would she have been able to ever leave?

The train pulled up and I greeted the two boys, "Hey guys," They looked at me with sorrow plastered on their faces. "What's wrong?"

"You're not gonna like it..." Denki sighed.

"What happened to (Y/n)?" I demanded an answer throwing her flowers on the ground as I gripped his collar.

—————
(Y/n) POV

I sat on my throne eagerly awaiting to see who was behind the entrance to my throne room.

It's been twelve years since I've seen him, and today's the day he finally returned.

I watched my old friend strut inside and stop by the stairs that lead to my throne, "Sozin! Or should I say, Fire Lord!"

I gave him a stern look, "Customarily, my subjects bow before greeting me," I scoffed before walking down to meet his eyes. I then smirked, "But you're the exception"

We then hugged. My best friend had finally returned home, and I knew, just knew he'd help me with my new plan to help our nation.

~~~

I gasped slowly coming too as I felt a raging headache stab into me. Did I drink cactus juice again?

I slowly was able to see my surroundings before the memories came flooding back to me like wild fire.

I gasped opening my eyes before I wishing I didn't.

"No," I shook my head. "No. No. No. No, not here again. Oh please Yue not here again! No!" I scramble to my feet as I began to shams my cold hands into the metal door.

I was back. Back in the ice prison. I slammed my hands on the metal and began to scream, "Let me go! Let me out!" I shattered eardrums with my cries.

I was back at the one place I feared most, and this time I don't think a Blue Spirit will be able to rescue me.

——————
(Third Person) POV

A Dai Lee agent took his portal around the Lower Ring. So far it'd been a slow night, not to many thugs. Or so he thought.

"Out of my way skinny!" A thing ran past him before grinding into an ally.

He sighed walking in it seeing the man standing before him. The agent took his rocks and shot them at the man, before watching it fall apart like hay.

"Huh?" Was all he was able to say before a monster put his dual swords to his throat.

"If you don't want to end up like him, you'll do what I say"

————
(Y/n) POV

I curled into a ball to try and heat myself up. I could feel my shivering at an all time high, it made me sick.

I heard the door clank open before looking up to see a man standing before me, "Are you alive?" He asked.

"Are you the one who locked me in this hell?" I sighed.

"Don't worry. You won't have to be in here forever" he exclaimed.

"Lucky me" I rolled my eyes.

"I don't think we've officially met yet-"

"I wish we hadn't" I glared at him as he sent me a similar one in return.

"Do you even know who I am?" He asked in a condescending tone.

"No" I lied shaking my head.

He smirked looking down at me, "My name is-"

"I didn't ask, sir" I cut him off.

"Excuse me? Do you know who you're talking to-"

"You r-really think I don't know who you... are?!" I spat as the chill started to overtake me.

I knew the moment he walked in who he was. I just didn't care.

I rolled my eyes, "You're Long Feng. I can tell by the Dai Le you're cowering with... if you were a real leader, you'd have came her alone. So it makes sense you have the Dai Le with you"

My family tells me everything, I knew he was taking over the city. I just didn't like to talk about it.

"Well if you're so smart you'd have kept your trap shut. I was going to allow you out of this... cell. But I guess you can wait" he rolled his eyes.

"Oh come and fight me little man!" I spat trying to get to my feet, but the moment I stood up my legs gave out and smashed into the icy floor.

I heard him let out a low chuckle, "Don't worry, you won't be here to long. Once the Avatar comes to collect you, you'll all be out of my city"

I couldn't contain my anger and let out a low gruff, "Fu...ck y-you"

He rolled his eyes before slamming the door shut leaving me in the icy dark metal cage.

I couldn't help myself before letting out a tear which immediately froze to my face. Before drifting back off to sleep.

——————
(Third Person) POV

While (Y/n) was unconscious, her family was searching for their lost bison.

The only problem was Long Feng was able to ambush them.

Jet and Aang followed him into a private location, but were immediately trapped by Long Feng.

"All right, Avatar, you've caused me enough problems. This is your last chance... if you want your bison back" he smirked.

Aang gripped his staff tighter, "You do have Appa! Tell me where he is!"

"Agree to exit the city now, and I'll waive all charges against you and allow you to leave with your lost pet"

"You're in no position to bargain" Jet pointed his blades at him.

"Agree to leave and... I'll let her and the bison go" he smirked.

"What?" They both raised a brow.

"Who's 'her'?" Aang glared at him.

Long Feng smirked before pulling out a familiar necklace from his pocket, making both boys gasp.

"What did you do to her?!" He yelled, "Where's my big sister?!" He screamed.

"Agree to leave and she'll live" he threw it into the Avatar's hands.

"You won't get away with this!" Jet spat.

Long Feng smirked turning to the older boy, "Jet, the Earth King has invited you to Lake Laogai"

Jet gasped before blacking out, "I am honored to accept his invitation"

————————

"So were supposed to just stand here? W-what if she melts the metal?!" One of the guards guarding (Y/n) rambled.

"You can't be serious right now, she can't burn the metal. The temperature's to cold for her to even stand. I doubt that she's even awake" the other calmed him down.

The Blue Spirit took no time to pick up a stray rock and hit one of the guards square in the middle of his head, knocking him out.

Before the other could even process what was going on before he was also knocked to the ground.

He stalked towards the door before jiggling the door- nothing happened.

He twisted his face before he went into the guards pockets searching for some keys. When he couldn't find any, he grunted before just kicking the door down.

He jolted seeing (Y/n) passed out on the icy cold floor. 'They put her in here again?'

He knelt down and moved a strand of hair out of her face, "(Y/n)? (Y/n) can you hear me?" He asked slightly moving her.

She began to fidget before groaning as she opened her eyes slightly, "Z..uko?"

"Hey. I'm here. I'm here"

"Is that really you?"

He took off his mask to meet her gaze and smiled, "Yeah. Let's get you out of here"

He lifted her into his arms and started to run with her. As they tried to escape he warmed his body temperature up to help keep her for getting into hypothermia.

"There gonna be after you now" she sighed.

"I'm not scared of the Dai Le" he reassured her.

"I wasn't talking about the Dai Le" she sniffed.

He sighed, "Do they know?"

"About what?"

"....Us"

"Kinda..."

He sighed, "Let's get you out here-" he stopped when they heard a familiar growl.

"Was that...?" (Y/n) raised a brow before they heard a yell behind them.

"They went that way!"

Zuko quickly bolted toward the growl before entering a room and slamming the door shut.

He help (Y/n) to her feet before they saw him, "Appa?" She gasped limping over towards him before smashing her body into his, "I missed you buddy" she cried.

The bison huffed in response sending a heated breath at her, heating her up, "Thank you" she hugged him.

The door began to open before Zuko had to smash himself into it.

"There coming!" She yelled.

"I can see that!"

"What are we gonna do?!"

Zuko looked up seeing an open skylight, "That's your way out"

"My way? What about you?!"

He threw (Y/n) her fans, "Cut the bison free and get out of here!"

"I can't leave you here!"

"This isn't a question (Y/n)!"

"They'll capture you!"

"You need to get out of here! You're in no poisson to fight!"

"I can still help!"

"I'll figure something out, go!"

She sighed before smashing the chains around Appa, setting him free, "Wait one second" she told her bison before running up to the prince.

"What are you doi-" he couldn't finish his sentence as (Y/n) quickly pecked his nose.

"See you in the Lower Ring?" She chuckled as her face became rose red.

His was past red as he stammered, "Uh... Upper actually..."

"What?"

"We got a tea shop, of our own" he chuckled.

She smiled fixing his mask before sliding it back on his face, "I'll see you in the Upper Ring then," before running to Appa. "Yip-yip!" She yelled before Appa began to fly away.

He smirked watching her fly out of the prison, "See you then Orchid"

He then jumped out of the way allowing the Dai Le to flow in before vanishing without a trace.

——————
(Y/n) POV

"Come on Appa!" I yelled as I saw my family in the distance.

They saw us as I gasped, "Guys!"

"(Y/n)! Appa!" They all yelled as we got closer towards them.

We abruptly landed, and were able to take out a couple Dai Le.

"Oh hi Bitch Feng!" I chuckled as he growled at us, "What? Surprised I escaped the ice prison?" I laughed, "I'm the fucking Southern Dragon, you can't hold me!"

"I can handle you by myself" he spat before Appa charged at him bitting his ankle as yeeting him across the lake.

"(Y/n)! You're ok!" They all came around before hugging me and Appa.
