"Yuna was successful in giving Lisa the seed, Wildmother. Also, Sunghoon's pack helped with the frost worms that blocked their path. Is there anything else that we can do to help?", asked Karina while kneeling in front of the statue of Melora.
"Any more than this would be too much intervention from us. You have done well, Karina. We can only hope that they make it safely to their destination.", replied Melora through the passing wind.
Within the gentle night breeze, Karina felt the warmth of Melora around her. She smiled while kissing the palm of her right hand before placing it at the foot of the statue.

Aang looked up towards the full moon, now hidden behind storm clouds. He raised his arms to the sky, closed his eyes, and prayed.
