ASTHEGROUPOFTEENSSOARED on the back of Appa's saddle, headed towards the crescent-shaped island shrouded by wispy clouds, the young Avatar's voice spoke suddenly through the hushed silence of dust, a shout of excitement quickly leaving his lungs as he said...
"There it is!"
In response to his outburst, the rest of the group quickly sat up from their places on the saddle, their gazes trained towards the direction Aang pointed in. It looked how Aang had described to them. The crescent island possessed a landmass that curved gracefully around the all-but-glistening waters that surrounded it. Its uniqueness made a great impression on the group as their eyes were drawn towards the center of the place, where a colossal volcano towered above everything around them, standing proudly just behind the temple. Its peak had been veiled in a thick cloud of ash and smoke, ensuing from the volcano's fiery heart, which had churned and rumbled with life. Lava cascaded down the sides of it, leaving behind an intricate pattern of blackened rocks, and hardened magma. It was a sight to behold. This was why the group couldn't help but feel struck in the presence of such a raw power and grandeur that was once a home to one of the most powerful people to have ever lived.
Appa soared towards the island. He descended, with great precision, down onto the ground and landed near the temple but not too close as to grab any attention. All of them soon slid down Appa's side and set their feet onto the rich ground for the first time in hours. Aang dismounted the giant bison and stood by his side, gazing upon the place in front of them with awe and admiration, disbelieving that someone had once lived here. He couldn't help but pat Appa's furry face lovingly, a look of gratitude in his eyes for his loyal companion's unwavering support, and his vast assistance on their dangerous trip just to get there.
Katara approached Appa and Aang with a gentle smile on her face, kneeling down beside the bison, and beginning to rub his belly, "You must be tired," she cooed softly as she glanced at the scorch marks on his fur and hoped to offer the exhausted bison some comfort and relief with her words.
Sokka, who stood nearby, overheard Katara's comment, and quickly assumed she had been addressing him, "No. I'm good," he replied in confidence as he stretched out his arms and legs, "Refreshed and ready to fight some firebenders!" he smirked at the idea.
"Sokka..." Elua shook her head at his words, "I laugh often just from knowing you," she chuckled, glancing at him in disbelief, having nothing else to say.
It was her statement that made his cheeks flush red, but instead of speaking words, or saying something back to the girl, all he could get out was... "T-That—Well—I am... Yes," and all of that left the Airbender staring at him in vast confusion.
