Katara awoke that morning before dawn. The sun rose more beautiful, more brilliant, more warm, that it had in one hundred years. Aang came out to join her. He put his arms around her and held her tightly, Katara did the same, and it was clear that no matter how far apart they were, they would always be together. They stood on the balcony and watched the sun blanket the earth in it's warm glow.

Meanwhile in a darker place, Zuko continued to interrogate his father.

"Where is my mother?" Zuko question his helpless father. He had been there for over two hours, with no answer. Zuko's patience was incredible. He asked the same question (with some variation) over and over again while his father just snickered and smiled devilishly.

Zuko questioned his father for about and hour more, until his wonderful patience broke.

" Where is she?" he asked one more time. He was     arded with the memory of the first time he asked his father that fateful question. His fathers answer was also the same as it was years ago.

He asked again, this time he yelled

"WHERE IS SHE?" Zuko now had dagger shaped flames coming from his hands. He waited only a few seconds for his fathers answer.

"ANSWER ME!" Zuko was red with rage, anger, and a great deal or loss. The small daggers in his hands became twin dragons, that roared with him when he yelled. Ozai barley even flinched when this happened because, although he knew he could do nothing to protect himself, he also knew that, through his banishment, Zuko had become a wise, powerful, and composed young man, who wouldn't use force lightly.

"TELL ME WHERE SHE IS!" Zuko roared, his flames caught some of the stone on fire, and turned the steel bars bright red.

This time Ozai cowered in fear, thinking that Zuko was going to strike.

But Zuko did nothing. He quietly unclenched his hands, and spoke calmly to his father.

"You are not worth my rage." Zuko left and slammed the prison door behind him, knowing that he had thrown a       blow to his fathers pride, or rather ,whatever he had left.

"Any luck with your dad?" Mai asked Zuko. She had been there leaning on hard stone walls waiting for Zuko since the time that he entered the prison cell.

"No" Zuko replied "And I don't think I ever will."

"Don't worry Zuko" Mai said "We'll find her" Mai flashed a smile at ZUko and he returned it.

Mai grabbed Zuko's hand and gave him a kiss on the cheek, and they walked back to the palace together.
