Red and white, that's what glazed the ground. The night snow was smeared with blood. Blood of comrades and enemies, bodies laid waste on the snow. The cold would save them for some other animal to feed on them. That's what the ice did, to preserve the cycle of life in the South. Looking at the bodies that spilt the blood one could see black upon their skin.
Then it happened! Steam rolled along the snow as fire was shot from fists. The fists belonged to the New Ozai Society. Soldiers walked as they fire bent along the ice at soldiers who were falling left and right. Water Benders stood no chance on this night as this night was the dark moon night. Only the fat burning lanterns allowed the blood to be seen.
An old warrior of the Southern Water Tribe stood his ground. The bridge of his nose scared with a bloody crack. His chest had bore two bolts in it, both in his left pectoral. His eyes were glazed with white as he had a bone made stub for his right leg right under the thigh. He held a up a knife as he pushed a button on it's hilt. The spring inside the knife shot the blade into the head of a fire bender. The old man heard his name be called to him, "SOKKA!"
Sokka looked up to see Aang, the man who married his sister. He was old now just like Sokka, only Sokka had gray hair from the constant fighting. Both with his spirit and his enemies. The new Ozai order rose for a fifth time in the last 35 years. And each time they got more and more threatening. It was like the war never ended in the first place.
Sokka supposed it would never end as he wrestled with his soul. He saw flashes of faces of those he loved. Yue, there standing in front of him. You didn't protect me. Then there was Suki, I thought you loved me? That was right after Kyoshi Island was incinerated and he had left to help save his home land. He had gotten back in time to see his love die after holding on for two days. Toph flashed in his mind as she appeared full of icicles with blood all over the sharp ends that came out of her back. I thought you said you had my back Snoozles? Of course none of them really said this. But, it is what he always thought they would say to him thanks to his failure. Then, Kaya, burned and scorched. Why didn't you tell me from the beginning that you weren't the Avatar? Ty Lee armless as she hung from her ankles. Cutie this is your fault!
Sokka saw there at the head of the New Ozai Order, Kei Lo. So, the new leader finally came out of hiding? But, what was that in his hand?
Sokka then saw what it was as he took the tower shield of the dead fire bender a few feet to his left. Kei Lo tossed the ball at Sokka as the Avatar landed by his friend to aid him. This entire attack Sokka finally figured out was to kill the Avatar. Sokka slammed the tower shield in front of Aang startling him to hit the snow. Kei Lo had already bent some fire at the orb as it went at the two brothers. That's when it happened.
Steam rolled along the ice as ice was flash melted letting water flow on both sides of Aang. A flash of bright light and fire raced past the shield. But the shield cast an area of protection from the flames. Aang then saw the fire be quenched by the cold air and rose to see the New Ozai order still standing. But, where was Sokka?
That's when he saw the skeleton with rags of flesh on it's frame. The skeleton held the shield in place with a right leg missing. It was Sokka's skeleton. Aang's eyes drew in as his eyes and tattoos glowed. Floating high in the sky he finished the fight as Sokka looked 17 once more. His upper lip having the moustache and his side burns shaved to look like canines. His hair was in a wolf tail with the sides of his head shaved down to show a light layer of hair making his side burns stick out all the more as they were very thick.
Sokka felt the blast as he looked up to the horizon. The sun rose to start a new day as the bright made him think of the burns. That was when he woke from the harsh chills of life. Sokka's eyes closed instinctively as he shielded himself and screamed moving to combat the flames. Open!
