And so, they left Trixie's Bar to search for Zuko's Uncle Iroh and of course, the Avatar.

Currently, a few minutes after leaving the bar, they were in the woods. Zuko walked in-between Akira and Fumizuki.

"So, uhm.. I didn't catch your name." Zuko looked at Fumizuki. "My name is Zuko." Zuko told her with a soft, though kind of awkward, shy smile.

"I'm Fumizuki." Fumizuki smiled at Zuko, ready to help him on this mission.

He would hold his hand out. Within seconds, his massive blade flew through the air and the handle went directly into Drael's hand.

"And my papa, Drael, will help us as well." Fumizuki added.

As they trudged through the dense underbrush, Akira glanced sideways at Zuko, noting the way his eyes flickered with curiosity beneath that carefully crafted facade. With a gentle smile, she stepped forward, her voice warm and inviting, like sunlight breaking through the canopy.

“I'm Akira,” she introduced herself, her tone laced with a hint of excitement. “It’s an honor to meet you, Zuko-san.” She could sense his shyness and found it endearing; he seemed less like a prince and more like a young man searching for his place in the world, much like herself.

Turning to Fumizuki and Drael, she added, “And this is Fumizuki, right? It is an honor to have you traveling with us. An honor to meet you too, Drael-san.” Akira's admiration for both their spirits shone in her eyes as she embraced the moment of connection.

With a quick glance toward the path ahead, she continued, “I think together, we can find Iroh and the Avatar. There’s so much we can learn from them.” Her words flowed with genuine enthusiasm, her boundless empathy for their journey knitting them together like a tapestry.

The forest, alive with rustling leaves and distant calls, felt charged with purpose as they walked on, united by a shared mission and the budding friendship that flickered among them.

"So…where are we gonna start looking?" Fumizuki asked curiously. She had absolutely no idea herself, but she was hoping that someone else would. "Is there a specific place that the Avatar would be?"

Zuko smiled, "Fumizuki, Akira, and.. Drael? Nice to meet you all.."

The young prince looked at Fumizuki, "Uhm, I don't know.. the Avatar went missing, 90 somethin' years or so.." Zuko murmured. "As for my Uncle, he has to be around Earth Kingdom territory! We were heading there before we got separated by some people attackin' us."

"Okie, we can start there." Fumizuki proclaims excitedly…only for her to promptly realize that she has no idea where the Earth Kingdom is. "Umm, how do we get there?"

Zuko opened his mouth as if he knew the answer, before also realizing he had no idea where the Earth Kingdom was either. Iroh had knew, but he wasn't here.
"I have no idea.. maybe we can ask someone for directions?" Zuko suggested.

Fumizuki thinks for a moment, then gets an idea. "Papa Drael, you're the tallest one of us. Can you see any mountains or anything we could use as a vantage point to scope out our location?"

He flourished his massive blade and let it rest on his shoulder.

"You know I can fly, sweet face" He said warmly to Fumizuki. His wings sprouted from his back and with one flap of his wings, he flew upwards into the air. He would land and start telling what he saw "to the west is all mountains. To the south is a large mesa"

Akira stood quietly, her brown eyes scanning the horizon as her companions debated their next move. Fumizuki’s excitement was infectious, but Akira felt a familiar knot of uncertainty tighten in her chest. The weight of their quest pressed heavily on her, a stark reminder of the missing Avatar and the urgency of their mission.

As Zuko admitted his lack of direction, a soft sigh escaped Akira’s lips. She respected his determination but couldn’t help feeling the undercurrent of frustration at their collective cluelessness. The world was vast, and every moment wasted could mean more danger for the Avatar.

When Fumizuki turned to Drael, her face lit with a spark of hope, Akira couldn’t help but smile. The imposing figure of Drael was a comforting presence, his strength radiating confidence. With a flourish, he unfurled his wings, an impressive sight that reminded Akira of the freedom she often yearned for.

As Drael soared into the sky, Akira’s heart raced. She watched intently as he described the mountains to the west and the mesa to the south. It was a start, a clue they desperately needed. Yet, Akira’s mind danced with possibilities, the tangled threads of fate weaving through her thoughts.

“Mountains…” she murmured, her voice barely a whisper against the backdrop of the vast landscape. “They can be a good landmark. If we follow Drael’s sighting, perhaps we’ll find a village or some travelers who know more.”

Her thoughts turned inward, reflecting on her abilities. The Earth Kingdom was a realm rich with nature’s essence—an element she felt particularly attuned to. She could sense the earth’s vibrations, almost feeling the pulse beneath her feet.

“Let’s move,” she said with newfound determination, her voice steady and clear. “We’ll head west. If we can get to the mountains, we can find someone who can guide us.”

Akira took a step forward, her heart resolute. She felt the flicker of hope igniting within her. This was more than a quest for the Avatar; it was a chance to connect, to help, and to discover the world that had long been shrouded in mystery for her. With each step, she could almost feel the earth welcoming her, urging her onward into the unknown.

"Okie then." Fumizuki seemed happy that the party now had a good idea of where they were going. She happily follows along with the others as they make their way westwards.

He took off upward and would do a quick flyover. He glided through the air seemingly without a sound as he ensured the safe passage of the party. He wasn't flying as fast as he could, because to do so, he wouldn't be able to do a proper scan.

As the four of them continued their journey westwards, Fumizuki handed out snacks to Drael, Zuko, and Akira. "Always important to have food for a long journey."

He smiled proudly at Fumizuki before taking a snack from her and takes a bite.
